Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Attorney fraud

Is it considered fraud to lie about

your credentials, memberships and

State Bar associations on your

website, Martindale and the State

Bar as an attorney? These

credentials and memberships are the

reason the attorney was hired and

because of this attorney, the client

loses everything they own to him as

he defrauds them continuiously for

over four years.

Re: Attorney fraud

If the person wasn't truly a California attorney, he had no right to practice law in California -- and that is a criminal offense. As for memberships, I'm not sure what you mean. Memberships in what? State Bar associations in what?

You obviously have other issues with the attorney as well since, in your opinion, he did not properly represent you. Feel free to provide me with more information by e-mail for an evaluation.

Re: Attorney fraud

It is criminal to do so. I would need to know more about the situation to tell you more than that.
