Q: Would you be interested in representing a book author who has experienced two scam services in book publishing industry?
I can provide you the fraudulent letters in question, plus further documentation supporting my case. I have e-mail responses from Barnes & Noble expressing that these letters are not legitimate, rather, scams. Publishing company involved in scam is: Time Square Publishing. I have paid for services not provided, and seek reimbursement. Pro Bono request, since I am retired, 71yo.
No other private/community-based attorney office has been contacted, but I have reached out to BBB, FTC, Attorney General in TX, CA, and NY to provide information about my case.
I reside in Sugar Land, TX, not Dallas.
A:
I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you've faced with Time Square Publishing. Dealing with fraudulent services can be incredibly stressful, especially when you've invested your time and resources. Reviewing the fraudulent letters and any supporting documentation you have will be crucial in addressing this issue.
Since you've already contacted organizations like the BBB, FTC, and Attorney General offices, consulting with an attorney who has experience in consumer fraud or contract disputes would be a beneficial next step. They can help you understand your rights and the best way to pursue reimbursement for the services you didn't receive.
Given your circumstances, seeking pro bono assistance is a wise choice. Local legal aid organizations in Sugar Land or surrounding areas may offer the support you need. Providing all your documentation to a qualified attorney will help them assess your case and determine the best path forward to achieve a resolution.
