The process of collecting and studying evidence that can give insight into legal proceedings is called forensics. There may be different forms of forensics though; the most common reference is in crime scenes and criminal investigations. Some of the other forms of forensics are forensic accounting, computer or network forensics and forensic engineering. Given below are some of the important questions about forensics that have been answered:

Will it be possible for an attorney to sue American Home Mortgage Service Inc if there is a forensic loan audit on a person's mortgage note?
In most cases, the only way for a lawyer to approach a lawsuit is a forensic loan audit. This audit may give the attorney information about the person's mortgage and closing documents. It may not be possible to sue the mortgage services if the attorney does not do a forensic audit on the loan. There may be a chance of mistakes in the closing documents that can help the person in the case. If the mortgage company does not agree for an out of court settlement, the attorney may file a lawsuit with the results of the audit.

Is it compulsory for a child to participate in a forensic interview in the state of Georgia?
It may be compulsory for a child to participate in a forensic interview in most of the situations. It may be necessary in order to enable the state to get information vital to the case from the child. The child may not be able to refuse the interview since he/she is a minor. This is because, if the child was given permission to refuse the interview, there was a possibility that he/she would do so under the pressure of his/her parents. In most cases, care is taken that the child does not get traumatized during the interview. The authorities may get involved if the child is not allowed to go to the interview by the parents.

What steps should a person take after he/she gets a forensic assessment of a mortgage violation done?
The steps that a person should take may depend on the results of the assessment. The individual may file a suit against the lender if there was a violation of the Trust in Lending Act or any other consumer protection laws. The action will be dependent on the degree of the violations. The person may hire an attorney specializing in consumer protection law to help him/her.

Do forensic mortgage audits really reduce mortgage interest rates and the money an individual owes?
In most cases, if someone charges up front for a forensic audit and claims that he/she may reduce the mortgage rates and the money owed, he/she may rarely follow up on the case. There may be a very slim chance of the people finding out anything related to the case. Instead, the individual may apply for a loan modification on his/her own.

The science of getting information vital to legal proceedings is called forensics. Many people do not know how important this field is. You may need the help of a forensic expert if you do not know how to sort issues with a bank or lender. You may ask a lawyer if you have any further questions about forensics.
