In yet another blow to the Florida Foreclosure Mills, Federal mortgage giant Freddie Mac has announced that it is pulling its cases from the Law Offices of Marshall C. Watson. A statement from the Fort Lauderdale based firm announced that "Freddie Mac and our firm mutually decided to part ways" and that all cases Freddie Mac files will be removed from the firm. Freddie Mac spokesman Brad German stated that "going forward our servicers will be directing business to other counsel" but that the Marshall C. Watson firm will continue to work with Freddie Mac to guarantee that the existing foreclosure files will be transitioned smoothly and quickly.
In November 2010, both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced that they were firing Florida Foreclosure Mill the Law Offices of David J. Stern and this announcement comes roughly one month after Fannie Mae announced that it would no longer be using Fort Lauderdale based Ben-Ezra & Katz. The Law Offices of Marshall C. Watson are still on the list of retained attorneys for Fannie Mae.
The removal of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac cases from Stern turned out to be the death nail for that firm as it announced last week that it was stopping all foreclosure related business. So far, Ben-Ezra & Katz is still does not appear have been hampered by the withdrawal of Fannie Mae cases, as it continues to maintain its foreclosure operations.
