Also complicating the debate is Tampa-based Albertelli Law Firm, which owns PREO.com, which is under investigation by Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. Bondi’s office confirmed they’ve received at least 16 complaints against Albertelli alleging everything from “foreclosure fraud” to “nothing short of racketeering.”

A Tampa law firm under investigation by the Florida attorney general could also profit from legislation designed to move foreclosure notices online

TAMPA, Fla. — Two state lawmakers want home foreclosure notices to go online – not in your local newspaper. A law firm in the Bay area stands to make big bucks off the switch, but that firm is under investigation by the Florida attorney general.
