Legal Services of Greater Miami and Legal Aid Service of Broward County will split nearly $193,000 of unclaimed funds from distributions to class member victims of the Cash 4 Titles RICO criminal enterprise. Each organization shall receive $96,130.33.

Upon the recommendation of co-class counsel Lawrence A. Kellogg of Levine Kellogg Lehman Schneider + Grossman in Miami and Gordon Dobie of Winston & Strawn in Chicago, the judges overseeing the class action, District Court Judge James Cohen and Magistrate Judge Edwin Torres, ordered that all remaining class funds be divided equally between these two legal aid organizations serving South Florida.

“As lawyers, we have worked for over two decades to bring a measure of justice to many around the world who were victimized by the Cash 4 Titles criminals,” Kellogg said. “As we close out distributions to the victims, it is important to remember that many people do not have the resources to hire lawyers like us to protect their rights. We feel it entirely appropriate to use the unclaimed funds to give back to those in the community who need legal services but can’t afford them. By donating the unclaimed funds to Legal Services of Greater Miami and Legal Aid Services of Broward County, we are hopeful that unclaimed funds from other class actions will also be donated to these and other worthy organizations.”
