Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley’s Office has obtained a preliminary injunction against several individuals who represented themselves as “timeshare consultants,” for allegedly providing unlicensed legal advice. The order, granted on July 15, 2010, by Suffolk Superior Court Judge Linda E. Giles against Timeshare Advocates, My Timeshare Advisor, All Resorts Marketing LLC, Jeffrey Riebman, Charles and Valerie Whiteman, Catherine Stevens, and Carol Riley, provides a broad range of relief and prohibits the defendants from engaging in the unlicensed practice of law or any unfair or deceptive conduct related to promises to obtain refunds or cancellations of timeshares.

According to the amended complaint, entered on June 30, 2010 in Suffolk Superior Court, for an upfront fee of up to $3,085, the defendants “guaranteed” consumers who signed up for their services.

“A consumer who has a problem with his or her timeshare may contact our Office, or consult with a licensed attorney. Consumers should be wary of persons who are unlicensed to provide legal advice, or who guarantee legal results,” said Attorney General Coakley.

To recruit victims, the complaint alleges the defendants aggressively solicited timeshare owners over the Internet, by mail, telephone, and at hotel seminars. According to the complaint, the defendants falsely asserted that they were part of a legal team, and provided unlicensed legal advice. The defendants also misrepresented affiliations with the Attorney General’s Offices, and falsely asserted that they were working in cooperation with the Attorney General’s Office.

Attorney Susan Budowski from www.mytimeshareattorney.com, advises those timeshare owners that have issues with their timeshare to only deal with a licensed attorney either in their State of residence or an attorney from the State where the timeshare is located.

“A consumer can easily check any State’s Bar Association to verify a licensed attorney in good standing. The problem when dealing with a “timeshare advocacy” or “cancellation company”, is there is no regulation and it only takes a few hundred dollars to set up the company. Not to mention they are not licensed or qualified to make legal recommendations or assessments, ” said Attorney Budowski. About Attorney Budowski
