“They loaned people money. It is not being paid back, and they need to be represented, and it is required that we represent them zealously’’ – Mark Harmon

He operates the largest foreclosure law firm in the state, and these hard times have made Mark P. Harmon a very busy man. Some critics assail his tactics, but Harmon is unapologetic: Lenders, after all, need zealous lawyers, too.
Devenia Mack doesn’t know Mark P. Harmon personally, but the Newton lawyer is intimately involved in her housing crisis. His company, Harmon Law Offices, was hired by Wells Fargo Bank last year to seize Mack’s Westminster ranch house by foreclosure.
His son, Andrew, signed the paperwork that transferred the mortgage to Wells Fargo.
His title company stamped the document notifying Mack that the bank was taking her home.
And his auction company put the property up for sale.
Mack, a 46-year-old mother of five, went to court to fight back. She claimed Harmon’s law firm and auction company worked with Wells Fargo to begin the foreclosure process without technically owning the mortgage. Mack said she was in the midst of negotiating with the bank to lower her payments when she heard about the auction.
“I don’t know how it could have gotten that far when I did everything they told me to,’’ she said.
In October, a judge issued a preliminary injunction preventing the auction. The case is still pending.
Mack’s suit is one of more than 100 cases filed in Massachusetts superior and federal district courts since 2005 against Harmon Law Offices, by far the state’s largest legal firm specializing in foreclosures. In Boston alone last year, it handled 40 percent of all home foreclosures – about one a day, according to a Globe review of public records. Statewide, the company has advertised more than 15,600 foreclosure auctions scheduled between January 2010 and September of this year.
With a law office, title firm, and auction company under his umbrella, Harmon has assembled a network that can slice through the complexities of a foreclosure faster than most stand-alone legal firms – it’s a one-stop shopping center for banks and mortgage companies. A reputation for speed and efficiency has attracted major clients such as Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase – in addition to Wells Fargo – which hire Harmon Law to process thousands of cases annually. It is also one of just five Massachusetts law firms on a list that mortgage giant Fannie Mae uses to farm out business.
Critics – including consumer advocates, attorneys, and foreclosure law specialists – say the firm’s size and scope allow it to sometimes act like a bully, steamrolling over people’s rights to maximize profits. Among their allegations: Harmon Law has unfairly foreclosed upon homeowners who were in the process of renegotiating their loans, charged exorbitant fees, and used inaccurate or falsified paperwork.
Harmon Law also has defenders who say its attorneys do their best to perform work that can often be unpleasant.

I’ll take my chances with a scratch ticket rather than take that bet…lol.
Here are a few fun quotes from the Boston Globe’s front page article:
“John L. O’ Brien, head of the Southern Essex District Registry of Deeds in Salem, said he found five different versions of Andrew Harmon’s signature on foreclosure-related legal documents as part of an investigation into alleged robosigners – information he submitted to Coakley’s office.”
“Indeed, the firm’s determination to get the job done can cause emotions to erupt, especially those of desperate homeowners. (It is why Harmon Law’s Newton offices are fortified with security glass.) Because when you peel away the layers of foreclosure paperwork and legalese, Harmon’s business comes down to getting people like Mack out of their homes and doing it as quickly as possible.”
Fortified with security glass?!?
Referenced in the front page article are signatures by one of the attorneys at the Harmon Foreclosure mill. The link below is a collection of his signatures and the analysis by a “Court Qualified Document and Handwriting Examiner”. After he wrote the analysis, for some odd reason, he saw the light, and ammended his “analysis”. Turns out this attorney is a rare individual who signs his name differently quite a bit. Especially on legal documents.
See for yourself…
Andrew Harmon Signatures Examined by Handwriting Expert
Wonder what happened…
.
A deposition posted here a week or so ago, if you read it explains why there can be so many different styles for the same name. It is because in house operation of corporations authorize in writing a resolution or whatever they call it, which delegates by name another individual to sign with “authority” the name of another person/CEO. Yes there may not be authority in writing which should be demanded to be proven. Yes there may be forgeries and all purported signatures should be forensically examined.
However, what is most important is in an instance that it requires “personal knowledge”, by the person signing, this is the crucial defect and fatal variance to zero in on pertaining to affidavits, as explained in opinions recently posted here, when various appellate decisions reverse the lower court on summary judgment and default and failure to vacate upon such motion after default as this is fraud upon the court – detrimental to the interest of justice for all and integrity of the process resulting in reasonable judgments in the due course of the law and process of Notice requirements to support the standing to maintain a controversy.

Still waiting for you all to phone or contact me someway.
Still waiting for someone to explain how to submit a new post so that I can post something also, rather than have what I post as a comment for an article get lost in the reply comments here, when prior posts become stale.
The Document:
What I want to post here is the draft legislative agenda information I also have provided here:
similar to what has been done recently in Massachusetts concerning the issues that the lawsuit by Los Angeles v. Deutsche Bank is complaining about for public nuisance abatement and taking these properties away from the banksters through grassroots legislative correction by counties and cities across America.
