The State Bar of California has launched investigations against attorneys for misconduct related to loan modifications. The State Bar has named 16 attorneys under investigation, by opting to waive investigation confidentiality in favor of public protection.  These attorneys have allegedly taken fees for promised services, but failed to perform those services or even communicate with their clients who face the possible loss of their homes. Their non-attorney staff may also be under investigation for unlawfully practicing law.

Not all attorneys engaged in loan modifications are dishonest. Some scam artists may intentionally associate or affiliate themselves with attorneys in an attempt to lend credence to their fraudulent schemes. The list of attorneys currently under investigation is available at the link below. http://calbar.ca.gov/state/calbar/calbar_generic.jsp?cid=10144&n=96395.

I cannot stress it enough to all of my clients and to any homeowner that may be looking to do a loan modification; you must do your homework when looking to do a loan modification. I always recommend to everyone try to do the modification yourself first. If you need guidance with the loan modifications call me first and I will give you free loan modification guidance. If you need advice please contact me anytime. I would hate for someone to take advantage of your delicate situation.
