Message To All Foreclosure Bank Lawyers: If you need help finding your fake, non-legally existent clients, I’m for hire.
The Wizard Of Oz has now officially been exposed. In this case, when the attorney representing the foreclosing parties is faced with counterclaims for fraud, he attempts to flee the case like a cockroach when the lights come on. However, the court would not allow his withdrawal. Now, the attorney admits he doesn’t have any clients, and resorts to Google to find them. While scrambling to locate his clients, he admits no legal existence, as well as a liquidation by the named trust. (See: Order on MSJ (1)) For anyone out there defending against Christiana Trust, a Division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, MTGLQ Investors, Select Portfolio Serving, or Rushmore Loan Management, pull this out and slap before your judge.
Excerpt:
Langendorf’s claims for conversion, slander of title, fraud and her petition for punitive damages survived CT’s motion to dismiss. With the case in this posture, Mr. Hill now indicates that he has never really had any contact with his client, only the servicer SPS. Nevertheless, he states that he has, recently, asked everyone that he can think of at both servicers, SPS and Rushmore, for leads on who he should talk to at CT, inquiring from the servicers, “Who do I alert to tell [CT] they need to get separate counsel to represent them on the Counterclaim?”8
Mr. Hill reports that he “never really did get an answer from either entity.”9 And so, he explains, “I finally resorted to just Googling ‘general counsel Christiana Trust’ and came up with the name of John Olsen.”10 Mr. Hill sent a letter to Mr. Olsen, a copy of which is now in the record. After receiving no response, Mr. Hill explains he again raised the issue with the representative of Rushmore while at mediation, stating:
“I’ve got a problem here. I’m counsel of record for a client that doesn’t know I exist, has no way of paying me; and, frankly doesn’t exist as a legal entity because the trust has been liquidated according to Select Portfolio, that is what they told me.”
According to Mr. Hill, Rushmore’s representative suggested he contact Denise Baker at Wilmington Savings. Again, he sent a letter. And again, he has had no response. Thus, he explains:
“So we’re moving to withdraw. . . I have no relationship with Christiana Trust other than through Select Portfolio—which tells me they don’t have any relationship with Christiana Trust. They don’t know who I am. I have no means of getting paid on the case. I don’t have anybody to talk to at that client . . . .”
The Court cannot but wonder how this case could have been litigated to its current posture without significant contact with Christiana Trust, much less with no communication at all.
