Battle Creek And Kalamazoo Residents Scammed By Attorneys
Three Detroit area attorneys are now charged as criminals. They’re accused of using the very court system they swore to serve, as a means to commit fraud. An unknown number of people in Calhoun and Kalamazoo counties have been their victims. No one knows yet how many area residents are involved.
The Detroit News reports the three attorneys with the Fishman Group in Bloomfield Hills are charged with fraudulently using the state’s courts to steal money from hundreds of unsuspecting Michigan residents. Best estimates so far figure the losses at around $1 million. But it is very early in the investigative process and the figure could go much higher. Investigators don’t believe any court employees are involved in the scam.
