Rachel Dollar to Chair Lanahan & Reilley Mortgage Banking Group
Prominent Attorney will Lead Expansion of Practice
Mortgage fraud attorney Rachel Dollar has joined the law firm of Lanahan & Reilley LLP as a partner to chair their Mortgage Banking Group.
Ms. Dollar is a Certified Mortgage Banker and a recognized expert in mortgage banking. Her rapid rise to prominence in the mortgage industry is a result of her tireless advocacy for heightened fraud awareness. This passion led to the development of Mortgage Fraud Blog (http://www.mortgagefraudblog.com), the first public access website providing national mortgage fraud news. In 2005, Ms. Dollar was recognized as one of top 100 most influential people in real estate. She is scheduled to present on the topic of mortgage fraud at the OTS National Housing Forum, December 11, 2006, Washington DC
“Combining my mortgage banking clientele with the existing practice at Lanahan & Reilley will create one of the largest mortgage fraud practices in the US,” said Ms. Dollar. “We will continue to offer aggressive and cost-effective fraud solutions to lenders across the nation as we expand into full service mortgage banking representation.”
Representing some of the country’s most prominent mortgage lenders and investors nationwide, Ms. Dollar has extensive experience in mortgage fraud, RICO, commercial contract, servicing and secured creditor’s rights cases. She acts in a consultative role on policy and procedure for mortgage lenders, advises licensing and criminal agencies nationwide and is regularly quoted by the press in mortgage fraud articles.
“We are extremely fortunate to have Rachel lead our continued growth in the residential mortgage lending industry,” said founding partner Daniel Lanahan. “Her success is directly attributable to her dedication to the industry and her clients.”
Under Ms. Dollar’s leadership, Lanahan & Reilley will continue to provide aggressive representation in mortgage fraud, lender liability and servicing matters and assist with regulatory compliance, documentation, best practices, licensing, default servicing and securitizations.
Ms. Dollar was recently elected President of the Sonoma County Bar Association and will begin her term in January.

Ms. Dollar,
How do you go about stopping a someone that pretends he is a crusader for stopping fraud when he is a fraud himself and we lost our home because of him in Michigan. He scammed us out of our house and we were not smart enough to know until we were eveicted.
Then he threatened to sue us if we talked to anyone and he has everyone thinking he is a good guy while flipping homes. Even right now we are scared to expose us, because he will sue us, but we foundanother couple he did this to also.
