James Brody Esq

With over two decades of dedicated service in the mortgage banking legal sphere, I spearhead complex litigation and regulatory compliance matters nationwide, serving a broad spectrum of clients including independent mortgage banks, credit unions, depositories, and mortgage brokers. My role at Garris Horn LLP extends beyond litigation to encompass comprehensive mitigation strategies, ensuring our clients navigate the intricate landscape of mortgage banking with confidence and legal precision. My journey in this sector has been marked by the successful resolution of numerous high-stakes cases involving mortgage fraud, repurchase disputes, and regulatory compliance intricacies. My experience also encompasses sensitive areas such as non-compete clauses, trade secrets, and corporate transactions like mergers and acquisitions. This extensive experience has not only benefitted our diverse clientele but has also contributed significantly to the growth and reputation of Garris Horn LLP. I have served as lead counsel in prominent cases involving major entities such as CitiMortgage, ResCap, Franklin American, Chase, EMC, FDIC, Lehman Brothers, among others. My legal acumen is recognized nationwide, with admissions to practice in various states and all federal district courts in California, often on a pro hac vice basis. Beyond the courtroom, I am a recognized voice in the industry, frequently making media appearances and conducting industry presentations. My focus in these engagements is on educating stakeholders about preventing, detecting, and resolving mortgage fraud and repurchase issues, and adapting to the ever-evolving regulatory environment to maintain compliance. Please be aware that while our firm celebrates our past successes and client testimonials, these should not be seen as a guarantee of future results. Each legal matter is unique, and we are committed to providing personalized, effective solutions tailored to the specific needs of each case we undertake.
