The law firm of Ben-Ezra & Katz is shutting down its operations. This was confirmed by a spokesperson of the firm. The firm has given layoff notices to 146 of its employees. Additionally, the company will layoff 8 of its employees that work for the title company run by the firm. As recently as February of this year, Ben-Ezra & Katz had almost 600 employees. The company's demise began in February when the company lost all of its foreclosure business from Fannie Mae due to the mishandling of Fannie Mae's foreclosure files. Ben-Ezra & Katz is the second Florida foreclosure mill to shut its doors in the past two months. The law offices of David J. Stern shut down its foreclosure operations in late March.
Update: The Palm Beach Post has more information on the firm
