Attorney office for Fannie Mae shutting their doors

Wednesday, November 23

Anyone hear about the foreclosure attorney office that is shutting their doors after an employee was offended by the office Halloween party and sent the pictures to the New York Times? the party was themed and everyone dressed up as "evicted homeowners" who fell into foreclosure. They had tents set up in the office with sleeping bags like they were now homeless. Signs posted saying things like "I'm not in foreclosure! I was never served!" Mocking people that were evicted from their homes.

Now, this is a case of a business being insensitive to a point of being obscene. Fannie Mae as well as a few other banks found out about this and decided this was not good for them and quickly removed all their accounts and their servicer accounts from this Law Firm, which essentially forced them to close their doors for lack of business.

I have worked hands on with persons being evicted from their foreclosed homes and it is a very sad experience for everyone. For a law firm to be so insensitive to individuals who for one reason or another were no longer making enough money to keep their home is heartbreaking. But do the 80+ employees of this law firm deserve to be penalized for their actions by losing their jobs? Ironic don't you think?
