@Lunas, on my retainer agreements its the last line on the last page. You’re lucky if you got an agreement not stating it then that means he broke the law because he’s supposed to state whether he has it or not. Its on the last page where my husband and I signed and where Zach was supposed to sign. The very last page. My agreement was from this year. I believe the law was passed in 2008. Avvo keeps rejecting my review. I’ll keep trying to submit one.

@evilesq..Thanks a lot for your insight…Its greatly appreciated

@idunno—Where in the retainer does Zach disclose he doesn’t have insurance???
If he doesn’t have it„it has to be disclosed to us as clients on the retainer agreement…
You can still go after the unearned fees through arbitration and/or state fund…but him having E&O insurance would be even better…I know for us in RealEstate we are required by CA to carry E&O up to 1 million dollars..Thats why I thought I would ask„,And I was told by a legal source that if Zach didn’t carry E&O insurance CA law requires him to disclose that to us on his retainer agreement..

i just checked my retainer agreement and it says he did NOT have insurance. Does that mean I can’t recover my unearned fees?

@The Luna’s I’m not a CA lawyer so don’t construe this as legal advice– the only legal advice I give is that you should definitely find a CA attorney to advise you. Try: http://avvo.com or check the CalBar site or your nearest bar association for legal aid). With that disclaimer, I believe mediation would probably be quicker and b/c of Gonzales’ status with the bar is tenuous the deck probably wouldn’t be stacked against you. The flip side of this of course would be that you might be giving up the potential to to recover consequential and punitive damages. Again, I strongly suggest you find an attorney to at least discuss this with. If you decide to proceed in pro per (i.e., represent yourself) maybe you can find an attorney that will support you in that role.… some will.

I’m not certain but I don’t believe CA attorneys are required to carry E&O or malpractice insurance. However, I believe there was a rule adopted by the Cal Bar last year requiring them to disclose whether or not they are insured. Check the Cal Bar site for the rule and the date it was adopted also check the retainer agreement you signed with him and see if he mentions his insurance coverage. Of course if he was obligated to disclose that and didn’t, you should bring that fact up to the Cal Bar.… also you might inquire of the Cal Bar investigator whether or not they’ve determined if Gonzales has insurance.

@EvilEsq.…i dunno made a good point do you think it’s recommended to file for the state fund and to do the arbitration?? I’ve already filled out both forms„I thought I would check with you first…Also don’t attorneys have to carry E&O Error and Omissions insurance for cases like this..If so how do we find out if he carried that???

@MustPAY…Your contract was with PLS so of course you don’t understand why we would be upset with Zach…As a BK client we were contracted with Zach for HIS services…We don’t even know who Sam is…SO I guess YOU should go after PLS but in Our eyes Zach cannot hide behind the modification scam that yes HE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON„„thats why he wanted in on it why not he saw others around him getting away with it..But like said earlier in the post you swim with SHARKS your going to get bit„,Something must of happen with the PLS and Zach for PLS to refer a new attorney to clients..were not hearing the whole story all were hearing is Zach was the victim of PLS that none of the cases were his fault„do u see how ridiculous that sounds..

@Justice I’ve spoken at length with Nasir Pasha. He doesn’t do mortgage modifications, he is a corporate attorney and does some litigation against attorneys who screw clients, opposing parties, etc. I know of no one who has used him so this is not an endorsement but I am aware that Pasha went after Mark Shoemaker, Esq see: http://evilesq.com/loon I strongly suspect that the comments left on the Rip Off report site are fake and were made in retaliation by mortgage loan modification attorneys to besmirch Nasir. Again, this is not an endorsement but I’ve found him to be straight forward and accommodating. If you call him, I believe he will try to assist or direct you to resources.

At this point, everyone should check out their sources. Here are some complaints on Nashir Pasha online. Do your homework:

@mustpay –Everybody got screwed…not just loan mod clients. Bottom line is he did very poor and dishonest work for his bk clients too. Although I am sure loan mod clients may have suffered some of the biggest losses.

@Mustpay, well that doesn’t explain the email Zach provided to the clients. He said he would forward the files to a another attorney but he is supposed to give them back to the customers. Also my checks were made payable to Zachary Gonzalez not jeff and sam. Not to mention he’s been barred from practicing law.

I know the company and employees very well.
Well first of all Pacific Loan Solutions(PLS) was ran by Sam Ismail and Jeff Torrez,
Zach was their attorney they hired, he worked for them. Jeff T and Sam Ismail took all the money, they are the ones we should be suing/going after. They have our money. Unfortunately Zach and the other people mentioned in here, are just employees (someone asked if Jeff T and Jeff H are the same person, they are not Jeff T was the owner of PLS and Jeff H just worked for them all). I am trying to find some updated information on Jeff T and Sam. I had seen and found out that Jeff T had his own company in corona called John Towers Reality, but i can’t find anything on them anymore. Does anyone have a updated address for those two, I am going to sue and want them to get served.
I saw that Sam also had shut the doors to his location too. Does anyone know if he has reopened in Anaheim like someone posted? (if so what’s the address).
I know that Zach left PLS because of what was happening to his name and some of the clients and he stared doing BK’s and than i found out he was fighting to keep his license because of the Modification complaints (mine included). Now i guess some of the BK costumers are left without an attorney because of the suspension. I fill badly that our complaints made you lose out on your bankruptcy case but I’m sure you understand why we made are complaints know to the board.
But we (modification customers) all need to start looking for Sam Ismail and Jeff Torrez to get our money back.
They took my money and ran. If anyone has some new updated info on them please provided. I was told once by Sam that he lives in Lake Elsinore but that’s as much as i know.

Well I’m just gonna file the attorney complaint form and hope the Commission for the client fund sends me a form to apply for the fund. Can’t afford the time or money to do an arbitration hearing. But those who can have a good chance of winning because Zach probably wont show. I hope my review for Zach on Avvo gets approved so nobody else gets suckered if in some way he’s able to practice again, God forbid.

Oh ok, i just spoke with lisa. Luna and angry you guys plan to take him to fee artibitration. Its like court? Settling with a mediator right? I think you have to pay for that, thats what it looks like. I might think of doing that later on. I’m still stressing over how I’m going to get the funds to get a new lawyer. But if you win then Zach has to pay you out of his pocket right? Then can you still qualify for the client fund?

@Angry, i feel so sorry that you had to face the creditors alone. I have a question for you. Why did you send a copy of the arbitration file to the state bar? Did you attach it to the attorney complaint form? I am sending a form in today along with the copies of my payments. I have to send that first before applying for the client fund. I think thats how it goes. I am not familiar with the legistics of law, court systems/proceedings etc. I would have never known about the attorney complaint form had I not stumbled into this forum. @Luna what did you mean by ‘send him to arbitration to dispute’? Are you planning to sue Zach or is that part of the procedures to get your information back from him? Looks like i have some more leg work to do to help my situation. I feel like more of a fool seeing that some people here paid Zach in August and got more response than I ever did. I paid him in full in May 2010 and I never got a phone call back since that day. Since some here got an actual email from him, I think I was dismissed as a client after that. Or lost somewhere in the move because I was with them when they were across the street. Who knows. I appreciate everyone sharing their experiences and info here it has helped me greatly. I am looking into hiring Tim Combs, thats if he’s willing to take my case, I am really messed up.

@Lunas I called the number for the Riverside Bar and spoke to lisa.She was very nice and I explained to her what happened.I printed out the Arbitration file and mailed it out,along with the State Bar of Ca today.Thank you for that info!
@i dunno,The meeting of creditors was scary,because we knew Zach prob didn’t do any of the paperwork,just the application was faxed that we filled out ourselves.The creditors don’t care if you got took by your lawyer,they want their money that is owed.I had to get some balls and tell the trustee what is next.Of course he answered,“you need a new attorney and quick“Basically everyone,Zach really messed us up.Tomorrow we are meeting with our new attorney and we told him about what happened.He asked me if we had our paperwork from the last filing,I kept thinking to myself(Damn Zach still has it!)I told him we didn’t.He told us we have to start fresh and he we will deal directly through him.I checked on the State bar of Riverside and Ca,he has good reviews.Here we go again into the depths of sea.…After we finish filing,we are going to pursue against Zachary and his law firm and of course PLS for damages and whatever else I think of..Don’t
give up the fight!Oh and I sent a email to Zach asking for my files back.I can’t believe he has our tax returns,SS#s,Mortgage statements,pay stub copies..Everyone should go to the office building and check the trash..
@i dunno,you don’t need a lawyer in the creditors meeting,but I would tell you its better not having to talk to these people..At least I can say I made it to the meeting that is so worrisome and dreaded by many..It was like swimming in the sea with big sharks waiting to bite.….….

@Trock

You are right, the only way to obtain justice against attorneys in California is to do it yourself.
