ICE LEGAL IN THE NEWS
Ice Legal attorney, Amanda Lundergan, argued Pino vs. Bank of New York in the Florida Supreme Court:
"If you do not give the courts permission to address fraud, it sets up a system where every litigant's bad acts are not only condoned but encouraged. They can lie and cheat. If they get caught, they simply dismiss."
“What it seems like to me, you’re just looking for a ‘gotcha’ to get out of the mortgage. Am I wrong?”
Lundergan: “Absolutely wrong.”
“I understand that there are some things that have happened, I mean on a grand scale, that it should be an embarrassment to an industry, to the legal system. And your firm, in terms of uncovering what happened here, you know, appreciate that. … I think there is a grave concern that the Plaintiffs who were foreclosing on mortgages whether I thought it was just, you know, robo-signing which would be different, this looks like actually a fraudulent document that was used for an assignment, blatantly fraudulent document."
