Someone impersonated me and sold my property HELP! Looking for Attorney

Justin Packee
Posted

Looking for an attorney in Florida to help me get my property back. Long story short i just found out a piece of land that own in Florida got posted on the MLS and was sold with out my permission. I called the listing the agent that posted and ask how could this even happen, she said the person had all the correct information including an ID and bank information. I'm trying to get all the emails, text, and documentation from the listing agent that they have from the impersonator but, they're not cooperating with me. Can anyone recommend an Attorney in Florida that deals with Real Estate Fraud. Has this happened to anyone else?

 You don't mention where in the Florida the property is located but I would contact Marty Awerbach or his partner Michael Cohn.  I've hired their firm on many occasions to handle real estate title matters including fraud.  They're also hired by all the major underwriters and may already be aware of your situation.
