I'm disgusted by this piece, although hardly surprised:
"Suit alleges Legal Aid clients were duped "
"A lawsuit filed in federal court alleges that a company that purports to offer legal services to low-income people nationwide instead preys on them.
According to the suit filed last week in Denver, all the victims had asked for assistance from Legal Aid National Services of Aurora, Colo. - or one of a dozen related entities - believing that they were dealing with a legitimate provider of services for low-income persons. Those companies and 15 individuals affiliated with them have been operating fake legal aid operations in 27 states, the suit alleges.
The suit contends that the defendants violated a slew of laws including the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, federal copyright laws, federal false advertising laws, and various state statutes, including unfair competition laws.
The victims assert that they wired money or provided credit card information up front. Those individuals contend that they received inadequate services, or no service at all, and were left to fend for themselves in court.
The suit states that individual defendants, who are key figures in Legal Aid National Services have been involved in similar scams for the past 13 years, first operating in California, then moving their business successively to Florida, Nevada, and finally Colorado....
Legal Aid National Services, also known as LANS Corp., advertises on the Internet and on a number of public websites under a variety of a names designed to induce consumers to retain their services, according to the suit."
This really makes you believe in the "fairness" of our legal system and business model, 'eh, readers?
Not me: My faith in America is already dead!
I no longer believe in ANYTHING AmeriKa allegedly stands for.
Not when we have been told lies since the day we were born!
