FTC sends payments to Lanier Law customers

The FTC is sending payments totaling more than $222,000 to 322 people who lost money to the Lanier Law mortgage relief scheme and filed a valid claim before the deadline.

The FTC sued Lanier Law, its owners, and several related companies, including Surety Law Group, Redstone Law Group, Fortress Law Group, and Liberty & Trust Law Group of Florida. According to the lawsuit, the defendants falsely promised to help homeowners prevent foreclosure, modify home loans, and lower monthly payments and interest rates. They collected fees from homeowners but didn’t provide the help they promised.

As a result of the FTC’s lawsuit, the defendants were banned from the debt relief business, and the owner Michael W. Lanier was disbarred.

If you get a check, please cash it within 90 days.
