Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, whose office is investigating foreclosure practices in his state, released three more sworn statements from former employees at law firms detailing alleged improprieties in the way foreclosure cases were being handled.
Attorneys at the Law Office of Marshall Watson allegedly signed affidavits without the notary present, according to Jessica Cabrera, a lawyer there from December 2007 to July of 2010. Attorneys at the firm would allegedly sign the documents and send stacks to notaries afterward.
This process changed eight months ago, according Cabrera, when the firm realized there was a problem and employed roughly 50 notaries to work in-house.

Holly Skolnick, the attorney representing Watson, said they are cooperating fully with the investigation.
