The historic National Mortgage Settlement, aggressive drug enforcement actions and Arizona's

2012 in the Arizona Attorney General's Office (AGO).

Attorney General Tom Horne continued to pursue a robust agenda in FY 2012, and among the
accomplishments was the prominent role played by the Arizona Attorney General's Office in the
National Mortgage Settlement. Attorneys and other legal professionals from this office were
instrumental in the overall development of the national settlement in recognition of the effects of
the mortgage crisis in Arizona, as well as the expertise the AGO staff brought to the process.
Arizona received more than $1.6 billion as its share of the landmark $25 billion joint federal-
state agreement with the nation's five largest mortgage servicers over foreclosure abuses and
fraud, and unacceptable nationwide residential mortgage servicing practices.
Arizona's estimated total share of the settlement is $1.6 billion:

homeowners
