Law
enforcement officers raided the offices of the Hoffman Law Group in
North Palm Beach last Wednesday. The firm has been under
investigation by the Florida attorney general's office for alleged
violations of the state's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
Homeowners were pressured into joining mass litigation lawsuits.
Homeowners paid a $6,000 retainer and $495 per month in "maintenance
fees" to be parties to the lawsuits, which have mostly
floundered in federal court. Some borrowers also allege they were
promised foreclosure defense by intake representatives at the firm,
but either never received it or were referred to another firm for an
additional cost.
Thank
goodness we have Dave Israel constantly scanning business records,
and turning away questionable offers, contractors, lawyers, etc.
