Bud Says                         Consumer Comments Below

Virginia Beach Real Estate and Property Attorney Jef Booth has stepped up into the Rent-A-Lawyer business to replace Makel Ann Wright.  All of these attorneys are working for the criminal organization out of Buffalo, NY under the name of First American Investment Co, headed by Douglas J. MacKinnon, Sr. and Niagara Falls Attorney Rodney A. Giove. 

Booth has ZERO experience in Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) cases is/was deeply involved in handling estate and property issues, known as a Real Estate Attorney. He must be feeling the current pinch in real estate which apparently led to renting out his law license for a commission, based on debts collected by these criminal debt collectors. 

They collect on old, mostly worthless accounts bought by MacKinnon and Associates under the name of First American Investment Co. (FAIC). They manufacture bogus, phony documents and affidavits under the names and signatures of Jack Sortino and Harvey Denis who lie in their statements, pleadings and credit bureau reporting. 

Why would an attorney like Jef Booth with a clean name and reputation risk it all to link his name to this criminal enterprise?  One attorney was paid a little more than minimum wage for renting his law license to MacKinnon and his group, the others are  nothing more than pawns being controlled by their handler. 

When you are threatened by collectors representing Attorney Jef Booth do the following:

1)     Contact us for assistance and referral to a consumer law professional.

2)   Contact a consumer law professional.

3)     Contact the Virginia Bar at: (804) 775-0570

4)     4) You can file ethics charges at: http://www.vsb.org/site/regulation/inquiry/

5)     Tape all calls from Booth collectors (where legal)

6)     If you find anything on your credit reports from First American Investment Co (FAIC) contact a consumer law professional at:  www.myfaircredit.com 

 

Jef Booth may not be around for very long, he will likely join the other attorneys who ran away from this nightmare when he truly realizes what an idiot he is for getting involved, the damage it is causing his wallet and reputation. We can report that NO Rent-A-Lawyer has ever benefited from being involved with MacKinnon and First American Investment Co., what has happened in massive debts from lawsuits, loss or suspension of law licenses, bankruptcy, running away from their problems and a VERY bad and tarnished reputation in their community. 

 

In order to give the appearance of a new, clean operation, the firm changed from the Law Center to the "Law Office" and now to Credit Services, FAIC. 

CAUTION: I recommend you NEVER disclose your bank account or credit card information to a debt collector, as you risk them emptying your account, or maxing out your credit card. If you feel they are reporting on your credit bureau files in error or need assistance in dealing with them, email  the details w/your location.  Assistance and referral to a consumer legal specialist may be available.
