G. Allen Dale secures probationary sentence for participant in conspiracy to commit bank fraud. Mr. Dale's client, a real estate agent, was indicted, along with a number of others in a conspiracy to commit bank fraud relating to mortgage fraud that involved scores of properties being subject to foreclosure and losses in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Dale's client was facing 30 to 37 months in prison under federal guidelines, but avoided jail thanks to arguments made by Dale.
