MFI-Miami Founder Steve Dibert began helping Mary Eveleigh of Charlevoix, Michigan prior to starting MFI-Miami in 2006.
Mary was a victim of a “straw deal” foreclosure rescue scam. Steve and Mary fought for six years to prove she was a victim of mortgage fraud by the shady investor. Mary was finally victorious in 2012.

A 50% principal write down on the second property and the nullification of the mortgage on the third property.
MFI-Miami was able to prove both Bank of America and Fannie Mae lacked standing to evict Robin Roberts from her Michigan home in 2012.
Orlans Associates failed to record an assignment or a deed from Fannie Mae to Bank of America.
Consequently, Orlans Associates then proceeded to illegally evict Roberts as if nothing had happened. MFI-Miami and her attorney stopped the eviction.
