So, today, Ms. Brown isn't answering the phone and saying she is an attorney.
I gather she got a little nervous.
They are probably reading the posts.
Here is some information.
EVERYONE THAT GETS CALLED BY THESE SLIME BALLS NEEDS TO FILE A COMPLAINT:
LA COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY (COUNTY PROSECUTOR)
In CA, the unauthorized practice of law is a crime and since they are calling from the LA Area, I would contact the LA County District Attorney at (213) 974-3888.
The DA's webpage: http://da.co.la.ca.us/
If you enter the key words in their search box unauthorized practice it will take you to several publications.
They need to put a consumer alert on their webpage about this issue.
The DA's address but the best way is probably via email:
E-Mail us directly at
[email protected].
Go to our Contact Form below and submit it if your email program doesn't work.
US mail to:
District Attorney's Office
County of Los Angeles
210 West Temple Street, Suite 18000
Los Angeles, CA 90012-3210
Telephone (213) 974-3512
Fax (213) 974-1484
TTY (800) 457-7778
(8:30am - 5:00pm M-F)
CALIFORNIA STATE BAR ASSOCIATION (REGULATES ATTORNEYS AND/OR UNAUTHORIZED PRACTICE OF LAW IN THE STATE:
You can also contact the CA State Bar Association though they won't take the information over the phone, they will ask you to file a formal - written complaint.
You can get the information for doing that on their webpage at:
http://calbar.ca.gov/Attorneys/LawyerRegulation/FilingaComplaint.aspx
There is a link for a form on the webpage to file the complaint. I'd be sure to cut and paste and keep
copies of whatever you send.
State Bar of California
San Francisco (Main Office)
180 Howard Street
San Francisco, CA 94105
415-538-2000
Complaint Line (but see above -- they don't appear to be interested in being overly helpful unfortunately): 1-800-843-9053 or 1-213-765-1200
Finally, I would call the CA Attorney General and perhaps just do one letter and put each of the organizations in the address so they all get notice that they have a problem.
When they are too busy to pick up their phone it says they are the Internal Legal Affairs and Investigation.
Send them to prison, folks.
