Court Documents In ‘Mass Joinder’ Contingency Fee Lawsuit Suggest One
Attorney May Be Pocketing Upfront Fees From Clients Without Telling
Co-Counsels

Court documents filed in a Los Angeles, California Superior Court in connection with a ‘contingency fee’ (ie. no upfront fees) mass joinder
lawsuit on behalf of homeowners who were allegedly screwed-over by Bank
of America and others indicate that an all-out brawl has apparently
broken out involving the attorneys from separate law firms who initially
came together, as co-counsel, to represent the multitude of homeowners
bringing the case.

More specifically, the subject documents represent a motion filed by one group of the plaintiffs’ attorneys essentially requesting that the court
boot two specific attorneys from any further involvement in the case, at
least with respect to certain specified plaintiffs.

Among the concerns of the attorneys filing the request with the court is
that they have received reports from some of the homeowner/clients that
at least one of the other two attorneys is pocketing upfront fees from
them for joining this ‘mass joinder’ lawsuit without the knowledge or
consent of the motion-filing attorneys which, according to them, is a
case that is a contingency fee case requiring no upfront fees from the
homeowners.

For the court documents, see Ronald v. Bank of America, et al. – Motion
to Remove Mitchell J. Stein.

See Brookstone Law, SML and Apex Join to Protect Homeowners for a recent
press release issued by the motion-filing attorneys in this case which,
in part, addresses the racket some other attorneys are perpetrating in
connection with collecting up front fees from bankster-defrauded
homeowners in exchange for allowing them to sign up for ‘mass joinder’
lawsuits.
