“We would like to express our gratitude to you (Hunt Willis) for accepting our case. First of all, when I called this law firm, a very sweet and kind lady answered the telephone and gave me assurance by asking and going over the accident with me, while my husband was in the hospital. I felt assured I was doing the right thing for us. She was so helpful in so many ways. What a professional lady. Secondly, we are much pleased that you have settled this case with the insurance company to receive the proper amount to assist us in so many ways. My husband and I are very happy with you and the firm in handling our case. You made us have confidence in your professional and integrity along with your assistant Ms. Routh, when you both came to see us in our home, in which we saw your compassion and thoughtfulness at that time. We will never forget what you have done for us, and we thank the lord for directing me to contact this firm. I’m glad I did.”
The Department of Education announced on December 19, 2016 that access to federal student loans for students attending the Charlotte School of Law would end on December 31, 2016 as a direct result of the law school’s failure to meet multiple admission and curriculum standards. According to several sources, students attending Charlotte School of Law received more than $50 million in financial assistance in the 2015-2016 school year. Without such aid, many of the school’s more than 700 students could not afford the $60,000 annual tuition.
On December 22, 2016, the North Carolina law firms of Shipman & Wright, LLP and Martin & Jones, PLLC filed a proposed class action lawsuit in North Carolina federal court on behalf of certain students who paid to attend the for-profit Charlotte School of Law. The complaint alleges that through both affirmative statements made by Charlotte School of Law and nondisclosure of highly relevant information, current and prospective students were misled by the school and suffered harm.
The complaint alleges that in July 2016 Charlotte School of Law was ordered to disclose their noncompliance with certain American Bar Association standards. The complaint further alleges that Charlotte School of Law did not make required disclosures, and as a result, students were harmed. Some students are left with substantial educational debt; some of which is guaranteed by the taxpayers in the event of student defaults.
The legal claims in the lawsuit are in large part based upon findings of the American Bar Association and the Department of Education claiming certain acts and omissions of law school management. For those students who were wrongfully harmed, counsel intends to zealously pursue their damages claims.
