Re: Be careful about taking advice from the Timeshare Users Group (TUG) (by Don P.):
The problem is that there is no way to verify that you are a consumer advocate and not a shill steering people to a scamming attorney. There are many ambulance chasing attorneys out there trolling the forums for victims. Better to err on the side of caution and avoid falling into a trap.
NEVER pay anyone money upfront that claims they can get you out of your contract especially a low life attorney. I don't think someone claiming a money back guarantee is a safe idea. There are plenty of attorneys where you live. NEVER give money to an attorney you heard about on the internet. If you feel you need the assistance of an attorney use one where you live and can actually walk into their office and talk to a live person.
