Diamond Resorts May Continue Litigation Against Carlsbad Law Group and McCroskey Legal
“Diamond Resorts®, a global leader in the hospitality, vacation ownership and entertainment industries, announces another legal victory in its lawsuit against Pandora Marketing (d/b/a Timeshare Compliance), Intermarketing Media (d/b/a Resort Advisory Group), Carlsbad Law Group (including Slattery, Sobel & Decamp, Del Mar Law Group, and Sean Slattery), and McCroskey Legal (including Unlock Legal and Miranda McCroskey). A California federal court recently denied the majority of Carlsbad Law Group’s and McCroskey Legal’s motions to dismiss the claims leveled against them by Diamond, allowing Diamond to proceed against these timeshare “exit” lawyers for contributory false advertising under the Lanham Act, violations of California’s Unfair Competition Law, civil conspiracy, and aiding and abetting Timeshare Compliance and Resort Advisory Group’s tortious conduct,” releases Diamond Resorts in their News Releases.
“Diamond’s lawsuit details the nationwide consumer scam perpetrated by Timeshare Compliance, Resort Advisory Group, Carlsbad Law Group, and McCroskey Legal. Timeshare Compliance and Resort Advisory Group lure timeshare owners into paying exorbitant upfront fees for timeshare “exit” services, and then assign the owners to Carlsbad Law Group or McCroskey Legal, law firms that merely procure forced defaults on the timeshare contracts. Instead of providing legitimate services, Carlsbad Law Group and McCroskey Legal, with help from Timeshare Compliance and Resort Advisory Group, mislead timeshare owners, delay service to induce additional upfront “exit” fees from owners, and then encourage nonpayment on the timeshare contract. This results in defaulted contracts, damaged credit, and tax liabilities for the timeshare owners.”
