United Law Group Fraud

Peter Bronstein and Jonathan Bruce Teperson #156470 are involved in a fraud scheme knowing filing a $250,000 tortious lawsuit against me and my company claiming Extortion

This includes un licensed practice of law, Jacob King aka Mark Hakim (CEO of ULRS INC. Jacob King was impersonating the “Corporate attorney” practicing law free of a license.

They filed a default judgment (with NO service) on 1/3/23 which was reversed on 3/21/23

They have done this multiple times and for extortion:

For Extortion

• The defendant knew the threat was wrongful,

• The threat included a demand for money, property or services (this threat could be express or implied), and

• The plaintiff complied with the demand.

Retaliation

A. On 3/11/22 Alameda County #HS21112776 Hogarty vs United Legal Group for $1,000 and removal of judgment. (United Legal Group reported a collection on my personal credit lowering my credit score by 100 points.) It was served to attorney Jonathan Teperson ESQ yet it was not allowed in Small Claims. Service was attempted 7 times to United Legal Group, with 2 separate court dates, to no avail.

B. On 3/18/22 United Legal Group filed this complaint for $250,000 Extortion in Riverside County #CVSW2201581. This case is a direct retaliation against Proof Smart Food (Corporation dissolved 2020 due to COVID), The Fitness Meal Inc. (CA Corp 2021).

A. Defendant Hogarty had multiple conversations with Jacob King aka Mark Hakim (CEO of ULRS INC. Jacob King was impersonating the “Corporate attorney” practicing law free of a license. Jacob King has practiced law free of a license with other clients.

B. From BBB (Better Business Bureau) website: https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/corona/profile/collections-agencies/united-legal-group-1066-850037572/customer-reviews (many more on the link)

• Jessica "In that email, the lab owner said she had not authorized ULG to collect on these debts, and that she had sent them a cease-and-desist letter, but they had ignored the request. I have spoken to Elizabeth from ULG several times. I asked if I could record the call for my records and she told me it was an FDCPA violation to record the call. It is not. She lied to me about the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.”

• Phillip “They then started to threaten us, especially Jacob K***. He said he will not pay us over 20k of monies he has already collected and if we go after him he will go after us for more penalties. He also told me he based off of the customer I have sent to collections he can tell that I'm working with criminals and breaking the law.

• Christina: “Stay away from this company. The owner, Mark H****, aka Jacob K*** (the “legal director” - who isn’t an attorney yet continuously provides clients with reckless legal advice, and has actually told other people that he IS an attorney) will retaliate if you use PSL and will even fire you for request*** FFCRA pay after require*** that you quarantine. He illegally demoted me while I was on medical leave. He also falsely claims that employees “resigned” since he doesn’t want to pay unemployment benefits. There are multiple past employees who can attest to this. This place is ridiculous, and I’m surprised the Department of Labor hasn’t shut them down yet.

Jurisdiction and Venue

A. Trustart Financial is located in Chicago, Illinois (They were the company defendant did business with, not United Legal Group). United Legal Group is located in Corona, CA, ULRS Inc is located in Murrieta CA and William Hogarty, The Fitness Meal Inc, Proof Smart Food Inc (dissolved in 2020) are located in Alameda County, CA. All business dealing with Trustart Financial were done in Alameda County, CA.

B. United Legal Group is not a California entity and was not authorized to put defendant into collections in Feb 2021. ULRS, Inc. is a newly formed corporation (formed 8/19/21). The defendant never did any business with ULRS, Inc. or United Legal Group.

Original complaint dated 5/01/19 by defendant against Trustart Financial (Alameda Count #HS19004448 for fraud, misrepresentation and services not rendered) dismissed as served in Chicago so not valid for small claims in CA.

Duty to meet and confer.

1. Defendant called Peter Bronstein on 9/29/23 for a meet and confirm, promised a called back to no avail. Defendant called and emailed Peter Bronstein on January 10, 2023 to no avail, Defendant called and emailed Peter Bronstein on January 11, 2023 to no avail and Defendant emailed Peter Bronstein and Jonathan Teperson on February 2, 2023 to no avail.

2. No service of ANY motions below to defendant:

United Law Group Collections

United law firm first contacted me saying they were united collections and I was being served court papers over a loan I had taken out from the cash store in 2019. I hadn't received any letters from the cash store or a collection agency. They told me I could settle for $200 less than what I owed. Then they told me in order to do so I needed to pay $188.55 up front to avoid court since my account was red flagged. The next two times they called it looked to be a cell phone number not the usual 800 number. I never sent money. I felt like it was a scam.

United Law Group United Law Group is Brookstone Law

I have been struggling for the last couple of years to keep my home, I catch up and fall behind again on my mortgage and the economy is just not getting better for me. I have tried everything, to no avail. I started trying to work with my lender (WAMU now Chase) back in 2008. I attempted to work with Chase and grew frustrated that after one year of sending and resending paperwork and them losing they denied my modification. I was in the exact same position as when I first contacted them. After all the frustration of trying to work with them, I thought I had found the answer when I came across United Law Group. Anthony was very helpful at first and told me that they could help me. He took my information over the phone and "Qualified " me for a loan modification. He told me that I qualified, but after my experience with Chase on me to work with them I was skeptical at best. Anthony re-assured me and told me that the difference between "ULG" and others was that they were going to file a class action lawsuit against my lender and use that as leverage to modify my loan.

HE SOLD ME, I paid my fee and that is when the nightmare started. after months of no return calls or emails I finally got a hold of someone. By this point I was looking for a refund, they told me that the reason I did not get a modification was that I had too much credit card debt and needed to enroll in "Debt Settlement", since I was mad at their lack of customer service, to "make it up to me" they would give me a discount on that service, that they also provided, they told me that they had addressed their issues and "moving forward" it would not happen again.

I GOT SOLD AGAIN! A few months later I called to get an update, their phones were no longer working, panicking I went on line and found out that they had been raided by the FTC, FBI, the BAR, I found out that the major reason they got shut down is that they promised thousands of people (myself included) that they would sue my bank and NEVER FILED ONE CASE.

Needless to say I am still in the same situation except I am out thousands of dollars and I am still struggling to make my mortgage payment. I am still trying to save my house, that is when I heard about Brookstone Law and that they were suing the banks. I contacted Brookstone and imagine my surprise when on the other end of the phone was familiar to me, It was Anthony!

The same person from ULG who I had first spoken to a year and a half earlier and never returned my calls while he was at ULG. I did a search of Brookstone Law and found out that it is the SAME PEOPLE AS ULG, THE SAME ATTORNEY (the one that did not get disbarred) and the same people orchestrating a new SCAM, with the same "master thief" Damian Kutzner behind ULG. I feel silly enough to have been fooled by them twice already. I WILL NOT BE FOOLED AGAIN! BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE!

Scam Alert everybody - these guys are pitching everyone that they can eliminate your mortgage or reduce it to 80% of value - what a crock. Read what the California Department of Real Estate has to say about their wonderful lawsuit or go to this link: http://www.dre.ca.gov/pdf_docs/ca/ConsumeAlert_WarningreMassLitigation.pdf

California Department of Real Estate
** CONSUMER ALERT **
1
FRAUD WARNING REGARDING LAWSUIT MARKETERS REQUESTING UPFRONT
FEES FOR SO-CALLED “MASS JOINDER” OR CLASS LITIGATION PROMISING
EXTRAORDINARY HOME MORTGAGE RELIEF
By Wayne S. Bell
Chief Counsel, California Department of Real Estate
I. HOME MORTGAGE RELIEF THROUGH LITIGATION (and “Too Good to Be True”
Claims Regarding Its Use to Avoid and/or Stop Foreclosure, Obtain Loan Principal
Reduction, and to Let You Have Your Home “Free and Clear” of Any Mortgage).
This alert is written to warn consumers about marketing companies, unlicensed entities,
lawyers, and so-called attorney-backed, attorney-affiliated, and lawyer referral entities
that offer and sell false hope and request the payment of upfront fees for so-called “mass
joinder” or class litigation that will supposedly result in extraordinary home mortgage
relief.

The California Department of Real Estate (“DRE” or “Department”) previously issued a
consumer alert and fraud warning on loan modification and foreclosure rescue scams in
California. That alert was followed by warnings and alerts regarding forensic loan audit
fraud, scams in connection with short sale transactions, false and misleading
designations and claims of special expertise, certifications and credentials in connection
with home loan relief services, and other real estate and home loan relief scams.
The Department continues to administratively prosecute those who engage in such fraud
and to work in collaboration with the California State Bar, the Federal Trade
Commission, and federal, State and local criminal law enforcement authorities to bring
such frauds to justice.
On October 11, 2009, Senate Bill 94 was signed into law in California, and it became
effective that day. It prohibited any person, including real estate licensees and attorneys,
from charging, claiming, demanding, collecting or receiving an upfront fee from a
homeowner borrower in connection with a promise to modify the borrower’s residential
loan or some other form of mortgage loan forbearance.
Senate Bill 94’s prohibitions seem to have significantly impacted the rampant fraud that
was occurring and escalating with respect to the payment of upfront fees for loan
modification work.
Also, forensic loan auditors must now register with the California Department of Justice
and cannot accept payments in advance for their services under California law once a
Notice of Default has been recorded. There are certain exceptions for lawyers and real
estate brokers. 2
On January 31, 2011, an important and broad advance fee ban issued by the Federal
Trade Commission became effective and outlaws providers of mortgage assistance relief
services from requesting or collecting advance fees from a homeowner.
Discussions about Senate Bill 94, the Federal advance fee ban, and the Consumer
Alerts of the DRE, are available on the DRE’s website at www.dre.ca.gov.
Lawyer Exemption from the Federal Advance Fee Ban --
The advance fee ban issued by the Federal Trade Commission includes a narrow and
conditional carve out for attorneys.
If lawyers meet the following four conditions, they are generally exempt from the rule:
1. They are engaged in the practice of law, and mortgage assistance relief is part of
their practice.
2. They are licensed in the State where the consumer or the dwelling is located.
3. They are complying with State laws and regulations governing the “same type of
conduct the [FTC] rule requires”.
4. They place any advance fees they collect in a client trust account and comply with
State laws and regulations covering such accounts. This requires that client funds
be kept separate from the lawyers' personal and/or business funds until such time
as the funds have been earned.
It is important to note that the exemption for lawyers discussed above does not allow
lawyers to collect money upfront for loan modifications or loan forbearance services,
which advance fees are banned by the more restrictive California Senate Bill 94.
But those who continue to prey on and victimize vulnerable homeowners have not given
up. They just change their tactics and modify their sales pitches to keep taking
advantage of those who are desperate to save their homes. And some of the frauds
seeking to rip off desperate homeowners are trying to use the lawyer exemption above to collect
advance fees for mortgage assistance relief litigation.
This alert and warning is issued to call to your attention the often overblown and
exaggerated “sales pitch(es)” regarding the supposed value of questionable
“Mass Joinder” or Class Action Litigation.
Whether they call themselves Foreclosure Defense Experts, Mortgage Loan Litigators,
Living Free and Clear experts, or some other official, important or impressive sounding
title(s), individuals and companies are marketing their services in the State of California
and on the Internet. They are making a wide variety of claims and sales pitches,
and offering impressive sounding legal and litigation services, with quite
extraordinary remedies promised, with the goal of taking and getting some of your
money. 3
While there are lawyers and law firms which are legitimate and qualified to handle
complex class action or joinder litigation, you must be cautious and BEWARE. And
certainly check out the lawyers on the State Bar website and via other means, as
discussed below in Section III.
II. QUESTIONABLE AND/OR FALSE CLAIMS OF THE SO-CALLED MORTGAGE LOAN
DEFENSE OR “MASS JOINDER” AND CLASS LITIGATORS.
A. What are the Claims/Sales Pitches?
They are many and varied, and include:
1. You can join in a mass joinder or class action lawsuit already filed against your
lender and stay in your home. You can stop paying your lender.
2. The mortgage loans can be stripped entirely from your home.
3. Your payment obligation and foreclosure against your home can be stopped when
the lawsuit is filed.
4. The litigation will take the power away from your lender.
5. A jury will side with you and against your lender.
6. The lawsuit will give you the leverage you need to stay in your home.
7. The lawsuit may give you the right to rescind your home loan, or to reduce your
principal.
8. The lawsuit will help you modify your home loan. It will give you a step up in the
loan modification process.
9. The litigation will be performed through “powerful” litigation attorney
representation.
10. Litigation attorneys are “turning the tables on lenders and getting cash settlements
for homeowners”.
In one Internet advertisement, the marketing materials say, “the damages sought in your
behalf are nothing less than a full lien strip or in otherwords [sic] a free and clear house if
the bank can’t produce the documents they own the note on your home. Or at the very
least, damages could be awarded that would reduce the principal balance of the note on
your home to 80% of market value, and give you a 2% interest rate for the life of the
loan”.
B. Discussion.
Please don’t be fooled by slick come-ons by scammers who just want your money. Some
of the claims above might be true in a particular case, based on the facts and evidence
presented before a Court or a jury, or have a ring or hint of truth, but you must carefully
examine and analyze each and every one of them to determine if filing a lawsuit against
your lender or joining a class or mass joinder lawsuit will have any value for you and your
situation. Be particularly skeptical of all such claims, since agreeing to participate in 4
such litigation may require you to pay for legal or other services, often before any legal
work is performed (e.g., a significant upfront retainer fee is required).
The reality is that litigation is time-consuming (with formal discovery such as
depositions, interrogatories, requests for documents, requests for admissions,
motions, and the like), expensive, and usually vigorously defended. There can be
no guarantees or assurances with respect to the outcome of a lawsuit.
Even if a lender or loan owner defendant were to lose at trial, it can appeal, and the
entire process can take years. Also, there is no statistical or other competent data
that supports the claims that a mass joinder and class action lawsuit, even if
performed by a licensed, legitimate and trained lawyer(s), will provide the
remedies that the marketers promise.
There are two other important points to be made here:
First, even assuming that the lawyers can identify fraud or other legal violations
performed by your lender in the loan origination process, your loan may be owned by an
investor – that is, someone other than your lender. The investor will most assuredly
argue that your claims against your originating lender do not apply against the investor
(the purchaser of your loan). And even if your lender still owns the loan, they are not
legally required, absent a court judgment or order, to modify your loan or to halt the
foreclosure process if you are behind in your payments. If they happen to lose the
lawsuit, they can appeal, as noted above. Also, the violations discovered may be minor
or inconsequential, which will not provide for any helpful remedies.
Second, and very importantly, loan modifications and other types of foreclosure relief are
simply not possible for every homeowner, and the “success rate” is currently very low in
California. This is where the lawsuit marketing scammers come in and try to convince
you that they offer you “a leg up”. They falsely claim or suggest that they can guarantee
to stop a foreclosure in its tracks, leave you with a home “free and clear” of any
mortgage loan(s), make lofty sounding but hollow promises, exaggerate or make bold
statements regarding their litigation successes, charge you for a retainer, and leave you
with less money.
III. THE KEY HERE IS FOR YOU TO BE ON GUARD AND CHECK THE LAWYERS OUT
(Know Who You Are or May Be Dealing With) - Do Your Own Homework (Avoid
The Traps Set by the Litigation Marketing Frauds).
Before entering into an attorney-client relationship, or paying for “legal” or litigation
services, ascertain the name of the lawyer or lawyers who will be providing the services.
Then check them out on the State Bar's website, at www.calbar.ca.gov. Make certain
that they are licensed by the State Bar of California. If they are licensed, see if they have
been disciplined. 5
Check them out through the Better Business Bureau to see if the Bureau has received
any complaints about the lawyer, law firm or marketing firm offering the services (and
remember that only lawyers can provide legal services). And please understand that this
is just another resource for you to check, as the litigation services provider might be so
new that the Better Business Bureau may have little or nothing on them (or something
positive because of insufficient public input).
Check them out through a Google or related search on the Internet. You may be
amazed at what you can and will find out doing such a search. Often consumers
who have been scammed will post their experiences, insights, and warnings long
before any criminal, civil or administrative action has been brought against the
scammers.
Also, ask them lots of specific, detailed questions about their litigation experience, clients
and successful results. For example, you should ask them how many mortgage-related
joinder or class lawsuits they have filed and handled through settlement or trial. Ask
them for pleadings they have filed and news stories about their so-called successes. Ask
them for a list of current and past “satisfied” clients. If they provide you with a list, call
those people and ask those former clients if they would use the lawyer or law firm again.
Ask the lawyers if they are class action or joinder litigation specialists and ask them what
specialist qualifications they have. Then ask what they will actually do for you (what
specific services they will be providing and for what fees and costs). Get that in writing,
and take the time to fully understand what the attorney-client contract says and what the
end result will be before proceeding with the services. Remember to always ask for and
demand copies of all documents that you sign.
IV. CONCLUSION.
Mortgage rescue frauds are extremely good at selling false hope to consumers in trouble
with regard to home loans. The scammers continue to adapt and to modify their
schemes as soon as their last ones became ineffective. Promises of successes through
mass joinder or class litigation are now being marketed.
Please be careful, do your own diligence to protect yourself, and be highly suspect if
anyone asks you for money up front before doing any service on your behalf. Most
importantly, DON’T LET FRAUDS TAKE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY.

Brookstone Scam

Mar 21, 2011 1:13 am EDT

Let's face it, Damian Kutzner knows that this "Brookstone Law" place is just like EVERY other "endeavor"/scam that he (Damian Kutzner) has ever controlled. This means that he already knows that this thing called Brookstone Law/ULG gets shut down. So knowing this just like with United Law Group the money is already out the door and nesting in another company that he and another puppet attorney will roll into next. Minus, of course, Vito and his Bar License. Damian cannot by law own or operate pretty much any firm that uses telephones to solicit clients that is why they keep his name off of everything, but everyone inside Brookstone knows that he is the one running the show in this new scam operation. Long - short: the only way to get your money out of Brookstone Law or any company under Damian Kutzner's control is- NOT TO PUT IT IN!

United Law Group failure to perform service

Solicited by phone an offer to modify home loan from Bank of America.
This was in may of 2009. Paid them in two payments to a total sum of 5300.
For this amount they claimed We had access to an lawyer and large group of Para-legals well versed in lawsuits against BofA.
After months of telling us BofA was not returning calls and not working with them, they told us the funds were gone and that we could file with them for Bankuptcy for an additional 3, 000.00. We declined their offer. they also stated that we would be included in lawsuit against BofA as a class action client.(at no Additional cost)
BofA has never heard of ULG in our case unless the information came from us. there are no leters, no notes, most important no certified mail sent on our behalf to BofA. ULG sat a on our money cashed the checks and did noting nor can they prove they have done anything.
We are not on the lawsuit and from what we have seen all ULG has done is file a COMPLIANT against Bofa and Countrywide, not filed a lawsuit. We are about to be forclosed on by BofA, and they do not want to do any modify's anyway because there is no money in it for them. The US Government already gave it to them, no strings attached.
United law group took our last amount of money and like a pickpocket walked off down the street not looking back! BofA wants their Property and all the govenment handouts! So they can resaell the house again.
All backed by the national and state governments.

United Law Group Will not provide services retained for

Several months ago my wife and I retained United Law Group to assist with securing a loan modification. Like several other people we got nothing. ULG was just resently raided by several agencys including the FBI. I have filed complaints with several agencys my self . None have came up with anything different. ULG is scamming people for a profit. A freind compared ULG and thier tactics to that of the movie Boiler room. I am trying to keep my house and am working with my lender directly agianst the advice of ULG. Hopefully I can save it. If not I will be moving my famialy into ULG's corparate office in Irvine Ca.

United Law Group - Bad business practices

There are no attorney's in any State except for California. They hire contracted attorney's in each state when the case comes up. If the attorney does not get on board in time! Then the BK does not go through. They do not send anyone to the court hearings and they do not answer their clients emails or calls. For the most part they tell the client to file...

United Law Group Missed Deadlines/ Is the REASON I am losing my House

I started with ULG in 2008, they charged $3500 upfront. Patricia stated they had modified 97% of the loans they had worked on and the 3% they did not were based on the client lying about their income. Patricia from the Bergstrum Group which I later found out was a front for another law firm in Ca. said United Law Group had a sophisiticated software program that could find discrepencies in almost 100% of all mortgage agreements and this would force my mortgager to reduce the principal, interest and eliminate late payments. When I was handed off to ULG, they confirmed what Patricia from The Bergstrum Group had said.

I could go on and on about ULG's failings, lies and incompetence. They are too many too count, so I will just mention a couple.
I will also show you why ULG thinks you should use them, I will counter in parenthesis.

First off, I found out through my 2 year modification ordeal, a mortgagor requires financials(income and bills), proof of income and a hardship letter to consider you for a modification. I provided ULG 3 or 4 sets of these, some of which that were never sent to my mortgagor. I had a sheriff's sale schedule 10/29/2009, to stop the sale I provided theses financials and hardship letter to United Law Group on Oct. 7.

I am sending you the fax now. Please confirm when you receive it.

Thanks,

Yesenia never responded, this commenced my 3 week odyssey of calling ULG 3-8 times a day to get a person. I got shut out over 200 times because the automated system said they were too busy to take calls . It did not even give you the option of leaving a voice mail.
Finally about a week before the scheduled sale, I called ULG and, get this!, got an answering service. I spoke with the answering service lady and asked what happened to ULG, she thought they might have been shut down or something like that. After that I decided if I were to save my home, I would have to do it myself. I contacted the mortgagor and asked when they need my hardship letter, they said the time has passed but told me to get it in asap and they would see what they could do. I averted the sale on the 28th, I found out later the mortgagor received my hardship letter on October 29 AFTER THE SCHEDULED SHERIFF'S SALE. This is the same set of documents I provided to ULG on Oct. 7. To top it off, even this incompetent act would not have been performed had I not sent them this email on Oct. 27.

mailed-bygmail.com

To Anyone who will listen at United Law Group, The Better Business Bureau, California State Bar and US Attorney General,

Below United Law Group requested documents on Oct.7. On Oct 7, I faxed the documents you requested. I followed up with an email that was never responded to. I then call United Law Group every day for the next week before I managed to reach someone. They confirmed receipt of documents and that they were sent to my lender. I then called United Law Group again every day trying confirm that lender got the documents. When I could not reach anyone at ULG, I finally contacted my lender. They informed me that one of the only times they ever spoke with ULG was on Oct. 7. They told me no documents were received, my sheriff's sale is scheduled in 2 days and I am at the end of my rope with all of you!

Why has ULG not been shut down for taking thousands of borrowers money and then not doing a thing, NOT A DAMN THING. I called and called and they repeatly told me 2 things:

1. The ball is in the lender's court and we have to wait(I have been waiting over a year now!)
2. Do NOT contact the lender as this will portray weakness. (ULG- DO YOU SAY THIS SO ALL OF US SUCKERS WON'T CALL THE LENDER AND FIND OUT YOU HAVE NOT DONE A DAMN THING!)

I spent $3500 on this pathetic excuse for humanity. I want it back now! I want to at least have a CHANCE to save my home that I raised my 3 children in. I want a chance to work this out with the lender. But it won't happen without you... any of you. I need your help, my kids need your help. Please get my sheriffs sale postponed so I have shot at fixing this ROYAL MESS ULG has created.

God help us,

Jeff Fxxxxxxxx
6xx-6xx-xxxx(Feel free to call me, I won't have an answering service field my calls and my responsibilities like ULG did all day today)"

It is now the end of January, why do I complain now? I was totally ashamed I got taken to the bank by these people that really do give all lawyer a bad name. I finally came around and decided the GOOD, HONEST, HARD WORKING people that find themselves in my spot HAVE TO turn tail and run from ANYONE and I MEAN ANYONE who wants an Upfront fee to modify their loan. Call your county government, they will put in touch with HONEST people that will HELP.

ULG says you need them, because they have teeth. They DO NOT have teeth, why, because they choking on the millions WE have given to them.

Last note: In almost 2 years of working with this LAW FIRM, how many LAWYERS did I speak with? 10-no, 5-no, ... 2-NO... 1-NO! HOW ABOUT ZERO!

It's interesting to note that Foondos is always saying that they have a great reputation with customer service but provides no support out of the thousands he's apparently helped. In fact, there's many, many reviews to say the contrary. The synopsis that the former legal secretary gives is interesting because it describes the exact complaint people are posting. Not only that but I experienced the exact same thing. Delays, excuses. They are great at harassing you about getting their money. But that's it. And ULC, there's no confusing you with ULG. They say ULC in Roseville. Not ULG in Roseville. Sara get is the partner has had two complaint filed with state bar. In fact while on probation from CalBar, gets another complaint. Absolutely scammers. They take your money and make excuses and then vacation in Greece. Sounds a lot like executives from Goldman Saxs taking money and then going on a lavish vacation. Foondos is far worse than banks and KFBX is worse for promoting this guy on his show. Which leads more unscrupulous people to ULC
Just keep filing complaints with state bar and eventually they will topple like Ronnie Dutch.

I WORKED for these scamsters in the Roseville office of ULC. In my 25 years as a professional legal secretary I have never seen such scheisters! A daily myriad of dissatisfied clients calling, emailing, writing wanting to know the status of their home loans/foreclosures, etc. The firm was QUICK to sign on new clients, take their retainers then do NOTHING. This place was a mill. I am certain one day the Feds will crack down on them like they did Roni Deutch Tax Lady. I bailed from that sinking ship early on!

We paid ULG $2200 in July 2009, they pushed to collect our money immediately. We sent in paper work and have not been able to speak with anyone since. I have called everyday starting at 6am since September 1st only to be kicked off after a recording comes on to say we can not take your call due to the high volume of calls. There are no updates on their web site regarding my account nor any information on how to contact ANYONE. The following phone numbers given us in a Welcome Packet [protected], [protected], [protected] (website) after many rings reverts to a automatic message "We cannot take your call due to high volume of calls" and hangs up. The website includes NO EMAIL ADDRESSES to contact for information. They sent us cc:copies of papers that appear to have been sent to our Lender BUT...LENDER HAS NEVER BEEN CONTACTED..THESE ARE BOGUS PAPERS. Our mortgage is now 7 months overdue and United Law Group is no where to be found, does not return any calls nor respond to any fax requests (We faxed to two numbers: [protected]/[protected]...NO RESPONSE). Our client No#114857 if ULG reads this and cares to respond. If anyone can help us please email: [protected]@yahoo.com

The reason why your calls don't go through is that they have a very high end phone system. It recoginzes your phone number and routes you to bogus voice mail system.

Call from different phones and you'll at least get through.

United Law Group ripped me off. I signed up with them almost a year ago and they kept promising me that they would do a loan mod for me and nothing.

My lender never heard from them and now my house is in foreclosure.

United Law Group will Not give me a refund

I have been dealing with this co. for 8 months now, they would not inform me of the situeation of my Loan Modification, and everytime I called they would tell me that they were just waiting on the Bank! These were all lies, My loan Modification was cancelled because they failed to submit documents that the bank was requesting. I always send them my documents right away. They did not inform me of this and now my house is up for sale from the Bank. I have requested a refund of 7, 000. and they keep telling me someone is going to get a hold of me. A week now and no one has called me, at one time they said that they had other prioritys and that a refund of my money was not a priority, they will not transfer me to their supervisor and they will not return my call. There is got to be a way to stop these thiefs!

I heard they where pointing there hand guns in the faces of female employees.. I mean C'mon! This is Ridiculous!

How many people in jail are mad at there attorneys and want a refund? Everyone has to remeber that ULG didnt sign your loan documents with the bank as a personal gurantee to get your home. WE DID! So we want to blame everyone as to whos problem it is and as a last attempt we hire a LAW FIRM for $1750 to try and get us out of the mess we put ourselves into. As well as not making payments on the home which we live in for over 10 months? Everyone has to pay rent? What gives us the right not to pay ANYTHING for the home we live in then place ALL our blame on ONE LAW FIRM hat we tried to use to get us some more time in our house FOR FREE! ITS TIME TO WAKE UP AND LOOK AT THE REAL PROBLEM and thats the banks!

This law group is in way over thier heads with the loan modification business they have taken on. What may have seemed like the next goldmine revenue stream for ULG in 2008, has now blown-up on them because all banks are currently standing-off on making any loan mods...afterall, these banks will lose money if they do, and just as the economy is showing signs of recovery...the banks will not budge at this point...the opportunity to legitimately have a loan mod done under any circumstances dried-up in late 2008 early 2009.

The customer support for ULG loan mod customers has now degenerated to a brisk phantom "hang-up" after passing through the bogus menu options...if you want any kind of closure to your business with ULG, your only resort is to drive down to the office and politely, persistently demand to see your negotiator or a customer care manager...

I am in the same spot most are on this site 9 months and a refusal came back from my bank in July...I have not heard from them since. Mission impossible attempts to reach them by phone has yeilded a very low success rate, and when I do get through, I get a promise for a call back, or a canned response aimed at freeing the phoneline as quickly as possible.

The documents we all signed to get into this basically states that, ULG really never promised ANY results, and that we as consumers were proceeding at our own risk...there will be no refunds, just hard lessons learned.

United Law Group loan modification scam

This firm, headed by Atty Sean Alan Rutledge, collected upfront fee of $5, 000.00 for loan modification service offered in Oct. 2008 and we almost lost our home on May 5, 2009 after knowing about 3 days prior to the said sale date that our home property sale date can not be settled until we subject to repayment plan with the lender, Indy mac bank.

We have learned only on May 4, 2009 from the lender themselves that there was not at all loan modification filed on our property by the ULG firm and that we need to settle quickly to save our home. All along the firm's negotiating team, who are the only people we were able to speak despite my repeated demand to speak to this Atty. Rutledge, were really doing their job for what they are hired for and even asked us not to communicate ever with the lenders as we were being represented by the firm and to send all documents that these lenders were sending us and they will take care of it. They specifically convinced us that that was their job and that they will fight for you. Unfortunately, nothing have been done as no loan modification was ever filed to the lenders.

We opted to the repayment plan but ULG has never heard of since May 4, 2009 despite the calls and emails after calls and emails attempted.

Please help us with this scam and hoping to recover the lost amount of $5, 000.00 .

We were later notified that there were more people suffering similarly what we went through. Hope this firm can be cited, reported to the Bar and DOJ for the wrong doing they are practicing.

Thank you AARP for your effort of helping people like us.

I have the same exact story as you. They told us that all the foreclosure documents were scare tactics from our lender. When our home was published in the local newspaper through the Chancery Court for sale, they again told me that this was a scare tactic from the lender and that it was unlawful for our lender to sell our home. Well I am a county employee and decided to talk to the Chancery Clerk and she said the Notice of Sale was legal and that I should contact our lender and a lawyer ASAP! Her mouth dropped when I explained everything ULG told us.

My husband called our lender to see if there was anything we could work out with them and in about 30 minutes he was pre-approved for a Loan Modification. They said that the underwriters would take a look at it and contact us. But I am still worried that I will lose my home. I am not sure if this process will stop the sale of my home, which is scheduled for Sept 24, 2009.

Can anyone please give me some advise? We are running out of time.

United Law Group mortgage modification

I regret having jumped the gun and posting my complaint against The United Law Group. After speaking with Attorney Sean Rutledge any misunderstandings were fully explained and I was even sent documentation showing my mortgage company to be the ones at the cause of these delays. Communication with this company has improved 100% and they are now doing everything possible to keep me in my home. Thankfully I am now looking at the light at the end of the tunnel and Im looking foreward to letting you people know what a great job The United Law Group has done.

United Law Group - Scam

Hello All, I would like to go on record saying that this has been the worst experience ever; We to have placed our trust in a company (United Law Group) that clearly has no intentions on helping families like they say. We started our process with them in December and to this date we have had little to no feed-back at all. Our current status is that on...

PLEASE< PLEASE< PLEASE save yourself the heartache and emotional stress and money and do not use them and tell everyone you can. They said they would only take our case is "they knew they could win" My wife and 18 month old are having to find a place to live. We were desperate like so many others and have been scammed. We are losing our home. No updated info from ULG since FEB 09, we started the process in DEC of 08' and it is now sept 09 and we have a court date in Nov. Come to find out we need to hire one of their attorneys to help us. We were also told in the beginning we have an attorney. A class action Law Suit must be filed to shut them down.
Nothing is more hurtful than looking into your wife and child's eyes and feeling like you failed them
I posted somewhere else in greater detail. I am posting everywhere I can against this company
