Two lawyers at the Florida Attorney General’s Office left their government posts this year to take jobs at firms still under investigation by the agency.
Both firms are central players in a high profile, yearlong investigation into how Florida attorneys and paperwork processing companies generated documents that banks need to foreclose.
Joe Jacquot, a former deputy attorney general, left his position in May to become a senior vice president at Lender Processing Services, one of several companies the state has accused of manufacturing bogus legal documents so banks could seize homes from their owners.
Erin Cullaro, a former assistant attorney general, was hired by Shapiro and Fishman, another foreclosure law firm under investigation. She said she stopped working there after a week.
Cullaro had previously been fired by the attorney general’s office in April for moonlighting as a document preparer with one of the state’s so-called “foreclosure mills.”
