From the Sun Sentinel:
Attorney David J. Stern has spent much of the past year in the spotlight, as reports of legal troubles plaguing Florida’s home foreclosure system continue to emerge.
Stern’s Plantation-based foreclosure practice is one of eight under investigation by the Florida attorney general for allegations of fabricating documents, slipshod paperwork and questionable fees.
The mortgage lenders who once loved him have severed their business ties with him. DJSP Enterprises, a company he created to handle nonlegal foreclosure work, has been sued by former employees who claim the company violated layoff notification laws as it slashed its staff to about 50. Last week, Stern announced that he will cease the law firm’s home repossession operations March 31.
