Kirkland Young LLC

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum’s office announced it had filed a lawsuit against three Miami-Dade County companies charging them with taking part in a foreclosure rescue scam. One of which is identified as Kirkland Young LLC. The other 2 are Attorney Aid LLC and ABK Consultants. All three companies have allegedly charged up-front and back-end fees. Charging such fees is illegal.
