A former employee of Florida "foreclosure mill" Shapiro & Fishman has instructed the firm to stop using her electronic login information and electronic signature to file pleadings with her name on it, months after she voluntarily left the firm!! The attorney left the firm on July 31, 2010 to pursue another job opportunity but apparently the "foreclosure mill" used her electronic signature and log-in information to file legal pleadings up to December 14, 2010.
In her letter to Shapiro & Fishman, the attorney asked that the firm "determine how many documents were improperly filed using her electronic signature" and she requests that the firm "withdraw those documents immediately." She also asks for certification that all documents filed under her name have been "withdrawn and properly resolved" and the firm take full responsibility for its actions. A Florida Foreclosure Defense Lawyer wishes her luck getting those assurances.
Will this practice, that many are now calling "robo-lawyering", be the next
wrinkle in the fraud many "foreclosure mills" are perpetrating on Florida courts and Florida homeowners.
