I think my Real Estate and Mortgage agent forged my signatures, what can I do?

Question : I was recently in the middle of a short sale that I entered to sell my property which at the time I felt I had no other choice but to take that route. However, a week before the sale was completed, I was able to come up with the money to pay off my 2^nd lien and in a position to modify my first loan. After a clear request to both the lawyer and Real Estate agent not to sell the property (which I have proof of in my email log), the sale went through as I discovered they both forged my signatures on the paperwork. Can I file a lawsuit and what steps do I need to take?

Response by Pratul Lakhotia: Mortgage & Real Estate fraud cases are highly document evidence sensitive. Thus, the first thing you should immediately do is gather all the paperwork as evidence. Next, consult your case with a certified attorney who can help represent in proving your statements are absolutely correct. If the defendants become convicted, you would be compensated back for the damages that have incurred as a result.
