Foreclosure Defense Attorney Faces Foreclosure
The South Florida attorney who has been in the national spotlight for using lenders’ sloppy paperwork to stop them from foreclosing on thousands of homes is in foreclosure himself.

Peter Ticktin and his wife haven’t paid anything on their mortgage since December 2006, but continue to live in the 3,920-square-foot Boca Raton home.

Deutsche Bank dropped its foreclosure action in February after the Ticktins’ attorney said they couldn’t respond to the foreclosure notices because the bank hadn’t produced paperwork proving it had the right to foreclose.

Ticktin declared bankruptcy five years ago. "I've learned firsthand what the bad economy is all about," he said.
