If you fell a victim of their manipulative shady business, file a complaint at GA attorney general office: https://consumer.georgia.gov/resolve-your-dispute/how-do-i-file-complaint.

They managed our HOA.

Absolutely shady people not to be trusted. If they manage your condo or HOA...

MOVE Now while you still can. If they have contacted, you hire

an attorney immediately, do not believe them, do not pay them, do not pass go without a lawyer. They manipulate the law for profit and will sell your property at auction without your knowledge. Numerous news team reports & documented cases of their employees buying & selling properties they forced foreclosure sale.

I can't believe they can do this and still be above ground. Search Firm online and search your name/address on county website if they have contacted you ,

The company is both the lawyers and collection firm. L&J put a lien on my home without letting me know how much I owe the HOA and the dates of the fines.

Same and harrassed me for months for their attorneys fees, AFTER I paid my HOA dues. I requested a itemized invoice for their fees, which they ignored for months.

I went to pay my homeowners dues for 2024 and I am blocked out of my community portal and cannot pay my dues, which are current, until I pay their exorbitant attorney fees. I asked for the itemized statement of what I was being charged for, FROM MY HOA, and the HOA sent me back an itemized statement dated last week with the wrong amounts on it. These lawyers put a lien on my house for their fees, not my HOA dues, in retaliation to me complaining that they were crooks. Funny thing is, the invoice I got dated today, with the fees on it from last year, totaled the exact same amount with them paying the court fees last week for putting the lien on my house.

How could I owe administrative fees for them putting a lien on my house LAST YEAR when they did not put the lien on my house until 5 days ago. Billing fraud and across state lines. Getting a lawyer.

They have lawsuits on record for violating the FDCPA, illegal billing practices and threatening and harassing collection practices. My advice, don't respond to them and get an attorney immediately.

If your Homeowner Association has hired the law firm of Lazega & Johanson to collect assessments and you are still being charged despite paying your judgment balance in full, I need to hear from you. A class action lawsuit will be formed to stop this injustice to homeowners.

hello, I am also a victim of these liars. I will surely be filing a complaint

Angelena Umz

I just got fraudulently charged by them and they committed billing fraud and I have records to prove it. It's egregiously apparent.

They invoiced me today for attorney fees I requested from 2023 and for requesting the invoice for the itemized attorney fees, they included a lien on my house in retaliation. They weren't even dumb enough to back date the invoice and they were collecting on a fixed amount in 2023.

When they sent me the fraudulent bill for their fees today, they charged me for the lien the put on my house last week but the invoice amount was the same as the amount they wanted from me in 2023. Really weird how they were charging me for something in 2023 they didn't even do until last week

Without revealing any identifiers I will vouch that this law firm is full of unethical people including attorneys and collectors who seem to be doing absolutely nothing except going on long lunch breaks according to their (often allegedly new-hired) receptionists. They SHOW no urgency or interest in receiving settlement offers and NEVER RETURN CALLS OR EMAILS!

I pray karma gets them all sooner than later!

It's one thing to be irresponsible and ignore debts but it's entirely different if you're a hard working citizen who is just trying to have a peaceful life without these vultures trying to trap you into paying them for the rest of your natural life. So terribly dreadful it is!

They have created their own Georgia Mafia right under the noise of the state attorney and government of Georgia. They are racketeering via HOA fee, fraudulent assessments, kickbacks.

They are with associations that are ignorant of their rights and the laws.

They seek out the homeowners that are ignorant, bias and uneducated and conduct illegal elections then manipulate them into conflicting roles against the Georgia HOA laws of Georgia. The FBI need to be launch an investigation into these complaints as it appears to be too many somethings is not right.

We have reviewed this complaints that and have confirmed the accuracy of the facts extremely well stated. They are absolutely correct, they are a seemingly a legally allowed Mafia and Racketeering organization under the disguise of a law firm.

Their M.O. is to find HOA’s that have corrupted, bias, and willful members of the homeowners association that they illegally put into office on the board who maintain conflicting interest. The Attorney Generals/ FBI will find they have flagrantly violated their own Declaraoand convenants.

They only used them to discrimination against those they feel threatened by or target racially. or who they feel or whistle blowers!

Nonetheless, to date nothing is still being done, this law firm continues to keep charging post judgment fees, even after the debt has been paid in full. Why is the government allowing this to continue?

How many consumers must lose their homes before any action is taken? Yes, Homeowner Associations should no longer be allowed to take people's homes away from them because of failing to pay the assessments.

GUSTAPO LAW FIRM - JONATHAN BENATOR - LAZEGA JOHANSON

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I own a home that is governed by an HOA. The home is a rental that I have owned for more than 3 years.

It is leased to an upscale executive who is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. My relationship with a past HOA member was exemplary. Now, the HOA board has changed to this little group of "small" brains with LARGE egos. They are subdivision homeowners who have apparently voted to lower the rental % and force out decent owners who rent to high class clientele.

Even their own personal homes need renovations yet they now pick on the rental owners. Then, instead of giving any forewarning of a change in the HOA rules, they pass an amendment (that I voted no on BTW) to kick out anyone who didn't file notice of a rental home. The past HOA knew everything about my rental and they have never sent me notice of the change nor can they prove they have. Benator is a complete I d I o t and also a j a c k *** not to mention the HOA members.

My very first notice was a get out and go to *** letter from Benator associated with threats and fines that were outrageous.

BEWARE of Tyson Woods in Acworth Underhanded buch of brats that comprise the HOA and low rent law firm to boot. I'm selling and getting the *** out.

Exorbitant Attorney Fees

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The Law firm of Lazega & Johanson, LLC. should be ashamed, and investigated for charging my husband extremely high Attorney Fees of Almost $2,000 to enter a Judgment for the collection of Homeowner Association Dues.

Furthermore, to add insult to injury, my husband's ENTIRE bank account was cleared out to a balance of $0 for the HOA Dues. That's right his wages were not garnished, but his bank account was instead. So, unfortunately, we now have no way to pay several of our important bills. Additionally, the checking account now has insufficient funds from debit card transactions which were processed (3) to be exact.

Why is there not a consumer advocate or someone lobbying against such despicable behavior? Honestly, is this really legal in Georgia? Do we the citizens of the United States of America not have any more rights? Are Debt Collectors given the upper hand, and is there absolutely -- no one available to assist the average American in the settlement of such matters?

How is this possible? I need someone from the Gwinnett County Court Court System to explain this to us in explicit detail. I now am revisiting the idea to leave "this country" permanently. Perhaps, we'll go to a place where a person is given rights and that someone will actually care.

Well, anyway, the Declaration of Independence states and I quote "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." So, please excuse me, if I fail to understand why we have been treated unequally by this law firm. I mean honestly, how many hours did the attorney spend in front of the Judge to be granted a FINAL ORDER and JUDGMENT? Additionally, I would be quite curious to find out what the HOURLY RATE is for legal services against poor little ole me. Therefore, it is needless to say that at the present time, I AM NOT HAPPY!

Nonetheless, It is upsetting to say, this is a situation where I feel that some shady business has taken place. Perhaps, I should have finished studying for the LSAT and went on to law school as originally planned? WOW, because it definitely would have paid off, big time for me. Honestly, when we called to make a payment arrangement, we were denied.

So, I am praying that someone will do a complete investigation regarding what has transpired, and provide me with some answers. In the meantime, I rest my case!

Signed, Mrs. M.B.A.

That’s why they are getting a class action on them. Thieves ALWAYS get busted

You name it, we want to hear from you.

I hired an attorney named Cyrus and he did nothing but take our money. We even paid off the judgement of $4,500 and nothing still has been done.

What an idiot response. Contact the Georgia Bar Association.

Go to their website and look under “Bar Rules”. Write them and CC the Attorney Generals Office. You will get a response and Lazega Johanson will HATE you. Lol.

To the fool that responded “Jesus Christ”, you are a j a c k. A.

No, I believe that God gets the last word, sorry if you are an atheist.
