REDUCED (ALL) | MORTGAGE FRAUD/FORGERY REDUCED to a class 6 open/misdemeanor with PROBATION and ZERO DAYS JAIL – State v. Ms. F. (DMC No. 10148) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2011-107402): Ms. F. was accused of over inflating her income on her residential real estate loan in order to secure a house. Eventually, the economy turned bad and the house was forfeited back to the bank. When it was discovered that she had falsified her loan application (i.e. a “liar’s loan”), and she was charged with “felony forgery” and “felony mortgage fraud”. We were able to get the case reduced to a simple “possession of forgery device” class 6 open/misdemeanor with probation and zero day’s jail. The case was later designated as a misdemeanor and Ms. F. has no felony on her record.
