Earlier this year, a lawsuit was filed against me for a fraudulent commercial loan taken out in my name by a person I had once considered family. I was devastated upon discovering my identity had been stolen (which is a nightmare in itself), and then was being sued by one of the banks for a fairly significant amount of money. The bank had hired Federated Law Group to collect from me through litigation. I had sought legal advice from a local attorney in Boca, and was told it would be $7,500 to simply "start" helping me clean up the mess. Because I couldn't stomach forking out that kind of money, I sent written notice of the fraud to Federated Law Group, although I expected to be ignored and in a civil nightmare. To my surprise, I was personally contacted by the owner of Federated Law within minutes. By the end of my conversation with him, for the first time since the theft took place, I started to have a bit of peace of mind and believe everything might actually be ok. As a single mother, business owner, and new home owner, fighting a lawsuit was the last thing I had time or energy for. Aaron, the owner, went above and beyond what any righteous person would have done to resolve and help me to clear my name. He was compassionate and sensitive to the situation, but still able to balance his fiduciary responsibilities to his client without making me feel further threatened. He was the first to give me peace of mind regarding the situation and was a reminder that there truly are caring, genuine people in that industry. Because of his involvement and care, my experience, although starting off as quite a mess, actually ended up being pleasant and restored a little more of my faith in humanity. read more
