Also, You may have tried to find the Litigation Practice Group refund policy, but found that it is going to an error terms and conditions page.

The purpose of this article is to explain the different Litigation Practice Group lawsuits.

NAZ II HOLDING, LLC vs Litigation Practice Group

Per our understanding, this may have been one of the most important lawsuits against Litigation Practice Group.

The Litigation Practice Group PC (LPG) and its director, Tony Diab, are accused of misappropriating millions of dollars of investments made by Plaintiff in LPG’s debt resolution legal services business. Plaintiff invested in Validation Partners LLC (VP), which raises capital for LPG’s debt resolution practice by purchasing accounts receivable based on the legal fees owed to LPG by its clients.

LPG is allegedly contractually obligated to pay the fees it receives from clients to VP, which uses funds solicited from investors like Plaintiff to acquire accounts receivable. LPG abruptly stopped paying VP in June 2022 and began diverting client-fee revenue and other assets to third parties. This allegedly is an effort by Diab to transfer LPG’s revenue-generating client accounts to another entity, enabling him to expropriate the lion’s share of proceeds from LPG’s lucrative debt resolution business.

Parties

Plaintiff, Naz II Holding LLC, is a Nevada limited liability company with its principal place of business in Las Vegas. Its sole member is the Naz II Family Trust, which is organized under Nevada law, and its trustee is Premier Trust Inc., a Nevada corporation based in Las Vegas. Defendant, Litigation Practice Group PC (LPG), is a California-based law firm that claims to specialize in the resolution of consumer debt.

However, LPG is allegedly run by Tony Diab, a former attorney who has been disbarred in two states for serious ethics violations, including stealing client funds and forging a judge’s signature. Defendant Validation Partners LLC (VP) is a Florida limited liability company with members in California, Florida, and Wyoming. Plaintiff also sues Defendants Does 1 through 10 under fictitious names, who are responsible for causing Plaintiff’s damages in some way. On information and belief, each of the LPG Defendants allegedly acted in concert with, and with the consent of, each other, and each of the LPG Defendants ratified or agreed to accept the benefits of the conduct of each other LPG Defendant.

Investment Structure

According to information and belief, Validation Partners LLC (VP) started its operations in 2021 to provide financing for Litigation Practice Group PC’s (LPG) debt resolution business. LPG typically acquires clients with the help of Marketing Affiliates who find qualified consumers that have been the victim of predatory lending or are subject to claims of sizeable debt that are not legally valid under applicable law. LPG compensates these Marketing Affiliates by paying them a portion of the fees earned in the debt resolution process. LPG has around 50,000 active client accounts nationwide, which are actively being transferred to third-party entities by Tony Diab.

VP finances the relationship between Marketing Affiliates and LPG by providing factoring services and purchasing Marketing Affiliates’ accounts receivable owed to them by LPG. VP acquires funds from investors such as Plaintiff to finance LPG and the Marketing Affiliates’ operation and repays them with the payments received from LPG’s clients based on fees paid by LPG.

Litigation Practice Group’s Non Payment

This legal complaint alleges that Defendants, including The Litigation Practice Group PC and Tony Diab, are misappropriating millions of dollars of investments made by Plaintiff in Defendants’ debt resolution legal services business. Plaintiff invested in Validation Partners LLC, which finances the relationship between the Marketing Affiliates and LPG by providing factoring services to the Marketing Affiliates. On information and belief, LPG, under Diab’s direction, is intentionally and maliciously withholding money due and owing to VP and Plaintiff. Diab is misappropriating and diverting the funds LPG owes to VP and Plaintiff for his own personal use and to shield them from LPG’s creditors. As a result, VP cannot pay Plaintiff and is therefore in breach of its obligations to Plaintiff under the Agreements.

Here’s an excerpt of the Litigation Practice Group lawsuit alleging non payment.

Litigation Practice Lawsuit excerpt stating that LPG did not make a payment

Tony Diab’s Role at Litigation Praactice Group

According to the complaint, Tony Diab, who was once a licensed attorney in California and Nevada, was disbarred in both states for ethical violations, including stealing client funds and fraudulently diverting a settlement payment into his own personal account. Despite being disbarred, Diab continued to practice law through his firm Diab Law in Newport Beach, California, which was then transferred to LPG, a debt resolution practice founded by Diab. The complaint alleges that Daniel S. March, an attorney who is subject to disciplinary action and suspension in 2008, is a figurehead at LPG, which is controlled exclusively by Diab. The vast majority of LPG’s debt resolution work is done by a large team of unlicensed staff under Diab’s supervision, and Diab treated himself as a 1099 attorney for a period of time after his disbarment, issuing direct payments to himself for “Client attorney fees” totaling at least $445,000.

The complaint further alleges that breach of contract and request for damages.

MARICH BEIN LLC, vs the Litigation Practice Group, PC and Oakstone Law Group PC

This is a newer Litigation Practice Group case filed on 2/24/2023 that links both Litigation Practice Group and Oakstone Law Group, PC together allegedly as the same entity.

This action seeks to enforce Plaintiff’s rights and privileges granted by LPG and to stop interference by LPG and Oakstone Law Group. LPG allegedly offers legal services to consumers experiencing financial difficulties, and Plaintiff is in the business of servicing and purchasing accounts receivable. LPG assigned to Plaintiff the exclusive right to service all of LPG’s accounts receivable with its clients and the ownership of 15,000 to 20,000 of such accounts receivable.

However, LPG allegedly has terminated contracts with at least 25,000 of its clients and transferred 15,000 of those clients to Oakstone, a newly organized law firm. Oakstone has allegedly threatened to withdraw payments from clients’ accounts, which would interfere with Plaintiff’s contractual rights and result in double withdrawing from such accounts by Oakstone.

The actions of LPG and Oakstone allegedly would cause damage, including irreparable damage, to Plaintiff. Therefore, Plaintiff seeks recovery of damages and the court’s declaration of Plaintiff’s contractual rights and entry of orders enjoining Defendants from interfering with Plaintiff’s exercise of such rights.

Parties

The Plaintiff, a limited liability company based in New York and is suing defendants The Litigation Practice Group PC (LPG) and Oakstone Law Group PC (Oakstone), both California corporations. LPG, directed by a Tony Diab, who allegedgly offers legal assistance to consumers facing financial difficulties while Oakstone is a newly formed corporation based in La Jolla, California.

The Plaintiff alleges that LPG and Oakstone conspired against it to avoid its contractual agreements. On information and belief, the Plaintiff claims that LPG and Oakstone acted in concert, and with the consent of each other, and benefited from each other’s conduct. The Plaintiff seeks damages and an injunction against the defendants to enforce and prevent them from interfering with its rights.

This Litigation Practice lawsuit is under case 8:23-cv-00339-JWH-ADS,

Here is the full case text.

What Can You Do?

Litigation Practice Group faced lawsuits, and eventually filed bankruptcy. It appears the company offered debt invalidation, not debt relief.

If you have been enrolled in Litigation Practice Group, you account may have been transferred to one of the following entities: Consumer Legal Group, Phoenix Law, Oakstone Law Group, Greyson Law, or Gallant Law PC.

If you’d like to cancel your account with the transferred entity, you’d probably have to check your email and/or bank statement to see which entity your account was transferred to. You may have to tell your bank to stop the payment from being authorized, but in some cases, you may have to cancel your account.

    I had enroll through Coast Processing into Litigation Practice Group do the debt invalidation Program. I paid off my account in January 2023 and was receiving emails and calls from them until after several months of not hearing from them, I reach out via email asking for updates on my account and I only received emails saying they had received my message and they will contact me withing 24 hours. Well, they never did and I started to wonder when I started to received letter in my mail about my past due accounts. I started to google and looking for them and found out they had gone bankruptcy and I never received anything from them telling me about this or what was going to happen to my accounts. I would like to know what is going to happen? If my account got transfer somewhere else? If I’m getting my refund or what because I have been receiving emails, mail and calls from my creditors that I had with the LGP.

    I started with LPG roughly three years ago. I paid them roughly 200.00 every two weeks for about one and a half years. It was supposed to be for two years. They were supposed to fix my credit and lower or eliminate debts. However, they only represented me in one account, and then I needed help to get a hold of them. I found out from their lawyer, who represented me that they were filing for bankruptcy, and he wasn’t working with them. He wasn’t able to give me any more advice or information. Either way, Phoenix Law got ahold of me and told me they were taking over my accounts from LPG. They took the rest of the money for the next six months and did not represent me. I was confused. Either way, I’ve lost thousands of dollars and have been working for about two years to pay my debts, while some of the debts are increasing more interest and penalties. Over the last two years, I have filed complaints online with the Better Business Bureau and have no clue what else to do. Either way, I understand I need to pay me debts and am trying very hard to do so. However, LPG and Phoenix both should be paying me back for about 6000.00 dollars. I am a full-time single father with one income, which has to do with some of my financial hardships. This has created much unneeded and unwanted emotional and mental stress and hardships, along with unwarranted stress, increasing my health concerns.

    LPG said they could resolve my debt in 2 years. I paid LPG for 2 years in full over $10,000 and they haven’t resolved any of my debt. All they did was have all of accounts closed and collecting interest/penalties now I owe over $18,000. Now my credit is horrible. I should’ve just paid my creditors directly than ever trying to work with this terrible crooked company.

My family was grappling with the burden of credit card debt. We had explored various avenues, including debt relief companies and consolidation loans, but everything seemed dubious and left us feeling uncertain. That all changed when I came across Ascend and had the opportunity to connect with Justin. He reached out to me on the very same day, and from that point forward, things took a turn for the better.

I provided Justin with an overview of our financial situation, our objectives, and the timeline we hoped to achieve our goals within. He promptly outlined the possible courses of action and presented a thorough breakdown of our various options. What truly stood out was Justin’s approach—he never pressured me into making a quick decision. Instead, he offered me the information and allowed me to ask questions at my own pace.

Upon selecting the path we wanted to pursue, Justin facilitated our connection with a non-profit organization. Much to our delight, they exhibited the same level of courtesy, expertise, and patience that Justin had demonstrated. In retrospect, the entire experience instilled a sense of confidence within us. We now believe we have a solid foundation and are well on our way to achieving financial success!

Ben and his assistant Jeffrey from Ascend Finance did an awesome job helping me to find an attorney who could talk with me openly and honestly about Chapter 13 as an option for my financial situation. Before finding out about Ascend’s bankruptcy calculators, I was stuck on a wheel of countless offers for consolidation loans, but always steered towards debt settlement or debt management plans over and over again due to my credit score and high utilization percentage. Based on data I entered into Ascend’s calculator, Ben and Jeffrey reviewed my situation and quickly connected me with a skillful, experienced bankruptcy attorney. I finally feel like I’m on the best path to being debt free; one that will save me a lot more money than any of the debt settlement or debt management programs that other companies and agencies have offered me… THANKS Ben, Jeffrey and Ascend!!

These guys are truly a beacon for those of us with too much debt. From the start where I found Ben on the YouTube channel Ascend I have been treated as a real person by real people. Even getting a personal call helping me figure things out. I went through one of the lawyers recommended by Ascend and as of January 2nd I am debt discharged, and already have a great credit card from Mission Lane for $2000. Things are getting back into place and my life feels so much less stressful due to the weight of debt being off my shoulders.

PLEASE give these guys a call if you are even considering any sort of debt relief be it bankruptcy, consolidation, or whatever other types of debt relief are out there. I can’t thank the Ascend team enough. (I was not paid to post this, or told to do this. I am genuinely so thankful to have the help when I needed it most♥️)
