United Law Group Files Lawsuit Against JP Morgan Chase and Washington Mutual

Irvine, CA and New York, NY - May 7, 2009 - United Law Group, the leading provider of legal foreclosure prevention and foreclosure litigation services said it filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California County of Orange Central Justice Center against JP Morgan Chase and Washington Mutual alleging that JP Morgan Chase and Washington Mutual made statements and recommendations to United Law Group's clients that caused undue distress and confusion regarding the services being performed by United Law Group.

Claiming tortuous interference with contract, defamation (slander) and unfair business practices (case number 30-2009 00122403), the firm contends that JP Morgan Chase and Washington Mutual representatives were aware of the consequences of their communications with United Law Group's clients, and intended the harm.

"JP Morgan Chase and Washington Mutual made a calculated move to mislead our clients in order to weaken confidence in our firm and the process," said Richard Stinstrom, Senior Litigator for United Law Group. "Damaging the reputation of another is not only unethical, it's illegal. We filed this suit to protect our clients from further harm from these predatory bank negotiating tactics."

United Law Group is seeking damages and an injunction against JP Morgan Chase and Washington Mutual to prevent them communicating directly with the firm's clients following receipt of notice of representation from United Law Group.

"The people that retain us are under a great deal of stress," said Sean Rutledge, Managing Director for United Law Group. "They are afraid they might lose their home and oftentimes we are their last hope. It's wrong for JP Morgan Chase and Washington Mutual to take advantage of that anxiety."
