| Costa Mesa, California - The Law Offices of Philip A. Putman announced today that it is launching a RICO investigation into homeowner associations. RICO stands for Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations. Congress initially passed this legislation to combat the Mafia. However, subsequent case law has significantly expanded the use of the law.
Those found guilty of RICO violations are subject to treble damages.
Mr. Putman is asking homeowners who live in homeowner associations anywhere in the U.S. to forward any information to him which would show that lawyers, managers and other allied vendors have been engaged in such activities as shakedowns of peoples' homes and life savings.
In California several years ago, Melissa Colburn filed a RICO action against the law firm of Peters and Freedman. The latter reached a settlement with Ms. Colburn prior to trial, so the case never went to trial. As the settlement was confidential, no details are available.
All information will be held in the strictest confidence. Please fax, email or call with the information for this Homeowner Assocaition Investigations.
