Report Profiles Fla. Foreclosure Defense Attorney Readying To Argue Case That May Decide Fate Of 1000s Of Suits Involving Robosigners, Phony Documents

In Palm Beach County, Florida, the Daily Business Review reports:

• As a relative novice in the legal profession, Ice Legal senior associate Enrique Nieves III is prepping for his biggest case and his first appearance before the Florida Supreme Court. At 31, Nieves is assigned to argue a case that may decide the fate of thousands of mortgage foreclosures similar to his case, Roman Pino v. Bank of New York Mellon.



• The question before the court seems straightforward: Can banks escape fraud claims in foreclosures by simply dropping their case?



• But the ramifications are potentially severe, and with its decision the state's high court will likely decide what consequences lenders will face for the robo-signing scandal and allegedly fraudulent assignment-of-mortgage documents that has affected thousands of cases.
