WANTED: One Lawyer Scamming Homeowners

I got a call today from a newspaper reporter.  He was searching the Internet looking for stories on lawyers and loan modifications and found several stories I had written, so he gave me a call.

He said he realized that I had defended the idea that lawyers should be helping people at risk of losing their homes, but he was looking for something else… and he figured maybe I could help.

It seems that his editor had given him specific instructions.  He was told to go out and find a story about a lawyer scamming a homeowner… that’s what the paper wanted to publish and he was to go out and find one.

Did I know one?  It would sure save some time.

Gee, I thought.  I didn’t know anyone off hand, but I’d see what I could do.

After all… It’s All the News That Fits, We Print.

Right?  Right.

    Hmmm.... Gary Erickson at GCS immediately comes to mind.

    Weren't they on your trusted list and weren't you their chief blogger at one point?

    The question was whether Andelman could find one scamming attorney. I personally think he write a whose who list of scamming attorneys, but that is just my opinion.

    There are many fine attorneys out there and it is a shame that they are given a bad name by those that don't abide by the same standards.

    I'm delighted that you were able to obtain a modification, and received the services which you contracted for. There are many, many people who didn't and can't get refunds.
