Grais & Ellsworth LLP, a New York litigation firm that represents investors in asset-backed securities, announced today a briefing for investors in securitizations of loans originated by Countrywide Financial Corporation (now a subsidiary of Bank of America). Countrywide has reached an agreement in principle with the attorneys general of California, Illinois, and nine other states to settle predatory-lending charges against it by modifying the mortgage loans of approximately 400,000 borrowers at an expected cost of $8.4 billion.
