Bricker expands its Consumer Financial Services practice with addition of David Stein

COLUMBUS, Aug. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Bricker & Eckler LLP recently welcomed David Stein, an attorney with decades of experience in the mortgage banking industry, to serve clients as part of the firm's Consumer Financial Services group.

Stein joins the firm as Of Counsel from PMAC Lending Services, Inc. where he served as SVP/General Counsel of the national lender and servicer. Prior to that, he served as senior vice president and general counsel for Residential Finance Corporation, an independent national mortgage lender. Stein is a member of the firm's Consumer Financial Services and Litigation practice groups.

"The addition of David Stein enhances our already strong Consumer Financial Services practice," said Managing Partner Kurt Tunnell. "He brings a wealth of business, legal and compliance expertise from 25 years in the mortgage sector." 

"David's experience serving as in-house counsel for two mortgage lenders will make him invaluable for our clients," added Anthony Sharett, partner and chair of the Consumer Financial Services group. "David has established himself as a national thought leader on social media, marketing compliance, data breach and security and loan originator employment compliance for the industry." 

"Bricker & Eckler has built a practice focused on the unique needs of the financial services industry, and I'm excited to be a part of it," said Stein. "I am a problem solver and understand the tricky issues that regulated institutions are faced with every day. Legal counsel must be able to serve their clients by understanding what they face. I have been in the client's shoes, and I understand that they need clear counsel and direction in order to meet the ever-increasing burden of regulations. I am looking forward to helping more institutions succeed." David will be a contributor to www.FinancialServicesLaw.com, the firm's nationally recognized blog reporting on legal news and developments impacting the financial services industry.
