Bank Fraud

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina Lawyer Defending Lenders in Bank Fraud Cases Since the 1980s

The subprime mortgage crisis and the current upheavals in the banking industry have led to enormous scrutiny by both state and federal regulators seeking to hold banks accountable for mortgage fraud, financial misconduct, and other illegal practices.

In the current political and media climate, indictments against banks and bank officers bring prosecutors immediate and enormous public approval.

During the 1980s savings and loan crisis, firm founder Jim Irvin represented banks in seven states. He has an in-depth understanding of the banking industry, federal and state regulations, the regulatory enforcement process, and both South Carolina and federal criminal procedure. He is well prepared to fully investigate complex financial evidence in bank fraud and related cases.

Today, banks are highly at risk for both federal and state bank fraud investigations. As a result, very public and damaging allegations of bank fraud may be made without regard to the true strength of the case. These accusations are capable of creating great uncertainty in the markets and promoting instability. An eventual exoneration is not enough. You need to stop allegation of bank fraud in its tracks.

For more than four decades, attorney Jim Irvin has defended banks, savings and loans, and other lending institutions as well as their officers when they have faced serious criminal allegations such as:

• Bank fraud of any description
• Mortgage fraud or predatory lending practices
• Concealing assets or liabilities
• Filing false financial documents
• Deceptive practices
• Consumer fraud scams
• Embezzlement, Ponzi schemes, money laundering and other white collar crimes

When the Justice Department, state or federal regulatory agencies, or the attorney general reach the point of filing charges involving financial crime, it is generally after a long and thorough investigation. Agents have likely tracked your banking practices for a considerable amount of time.

The sooner you contact an attorney, the more quickly your attorney can begin to counter the allegations. If you even suspect you or your organization is under investigation, it is essential to contact an experienced lawyer immediately.

Attorney Irvin's success stems from early intervention. He works with expert investigators to carefully review banking fraud allegations against his clients. Mr. Irvin is well prepared to negotiate with investigative agents before an indictment is formally sought.

His proactive approach has brought investigations of some clients to positive conclusions with no charges brought and no negative publicity generated. In other circumstances Mr. Irvin has succeeded in minimizing the charges and publicity.
