Failure to refund the money for the services not provided
In December 2009, I paid Atlantic Legal Group $2, 500 to represent me during my divorce. On top of $2, 500 for the divorce, I gave a check for $1, 000 to William (Bill) Ridings for criminal defense. William (Bill) Ridings reassured me that $1, 000 check would only be cashed if we needed to provide a defense for myself, which we never had to. Neverthele...

BE AWARE of this so called law firm. They are very corrupt. All they want to do is SELL you their service and collect your money. They care nothing about their clients. Files they have are rarely touched, getting a hold of someone over there to give you a straight answer is impossible. They lie and cheat their way through everything. They treat their employees like CRAP so imagine the way they treat their clients. They changed their names so many times so they don't get busted for all the NASTY things they have done to people. On top of the nasty list are KENT GROSS and DAN BENJAMIN who threatens client that if they do not pay for their balance owed that he will call their lender up so they will loose their home. If you need help with your home, go to your lender first. They can direct you to a nonprofit organization that will not charge you any fees. If you are a client be careful and report them to the Florida Bar if they are doing things unethically.

Misconception
There definitely needs to be some clarity in the charges that against atlantic legal group. The first thing is that they are not the same company and only a few employees work there from the regime of nationwide or even first legal. There were two brothers that started the company neither attorneys. That sold off to themselves including another attorney. They were asked by the ag' s office to shut there doors.
When that happened that left all of the customers with no way of getting back their money or representation. One of the only noble things they did was contact another firm "atlantic" to try and help who they could.
Atlantic legal group was forced to tell some home owners they couldn't help them because nationwide should have never taken there file in the first place. From all of this now everyone wants to blame atlantic legal group for some of there problems. When in fact they could be helped atlantic has and is doing that. Nationwide had no enforceable law governing them to refund the money. So people should be happy atlantic took there files so many of these people weren't blatantly robbed and taken advantage of. Since that transition atlantic legal group has been able to 100's of files successfully closed. I really wish people would look at the big picture before making accusations against a very good operation. !.
They Only took some of the files.To find out if they are working on your file please call them at [protected] to get a status.

You guys are so right they are now operating out of Florida Purchasing companies with other peoples money, and spending it on themselves and what ever under age child who honestly don't realize their true Intentions till its too late or they are fired. WOW who would have thought you could go into business to honestly steal from the hands feeding them as they are on an already over budgeted company talking the largest salary they possibly can while using the company card for personal uses including drinks at the strip club!
Kent Gross is now operating under the "new" Quogue Law (www.quoguelaw.com). This man is a total fraud and a scam artist. He is linked to shady business partners Matthew Gillio and Jimmy DeFalco. Do NOT do business with these men!
Oh my god this guy just lied to me about a refund he doesn’t understand how the Internet works and I offered them a deal where I don’t report them to the bar association and dispute the charge and make YouTube videos about this on my YouTube channel Senator Sheldon Cooper
Hey they arent just doing it with the homes but takeing people for money on devoice cases and everything all i want to do is cry every time i think of the mess they have put me in i told them i didnt have much money as im a singel mom trying to get full coustody of my children from a husband that hits me and they took all i had and said they could do everything for what i gave them and now 2 years past nothing they took from me but more from my kids shame on them shame
Are you kidding me? this guy Dan Benjamin as he call himself and Robbin Goodone and kent in his NYC office, really know how to put on a show. They were after me for payments but after they collected over $7000 from me and my mother credit card I have not hear from them. This was to do a chapter 13 and suppossely to stop the foreclosure. Please someone has to stop this CROOKS, Dan sounded so fair and professional when I spoke to him unbelieable I fell for it. :(
THIS COMPANY IS A COMPLETE FRAUD, THEY MADE ME BELIEVE THAT I COULD SAVE MY HOUSE AND THEY NEVER PROVIDED LEGAL REPRESENTATION. TWO INDIVIDUALS I WORK WITH DANIEL BENJAMIN AND JASON DVORACEK - COMPLETE RIP OFF - THEY SCAM ME A TOTAL OF $10, 850. I LOST MY HOUSE AND I WAS PUT ON THE STREET AND THEY DID NOT HAVE THE NERVES TO ANSWER MY CALLS. THEY LET ME TO BELIEVE THAT IT WILL BE A GOOD IDEA TO FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY AND THERE HAS BEEN NO BANKCRUPTCY FILE...THEY ARE A BUNCH OF CROOKS.
I COMPLETELY AGREE with the above negative posts. We originally hired Nationwide Home Relief over a year ago for 2400 they advised us to stop making our morgage payments and if a modification offer was not obtained than we would get a FULL REFUND. I'm now sitting here over a year later with no modification our home in foreclosure and Atlantic Leagal group now saying that I need to pay them an add'l 700 retainer and 450 per month.
PLEASE NOTE that they will tell you over and over agin that Nationwide Home Relief / First Legal Group and now Atlantic Legal Group are not the same companies. PLEASE do you really think the general public is stupid? It's a matter of public record on Sunbiz that ALL three companies are owned by the SAME PEOPLE! William Ridings and Kent Gross!
They don't return calls unless they are looking for money and Dan Benjamin in their collections department actually told me that he "makes his morgage payment" how condecending! Like I'm a piece of SH#&! I'm not the only person going through this right now! Both my husband and I are colleage graduates with professional careers. We were stupid enough to sign a 3 year arm and with the housing colapse we are now upside down in our home so no one will refi us, a modification is our only hope...THEY ARE A BUNCH OF CROOKS!
I agree totally with all the negative complaints agains Nationwide Home Relief/First Legal/ and now Atlantic Legal Group.
I have been dealing with these/this company for a little over one year - and still no resolution. In fact, due to them dragging their feet and letting my file sit on a shelf, it has escilated to my house being in foreclosure, and Atlantic Legal Group now taking MORE money from me to settle the foreclosure (down payment and then monthly fees EVERY month).
I have so many emails from the beginning of this scam of a transaction that no one bothers answering. They read them, but nothing, no reply, no call. the only time they are diligent about getting in touch with me is for more money. Also, when when you call, all you do is speak to an operator/customer service rep who reads what is written in your file (same information each time) "so and so spoke to the bank, they have no further information, will call back in 2 weeks". I e mail and call time after time with no response other than that they don't have anything yet. And when you do speak to anyone when they are calling for more money, and state your concerns and opinion, they are nasty and come back at you with "well, it's not us that caused this, it's you that is not paying your mortgage".
I am in the process of contacting the DA's office where I live to report their shady practices. Hopefully, this will correct my situation - but more important, maybe this will finally stop them from being in business and doing this to others.
THEY ARE A SCAM! They don't care about their clients or their employees. They are greedy "attorneys" and I have heard that they don't even pay their employees, just themselves. They are so afraid of getting caught that they just keep changing their name. Everyone should be warned about these crooks! I have heard from many people that they have just "took their case" and didn't do a thing! First it was national home relief, then nationwide home relief legal, then first legal, now atlantic legal...a little shady to me!
kEEP911, YOU NEED TO DO WHAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE DONE, YOU HAVE TO REPORT YOUR COMPLAINT TO THE FLORIDA ATTORNEY GENERAL THEY HAVE AN OPEN CASE ON NATIONWIDE, MAKE SURE YOU CALL THEN SO YOU CAN GET YOUR MONEY BACK AND PARTICIPATE IN SHUTTING THESE OFFICES DOWN ONCE AND FOR ALL SO THEY STOP ROBBING PEOPLE THEY DID THAT TO CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES AS WELL. DONT FORGET CALL THE FLORIDA ATTORNEY GENERAL TODAY HERE IS THE Fraud Hotline: 1-866-9-NO-SCAM [protected]) (toll free within Florida
My wife and I have not heard a thing from Kent Gross! They have a phone service taking phone calls and no one calls you back. This has been going on since November. We where told in the begging if they do not get us a new home payment, we would get a percentage back. Well that to is a joke. It's so hard out here to make money and they are stealing our hard earned money. I cant believe we cant get a simple call back from about our refund. But going forward, I promise you this is not the last blog I fill out!
