Hoffman Law Group aka Residential Litigation Group reviews and complaints

Hoffman Law group aka The Residential Litigation Group. They scammed us into giving up front $6, 000 for representation North Palm Beach Florida.

I received a phone call from a Mark Lucas from the Residential Litigation Group in August 2012 (now they call themselves Hoffman Law Group. I think they changed their name because they were getting in trouble). He clearly stated that his company and firm would be doing a action suit against banks and that i would be eligible to receive a loan modification and compensation for my banks actions against me. I made a mistake. a Big Mistake. First in believing these people against my better judgment then they say over 6 months you can pay is $1, 000 a month and you would get money back on settlement. After the $6000 up front was given to company they required a maintenance fee of $495 a month. I was told in beginning these matters usually take within 5 to 8 month to complete. That we the biggest lie in hindsight. To date we are going nowhere. They have my money up front and refused to answer my calls since October 2013 when i spoke to an attorney from the office and told him i want to discontinue being part of the settlement. I was told " We would do it pro bono ". I said no. I had received foreclosure papers last February and called the company ... I needed to respond within 20 days or else the judge would sign onto the default. I had to file the papers myself because they took so long to act on my behalf after saying before they took my money that they would provide representation. I have now received the loan modification through my own work. I did not have this company do anything for fear they would screw it up. I have been asking them for my money back that i laid out. I said.. " Please return the $6000 and i guess you keep the monthly maintenance fee of 495 per month times 7 months. To date i have not received a reply. I was told it might take a couple of weeks to put file in order. I am waiting over 2 months and I’m sure the legal fee to leave the firm will negate any of the money i have coming back to me.
Please be careful with sweet talking people from these kind of firms..

I worked at this company, The owner is a Crack Addict. It is a room run, by seedy business men. They have felons who work on the phone. They collect a 6, 000.00 Retainer claiming to enter you into a federal Lawsuit that will keep you from being foreclosed on. Todd Berkley who currently has A warrant in Baltimore for stealing and selling his moms jewelry is now on probation for drugs. They allow these people to get on the phone and talk people into signing a Retainer. Todd Berkley, as well as the rest of the management team abuse prescription pain killers. They sell medication as well as other illegal substances to other employees. They also go by Residential Litigation Group but they keep changing there name so they don’t get caught.
They have a meeting everyday to get 50 accounts a week, The managers encourage the employees to con people into this claiming all sorts of Debt Relief on their home.
They Run advertisements claiming to be part of the Obama Program, than bait and switch people into this client attorney phone call. They do not have telemarketing licenses, and put someone who is there for the first day right on the phone.
It is a boiler room, and full of people who are not qualified to handle the scam. If you met the real Mark Hoffman, and saw the real Todd Berkley you would not give them a penny. Every time they get a new account they laugh and make fun of the new client. It was the most American Greed style office I have ever seen.
If you have given them your money or your routing and account number, file a complaint with the Florida Bar, Florida Attorney General, and the Federal Trade Commission and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau so you might have a chance to get your money back. Its your only hope.
