Since Florida's mortgage crisis began about six years ago, banks have agreed to pay millions of dollars to settle allegations that they wrongfully foreclosed on thousands of homeowners. Prosecutors have charged loan servicers with filing fraudulent documents on behalf of banks.
But the law firms and lawyers that homeowners and judges contend took part in those same practices? Some critics are accusing Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Florida Bar of not going after them hard enough.
"The door was left wide open and the AG did nothing," said attorney,Tom Ice, who has represented homeowners who say they were cheated.
Added attorney Matt Weidner, "You have an attorney general shrugging her shoulders and walking away. How is this allowed to occur?"
Bondi said she would do more if she could.
"I'm all about prosecuting bad lawyers, believe me," she said.
There's little discipline of lawyers in general. But, what about the AG?
