Baum's foreclosure practices have been under intense federal and state scrutiny in recent months, culminating in Fannie Mae joining Freddie Mac last week in barring the firm from receiving new referrals from the federally backed mortgage giants.

Amid an investigation by the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan, Baum agreed last month to pay $2 million and change its practices after admitting to errors in legal filings that it blamed on the high volume of mortgage defaults and foreclosures it handles.

Guess they dont find it so funny now. Couldnt happen to a nicer group of people.


"The company employs 67 full- and part-time employees in suburban Buffalo and 22 on Long Island. The closing may also affect hundreds of others employed at a document-processing firm that shares office space with Baum........
.....Last year, the Amherst firm handled nearly 40 percent of the 46,572 foreclosure actions brought in New York courts, the New York Law Journal reported in February."Disrupting the livelihoods of so many dedicated and hardworking people is extremely painful, but the loss of so much business left us no choice but to file these notices," a statement from owner Steven J. Baum said"
Gee, I hope none of those poor paralegals lose their condo on long island. Or get fat and get dumped by their day-trader boyfriends now that they can't pay for the gym anymore.   But you can BET NOT ONE attorney lost much of anything, between the golden parachutes they hook each other up with and the slimy, smaller scale reemergences as 'new affiliates', they'll survive... the doc companies will fire all the trained experienced people for a while and then hire newbies off the street for 2/3 of what the old ones were paid when they reemerge.Only thing scummier than a Big Law Firm That Specializes in Bank work is your local Romney Campaign Headquarters.

Now THAT is just fucked up... not you, or that you consider it. But rather THAT YOU HAVE TO.
Sorry to hear that. Hope there's a better outcome.
