Wish I could say I’m Shocked….!
Imagine that, more people preying on homeowners desperation to keep a roof over their families head. This time it’s attorney’s that are taking all they can from these unfortunate people.
Hot off the press: The state bar of California just released the names of 16 attorneys who are under investigation for misconduct related to loan modifications. Interim Chief Trial Council, Russell Weiner stated “In my 21 years in attorney discipline, I have not seen a crisis of this magnitude. It is truly unprecedented”. Wiener is waiving investigation confidentiality based on law. I’m impressed, it’s about time that attorneys stop being shielded by the veil of the State Bar.
You guessed it, these attorneys are being investigated for taking fees and promising services….loan mods….and not delivering. Basically, take the money and stop taking the clients calls and of course, no refunds!
I myself have heard the commercials of one of the attorneys on the list...”We fight for you” ya…uh ha…
“The number of attorneys using their law licenses to essentially take money from unwary but trusting consumers is astounding,” Weiner added. “There are literally thousands of victims who have lost money they could not afford to lose. Under the circumstances, the need for public information and protection is paramount.”
The following attorneys have received a significant number of complaints related to the loan modification services they were hired to perform. They are entitled to a full and fair hearing on any charges that may be filed in the future. No discipline may be imposed unless and until the State Bar proves allegations of misconduct by clear and convincing evidence.

To whom it may concern, I was doing a loan modification with an attorney, supposobly they were working on my loan Mod. I’ve mention a lot of details like I firts started doing it my self directly with my lender IndyMac but it fall out cause I didn’t send the child support information so it didn’t go trough the loan Mod so I try again to re-do it so on the second time the loan Mod din’t go trough cause I have send my payment late with I have proof that I didn’t cause I have send it by Wester Union, so I was not late on my Mrtg payment…So right there I decided to get an attorney to help me they charged me upfront $3000.00 but I did paid them in 3 payment with in in one month an a week, mean time the attorney said to me that they have allready contact my lenter and they are allready working on my loan modification, a lot of thing happen during 4 months “which nothing happen cause my house was sold out in a truste sale. … I lost my home the money that I paid this people and I end up living in the street. I would like to know what can I do about this??
