Financial Investigative Services (FIS), a leading California based investigative agency and mortgage expert witness firm has launched a dedicated website to assist the legal community to locate and retain qualified and vetted expert witnesses.
Demand for specialized mortgage investigators and expert witnesses has recently increased as the downturn in mortgage lending and real estate has exposed “Boom-Time” mortgage fraud and sham real estate transactions.
Akin to the 2008 financial crisis, financial institutions are in the early stages of uncovering mortgage, real estate, and title insurance fraud that went undetected by loan originators, such as banks, credit unions, and mortgage bankers.
Law firms, insurers, and lenders are all seeking skilled experts who are professionally trained and credentialed to root-out mortgage application fraud and identify real estate schemes, such as forged deeds, identity theft, insider real estate theft, and occupancy fraud.
In addition to providing investigation and real estate expert services, FIS conducts vetting of experts not contracted to FIS. The expert referral program saves law firms time and money by pre-screening experts, conducting background investigations, and verifying credentials.
FIS was at the forefront of the 2008 financial crisis serving as expert witnesses in civil and criminal fraud cases. In recent years, FIS expanded its operations by adding a licensed fraud investigation unit and internal audit group.
