Affidavit on eDiscovery Approach for Hamp Litigation
When Celerity’s law firm client sued a large bank on behalf of homeowners for violating federal mortgage regulations, it requested data and documents related to the Home Affordable Modification Program. The defendant objected, claiming that the burden and expense of the proposed discovery outweighed its benefit. Our client believed that the bank inflated the cost of the plaintiffs’ request but required a better understanding of industry standards to make the counterargument.
