DON'T USE THIS COMPANY, AS AN EX-EMPLOYEE. TRUST ME I KNOW...
Well let me first say that this place is a scam...People dont use this service, they charge you $2, 000-$6, 000 per property. Why pay for this service when it is free through your very own mortgage company. This is the Making Home Affordable Plan, (this is the Obama's Plan) and it will help lower yout interest rate and mortgage payment. It will not lower your principle amount (sorry for all those people that cashed out on there home)
United Law group will take your money and not touch your file for up to 8 months maybe even more. Then your home gets sold. Each negotiator has about 200-650 files sitting on there desk. Now do you really think they will be able to work on each and every file. Thats why every day tons of homes were sold. As for the so called negotiator handling your file, United Law hires anyone. Even people with no mortgage backround. There is no attorney working on your file. There sales pitch will say that a attorney will work on your file, and maybe even a paralegal, these are all lies. The only person that is working on your file is the negotiator. Who has way to much stress, who is angry and just cant take working at this place. All for pennies. :(
The attorney and face of this company is Sean Alan Rutledge, he just became an attorney last year. But this is the best part, The real owner of this company cant even open any business under his name. All of his past companies have been shut down because of fraudulent issues. That is why he uses Sean Alan. The real owner name is Damian Kutzner. Google his name and you will see.
Dont pay this company a dollar. They are quick to debit your account. But will not refund anything back! Must be nice for the Attorney Sean to have a brand new Range Rover, And for Damian and his brand new Mercedes S-500 and his Ferrari. And from what I saw, I think these attorney's must be on drugs. I dont think this is right for attorney's to be bumping into walls. And always rubbing there red nose's. This is what I saw.
It is a matter of time before they shut this place down..I hope this information helps...Best of luck.

Not sure what to think. We've been approached by ULG regarding our loan modification, but we refused since we have never been late on a payment and we are doing okay. However, we are not on our car loans and they seemed to have another department that handles auto loan modifications? Anyone know about this? I spoke with a Rubin at ULG and he stated they would work to lower our loan to the Kelley Blue Book value of the car, cut our interest rate from 15% to 3% and cut our payments in half as well. We have not done anything yet. Something just does not add up with other statements they made.

It shows nothing.. they use all these multiple government agencies as a SCARE TACTIC! ICE was there? C'mon is this some Drug Cartel that they have to bring 10 different agencies into a "Business" in Irvine with there guns drawn? 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!

Documents filed in BK court show that what is stated here is true.
In ULG bankruptcy CAC 8:10-bk-18945 the Chapter 7 Trustee on 9/27 filed an Emergency Motion that states records seized show:
ULG subleased a protion of their space to Damian Kutzner and Serious Pimp.
Damian Kutzner is COO of ULG.
Kutzner was paid $28, 000 per month from ULG ! "while attorneys were paid significantly less"
Trustee also states that Kutner has been removing property and has filed an Adversary case against him to get that property back.
Vito Torchia, Jr filed a declaration opposing so he is certainly part of the firm and the mess. In it he states he's managing partner of Brookstone Law, and also subtenant of ULG. So the Brookstone 1999 Avenue of the Stars adress published on the website (and at the CA bar) is not the real one. The way Vito tells it they are still doing work so they may still be filing BKs, could be doing work on ULGs existing cases. His email is vtj@brookstone-law.com.
If you were scammed by them you could try to file a proof of claim, you're probably waiting your time as there are some big state ordered fines ahead of you. Plus ULG listed a bunch of phony looking claims from a rent-an-adress in Vegas.
If you're looking for an address ... public records from Damian Kutzner 's bankruptcy 8:08-bk-12656 in CA-Cen show:
Damian Robert Kutzner
511 Cliff Drive
Newport Beach, CA 92663
SSN / ITIN: xxx-xx-9470

Kutzner filed bankruptcy in 2008 to get rid of the large judgements agaist him. I don't think it's worked because he did not get a discharge yet. As of Sept 2010 he's up for a 2004 examination which hopefully the US Trustee will finally nail down facts and assets. I don't think he ever attended a 341 meeting.
His bankruptcy is missing a lot of info that his Atty Kelly S. Johnson should have provided. Like his income for the prior 3 years is "unknown". Most assets have unknown values. Must have had some kind of income, he ran up Visa cards to over $125, 000. Johnson should be up for exam.
Kelly S. Johnson is a crook.
Please... Believe the bad things you hear. Damian Kutzner is a thief and a liar. Just google Damian Kutzner FTC and plenty of article will appear from the FTC validating what a crook he is. He is even being investigated be the FBI. Don't believe the smoke him and his firm blow. It's all a part of the games they play.
