United States v. Michael Samuda (mortgage fraud prosecution).
Our client was a title attorney accused of creating double HUDs to obtain more money than was needed from lenders.
The government charged at least 8 individuals in three separate indictments. All of the attorney’s codefendants and two of his employees cooperated with the government and testified against him. After a two week trial, the jury found him not guilty on four wire fraud counts and hung on the remaining three counts. Ms. Kaplan successfully persuaded the government to dismiss the remaining counts after trial.
