Whether you were seeking debt relief or legal assistance, this unexpected change may have left you with many unanswered questions. It’s understandable to be concerned about what happens next and how this could impact your financial situation.
In this article, we’ll explain why Litigation Practice Group has closed, what these new law firms do, and most importantly, what options you have moving forward. If you’re facing financial difficulties and aren’t sure where to turn, know that there are solutions available to help you regain control.
What is Going On with Litigation Practice Group?
Litigation Practice Group, also known as LPG, was a firm that specialized in debt relief, bankruptcy, and litigation matters (such as civil, commercial, and real estate). On LinkedIn, LPG promoted its services, stating: “We help represent consumers with debt relief legal services across 48 U.S. states, including collections harassment, FDCPA, bankruptcy, and more. The LPG law team provided litigation support and advisory to support you overcoming debt problems and regaining your life.”
LPG filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on March 20, 2023, under case number 8:23-bk-10571 in the California Central Bankruptcy Court. During the bankruptcy proceedings, serious allegations emerged, with a judge in August 2024 characterizing LPG as a “criminal enterprise” and suggesting it may have operated as a Ponzi scheme. The court-appointed trustee is now pursuing asset recovery from those involved.
Additionally, the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued a subpoena to the bankruptcy trustee in November 2024, indicating an ongoing federal investigation into LPG’s practices. With all these legal troubles, the firm has permanently shut down its operations.
Litigation Practice Group Lawsuit
Litigation Practice Group was sued by Naz II Holding on 1/9/2023. The lawsuit alleges that Tony Diab had been running Litigation Practice Group despite being a disbarred attorney due to ethics violations, including diverting settlement funds that were owed to his client into his own bank account.
If you are a client of Litigation Practice Group, you have most likely received an email regarding your account being transferred to Phoenix Law or Oakstone. This may have left you with many unanswered questions.
Can You Cancel Phoenix Law or Get A Refund?
Firstly, if you do wish to cancel, you may want to contact your bank to disallow any future withdrawals. Secondly, how do you get a refund for the money you put into the account? It appears that some people were frustrated going through normal communication channels, and reached out to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). One Litigation Practice Group BBB complaint shows that LPG is stating that it is processing refunds, but it’s unclear whether you have to do a BBB complaint to see a refund.
What is a BBB Complaint? BBB handles disputes that relate to marketplace issues experienced with the services or products a business provides. The complaint must meet our acceptance guidelines. BBB contacts the business and asks for a response.
Will Phoenix Law or Oakstone Process a Refund?
From one BBB complaint, the former LPG client stated in a Litigation Practice Group review that a company had purchased Litigation Practice Group’s accounts and that they were not entitled to give a refund.
As of 2025, reports indicate that professional fees related to the LPG bankruptcy proceedings have exceeded $8.1 million, surpassing the amounts disbursed to creditors, including former clients seeking refunds. Some clients have been told that since another firm purchased LPG’s accounts, they are not entitled to a refund.
