Dozens Air Out Grievances Against Southern California Attorney Accused Of Pocketing Thousands For Mortgage Litigation Services & Leaving Them Hanging

In Glendale, California, the Glendale News Press reports:

• Dozens of homeowners claim they paid for loan litigation services with Los Angeles-based Bander Law Firm and never saw any legal action taken in their cases, causing some homes to foreclose. The homeowners gathered Saturday for a news conference inside a Glendale Days Inn Motel banquet hall, where several signs calling for attorney Joel Bander’s disbarment lined on the walls.

• [H]omeowners at the news conference called on attorneys who are suing the law firm to give them advice on their next move. “You guys have been cheated in the worst way that I could possibly imagine,” attorney Anne Singer said. “Going to a lawyer, asking for help and not only having your money being taken away from you, but many of you losing your homes, and from what I understand some of you have been put in bankruptcy without your knowledge.”

• Montrose attorney John Miller represents 20 clients who sought help from the law firm. He filed a complaint, which is still pending, with the State Bar of California against the law firm in September, said Singer, who spoke on behalf of Miller.
