I was scammed by Stanley, Morgan & Associates as apparently others have been. It's been 5 months since I was talked into sending a check for $757.00 for legal fees. My first inclination something was wrong was when I called a month later to get an update on the case, and the secretary wouldn't put me through to the "senior claims officer". She'll get back to you was the response, or she's in a meeting. Eventually they sent me a very unprofessional email asking me to follow up with a new affidavit of account. Now there phone number has been disconnected. Is there any legal recourse I can take, and what should be my first step? Thank you, Small business owner

David,

Because they are attorneys, you can complain to the State BAR:

http://www.calbar.ca.gov/Attorneys/LawyerRegulation.aspx

you can also take them to small claims court to recover your funds, and file a complaint with the BBB at the BBB Report link above!

Yes, dts has some good suggestions for you. Lodging your complain with the state bar is certainly a credible option. If they can't validate your debt, they can't keep on harassing you.
