Discount Legal Services Reviews

  • Jul 10, 2015

In originally dealing with an auditor who successfully sold their services to me by claiming that they had a successful legal team. They claimed that if my property is securitized (and the audit proved it was) their legal team would fight for me "quiet title" The auditing company (“the auditor”) who referred me to this ‘paralegal’ explained that the legal team's main pillars are to attack on is mortgage origination fraud, securitization fraud and wrongful foreclosure and that the legal team would even take it further and try and get me 3 times my property's value in a law suit.

The quiet title seemed enticing. Later I learned that they have no legal team and that the legal people they referred me too were unlicensed and were NOT lawyers despite the fact that I was told this particular person, Kendra Maxwell from CA, a solo unlicensed practitioner, was. I was lead to purchase a) the audit and b) so called legal services and pay separately although it was basically a package deal I was truly buying. I went in blind folded as I wanted references but they claimed people are gagged after they win a case. When I was introduced to Kendra Maxwell, as an attorney, she did not deny that she was not a lawyer. On one occasion we kept her on the phone as we were searching for my initial and very important cloud link to my files wherein I referred to her as a lawyer and she did not correct me.

Eventually she came clean when she felt she could not help me - after she reviewed my files (this took weeks and much effort on my part as she was holding me up and ignoring my case). Her conclusion was that if she was to help me I must file Chapter 13 in order for her to reopen my judgement. The attorneys I will be hiring if I can afford to based on a refund said "The only way that previous work would be an obstacle for us is if the courts dismissed WITH PREJUDICE". This means that I really shouldn't be required to file a 13 in order to proceed, although I may have to only because of the delay in discovering their incompetency. Regardless, Kendra Maxwell had gotten paid prior to anything real evaluation.

Thus, I was not properly pre-qualified nor understood what I was getting into. Despite many things going wrong the fact is that she is not even a lawyer; the auditor never told me I would need to represent myself as Pro Se. He clearly said their legal team would handle everything. The fact is that I can't use their audit when I got to seek the initial help I thought I was getting from them and their so called 'legal team'. I found the proper help but a) am without funds because they absorbed all of my funds b) came very close to foreclosure due to neglect on their 'legal team's' delays and neglect and misrepresentation - I had to write my own legal paperwork to get a temporary foreclosure stay which was a miracle from God almighty. c) the prospective new team that I am to hire will not use their audit because they say that not all audits are equal; d)

I showed the document Kendra prepared for me and I was informed that she based it all on FDCPA laws which would i) be dismissed and ii) would not help in attempting to get quiet title which is what the auditor initially told me. To be exact I quote: "...is based on FDCPA violations so it is a weak suit to see the least. You are claiming quiet title status with no support or mention of securitization issues". These people are taking desperate people's EMERGENCY funds and won't budge at taking responsibility or refunding. The last thing I needed to do was start fighting for a refund. It was bad enough having taken a chance with them, wasted my time and energy during a financial crisis and eminent foreclosure proceedings.

The auditor charged me $995 and had their so called legal team charge me separately which was $2400 to Kendra Maxwell's personal account. Kendra's initial agreement named her company as California Discount Legal Services, Moreno Valley, CA 92553. Although her document said Pro Se, I then mistook it for Pro bono and only noticed it now and not at the time of signature. It did not say that she was NOT an attorney, however. These people get people who are desperate and under pressure. I am holding Kendra Maxwell responsible for the so called legal fees as the auditor is willing to provide a refund (which is why they are unnamed) on what was paid them. She has proven to be a major rip-off as she refuses to discuss a refund or apologize for her unwarranted charges. Total damages are $3,395 but her end of the bargain is $2400.
