I hired the Paul J Lucas Law Firm via employee Dave Abeling on 7-2-09 and paid in full $3995.00. On 7-8-09 I called to confront Dave Abeling about information I discovered on the internet about the Paul J. Lucas Law Firm.
KABC-channel 7 conducted a news report on their fraudelent practices where the Paul J. Lucas Law Firm failed to assit people who were desperate for home loan modifications. Furthermoremore, they failed to provide refunds as promised. Additionally, I discovered more complaints from this website and the Better Business Bureau amongst many.
Dave Abeling denied it was the Paul Lucas Law firm and said he would talk to Mr. Paul J. Lucas. He further stated he would and get back to me immediately. Needless to say, I did not receive a return call and the Paul J. Lucas Law firm was shut down by the Federal Trade Commission on 7-10-09.
If anyone is interested in complaining also about the Paul J. Lucas law firm, access the FTC website and or the Receiver Robb Evans.com.
I feel bad not only for myself, but the people who believed Dave Abeling, alledged case Evaluator and Paul J. Lucas, owner of the Paul J. Lucas Law firm.
I am strong believer in , "What comes around goes around'. There may not be justice today Mr. Lucas, but karma has a way of reminding all of us of the negativity and harm we have parted onto others. I hope no one ever misleads, manipulates, victimizes and is as heartless with your loved ones as you have been towards all of us, your alledged clients.
In any case, any ideas how I can get my money returned in full?

I too was scammed by the Lucas Law Center. I visited their offices in Aliso, CA in October of 2008 and met with Adam Zucker who was a real smooth talker. I noticed that the entire staff was very casually dressed with no one in business attire. Anyhow, I paid them $3500.00 up front and they did nothing. When Adam Zucker took my money, he advised me to miss two mortgage payments. Several weeks later there was a CNN report on Loan Modification Companies making false promises and that any employee telling a client to purposely miss any mortgage payments was illegal! I notified Adam Zucker and requested a refund. He was very apprehensive about issuing me my refund! Everytime I called him, I was always forwarded to his voice mail. In July 2010, the Federal Trade Commission shut down the Lucas Law Center for deceptive practices and appointed Robb Evans and Associates, a Bonded Fiduciary to take control of the companies assets. I filed complaints with the Federal Trade Commission and the Better Business Bureau against the Lucas Law Center. In 2011, The Federal Trade Commission won their case against The Lucas Law Center for a judgement of 6.1 million dollars. The bad news is that only about one million was recovered. I dont know all of the particulars of the case but I did speak to a representative from the FTC who was assigned to the case. My main concern was if and when the consumers who were scammed into paying up front fees would be getting any of their money back. It is still up in the air if and when any refunds will be issued. I then contacted the California Bar and filed a complaint with the Client Security Fund. I provided them all my receipts which included copies of cancelled checks to the Lucas Law Center and a complete narrative of what had happened to me. I was refunded my money! I urge everyone who was scammed by the Lucas Law Center to contact the Client Security Fund with the California Bar and file a complaint. Paul Jeffrey Lucas has since been disbarred! There is more information on the California Bar website.
