MBS Mortgage Expert Witnesses
Litigation concerning mortgage-backed securities (MBS) is heating up in 2012, as the courts are denying many of the defendants’ motions to dismiss. This is leading to a long and involved discovery process, as both sides will have to examine the mortgage loans underlying the securitizations in great detail.
Typically, the complains in these lawsuits allege:
- The mortgage loan originator did not follow its underwriting guidelines or industry standards
- Appraisals were artificially increased and did not follow industry appraisal standards, resulting in incorrect loan-to-value percentages.
- During securitization, the due diligence process of reviewing mortgages for inclusion in the MBS was flawed or ignored.
- Mortgage terms were modified by servicing organizations and these new terms were not in the best interests of the investors of the MBS.
In order to represent your client effectively, it is critical to select experienced and highly-qualified MBS litigation experts. These experts must have the extensive mortgage underwriting experience to effectively assess the credit decisions made for each mortgage loan in the MBS, as well as determine whether the loan met the underwriting guidelines disclosed in the securitization documents.
This mortgage underwriting expertise takes years to develop and cannot be taught easily or quickly to inexperienced analysts. Navigating through hundreds of pages of mortgage loan documents and determining the issues involved with the mortgages cannot be done by just anyone.
You need an experienced underwriter. There are no shortcuts to developing mortgage underwriting expertise.
2004-2008 was an unprecedented time in mortgage lending, with many different product types and programs being offered to borrowers. While mortgage originators had detailed guidelines, exceptions were often allowed based on a multitude of compensating factors. Without experience with industry-accepted exceptions and compensating factors of that time period, it would be extremely difficult to examine and understand these loans.
Many potential MBS litigation experts were involved in the original underwriting or the due diligence review of the mortgage loans in the MBS. Because many of these allegations suggest fraud or misrepresentation, selecting an MBS expert with a deep understanding of mortgage fraud is vital.

An expert witness can make or break your case. Even if your case isn’t going to trial, a credible expert witness can be the key to settling in your client’s favor. Your brilliant theory about how an accident happened holds no water if you can’t back it up with the support of an accident reconstruction expert. Your client’s claim regarding injuries suffered have little validity without confirmation from a medical expert witness.
Good attorneys understand that theories mean nothing without the facts to support them. These facts come from credible, believable expert witnesses.
The wrong expert witness can destroy even the most solid of cases. If your expert weakens against cross examination, has a blemish in his past that can be used against him, or simply doesn’t have enough experience in his area of expertise, not only has the expert lost his credibility, but you’ve lost yours, too.

Impact Severity Analysis
Saponaro, Inc., can provide a cost-effective, physics-based Impact Severity Analysis to evaluate the strength, and increase the value, of your MVA cases.
The results of our Impact Severity Analysis service will provide clarification of the extent of impact, and injury, caused to your client in the collision. This information provides a tool to confidently determine the value of your case.
Low Speed Accidents
We provide a fixed-price, physics-based document review, which should include:
- Police Reports
- Published Vehicle Specifications
- Photographs
- Collision and Repair Estimates
- Statements of Involved Parties
An engineering specialist will analyze the damage shown in the photographs and detailed in the collision and repair estimate and compare this with the published vehicle strength shown in the specifications. This will determine range of speed on impact of the striking vehicle and the changes in velocity of the impacted vehicle, with a series of calculations.
After a range of speeds for the striking vehicle and the resultant change in velocity for the impacted vehicle have been calculated, we will determine the resultant acceleration experienced by the claimant.
Anatomical torques, forces and accelerations are calculated and compared with everyday life events and published human physiological tolerance levels for head, neck and torso injury.
The above findings will be conveyed verbally and a written report will be provided if requested.
We also provide full service investigations including IME experts, Automotive engineering, Biomechanical engineering and Accident reconstructionist to assist in the pursuit of your motor vehicle accident case.
Additional services offered:
- Background Checks, including Asset Checks
