The Texas-based law firm, MMA Law PLLC, has recently submitted a Chapter 11 filing as it combats a lawsuit that alleges the firm improperly solicited claims from insurers in the aftermath of destructive hurricanes in Louisiana. Formerly recognized as McClenny Moseley & Associates PLLC, the legal firm lost its bid to dismiss the looming class action lawsuit late last month, which maintains that the firm conspired with several marketing companies to dispatch misleading text messages to residents impacted by the calamitous Louisiana hurricanes in 2020 and 2021.
The complainants in the lawsuit assert that, in the period following these catastrophic hurricanes, MMA Law took advantage of Louisiana residents and property owners at a time when they were most susceptible. The firm, they argue, sought to enrich themselves and disregarded the wellbeing of those affected by these natural disasters.
Further investigation of this case is ongoing, and legal professionals will no doubt closely watch the proceedings for any potential implications concerning solicitation practices in the aftermath of large-scale natural events.
