: It's (Barely) LegalIs Debt Settlement Law Firm a Fraud?
By Glen Ashman
Daily Business Review
Edward T. Kennedy is listed as a name partner at the Hess Kennedy law firm, but no one with that name is licensed to practice law in Florida. According to a recent State Bar complaint against the firm's Laura Hess, the law firm is running a "deceptive debt settlement scheme" that is long on fees and short on assistance. The law firm and related companies are targets of hundreds of consumer complaints nationally -- and the identity, whereabouts and even the existence of Kennedy are still at issue...The Florida Bar alleges Hess Kennedy's operation is "designed to extract upfront fees from financially strapped clients whether or not any useful services are performed" for them. Clients "rarely obtain debt settlements ... and end up in a far worse financial position" than before.
