Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi filed a court action against a group who was allegedly claiming to be lawyers and operating an illegitimate foreclosure defense and loan modification law firm.
This group consisted of Adam Forman, Joseph Hilton, or Joseph Starr, Victor Spagnuolo and others, all of whom are not lawyers, yet were operating the firm. Actions were filed with Coral Springs Police Dept., Boca Raton Police Department, Broward County State Attorney’s Office and the U.S. Secret Service.
Some of the firms they operated include Asset Protection Law Firm, Heritage Law Group, Liberty Law Group, Consumer Legal Resources, Consumer Legal Advocates, Legal Referral Services, Galler Lehman Law and Selective Housing Solutions.
The defendants allegedly lied to homeowners in order to have them pay large up-front fees for legal services no supervised or approved by licensed attorneys.
“Florida homeowners facing the stress of foreclosure should not have to worry about scammers posing as lawyers and making false promises of relief to get what little money the homeowners may have,” Bondi said.
