May be same company American Law Centers

I just read a complant about a company call First American Law Centers,I think this may be the same group that was helping me with trying to save my home from foreclosure.I gave them $1789.50,and was told this would be put in an account so when the modification went thru they would make my first pay ment.They would tell me what Citi Mortgage needed and I would fax them my info.Mr Rick Lopez would even call on a weekly bases.He even told me that the sale date had been postponed,he called me on 6Dec2011.Citi e-mailed me on 13Dec telling me that they needed more papers before noon to stop the sale.I started to call phone numbers that had some were disconnected others were from other businesses located all over the States.I have e-mailed Mr Lopez,not gettng an answer.I even called a number,got His Voice mail and a second#.I left a message,the other was a none working number.The sale still happened,now I am getting all what I can to talk to the media so no one else has this happen.I do believe they are a scam.I am now trying to save my homeIf any one else has had a problem with them please let me know at smokey15netnet.net

J Kevin Benjamin

J K Benjamin and a member of his Chicago based firm also threatened me and my family over a refund dispute. I have contacted everyone and thier uncle and still no agency in Illinois will help me obtain my money that he scammed from me even though I have provided more proof that he ripped me off, lied and did nothing but take my hard earned money. Hired to do a loan modification and like a *** I listened to his so called legal advice and I am worse off than when I hired him 2 years ago. He is a fast talking Di*kh@***d and so is his staff lawyer Theresa Unkar!

Dean Chandler of 1st American Law Center and Chandler Law Group in California

Dean Chandler of 1st American Law Center and the Chandler Law Group and his partner in crime attorney Lou Bruno of 1st American Law Center may be loan modification scam artists. California attorney Lou Bruno, Dean Chandlers law partner was DISBARRED by the California Bar previously and his illegal ex felon non law illegal partner Gary Bobel of the Lead Source is an ex convict. Dean Chandler sure knows how to pick them! First American Law Center was in Oceanside California, not San Diego California, that was were they were operating with their front man Joe Kruk, or should I say Joe Crook! Joseph Kruk is a *** man, helping to delay and defraud people by stalling them into thinking they would get refunds. First American Law Center was raided by the FBI in June and the California Bar State Prosecutor is hot on the trail of California attorney Dean Chandler. Lou Bruno, a law partner with Dean Chandler in 1st American Law Center in California, and Gary Bobel and Greg Rubio, another partner in 1st American Law Center, who was a non lawyer in charge of "loan modifications" with his b.s. "underwriter" scam title, have now opened shop in Carlsbad with Dean Chandler. They just keep moving. Dean Chandler and Chandler Law Group and 1st American Law Center abandoned all their clients, cut and ran. They claim 1st American Law Center is filing bankruptcy and Dean Chandler claims the same but they have not filed bankruptcy yet. Gary Bobel, Greg, Rubio, Joe Kruk, Lou Bruno and Dean Chandler were continuing to do loan modifications under different company names and taking peoples money but with no intention of doing the work. They may be scam artists. Be careful and stay away from these men. Do not believe a word they say. A class action law suit was filed in California for fraud against Dean Chandler, and 1st American Law Center for 2 million dollars. The State of Ohio is suing Dean Chandler and 1st American Law Center. The noose is tightening on Dean Chandler and 1st American Law Center (First American Law Center) and real jail time may be coming soon. The FBI and Federal Prosecutors have not yet indicted Dean Chandler and Gary Bobel but that just seems to be a matter of time. Do not give this firm or these men your money! Federal Prosecutors have seized the accounts of Dean Chandler, 1st American Law Center, Chander Law Group, Gary Bobel and The Lead Source. Beware - be careful - and do not do business with these people.

First American Law

Does anyone know if the FBI will be contacting any of the family's which have been scammed by this group? My mother who is 82 years old has fallen victim to these thieves. She is on a fixed income and can barely pay her mortgage and utility bills. I was so angry when I found out last week,that she had contacted this group and agreed for them to deduct monthly payments which amounted to almost $3,000 from her checking account. She truly thought they would help reduce the amount of her mortgage payment. They advised her not to pay anything to hr mortgage company because they would be making the payments. they lied to her and caused her to be eight months behind. The literature they sent to mother looked really professional. Who can we contact that will be honest and helpful?

RIPPED OFF AS WELL

We started dealing with them since Nov, and spent almost 4000.00 and got nothing in return We would call, email, call, email and nothing. They would never send in the proper documentation to our lender and after all is said and done our modification was denied and we never heard from 1ST AMERICAN LAW CENTER to advise of this. They take consumers for a lot of money, make all of these promises and do nothing in return Something has to be done to stop these companies that are ripping off Americans who are already facing financial hardship and go to a company to help and in the long run, really they are doing nothing to help just making it worse!!!!

1st American Law Center Ripped Us Off

In January 2010, my family paid $3500 to 1st American Law Center for a mortgage remod. They sent incomplete forms to the mortgage company and then stopped corresponding with us and the mortgage company. We have just learned that they were raided by the FBI and all phone numbers are out of service. The lawyer and owner, Dean G Chandler has since started a new company, 1st National Law Group. He can be found on Facebook. Beware this company and the new one! They only take your money and run. We are reporting him to the California Bar in hopes that this scam cannot continue!

First National Law Group- Dean Chandler

Dean Chandler used to own First American Law Center in Oceanside. He was recently raided by the FBI, DOJ, and is being investigated for Fraud, Money Laundering for violating State law regarding charging up front fees in getting Home Loan Modifications. And now since his defunked Firm has closed he is not involved with First National Law Group, out of Carlsbad. Be WARNED! Look under " First American Law Center" and see how many pissed off consumers there are so far on complaints against him. The State Bar has also gotten several complaints against him. And the BBB has had over 129 complaints against him in the past 36 months.

F.B.I. RAID 1ST AMERICAN LAW CENTER

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and several other law enforcement agencies have raided the offices of this "alleged" loan modification company. It does appear the end is near for this group that has been stealing dreams of Americans for over a year. Dean Chandler and Gary Bobel are the major ring leaders and major culprits in this fraud. It looks like the end of another wayward modification shop, and the probable end of freedon for Dean Chandler and Gary Bobel. Federal prison is where you belong when you have lost your way, for the sake of greed. Good luck boys.

1st American ripped me off for $3000.

1st American law center is a service to help you get your mortgage payment lowered. They informed my mortgage company that they were working for me, and that was it. They never did anything else, after 2 months and almost having my house forclosed on, I finally called my mortgage company myself and made the arrangement myself. because 1st american wrote they were working for me my mort. co. had to notify them of the arrangement me and the mort. co made. 1st american tryed to take credit for the deal. They refused to send me my money.People beware, they are a rip off, and I am writting to any media coverage I can find to tell every one not to send anyone promising that they can make something happen for you with your mortgage complany. The service is actually free if you work with you mort. co yourself...don't get sucked in..The owner of this law firm is Dean Chandler.
