Embezzlement of Client Funds
I hired Anthony Paul Cara of Consumer Defense Law to help prevent foreclosure of my home during the pandemic while battling cancer. I was referred to Cara by NACA Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America. I never met Cara in person that was my first problem. When I first spoke with Cara on the phone, he was quick to notify me that he would be charging me 33% to collect my surplus funds on my behalf which only required my signature to receive the funds. Thats right I sign my name on the Surplus Fund Documents and Cara would collect 33% of my foreclosure proceeds but Cara highly incompetent could not even complete the task. After paying Caras retainer fee, he then proceeds to waste my time: by not responding to my messages, not responding to opposing council who was ready to negotiate and return my keys to my home, he filed my case in Superior Court that was not specific to the facts of my case, then proceeded not to serve anyone with a subpoena, then after I fired Cara he dismisses my case without my permission, then he continues conspires against me with disbarred attorneys Dave Kozich BAR# 102765 and Eyad Yaser Abdeljawad BAR #308427 helping them embezzle $190,000 of my Surplus Funds, not to mention NACA did nothing to help resolve the issue.

They gave me the BEST advice!
This firm gave me their collective best advice. It was advice that did NOT make them any money. It was the best and correct course of action for me. Again, they did not advise an approach that put them in the position of making money on my case. I think that says it all when an attorney gives you advice that is best for you regardless of whether or not it makes them any money. To be specific, had we gone ahead with a preliminary plan they stood to make $21,000. They gave me advise that saved me $20,000. in legal fees. Brian Walker was my attorney and I am grateful beyond belief for his honesty and help. Tremendous human being.

Thank you Thank you so much Consumer Defense Law Group for all you have done. I had been trying for 2.5 years to get a loan modification. While dealing with the back-and-forth with my lender, they decided to foreclose, (which is totally illegal if you are "working with a client on a mod") I did my research, and interviewed 5 different law firms. I decided on CDLG after speaking with some of their staff, and my decision was confirmed. What a down to earth, genuinely nice staff, super knowledgeable and someone that will do whatever it takes to make things right. Immediately they went to work and filed an injunction and eventually got the foreclosure cancelled. The lender agreed to consider my case for a modification. Their staff worked diligently with me for almost a year. All I can say is if you are in the position of possibly losing your home, call Cdlg, they are the best. I would be Homeless if it were not for them!

Consumer Defense Law Group is great
Consumer Defense Law Group is great. I was very worried and stressed about having to file and they made sure to calm me and educate me on every step we would be taking in the process. I would definitely recommend them for all your bankruptcy problems.

Thanks
t makes me sad to see this poor review! Consumer Defense Law Group saved my house twice. And they are helping me again! My experience has been nothing but good from 2019 until now. These people know their stuff. And they do what they say they are going to do. They know the rules and they do this daily. These mortgage companies are bullies and you need people like CDLG to help.

Help with Foreclosure
Highly recommended!! Consumer Defense Law Group office was a lifesaver for my family! They helped and supported me throughout the entire Foreclosure process. I saw so many bad reviews about them and was scared and unsure of my next steps. My fear was gone when I came into their office after seeing their great teamwork. They offered me a piece of mind and reassurance and suggested that I should not lose hope. Foreclosure is an unfortunate process to have to rally through, but if you have the right support and guidance, you will make it out just fine. These guys know their stuff! They made this stressful situation go away quickly! Im so grateful!

Failed to preform as advertised and they contacted me through a relative aware I had a legal issue involving being grossly harmed in a recent all cash deal for a resi single family home purchase
Absolute scam. Insinuates they will work in customers best interest. They took a legal situation with multiple issues; all cash buyer purchased a home in S.D. County upon moving in discovered rodents infestation & electrical hazardous conditions, foreclosure became a factor after duped into a fraudulent loan & eviction scam of landlords and real estate brokers that our Insurance Co had insisted we use their vendor for location of temporary housing (we just moved here)! This is part of our Schedule D Loss of Use portion of my homeowners policy when a specific claim was filed for water overflowing the basin in bathroom. This Insurance group flagrantly misused our housing catastrophe monies to their financial advantage. NACALAW CDLG are not who they present themselves as in field of study, law, and services. They charged $6000 to halt foreclosure on a home I paid one lump sum of $876,000.00 (eight hundred and seventy six thousand dollars)! The fraudulent loan was created around this dwelling and since it was a home that should have never been listed because it was not up to CODE and realtor group knew and went out of there way to hide this fact and we in a legal matter they took advantage, stating they would help with this. The main issue new and pressing in real-time is impending foreclosure brought forth by this new and additional group of predators a brokering lending to bridge funds fans time because the Insurance had not done one thing to assist client in full faith and diligence regarding home just purchased. Vendors allowed to use the insured policy funds to pad their pockets, empty mine and now wants me to pay more out of pocket for lodging. I have already spent s 10s of thousands! Yes, me, pay for overpriced lodging approved by Insurance Companies preferred Housing Relocation Specialists. The People representing themselves as ethical lawyers who abide by the legal system, law and are sworn to a oath of minimally fiduciary duty, and have taken a live scan are criminals. Peter Nissan has been disbarred as of early 2022 and T. Cara , P. Abad, J. Chavez to name a few have all misrepresented themselves, their intent, etc. They combined 2 of the cases without advising and wasted copious amounts of my time with interrogatories that made no sense because the names, co names and times didnt not fully apply, not even close to the case it was required for, it was dealing with brokers and investment group parties we had never even heard of but were lurking behind the scenes. This was strategy deployed to frustrate and buy time, hoping we would quite pursuing vindication for myself and family and legally being made whole again. I found my house was foreclosed on via the internet and phoned them! They acted as though they new nothing about it, fired someone in their office and proceeded to make attempts to promise the unlawful foreclosure we paid them to prevent could be rectified and that they would be representing us that Cara would directly oversee these legal matters. No Cost at all because of their negligence.They lied, and one blames the other, but their main goal was to get what we never knew existed, the surplus check. We didnt even know about such a thing! A anonymous caller tipped us off, I guess something in the system regarding the home and its status being in the hands of a new group of fraudsters involved. Now the creditors, Kimball Tiery & St. John Law are suing me twice, 2 lawyers same firm, RELPH and Garcia on same address eviction, past due rent, they got a unlawful detainer by public notice and never provide court dates and times to their advantage,even omitting pertinent documents that are a addendum to the lease agreement. They all appear to work on the same side, hand in hand, working against what they call a client, who they pick apart in the string of Economic Crime they charge money up front, rely on Internet, Computers, Texts, DocuSign, Mobile Notary, process services who lie and falsifying actual times of service, little legal work of any use, much time spent damaging clients ability to stand upright. They knowingly blame the last outfit involved in matters at hand, even in writing for client to see, while pressing upon their ability to remedy a legal matter to the clients best satisfaction then disappear when confronted or simply do not respond or response isnt applicable to clients request, their pleas for clarification and or assistance in what to do in completing mass amounts of paperwork presented by opposing parties, threatening and collecting sanctions imposed on me earlier in this catastrophe and The CDLG/NACA had me file a bankruptcy. Why? They indicated strategically this was a method used. All is now in the hands of the BAR for review as well as S.D. investigators.
