Payday Loans and Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorneys

Posted on: July 25, 2011 at 8:52 p.m.

If you live in a certain part of Los Angeles, or if you have had hard financial times, you have experienced using a Payday Loan company. However, these companies may soon need Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorneys to help protect them against new laws and scams. Recent federal investigations are impacting the legal future of payday loan companies. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ordered a company in Redwood City to pay almost $5 million for deceiving hundreds of thousands of payday loan applicants in paying for debit cards according to the Los Angeles Times. The company offered websites which offered to connect people to payday loan companies. They wound up signing up for debit cards and paying roughly $55 unless they checked a specific box. This is just one of a few white collar crimes that have come under heightened scrutiny of late. Companies all across the south land will be scrambling for a skilled Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney to represent them should they have to face state or federal charges for money laundering, unfair business practices or something similar.

Another example of borderline business tactics comes from the housing industry. The Better Business Bureau is warning consumers about searching for rental homes online. Scammers are now posting fake ads on Craigslist, trying to get people to pay deposits for houses that they do not own. These scams are often run by people who claim to be "out of the country" and do their best to take the money and run.

In yet another example, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is hunting for a La Habra man accused of defrauding a couple in their 80's out of almost $5 million. The man faces multiple counts of wire fraud when he duped a couple into believing they were investing in a technology that would extract gold from abandoned mines. He was arrested in 2009 and used the couple's money on his own finances, including alimony and child support payments. He failed to appear for a hearing in June and has a trial scheduled for September.

In any of these cases, having a skilled Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney can lead to lower, if not zero, jail time as well as a more lenient financial fine. Instead of paying millions of dollars in penalties, the overall judgment could be lessoned. If you need a skilled defense lawyer, contact Kestenbaum Eisner & Gorin, LLP today by calling 877-781-1570.
