Quick Answer: Litigation Practice Group appears legitimate with licensed attorney Michael Ray Richardson representing Illinois clients, but clients should verify representation directly since Richardson operates from a virtual office and uses a New Orleans phone number. Contact Richardson at 504-756-7694 to confirm he is actually handling the case before proceeding with any debt program.
Question:
Dear Steve,
For my debt program, I need your advice.
Every weekday I read the enforcement actions, filings and fine print the outlets skip, and turn them into the one or two moves that actually improve your position — a rate worth moving for, a fee you can refuse, a deadline to beat before it costs you.
In the latest issue (Sep 16): The truck was $28,999 online. At the desk it’s $31,400. As of yesterday, the FTC says the ad was the lie.
I write Your Money Actually most weekdays — actionable money information you will not find anywhere else, and the small decisions that compound. It is free, I sell nothing, and I take no money from any company I write about.
Am I Being Scammed by Coast Processing with Litigation Practice Group? I am l living in Chicago ILL are they have an attorney they can represent if they have? Can I have their names and phone numbers?

Answer:
Dear Svetlana,
You would have to contact Coast Processing and/or Litigation Practice Group.
However, according to the Litigation Practice Group website, they list an attorney that is licensed to practice law in millions, Michael R. Robinson. Since he is the only listed attorney licensed to practice law in Illinois it might be a reasonable assumption he would be your attorney.
According to the public record of the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois, there is a Michael Ray Richardson that is in good standing as of today to practice law in Illinois.
Richardson says his office location is 444 North Michigan Avenue South Suite 1200. That address appears to be a virtual office space for BeOffice.
The attorney number for attorney Richardson is listed as 504-756-7694 so give him a call. The 504 area code is associated with the New Orleans area. But maybe that’s his cell phone number.
Once you do get in touch with Richardson, confirm he is your legal representative in Illinois and is representing you as an attorney.

Before You Sign Anything: Run any debt relief contract through the free Contract Decoder to spot hidden fees and unfair terms. Check the company’s complaint history with the Scam-O-Meter.
Compare Your Real Options: Most debt relief companies won’t tell you about all your options — especially the ones they can’t profit from. Credit counseling has a 21-27% completion rate. Settlement resolves about 1% of enrolled debts fully. Bankruptcy has a 95% discharge rate — and protects your retirement.
