The Law Firm of David J. Stern in Plantation Fl mistakenly filed a Foreclosure in Sarasota County and for some unknown reason (to seek leverage) had included a Federal Tax Lien of another man with the same name but this man had a different Social Security Number (SSN), a different middle name and a different Date of Birth (DOB) and never lived at the address of the supposed Foreclosed property.
The Law Office of David J. Stern in their rush to foreclose then Served a Complaint on the United States of America (USA) as a co-defendant in the Foreclosure as they held the Federal Tax Lien on the”other” man.
The Law Office of David J. Stern then also served the Foreclosure Complaint papers on the US Attorney’s Office and so indicated that the subject of their Federal Tax Lien was the owner of the property in the Foreclosure Complaint, which was incorrect.
Civil Inquiry Detail
The Law Firm of David J. Stern did no research, obviously never checked the SSN on the mortgage papers of their client Deutsche Bank to see if they were Foreclosing on the right person and by adding the wrong Federal Tax Lien to the Foreclosure Complaint have forever ruined the credit of this family who must now fight off the creditors of some other person, how stupid is this Law office, very stupid, see similar case in Las Vegas.
I am no attorney nor any kind of Legal Eagle, but in my business when I start a case the first thing I do is identify my subject with correct name, DOB and SSN where he lives and has lived and any other info that pertains to the subject.

As I pointed out, I am no attorney, nor do I give anyone legal advise, but for “Pete’s Sake” this case cries out for a Counter Law Suit against the Stern Law Firm, like in the area of $5 Million Dollars.. The original Foreclosure Case that was filed in January 2009 by the Stern Law Firm on the Sarasota Fl family was dismissed on June14th, 2010, the Stern Law Firm had no standing, no case, no nuthin !
After testimony, the Jury found that Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. wrongfully foreclosed on the Plaintiff’s condo and awarded the Plaintiff $922,690 in compensatory damages and $2.5 million dollars in punitive damages. As a lawyer who regularly sues insurance companies, mortgage companies and credit card companies, I think the Jury got it right.
The Plaintiffs had temporarily moved to Tucson, Arizona for work. Countrywide sued for foreclosure, wrongfully, and sold the condo. The Plaintiffs discovered what happened in 2003. Somewhere down the line, the Plaintiff’s personal possessions were discarded and some items, including a wedding dress and family photos, may have been thrown into the trash.
How could something like this happen? Good Question. The foreclosure was supposed to happen on another condo. As a lawyer, you always wonder why this case wasn’t resolved by Countrywide prior to the trial. One can only guess as to what Countrywide was thinking. Normally, the two sides just don’t value the case in the same way. I would like to congratulate the Plaintiff’s attorney on a job well done.
Countrywide said in a statement that they are very disappointed in the result. Yea, imagine that. Now, they will probably spend a fortune appealing the juries decision, instead of doing the right thing and paying the Plaintiffs for their screw-up.
