Higbee and Associates Wins Major CA Appeals Case Against Non-Attorneys Engaging In Unauthorized Practice of Law By Offering Expungement Services


The Law Firm of Higbee & Associates, which operates Recordgone.com scored a major victory today in the fight against non-attorneys engaging in the unauthorized practice of law by offering expungement related services.  The victory comes in the form of a published California appeals case that makes clear that attorneys can, in some instances, sue non-attorneys for unauthorized practice of law.

In January of 2008 The Law Firm of Mathew Higbee filed suit against Expungment Assistance Services (EAS) for unlawful acts, which included fraud and the unauthorized practice of law.  Higbee alleged that the fraudulent and unlawful acts by Expungement Assistance Services were hurting consumers as well as the law firm and the Court of Appeals unanimious decided that the law allows a plaintiff who had no business dealing with defendant to sue the defendant.
