Shapiro & Fishman law firm under state investigation


Shapiro & Fishman LLP is among three foreclosure law firms under investigation by Attorney General Bill McCollum. The investigations focus on allegations of unfair and deceptive actions by firms handling foreclosure cases, a release said. Shapiro & Fishman have offices in Tampa and Boca Raton. The other two firms named are the Law Offices of Marshall C. Watson PA in Fort Lauderdale and the Law Offices of David J. Stern PA in Plantation. The firms were hired by loan servicers to initiate foreclosure proceedings when mortgage holders failed to pay, the release said. The attorney generals economic crimes division is investigating whether improper documentation may have been created and filed with Florida courts to speed up foreclosure, potentially without the knowledge or consent of homeowners involved.
