DO NOT HIRE! I contacted Jonathan Frank about hiring him to possibly expunge or seal a record, or maybe even get it overturned. He gave me a very decent price and because I knew him personally I sent him money via Zelle. Once I finally met him at his office he googled and realized he could not (yes googled, he literally googled everything I asked about that he couldn’t answer). He offered to write me a letter to help with my current position and also another lawyer stepped in and told him he could approach the judge about another option. He said he would approach the judge and keep my money as payment towards the balance to hire if the judge approach works out and I wanted to proceed with hiring him. He never approached the judge or filed anything on my behalf. He did take a few minutes to ask the prosecutor for her advice on the matter while he was at court for someone else and that was that. I text/called multiple times regarding the matter and whether or not to proceed, and he avoided my texts/calls until I asked about my money being refunded. He basically lied about what the money was for (I have what it was for in text and recorded) and never refunded my money that was initially to expunge/seal my record or go towards a balance to hire to overturn if the talk with the judge was successful. He kept it instead for the offer he made to write a letter for me and the offer to approach the judge to see if we can do anything about my case at all and for paperwork he never filed. Totally stealing my money. He’s immoral, unethical and on top of being a liar, he’s a thief! I should’ve known better when I hired him before this for warrants and tickets I had. I sent him money for non-arrest bonds to have the warrants lifted, get new court dates and represent me in court. He told me the warrants were lifted had me meet him at court. I get there and he’s a no show. Then I find out it’s a freaking open court. I get in front of the judge who then tells me there’s no attorney listed for representation for me and all my warrants are still open and I could possibly be arrested. I’m losing it on the inside and out at this point. I ended up handling everything ON MY OWN without everything I paid him for. I took pics of the documents stating my warrants were still open and texted him furiously demanding a refund. I think the reason I was dumb enough to reach out to him again is bc he refunded my money that time and bc I knew him (or at least I thought I did). So bottom line, I can’t speak on experience or the professionalism of the other attorneys, but avoid this thieving dullard at all costs. I’m currently in the process of filing legal complaints.

Unfortunately, I have had a very poor experience with the agent listed above. Hence, I have done research to uncover the scam and fraud behind this individual, JONATHAN C. FRANK, and his affiliates (MARKELLIOTT R. JARRETT, DOMINICK GREGORY, TIFFANY A. EDWARDS, MARK JARRETT, NGUYET LEVANQUYEN, DAT T. LE, et al.), are the conspirators of the illegally operating collection agencies behind this scam: a/k/a FIVE STAR MOTORS, LLC, FIVE STAR MOTORSPORTS, LLC, CONSUMER SOLUTIONS GROUP, LLC (DBA, THE GEORGIA CONSUMER SOLUTIONS GROUP, LLC), JONATHAN C. FRANK & ASSOCIATES, LLC, JONATHAN C. FRANK & ASSOCIATES, PLLC.
This scam has been run mainly from operating bases in LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORIA and HOUSTON, TEXAS. Other know locations are in FLORIDA and IOWA and ARIZONA. This scam is operated via the online “law group”, JONATHAN C. FRANK & ASSOCIATES, (LLC) PLLC.
Although Jonathan C. Frank seems to be an attorney recognized by the Texas State Bar and Jonathan C. Frank & Associates, PLLC is bonded in Texas by WESTERN SURETY COMPANY, 3/15/2017 (date filed), Bond Number 63105865, this individual, this company and its affiliates operate by violating FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act) and the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) in order to intimidate and harass and defraud individuals into paying a “debt”, alternative to “facing arrest, actionable offenses” and other nonsense. (***EACH OFFENSE IS ACTIONABLE IN A COURT OF LAW FOR UP TO $1,000 FOR EACH OFFENSE!) This is, also, IDENTITY THEFT and CONSPIRACY.

There is no LLC registered in Texas or any other state for that matter which would preclude this enterprise from legally conducting business, which a “lawyer” should know. Suddenly they are now registered in several states:

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
