Bay View Law Group, P.C. Assistant Managing Attorney to Give Industry Professionals of Fast Growing Debt Settlement Sector Education on Ethical Concerns
SAN DIEGO, CA May 20, 2009 - Bay View Law Group, P.C. a California law firm providing debt resolution services of consumer bankruptcy and bankruptcy alternatives such as debt settlement and debt management, announces today that Assistant Managing Attorney Jose Angel Trejo will be a featured guest speaker covering "Ethical Concerns for Attorneys Involved in Debt Settlement" during the 2009 U.S.O.B.A. Summer Conference to be held at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago, Illinois from June 7 - 9. An application has been submitted to the State Bar of California for approval of the presentation to count as one hour toward Continuing Legal Education Credit in the subject of Legal Ethics.
The United States Organizations for Bankruptcy Alternatives (U.S.O.B.A.), a trade association dedicated to the advancement of consumer protection in the debt settlement industry, is focusing on providing compliance guidance from industry experts for its 2009 Summer Conference. Stephanie Rosenthal from the http://www.ftc.gov Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Division of Financial Practices will address conference attendees on how debt settlement firms can properly comply with FTC marketing practice standards.
Many states have passed laws restricting companies from offering debt settlement services, but in most of these states, attorneys are exempt from these regulations. As more states implement similar legislation, the use of "attorney exemption" continues to become more attractive to debt settlement industry professionals. Mr. Trejo's presentation will identify some of the major compliance rules that must be followed by attorneys entering the debt settlement arena.
"It is more important than ever before that consumers perform their due diligence to make sure they are working with institutions that adhere to the highest ethical standards within the debt settlement industry," said Jose Trejo. "The fact that the Federal Trade Commission and state regulators are increasing their scrutiny of the debt settlement industry will better serve financially distressed consumers. I am looking forward to addressing this conference as well as learning from the other speakers and attendees. If we wish to be viewed as what we know ourselves to be - professionals offering an important service to those in need - we must be honest, ethical, and professional at all times."
