Trevor Law Group

Last updated

The Trevor Law Group was a three-member Beverly Hills law firm notable in California and nationally for their heavy-handed tort law abuse. In 2002, it was alleged that they engaged in a form of extortion by threatening to sue thousands of businesses for violating a now-defunct provision of the Business & Professions Code, then offering to "settle" for a few thousand dollars apiece. [1] [2] The investigation was the largest in the history of the State Bar of California, [3] and three principals of the firm were recommended for disbarment. They eventually gave up being lawyers.
