Was thrown under the bus
I acquired this firm about two years ago after I slipped and fell in a race track gas station they agreed to take my case because they said my case was solid. Then About a month ago I get a letter in the mail saying they no longer want to represent me with no rhyme or reason to it no excuse to why they dont want to represent me they just want to drop my keys theyre in my second law firm Ive had I hurt myself very very badly and I feel like they have completely abandoned me I have no reason to believe that they have a sufficient reason for dropping my keys except for now theyre telling me that they cant win my case but if they couldnt have one of my case why did they take it in the first place? Now they have sent letters to all of my doctors saying they no longer represent me I have just gotten a $60,000 bill from the surgeon who did that surgery on me from my fall I can no longer see him because I cannot afford it Im left in severe pain and do not know what to do they will not return my calls at the firm will not return my emails I think that it is a completely irresponsible way of treating ones client I would never hire them I was still very very clear of them I have no idea whats going on but no other lawyer will take me because I had already had my keys for two years and they dont understand why My lawyer dropped me either.
User's recommendation: Stay far far away unless you want to be left out in the cold.

Thomas E. Law, II., so it appears this guy is not an attorney...
Thomas E. Law, II., so it appears this guy is not an attorney, yet is trying to capitalize on his last name and give the appearance of having the ability to do what he states.was sending out direct mail solicitations to Floridians who were going through the foreclosure process. The company offered foreclosure consulting services, but charged a large up front fee for those services, never followed through on the services, and failed to return monies despite a money back guarantee. As the whole world knows, Lee County, Florida is leading the nation in foreclosures. The cities in Lee County that are experiencing the highest foreclosure rate are Cape Coral and Lehigh Acres. According to the latest statistics, something like 1 in 86 homes in Lee County are in the foreclosure process, and not much is being done to fix the leak in the dam. Of course, with every crisis, there will be scam artists who will try to make money from the less fortunate, and there will be those that try to stop the scam artists. The Florida Attorney General, Bill McCollum, recently filed a lawsuit against a business in Clearwater, Florida for the use of unfair and deceptive practices against the public. The company named Law & Associates, LLC was sending out direct mail solicitations to Floridians who were going through the foreclosure process. The company offered foreclosure consulting services, but charged a large up front fee for those services, never followed through on the services, and failed to return monies despite a money back guarantee. This scam involves the company monitoring the public records for foreclosure filings. Once they obtain the names and addresses of the individuals being foreclosed upon, Law & Associates, LLC immediately starts a direct mail campaign aimed at getting the homeowner to pay the consulting fee. (Interestingly, a search of the Florida Bar's website reveals that that there is no known member of the Florida Bar listed as Thomas E. Law, II., so it appears this guy is not an attorney, yet is trying to capitalize on his last name and give the appearance of having the ability to do what he states). Either way, the distressed homeowner is told that they have 72 hours to contact the company and when they do contact the company, they are told that they are eligible for the program, but they have to come up with a consulting fee of $1,500 to $2,000 for the company to take their case. If the distressed homeowners can come up with the funds, then they must sign a contract which pretty much waives the consumer's rights to have their money back. To realize the impact of this strategy, you have to realize the vulnerability of the distressed homeowners. These are good people who are desperate to save their homes, and they have probably been around the block several times with their lenders trying to get the mortgage modified or had their payments sent back to them for one reason or another, and they just want some relief. http://www.mortgagelawnetwork.com/2008/04/29/florida-attorney-general-sues-foreclosure-consulting-service/

DEBT SETTLEMENT LAW FIRM GROUP FORECLOSURE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT
LAW AND ASSOCIATES IS BACK WITH ANOTHER SCAM! PLEASE BEWARE! 813.855.5443 Written by William B on May 7, 2008 this company will get their just rewards... see article TALLAHASSEE -- Attorney General Bill McCollum today sued a Clearwater business, alleging it engaged in deceptive and unfair practices by charging for foreclosure consulting services but failing to provide the assistance promised. According to the lawsuit, Law & Associates, LLC claimed it could help homeowners who were facing foreclosure and charged an up-front cash fee of approximately $1,500 to $2,000. Consumers reported to the Attorney Generals Office that the company not only failed to provide promised services but also refused to refund the fee despite an advertised money-back guarantee. More citizens in Florida are facing the very real possibility of losing their homes to foreclosure than anywhere else in the country, said Attorney General McCollum. "My office will continue working to ensure that businesses who offer assistance to these people are held accountable to the law," said McCollum. Law & Associates sends direct mailers to individual homeowners who are facing foreclosure. The mailers allegedly tell the homeowners they must call the company within 72 hours to see if they are eligible for a plan to stop the foreclosure process. The company also advertises online, allegedly promising to stop the foreclosure process and providing a money-back guarantee if they do not achieve a viable strategy with the lender to stop the foreclosure. When homeowners contact Law & Associates, they are allegedly told they qualify for a plan to stop foreclosure but must pay the hefty cash fee for Law & Associates to take their case. Once a homeowner pays the fee, he or she purportedly receives a written contract from Law and Associates that contains numerous terms and conditions not previously disclosed to the customer. According to the lawsuit, most of those terms and conditions are designed to prevent a homeowner from being entitled to a refund if Law & Associates is not successful in stopping the foreclosure. The Attorney Generals office has received more than 65 complaints from consumers about Law & Associates. The Attorney Generals lawsuit alleges six counts against Law & Associates and Thomas E. Law, II for violations of Floridas Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. The Attorney General is seeking penalties of $10,000 per violation and reimbursements for consumers who paid the fees. The lawsuit also asks the Court to require the company to cease its operations. ......................... Law & Associates, LLC, Thomas E.

Law and Associates latest fraud:www.housingrecovery.org.
Tom Law is a dishonest businessman and constantly scams consumers and the general public. It may seem like a bold statement, but if you Google him and his company "LAW AND ASSOCIATES" he has a long list of complaints in many different shady business dealings. The attorney General of Florida is aware of him along with the BBB. What amazes me is how TOM LAW from LAW AND ASSOCIATES has not been stopped as of yet. I know him first hand. My wife and I were social with him and his wife, Mary Anne and knew his three daughters: Dianna, Shantel, and Elise. I stopped associating with him three years ago when he refused to pay me a large commission on a business deal in Florida. He somehow managed to take advantage of me and my partner through his multiple corporations, bullying and his team of dishonest lawyers. He is very smart, cunning and knows how to use loop holes in the law when trying to take advantage of clients, customers and business partners. For those deciding to do business with LAW AND ASSOCIATES, I would strongly recommend caution. What amazes me is how he can flaunt his rich lifestyle and brag about his trips, famous friends and his large exotic car collection while stealing from the public. On the surface, he looks and acts like a legitimate and successful businessman. But after awhile, his facade fades and the real con artist emerges that has no remorse towards those he hurts financially and emotionally. TOM LAW'S ultimate goal is to get rich and he doesn't care whom he steps on as long as he can continue to fund LAW AND ASSOCIATES and his seven figure income. Recently, a member of our church mentioned that her daughter received information from WWW.HOUSINGRECOVERY.ORG and unfortunately fell for his latest scam. She spoke to Scott aka. "NICK" and was mislead, misinformed, lost monies and damaged her credit further by entrusting her desperate situation into the hands of Tom Law from LAW AND ASSOCIATES. I know that Tom Law is involved since I personally know two of his ex employees who were recently let go and decided to share some sensitive information about his internal organization of WWW.HOUSINGRECOVERY.ORG .They felt uneasy working for a United States company committing fraud and when they spoke up, LAW AND ASSOCIATES decided to fire them. I couldn't stand still any longer and decided to share this information with the general public before more innocent people got hurt. If you receive a mailing from WWW.HOUSINGRECOVERY.ORG, please do not fall in the trap set by LAW AND ASSOCIATES. Tom Law knowingly uses government icons, logos and warning messages that are neither accurate nor approved and is intended to scare potential customers into signing up with WWW.HOUSINGRECOVERY.ORG. If you are still unsure and are questioning my message, please take the time and call your local government representative to verify if you are on a "last and final warning list", have been singled out by the government, do indeed have the problems being stated on the mailing, or just do your own research to confirm that what I am saying is true. If you still are convinced that TOM LAW from LAW AND ASSOCIATES is trustworthy, then by all means, send him your money and take your chance. This is their contact information: http://housingrecovery.org877-467-**** 813.855.5443 info@***.org At least check the following links and then make an educated decision: http://myfloridalegal.com/webfiles.nsf/WF/MRAY-7DCR73/$file/LawandAssociatesComplaint.pdfhttp://www.myfloridalegal.com/lit_ec.nsf/mortgage/2FD0DEB170CCBE348525****00459DBDhttp://www.afscanhelp.com/companies/our-competitors/law-and-associates.cfmhttp://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=tom+law+and+associates+fraud&aq=&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&pbx=1&fp=9111c1d610a8252 If you have been affected, feel free to contact TOM LAW directly.
