Kramer and Kaslow Loan Modification SCAM! calabasas, California

These jerks offices where raided last week by the State of California DOJ and State Bar. Good riddens to the parasites that ran this like an illegal gambling ring instead of actual law practices.

According to the CA State Bar press release from August 18,

"The defendants in this case fraudulently promised to win prompt mortgage relief for millions of vulnerable homeowners across the country," said Attorney General Harris. "Innocent people, already battered by the housing crisis, were targeted for fraud in their moment of distress."

The State Bar took over the practices of:

Philip A. Kramer (bar number 113969), 52, of Calabasas;Christopher Van Son (bar number 133440), 49, of Oak View; Mitchell Stein (bar number 121750), 53, of Agoura Hills; and Paul W. Petersen (bar number 170922), 51, of Irvine.

The CA DOJ got the nonattorneys involved in this scam.  According to the CA Attorney General's web site, "The Department of Justice has seized the practices of the following non-attorney defendants:

Attorneys Processing Center, LLC; Data Management, LLC; Gary DiGirolamo; Bill Stephenson; Mitigation Professionals, LLC; Glen Reneau; Pate Marier & Associates, Inc.; James Pate; Ryan Marier; Home Retention Division; Michael Tapia; Lewis Marketing Corp.; Clarence Butt; and Thomas Phanco."

The Attorney General's web site has the complaint, Temporary Restraining Order, Exhibits, and photos posted.
