Notary fraud carries a potential jail sentence of one year and/or a fine of up to $2,000.

Anyone who has information regarding loan modification or mortgage fraud scams should contact the Attorney General’s Office at 702-486-3132.
The Office of the Nevada Attorney General announced the guilty plea.
“The case against Lawrence was based on an investigation by the Attorney General’s mortgage fraud task force which revealed that between 2005 and 2008, tens of thousands of fraudulent documents were filed with the Clark County Recorder’s office”, said Chief Deputy Attorney General John Kelleher.
