In legal news out of Denver, Colorado, two women identified as Linda Edwards and the other as Ladonna Mullins were convicted of a mortgage fraud scheme, the charges included wire fraud, falsely using Social Security numbers, criminal forfeiture and false statements to a financial institution. Mullins age 73 was a real estate agent under the name LaDonna’s Realty and Management located in Denver. Edwards was a real estate agent working at Affable Realty in Denver. Somebody needs a lawyer here I think….The federal trial that included a jury took 14 days in the case where evidence was shown that both Edwards and Mullin helped potential homebuyers that would not lawfully qualify for mortgages that were insured by the Federal Housing Administration. By the way if you live in Colorado and need an expert Denver personal injury lawyer or perhaps you need
