Nevada State Bar Accuses Loan Modification Firm Of Unlicensed Practice Of Law As Hundreds Of Their Lawsuits Move Thru State, Federal Courts

In Las Vegas, Nevada, KLAS-TV Channel 8 reports:
  • First it was a federal judge, and now the State Bar of Nevada is taking action against a local mortgage rescue company. The bar seeks to stop the U.S. Justice Foundation and its president from practicing law without a license.

  • The Foundation claimed it could stop foreclosures by helping people to sue their mortgage companies themselves. Trouble is, in the vast majority of cases, it didn't work. Now the Foundation, and its president Jack Ferm, have to answer for the hundreds of lawsuits moving through both the state and federal courts.

***

  • The bar seeks a court order to stop Ferm and the Foundation from continuing to engage in the unauthorized practice of law. Ferm says that's unnecessary because he has already closed his doors.
