Brown and his wife Helen E. Gross Brown. Their ads make a big deal about having lawyers on staff within their organizations, housed at their offices. They don???t. They simply hire lawyers occasionally like anyone else.
However they falsely assume the lawyers identities by representing that each lawyer they hire actually has his law office at their address. Of course the attorneys already have offices for their practice in other cities many miles away. This fundamental, structural con means that every time a client, debtor, attorney or court writes, emails or calls directly to what they think is the named attorney, only the Browns see the correspondence and may respond as though they were the attorney without the actual attorney ever seeing a thing (or getting paid to do it).
This is all completely fraudulent and violates several state and federal laws, and Bar Association restrictions against falsely representing oneself as an attorney and member of the bar. The California State Bar Association and the Los Angeles County Attorney General have each been informed of this practice, yet not a finger has been lifted.http://www.collectorsexposed.com/forum2/Smileys/yarex2/lipsrsealed .gif
Their favorite con however is one they learned from Helen???s father who was temporarily disbarred for the time he got caught. It involves collecting judgments for clients that have recently won court cases, or large business to business collections. Once the Browns are chosen to collect, they have their clients sign ???routine??? documents which among other questionable arrangements grant the Browns their client???s power of attorney.
Jordan & Deason once hired the Browns to collect a $360,000 judgment for a 16.6% commission. The amount was necessary to recover and pay ongoing medical costs resulting from an accident. The Browns indeed collected the full $360,000 and more by forcing the sale of the judgement debtor, an older woman???s house. However, they reported to their client that they only could get $250,000 for which they would take their commission and after manipulating the accounting to hide the extra funds, they kept their commission plus $110,000 of gravy for themselves. ht tp://www.collectorsexposed.com/forum2/Smileys/yarex2/huh.gif
There are several other cases with a similar story, or about repeated blatant violations of the FCPA by the Browns. The cases read like a bad detective novels where the villains repetitively just wouldn???t tell the truth even if their mother???s lives depended on it.
This pair has been taken to court by numerous parties. A partial list of suits against them, just in federal courts, are listed below. There are many more at the state level, mine included. These few ???pigeons??? were brave enough to fight it out in court. Each of them likely represents a dozen or more others that were conned by the Browns, but never complained.
My question is why does society allow such scoundrels to roam the earth freely even when their high-jinks are repeatedly proven in front of judges in civil court. Where are the prosecutors? http://www.collectorsexposed.com/forum2/Smileys/yarex2/embarrassed .gif
In California you can be sent away for life for committing ???three strikes??? and those strikes can be for stealing a blanket or piece of pizza. Certainly most strikes involve less than a few $ thousand in damage, or are victimless crimes. Yet these people continue to con others for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Browns recently declared bankruptcy, with around a $ million in debt, but due to seven counts of fraud and abuse related just to their conduct in relation to those hearings, the bankruptcy court refused to grant any discharge of their debts. I wonder why they didn???t just invite the Attorney General to read the record? Isn???t the number seven (times dozens) greater than three?http://www.collectorsexposed.com/forum2/Smileys/yarex2/undecided.gif
