A civil complaint brought by the United States against 13 attorneys in New York for violating the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) has been settled, the Department announced yesterday. The case was filed in Federal Court in the Eastern District of New York, and alleged that the lawyers improperly referred their clients to title companies they formed, earning payments based solely on the volume of business referred.
In a Thursday announcement, John C. Weicher, HUD Assistant Secretary for Housing, said: "We hope today's action will send a clear message to those who provide settlement services to consumers - basing your compensation exclusively on the volume of business referred violates RESPA."
As principle shareholders, the attorneys received referral fees from the title company that they established. As part of the agreement, the title company was required to file amended tax returns for the past three years.
Weicher also praised federal teamwork in the case as "…an example of the excellent cooperation among HUD, the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Internal Revenue Service in enforcing federal law and protecting the rights of consumers."
First passed in 1974, RESPA prohibits certain practices that may artificially increase the cost of settlement services for consumers, thereby inflating the cost of buying or refinancing a home. For example, Section 8 of RESPA prohibits a person from giving or accepting any thing of value for referrals of settlement service business related to a federally related mortgage loan. It also prohibits a person from giving or accepting any part of a charge for services that are not performed.
Brian Bass, S. Charles Buschemi, Michael M. Capasso, Thomas A. Capasso, Ronald Davies, Ronald Farr, Michael Grundfast, Irwin Izen, William J. Porter, Eric Sackstein, Barry Segal, Gary Smith and Alan Wolinsky established Covenant Abstract Company, Inc. and two affiliated title companies - Citation Abstract Company and Titlewaves Abstract.
The attorneys agreed to pay $200,000 for settlement of the RESPA allegations and to divest themselves of any interest in a title company for three years.
Based on HUD's Homebuyer Bill of Rights, Secretary Mel Martinez last year proposed a sweeping reform of RESPA's regulatory requirements in an effort to greatly simplify and clarify the homebuying process for consumers.

Didn't We think that Judges were supposed to be held to a higher standard?
Wouldn't one think that A Judge who committs such White Collar Crime would at least have been disbarred for such devious behavior unbecoming an Officer of The Court, And worse being a Judge!!!
Isn't It just a Little Scary to know That a man making legal rulings in regard to the law has no real moral regard for the Law!
Isn't it really frightening to know that THIS IS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE and no one in an authoritative position has taken action to remove this man's POWER!
One Wonders Did he get a Spanking and sent to the corner to think about what a bad little boy he was??!!
THIS IS DISGUSTING AND YOU SHOULD BE SCARED THAT THIS MAN IS ALLOWED TO PRACTICE LAW BOTH AS AN ATTORNEY AND A JUDGE.
A Man with no regard for laws has no business in a Court Room ecept for being a defendant!
=========================================================
BEWARE OF THE WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING!
WHITE COLLAR CRIME IS EVERYWHERE YOU JUST HAVE TO OPEN YOUR EYES AND YOUR MIND TO SEE IT!
