In an unfolding legal battle, Ford Motor Co. has filed a lawsuit accusing several lemon law attorneys in Southern California of orchestrating a wide-ranging racketeering scheme. The allegations target the Knight Law Group, the Altman Law Group, and Wirtz Law, asserting that these firms engaged in a decade-long practice of billing “phantom legal fees” and misleading judges in numerous lemon law cases. Ford contends that at least 50% of the estimated $100 million billed by these firms over the last ten years was fraudulently inflated. This case also involves claims of mail and wire fraud under the U.S. Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. For further details, the case specifics are documented in Ford’s lawsuit filed on Wednesday. More information can be found through the original report.
