Too bad they are at it again. This time they are posing as Obama Student Loan Forgiveness. Too bad the feds wont but them behind bars and stop these scams!!!

Dear anonymous: But oh DLG does charge up front. I could not even retain them until the 3900 fee was paid up front. A year later I paid them another 4000 in the hope that my modification would be obtained. I know this is a year late but Truthfully yours does not know how people like you and me have suffered at the hands of this law firm. My final correspondence from DLG legal was in August-2013. In spite of delivering any services guaranteed by them they said that a refund would not be granted. They also entered a BBB response that was contradictory to my experience with them. I hope you are well now. I paid off my home so I am doing better in spite of being angry over this scam. I have talked to many of DLG clients on line who lost their homes because they trusted their promises to improve thier mortage standing. YOU are right. Truthfully yours needs to sit down and be quiet.

Dear Ms. Victors:
I truly hope all is well with you. In spite of my unfortunate circumstances with DLG Legal I am happy that somebody got over!!!!! I just received a letter from the BBB in Utah saying that Danielson has not responded to my complaint after two attempts to contact them through the BBB in Utah. I have always worked hard and payed taxes like every responsible American. I trusted and paid this firm for services they guarnteed they would render. If I did not have money saved I would have lost my home and been on the streets. Do you not understand that this is the strory of many people that have trusted them? I don't know your position. But you need to take a second look at the firm that you uplifted a year ago. Their rating is now a F with the BBB in Utah. That should speak for itself. I am happy  for whaterver reason you won. But thousands of us lost due to the misrepresentation of this firm. Can we now come live with you?

This is Joseph again. I wanted to tell everyone viewing that I have had some contact with the attorney general in my state regarding the legal practice of the firm called Danielson or DLG Legal. I am certain that due to my personal experiences with them and the reviews of previous clients that there is a problem with how they do business. Please contact your local, state, and governmental agencies about this firm advertising in your state to obtain loan modifications for homeowners. I was able to save my home. I am saddened by people who were not by trusting this firm to help them with loan modifications. They are untrustworthy. Make appropriate officials aware of this. There is power in numbers. No matter how long your case was with the Danielson Law group let the appropriate officials know. I know contacting them seems useless because so many have tried to get the attention of local, state, and governmental officials. But please continue to make them aware of this scam implemented by this firm. It has been two months now and they don;t respond to the BBB or my inquiries regarding their misrepresentation of claims to improve my mortgage loan status with my lender. I have read reports of how they have responded to previous clients. They are rude, aggressive, and say no refund will be granted. I agree with superman 123 that you should pay for services needed. But I feel that I should have gotten at least 1 of the 3 services they guaranteed. I got nothing except an unsigned letter saying my case was closed. Please continue to write and call in about Danielson Law Group or DLG Legal. My prayer is that no one else suffers in an experience with them. It is always better to work out problems with your mortgage lender. If not it may be time to consider selling your property to avoid foreclosure. Please use your pen, phone, computer, or the media to expose this firm for making guarantees that the know they can't fulfull.

I hope things are well with you. For many of victims of DLG Legal they are not. Maybe you had alot of money,  I dont know' - maybe you arent over 50 and arent deperate to save the home they have lived in most of their lives, And since you are so privileged please wrte back to let everyone know how we can be as privilged as you. Thanks Slick.

Dear Ty: This is now a year later and I feel that your story is mines. I feel your pain at the time. I experienced what you wrote about. We were able to save our home but have lost our retirement. DLG Legal should be stopped. They tooik money from us that should have been used for retirement,Thanks to you and others they now have a F rating with the BBB that should speak for itself.  Thanks for sharing your story.

I wish I would have known you when I retained dlg legal back when you wrote this message. 7,000 later I regret my association with them. Loss of money and suffered income- later I am irate over their theivous actions. Please fight for the poor working class person. They don't care about any social class. Only money. How can this be?

I'm sorry that you've have been scammed plz file a complaint with the FTC

They are still in business going under a new Web address, "www.loanmodifications.us"
Phone number: 877-332-4311 and preying on people in distress.

Also have web addresses at "www.danielsonlawgroup.com" and "www.legalmod.us/dlg"

The better business bureau provided this inf.

you're a f****ng liar! we would tell people that we've done 5000 modifications and we start 300-400 new modifications each  month. wow now you're telling people 10,000. BOTTOM LINE YOU'RE A CROOK AND ALL OF YOU WILL PAY IN KARMA

This must be Tony, you fat f***. you must be worried about dlg's future because you keep posting. i can't wait til the FBI raids your fat a** and all you piece of s*** mormons are on the news.

marcus i believe is in san diego, right, i think we should make a site dedicated to showing who really works for dlg and what they really do. if anyone is with me post a dummy email and i will contact you. lets ruin this horrible business. CHRISTY REID, YOUR FACE IS F****NG UGLY

they get their information from a marketing company that gets lists of public records for potential clients. If you have ever been late on a mort. payment they will probably get your information. it cost them $40-75 per post card with all the mailers they have to send out. They only get a 2% return on all those post cards because only 2% of callers are actually that stupid to hire an attorney over the phone. take a look at their website, you see those pictures. i know all of them personally and their paralegals aren't even paralegals, CYDNEE VANSICKLE YOU'RE NOT A PARALEGAL, HOW OLD ARE YOU? 16 ? THESE PEOPLE ARE ALL MORMON SCAM ARTIST RELATED TO ONE ANOTHER.  these call center people can't even be giving you legal advice they're not attorneys. Why would you trust your legal situation with someone that makes 10 per hour. They don't know s*** and that's why I no longer work there. short sale your home get out, fix your credit and buy a new home. its that's simple. get some $ from the HAFA program to relocate and rent a nice house, stack some paper and buy a new house.

I'm guessing you probably have an answer by now but I just spoke to a representative of DLG Legal and they are located in Draper, Utah.  Website address is dlglegal.com if you want to check it out.  Main contact phone number is 801-987-9020.

Wow. All this has been amazing to read. I was contacted by a DLG employee and told the whole story of how my home could be saved. The whole thing seemed sketchy, so I contacted the Utah Attorney General's Office. They told me first-hand that DLG (Danielson Law Group) has a cease and desist order and the case has been turned over to the FBI. So glad I never contracted with them. Thanks, all, for the insightful information.

We lost our home to foreclosure due to the same thing you went through.  we are now in the process of filing a law suit and i will file at the BBB and the utah bar association. GLAD YOU SAVED YOUR HOME.

WE LOST OUR HOUSE TO FORECLOSURE, THEY DID NOTHING. NEVER EVEN CONTACTED THE BANK AND DIDNT GIVE US OUR MONEY BACK EITHER. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF THE PLACING A COMPLAINT, BUT I WANT TO SUE FOR THE LOST OF MY HOME OF 20YRS, AND MY HUSBAND SERVED THIS COUNTRY FOR 20YRS.   WE PAID OVER 4000 DOLLARS

we are definitely suing,  they took over $4000 dollars from us and NEVER CONTACTED OUR BANK.  WE LOST OUR HOME TO FORECLOSURE

DLG is next

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah ? Federal agents swarmed a call center here and questioned employees as part of an ongoing probe into a Midvale law firm?s mortgage modification business.
The U.S. Attorney?s Office for Utah confirmed to FOX 13 an investigation was under way into CC Brown Law, which advertised itself online as helping people with debt problems. The U.S. Attorney?s Office said the business operated under ?Sentry Legal,? ?WT Lee? and ?JL Martin,? among other names.
FOX 13 was there as agents blocked off the exits to the building and escorted employees, one by one, into a command post to be questioned. FBI agents at the scene in West Valley City refused to comment.
In a statement, the U.S. Attorney?s Office for Utah said the search warrants served were sealed and no criminal charges have been filed. However, the office put out a plea for people who have been using the firm?s services to come forward and speak with the FBI.
?Individuals who have been working with the business on a mortgage modification, who would like information, can contact a toll free number established by the FBI at 1-877-236-8947 (press option 2). The toll-free number will be activated this evening,? the statement said.
?A recorded message will advise individuals that they can submit contact information and copies of any documents to the FBI by mailing them to the FBI Salt Lake City Division, attention CC Brown Investigation. The FBI?s address is 257 East 200 South, Suite 1200, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.?
?Individuals can also submit information about the company?s business practices to the FBI by e-mail at saltlakecity@ic.fbi.gov,? the statement said.
Attempts to reach CC Brown Law representatives for comment at its Fort Union offices on Tuesday afternoon were unsuccessful. A man who was seen being led into the FBI?s mobile command post refused to comment to FOX 13 as he walked to his car.
?I can?t say anything, man,? he said as he got into the vehicle.
In a statement sent to FOX 13 on Tuesday night, Sentry Legal disassociated itself with CC Brown Law Firm.
?While Sentry Legal is contracted to provide legal support services to the Law Offices of C. C. Brown, we are not, nor have we ever been, a subsidiary, principal or operated under the name of C.C. Brown,? the statement said. ?Sentry Legal is a separate company from the Law Offices of C. C. Brown. Sentry Legal has not been ?raided? by the FBI, in fact, upon hearing of the C.C. Brown news, Sentry Legal has contacted the FBI and U.S. Attorney?s Office to cooperate as needed.?
Online, CC Brown Law had numerous websites that appeared to no longer be in service. One listed testimonials, including one that proclaimed the firm ?specialized in helping people in getting loan modifications for the last few years. Several people have been helped from the CC Brown Law services and they are looking to help many more.?
But also online were numerous websites and even a Facebook group blasting the firm for its customer service and claiming it is a scam.
The Utah Division of Real Estate said it has taken action against the company in 2010. The company was fined $5,000 for advertising loan modification services without a mortgage license, state officials said.
The state of Maryland issued a cease and desist order against CC Brown Law in 2011.
Judy Driggs, the president of the Better Business Bureau of Utah said her office had fielded 55 complaints against CC Brown Law, with people claiming they had given money to the firm to work with lenders. Those people, she said, had lost anywhere from $1,000 to $4,000 without hearing back from the firm.

who can  we contact to shut these people down, the BBB complaints don't work, rip off report doesn't work, these people need to go to jail!

you will be sorry! its is  a scam! They are not trained for loan modification only how to sell to deperate people. This is only a call center that outsources their work! ask them how much the bank gets each year for doing a hamp program? They will not know, its only a few thousand per year. They will make it sound like a guarantee, it's only because the sales rep works off commission and if you're not making money they will fire you!

I am sorry to all the homeowners that I helped scam. I was not trained on the regulations of loan modifications, only how to sell it to desperate people. There are legitimate law firms, but this is not one of them. DLG has changed their name several times. They treat their clients like they treat their employees. They chew them up and then spit them out. Christy Reid, Chad Vansickle, Tony, Sean Coberly, are only some of the scam artist that are living off of people's desperation. It's all lies!!! Karma will get you! They train their employees to sell false hope and then they don't give you a refund when you're entitled to a refund. This is not a real law firm, only a call center that pretends to offer legal representation when all they do is outsource the legal work to a real law firm. This is a glorified referral service. They will be going out of business soon and will change their name again. BEWARE!

"only a  third party referral service at best" -- yep, that's what I figured and Melissa Victors is a DLG shill  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill  Not having been scammed by DLG myself, I am not privy to what the scammers tell victims on the phone, can only guess at what the scammers are up to as the scam evolved and enough details got finally posted to reveal the full scam.
"No one is allowed to charge up front home fees to distressed owners" is incorrect. The FTC's MARS rule allows attorneys who meet certain requirements to charge up front. Everybody else may not. You can read about it here  http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bus77-mortg ... es-rule-lawyers  DLG does not qualify for this attorney exemption outside of Utah and in Utah, DLG still has to meet the fiduciary duty to clients spelled out in MARS. The co-counsel-in-every-state ruse is a sleazy attempt to meet the MARS licensed-to-practise-in-homeowner's-state requirement to justify their up-front charges. Have you read page 6 of this thread where the shill "Truthfully Yours" argues that Pro Hac Vice and local co-counsels justify DLG's upfront charges?

http://realestate.utah.gov/complaints.html  this is the link to file a complaint.  Sorry I did not get back to you in July.  Danielson would not give me any money back.  I asked them for the person at my lending company these said they had been working with.  Hm guess what she doesn't exist and guess what my lender had never recieved anything from ole DLG.  I strongly suggest you file a complain through Utah Relestate they will ask you for everything from DLG scan it an e-mail  it to them. DLG is doing nothing but ripping people off write and left.  In my last post I told you I was closing my checking.  Well I did but before I did DLG made three additional attempts to take money out of the account, in addition like I said they would be calling and they did multiple times including sending me letters that my payment had been denied.  Yes DLG that is correct I slammed down my accout no more money from me.  I have saved all the phone messages from DLG on my phone and the attempts to recieve money etc. as well.  Everyone needs  to file complaints and not just through the BBB they don't investiage and take action against rip off artists like DLG you need to file thrugh Utah Relesate gov site for action and in your home state as well so others are not ripped off.  DLG had the balls to even send notices from the orginal part of the scam from CA about helpping distressed home owners.  So I called the number and they said they have the best law firm who handles loan modifications.  I asked who is that?  I already new the answer, they said DLG.  I almost fell off my chair I was laughing so hard.  Then I light into the girl on the other end and said yeah well they already ripped me off enough etc.   Funny thing is the envelopes they contunued to send all looked a little different but the same 800 number to call.   Ripp off artist.

That is the biggest lie Melissa Vicotors DLG is as illegal as they get.  After the took me for two payments of $975.00 I did alot of digging and you know what fraud, fraud, fraud.  I filed a complaint throught Utah and they sent an e-mail back asking me to send them everthting form DLG, if I had any questions call them so I did.  Guess what the FBI is after DLG and I sent them everything I had inculding the BS e-mails from DLG.  When I question Miss Brooke Furner about all the complaints she blew it off.  DLG did nothging for me and will do nothing for others they will only take your money.  They do not have attorneys in every state they are do not evern have a liscense in my home state of Wisconsin.  They are only a  third party referral service at best.  I contacted my attorney in WI and he told me the same thing.  I also filed a complaint in Wisconsin  on the rip DLG.  No one is allowed to charge up front home fees to distressed owners.  I suspect you are DLG pay off to write happy little things about DLG.  All  this happened in April of this year 2012.  I cannot wait until the FBI takes the BS artist DLG down.

Thank you for clarifying this and I still feel DLG is responding to these blog posts themselves.

Thank you.  This is exactly what DLG is doing they did the same thing the same way and I don't know whats the status of my property now.  People need to wake up and listen to us (the Victims).

Lets see how long she keep her terms.  Some people you just cant tell them anything.  We are real live consumers who are victimized by these scammmers.  She might just be one of them trying to make these crooks look goood.  They are going down.

Go to fbi cc brown and you will get information on filing a formal complaint with the FBI and pleases file with the Utah BBB if you haven't already.  These are Crooks and this scam must stop!

file a complaint at bbb.org/utahbusiness-reviews/loan...per-ut22293671.  To date they have 24 complaints.  It could be more if people who are or have been victimized will file with their State Attorney General and the BBB in Utah.
