  • It is great to see that there is still honest people in this world, who will go above and beyond to do what is just.There are too many hard working innocent people who fall victim to people like Steven J. Baum. Martin Luther king Jr. once said "We will have to repent in this generation, not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people." Susan Chana Lask is a good person, because she didn't remain silent! Keep up the good work!!!

  • @susane122209 Thank You so much. I could not remain silent when I discovered Baum's wrongdoing. I worked for my license as an attorney exactly to fight for justice and humanity. Over 23 years ago I changed one person's life, then another, then thousands and so many more. I hope to inspire people that if I,as one woman, can do so much with my cases-Ambien,Civil Rights, Foreclosure Mills & Puppy Mills, then we can all do more together to be the best United States again.

  • So many scams recently, good on you for uncovering some of them.

  • I I see that Ms. Lask has been supportive of MD Rep. Elijah Cummings who is also standing against these horrific matters. I read your article about finding an atty like myself and Ms. Lask you are the lady for this job. This I see your heart is truly for the people and you are not like most attys here who are looking out for themselves more than their client. You have even given me the hope that I can win my case. God Bless You!!

  • @LaskTV Received today 12-19-11 from Judy:

    I just wanted to congratulate you for what you uncovred about the ruthless Foreclosure Mill Stephen J Baums Office. They served my 12 year old son with a foreclosure summons in 2010.  They were heartless and ruthless people. But I just commend you on your work it is awesome, you made my day. The Halloween Party photos were absolutely sick!!!!

  • Received 12-19-11 from Rosemarie

    Sue-want to wish you a Happy Holiday and Thank-you for giving me some peace within my heart!The holidays always bring a lot of emotions to surface.With that comes thoughts of you-someone who understood my thoughts and had my back. Your fight for me gave me some peace considering the business loss,house going,and most of all the horror of my mothers death -Enjoy the holidays knowing all the help and peace you have given others.

  • Good job.

    You are a brave woman.

  • I think Date-Line or 20/20 brushed across this about 6 months ago when a fraud investigator trainer for the FBI was being foreclosed on and she brought paper work to court showing the fraud and they went it to detail what a company like Pillar does, which pillar just collapsed, this is like watching a house of cards fall.

  • @LaskTV following recieved today:

    Susan-

    we've never talked, we've never met. i just wanted to thank you for standing up to Baum and his tactics-its good to know there are great attorneys like you who get it when the big fat cats try to screw the hard working people. i wish you continued success in all your endeavors! keep on fighting the fight!

  • In NY foreclosure fees are closer to a minimum of $3k & the fraudulent documents go far beyond just the assignments.Baum's office (and others like it) also violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by misstating the amount due by a borrower & as a result, also the Fair Credit Report Act when the amount of the debt is issued in a judgment on a borrower's credit report. These types of violations result in CASH damages payable to the borrower. I'd love to see these included in your CA suit.

  • What about Reverse Mortgage foreclosures? Mom was under an Adult Service Protection case when MERs got her...truly an Carry Grant "Aresnic & Old Lace" type movie...87 1/2 yr. on Aircept medicine & robo-signer everywhere...Orignal note

    from New York/Vertical Lend Inc. 2007 do you have a class action for 871/2 yr old? Mom passed & as heir I am posting. Call a Note or Call an Angel..

    I think you are one of those Angels!!!

  • @CherylJonesLatimer Hi Cheryl--I'm not doing reverse mortgage issues. I'm sorry about your story, and I thank you for calling me an angel. I feel like I earned my wings.

    I feel so bad for the people who lost their way like Baum, or even a few people I knew personally over the years who went to the dark side for greed, money or because they are lost souls....I hope I inspired you in some way with the work I've done over the years against Ambien, for Civil Rights and against Baum. Take care.

  • Susan,

    Read about you fighting Steven Baum and their awful Halloween party. This is just too much!

    Must keep the faith and keep up the fight. Patsy

  • I just heard. The Baum firm is done for. Closed. Dead. Good work. Hood work to everyone that helped bring them down.

  • Thank you, Susan, for having the courage to take on these giants. Cheers !!

  • @lASKtv i POSTED SOME OF THE RECENT EMAILS I received the last few weeks out of some almost 1,000 citizens thanking me for advocating and fighting for the public interest- against Baum and winning. I always will put my integrity and license to practice law to fight the good fight and bring peace and justice to as many people as I can. So Thank you everyone for your blessings to me...I can always use a few, but the thousands are worth everything to me!!! Susan Chana Lask

  • Susan, I admire your work with foreclosure defense. Thanks. Gail

  • Saw your video concerning S. Baum and the Attorney General of NYS. God Bless you and your work! Barbara

  • Your actions are wonderful. Robert

  • I saw those horrid pictures at Baum's party. Absolutely deplorable. Know that others are most grateful for your taking on their plight. It's not going unnoticed. Best of luck! Eric

  • I wrkd for A&J PROCESS SERVICES in Westbury NY about a yr ago and was terminated for sumthing that I was trained to do sincr i had started. Little did i kno that it was illegal and when i hit the fan mum was the word!! I am content with the covers being pulled off Mr.Baum and hope that he pays for all the misfortune he had given to them!!! Good luck with bringing this guy down, he really deserves it!

  • Thank you for being one of the good people. I’m Canadian, but my family and I spend a lot of time in Florida. We know people who have been foreclosed on and it’s ruined their lives. Decent, hard-working people who have been defrauded. When I heard what happened to this horrific firm today after seeing their pictures for that grotesque costume party they had, I was so happy. Sweet, sweet poetic justice. And REAL justice, thanks to you.

  • Dear Ms. Lask: I saw an article in the NY Times on 10/28/11 entitled "What The Costumes Reveal". The Baum law firm had a Halloween party where the employees dressed up as homeowners who lost their homes in foreclosure. One photo was a coffin with your picture on it and your eyes were cut out. A sign on the coffin "Rest In Peace Crazy Suzie". It was mocking you and the rest of decent society. I hope you do something about this disgraceful and appalling display. Diane

  • RIP SHADY BAUMIES!

  • @eldo500 Karma's a bitch--I do have this incredible dream that Baum will donate millions of dollars to soup kitchens and shelters as some sort of way to redeem himself and jusr help the world because his BS apologies are truly BS. MR. BAUM--PLEASE DONATE MONEY AND HELP THE POOR ,PEOPLE YOU PUT ON THE STREET--DO IT FOR YOURSELF BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO LAWYER HELL, AND YOU'LL NEVER RIP. PS--IM STILL NOT DEAD YET --YOU RIP NOW!

  • FROM RAJEN TO SUSAN CHANA LASK

    I am so proud of you... what we need are more women like you to take these punks on with skill, and effective use of the law... Thanks so much for changing the world we all are trying to live in..I wish u all the best and I hope to meet you and give you a big Caribbean Hug of gratitude -Rajen

  • Thanks for getting him! Selena

  • Dear Ms Lask,

    I am an ardent fan. ...and will help you any way I can. ... May G-d be with you. We are so proud of you. LYNNE

  • Dear Susan Chana Lask,

    I'm a big fan of yours and have been following you on various websites regarding foreclosures, and admire the work you do. I'm glad your on our side, defending the lil guy against these big bully banks. Thank you, Savio

  • Hello, I come to you knowing that are an advocate on the side of hurting homeowners and you are very well respected in the industry. Val

  • Hi Susan, Awesome video! Roberta

  • May the Holy Trinity Bless you and protect you, and thank you for helping so many People.

    Sincerely, V. Smith

  • Awesome video on Steven Baum et. al. Keep up the great work. Sincerely,Michael

  • Read the NYT piece on Steven Baum and watched your YouTube video. Keep up the great work, Susan. Pardon my language, but I hope you bury that soulless piece of shit. Best, Parsa

  • dude, shes kinda hot.

  • @mrzero1982 LOL! That was last year--I got hotter since I beat Baum.

  • Baum has gone Bust

  • I never bought a home, or was looking to. But I thank what your doing I saw the pictures of there halloween party. TOTALLY so wrong. This is like a late Infomercial operating in the light of day. Its basic if you dont have the money when you go into a corner store u dont get the item.

    I know some people think most people are good, i always think anyone selling most are the opposite. But this is just wrong wrong wrong in so many ways. Like they really wanted to help all these people.

    Love U!

  • They'll reap what they sow. We need more people like this in this country, and send the morons to jail for treason.

  • @23rdchild Thank you for your support. I want get rid of the bad attorneys. By law attorneys are suppossed to do that, yet they won't because they're playing the game. If they would report the bad ones, the court system would work properly & judge's wouldn't be misled by lying lawyers. Last thing, people who get exposed for frauds & lies don't like it,so Baum put me in a coffin, another lawyer recently publicly called me names like a 2 year old-how much more embarassing can lawyers be?

  • This video was made over a year ago. What's the current situation with this legal action?

  • @bek12 the video's purpose was to make to take a complicated issue of robo signing and mortgage fraud easy to undertsand for the public AND most important, as it states at the end, it tells the public where to call to complaint. ainly, I wanted to get the Attorney general's attention--I did better; it got the US Dept. of Judtice and the NY AG. The cirrent situation is Baum was fined $2Mill by the Dept of Justice and ordered to change his practice & the AG is still throughly investigating him.

  • @LaskTV Well nice job. This country is seriously out of wack, and not enough people understand or will accept it. Hopefully you have raised awareness. Did you hear about the costume party where said said "RIP", referring to you? I hate those guys.

  • God, I hate corporate dishonesty, even though I am surrounded by it.

  • Paul says: These people need to be held accountable and God bless lawyers like yourself who are fighting the good fight.

    Good luck

  • God bless you.

  • How dare you come to Florida preaching all your "law" and "ethics" and "investigations", giving people false hope by alerting them to a former Florida Attorney General Investigation.....Florida courts and especially Florida's new Attorney General have ZERO interest in pursuing the claims you raise....actually keep up the fight and best of luck, but for us down here in hell, it's a hopeless effort.

  • @weidnerlaw Very funny Matt--Look, I can't help what's going on in Fla, but you can. Just copy what I did and keep the pace. tTere is no such thing a ZERO--you can make anything happen. Put your mind to it and you can fix the Fla issues. By the way, lets run for office--but I'm president and you're vice presdient--what do you say?

  • guillotine

    

  • @marniespeaks You have a point--French Queen Marie Antoinette belitted the citizens to the point they rose up against her, convicted her of treason, and executed her by guillotine on October 16, 1793. My God, look what Bam and his freaky crew of homewreckers have turned people to. Hopefully, the attorney general will do the right thing against Baum 's ferak show, but I don't know about the guillotine part..

  • Read the NYTimes piece and linked to this video. Very exciting to see someone willing to go after scum like Stephen Baum. Great Work!

  • @MysteryofIniquity11 Again, a big Thank You to everyone who has recognized my work to bring integrity back to the legal system and keep the bad attorneys out. There have been hundreds of these praises...so many I can't keep up with them, but they make me proud. Thank you!

  • You are a rarity, a lawyer I actually LIKE. The Baum Halloween party photos really pissed me off. But what will they get for screwing all these homeowners? A fine they can easily afford and a slap on the wrist? If corporations are "people" than these "people" should serve some hard time!.

  • Keep up the good work, Susan. I was absolutely nauseated when I heard about that Halloween party. How can people be so evil to each other?

  • THANK YOU, SUSAN!!

    You are doing honorable work and will find great support across the country- you are beginning to see it now.

    You are an asset and a compliment to your profession, Susan.

    BAUM. WILL. FALL. David vs. Goliath, baby! Hang in there- we need you!!

  • Nice job, I wonder how many of these exsist in California, thanks for being on the consumers side

  • @LaskTV is that you in the video? I hope you take these skanks DOWN. After seeing the photos of their little annual "get together", it is my opinion that management and staff of Baum give white trash a bad name.

  • The banks don't want to write down mortgages because that would require them to admit that their assets are less than they claim. Before the crash they paid appraisers to inflate the bubble with puffed home values, now they won't acknowledge reality and take a haircut. Banks lie!

  • I saw those horrid pictures at Baum's party. Absolutely deplorable.

    Know that others are most grateful for your taking on their plight. It's not going unnoticed.

    Best of luck!

    Eric

  • Read the NYT piece on Steven Baum and watched your YouTube video. Keep up the great work, Susan. Pardon my language, but I hope you bury that soulless piece of shit!

    Best,

    Parsa Fattahi, Esq.

  • What a wonderful woman, thank you for fighting for the victims of this foul practice. We believe in you!!!

  • @dispozilla Thank you for your kind words. These praises make me proud to do what I am doing in helping people...at least making a change in one person's life would be a dream; I have been fortunate to be able to help tens of thousands of people in m y22 year career in my pro bono 2006 Ambien Case and the 2011 Supreme Court Strip Search case. I have only one wish--which is in my life time the differences I made will be remembered by the people, their families and their children that I helped.

  • Yes!shut that son of a bitch down! The nation knows and we are watching, this guy is going to burn!

  • FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT.

  • Baum will fall. 

  • Awesome work, this is the real grassroots occupy wall st action!!

    Articulate the fraud, unravel it, and litigate!

  • Thank you Susan!!!!

    (Karma's a bitch)

  • @moergreen yes, Karma's a bitch...and so am i after seeing this disgusting Baum Hollaween pics mocking america and putting an attorney in a coffin and ripping my eyes out. DO NOT THINK BAUM DID NOT KNOW OF THIS--NOT ONLY WAS IT HIS OFFICE PARTY, BUT I HAVE DOCUMENTS PROVING TWO WEEKS BEFORE HE INCITED HIS EMPLOYEES INTO THIS SICKENING CONDUCT THAT I AM TURNING OVER TO TO THE AUTHORITIES THIS WEEK. I guess Baum's going to have to really kill me now--but I'm ready to meet him and shut him down.

  • I don't know how anyone can dislike this video unless they were one of these fraudsters themselves :(

  • Susan, I admire your work and would like to know if you can recommend an attorney in Portland, Oregon who helps with foreclosure defense. Thanks. Gail

  • Barbara S. Saw your video concerning S. Baum and the Attorney General of NYS. Thanks for your time; as a Notary Public I have closed over 700 loans and Baum sued me on a Saugerties house. I fought him myself in court and sold the house before he got to foreclose. He requested the Court go to full sale rights upon his first filing! 60 days behind on my mortgage; that was nuts IMHO! God Bless you and your work!

  • ahaha, this video is going to go viral now that NY times linked to it. keep up the great work.

  • Thank you for standing up for people who have been taken advantage of! Baum sounds like he may be a sociopath.

  • 1-They need to investigate all foreclosure firms starting with the ones making the most money. Those are the ones likely to be defrauding the homeowners. 2-The attorneys general need to prosecute to the fullest extent and follow the money trail to see if any of the banks are complicit in these frauds and jail their people also. 3-Any bank doing business with these firms should fire them immediately simply for their disgusting attitude towards poor unfortunates who are losing their homes.

  • Susan, thank you for what you're doing.

  • You are awesome.

  • I'm glad that you're on the right side of history and of people who have integrity.

  • Thank you very much. They might wish you were dead- I searched right after to see if you'd died and they were even *that* much lower than they are- but they're going to run out of time they now enjoy getting whatever they want. I want them to dress like this every day, and not as a costume. Thank you for doing your part.

  • @julyraeofsunshine Nope, not dead yet--I'm more alive than I ever was, and ready to meet those foreclosure mill Baum monsters mocking the United States, the courts and lawyers. Oh yeah, and they put me in a coffin and ripped my eyes out... I invite those low lifes to meet me face to face without their disgusting holloween makeup as homeless people they ruined lives of so I can rip a few things out of them--that's the only thing I'm dying forright now.

  • @LaskTV

    Hey just catching up with you via Neil Garfield. I was an AAG and also a licensed title insurance prodcuer.... Keep on Keeping on. I'm in NY all the time will have to have lunch whenever you come up for air. Good to see attys recognizing the power of video. Enjoy these vids:

    Phelan Hallinan Schmieg ethics breach: They called cops on media & homeowner, lied about it.

    For Scott Olsen: Occupy Wall Street, Boston, Oakland and the World!

  • any chance you can look at GMAC

  • Money is this man's god. He is pure evil. I will pray for him...

  • @pur3carnageCuh Unfortunately, he's beyond prayers. Pray there's an Island far away for him we can send him to like they used to do with lepers...this way we don't have to deal with his disgusting foreclosure millhalloween party pictures mocking the good citizens of the United States.

    I'm so glad he thought I was a "thorn in his side"--that means iIwas doing my job and he couldn't- do his-which my settlement proves.

  • Thank you! LSI is a division of LPS in Calif. doing the same foreclosure mill processing.

  • Joe Nocera just exposed a halloween party at Steven J Baum's foreclosure mill, where employees mocked citizens who lose their homes to shysters like Baum.

  • I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!! THANK YOU

  • @LIFEGUARD805 THANK YOU for recognizing what I did and am doing. As for Baum's demonic party and putting me in a coffin and cutting my eyes out, he's a low life and I'M NOT DEAD YET, so IM COMING AFTER Baum NOW TEN TIMES HARDER THAN I DID WHEN I SUCESSFULLY SETTLED MY FEDERAL CASE AGAINST him. He's not a man--he's a monster. I wonder if he put shis wife's picture in a coffin too because she divorced him this year, or does he throw darts at AG Eric Schneiderman's picture? Baums' a loser.

  • @LaskTV Bravo! Keep up the good work! Get rid of this guy!

  • Great info and a new day for people in foreclosure and feeling helpless to the banksters. BTW please check your settings LaskTV so your videos will appear with video as opposed to just link. Thank you for your efforts. Best Regards.

  • All the policy makers at all major banks, the foreclosure mill attorneys, and the politicians who support them should be jailed for life. These lousy scum bags have caused some suicides in my area (and I'm sure everywhere else as well), particular among elderly homeowners. They jerk homeowners around until they become distraught and feel like there is no way out. Damn these people. It is time that we take them not just down, but out.

  • there was an article in the new york times today about a halloween party at steven j. baum where employees dressed up as people whose homes were foreclosed upon in order to mock them. i can't post the link here but the article is entitled "what the costumes reveal" by joe nocera

  • Susan, You are a real life hero of great courage. You are using your professional knowledge and skills, persistence, and determination to assist the victims of this organized systemic fraud. Thank you for all that you are doing.

  • @Finn1Flintlock Thank you so much for recognizing what I'm doing and have been doing for over 22 years. I hope I make some good changes in this world not just for me, but for everyone. Susan Chana Lask

  • Wisconsin is not acting in accordance to any of these claim. We have a foreclosure mill that just foreclosed on my home today, because I was 15 min. late due to detours. The documents entered were fraudulent, and I did not have a chance to defend my case, to request a motion to compel, due to the foreclosure mill ignoring my request to produce two months prior, and I was unable to present my affidavit to the motion to compel. Where is the Justice? WI does not feel fraud is an issue.

  • Oh poor, poor, 200 million a year, Steven Baum gets his feelings hurt. Toughen up. It's going to get worse.

    Too bad. Absolutely hilarious.

  • How about giving damages to the property owners who were treated and abused terribly? A loan modification is not enough.

  • Bravo

  • What about MERS? You go Girl ;-)

  • can you recommended anyone in CA, we are behind the times for peoples view points

  • How do I get on board. My foreclose happened in Wisconsin. I have my court transcripts that prove rush to judgment, bank attorney not producing the not (and believe me, I asked). I stood my ground and made 'em take my castle by force. I was charged with 'obstructing and resisting' but the charges were dropped by the D.A. because this would have given me a jury trial. I'm sure the judge had the D.A. drop the charges because the last thing he wanted was me in front of jury. HELP!!! Or refer me...

  • What about BOA? Their next

  • SUSAN,

    THANK YOU!!

    NY ATTORNEY GENERAL MUST DO WHAT IS RIGHT TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE AND INVESTIGATE STEVEN J. BAUM!!
