AND SO … the list goes on and on. My contention is beyond the incredible Mr. Troy Titus. Mine is now with the Virginia State Bar who allowed a known felon to retain his law license so that he could “work” to repay them the 1.4 million THEY were on the hook for with the 15 cases they investigated. They turned their heads and looked the other way while he continued to steal from more clients/associates (they didn’t REALLY think he made 1.4 mil in two years now, did they …) So with all he stole while he also practiced “law” and raked in $$$ from his asset protection victims, we (those of us who fell prey to his fraud and embezzlement) can’t seem to get a dime from him - nor, can anyone seem to get him put in jail.
He is becoming the eighth wonder of the world. They can “remove” Pluto from the solar system but they can’t arrest and incarcerate a known criminal. What’s up with that?

He took $5,000 I gave him to do a family trust, cashed the check the same day he got disbarred and disappared. He has not returned a single phone call of the dozen’s I’ve made to reach him, no response to faxes, emails or anything. It’s been several weeks and no sign that he will give me the money back. Since he is no longer a lawyer in VA, he is not allowed to do a trust for me. I’ve filed a complaint with the VA Police Dept. Troy Titus is a thief!

Troy Titus was disbarred for embezzlement. He is still attempting to collect retainers from unsuspecting clients as an Attorney. He is operating from Premier Consulting or 1573 Indian River Road, Virginia Beach, VA. He is being investigated by several organizations. Please note not to affiliate yourselves with Atty Kris Cardwell or disbarred Troy Titus.

When I read the link, it looks to me, as if the offered penalty is a single 5k fine. I didn’t read anything about him losing his law license.
Maybe I’m overlooking something?

I guess “Teflon Troy” is the only thing that will stick to this guy.
Titus promised me and my attorney late last year he would pay to finish the foreclosure process he started. Now that it’s time to finish the process, and of course pony up the dough, Mr. Titus is conveniently not responding to e-mails or calls…
In the last month, I’ve received two e-mails from folks looking for more detail about Titus. Evidently, he’s back on the real estate speaking circuit “teaching” his craft. Unbelievable.

I am sorry you were taken advantage of. Never, ever pay for something from any attorney, CPA, etc. for services until they actually perform that service. A professional never asks for money upfront. Also when dealing with attorneys always check www.martindale.com to see that attorneys peer rating. If they have a low rating or are not listed then find another attorney. You should also contact the Virginia Attorney General’s office and the Consumer Protection Agency in Virginia. I suspect that Mr. Titus will be facing criminal charges if he is stealing from people. I know he had a lot of people fooled as I had seen him speak at several real estate seminars. The last time was in July. He was pushing his consulting program with a company called The Ark. Unfortunately, many attendees signed up at $3,500. I’m glad I didn’t sign up. Good luck in seeking justice.

I think this website is a great thing to help investors and etc. learn who to look out for. Troy Titus has several corporations and partners that you should look out for. He has Alpha Lakeside Investments, LLC; Trelli, LLC., Dunkirk Properties, LLC; Premier Consulting, LLC; Eastview Enterprises, LLC; Bethel Trust Company; Pungo Creek Trust; Sojourner Trust; The Ultra Trust; Lykisa Enterprises, LLC.; Guiding Light, LLC. He is also signing that he is President of Chovot, Inc., however, he nor Mary Smith nor Tina Keilman nor Kristina Cardwell have been officers or had the right to sign on behalf of Chovot, Inc. John Rochevot has and always been the President/Vice President/Secretary and Treasurer of this corporation and if any of the above have signed on behalf of Chovot, Inc., you need to contact Attorney John Lumpkin in Norfolk, Virginia. You can also contact Scott Carnes, Attorney who represents Chovot, Inc. and Mr. Rochevot.
Please be aware

Re; to MIM.
You stated;
“A professional never asks for money upfront” !!!???
I’m not sure of the attorneys that you deal with, nut it is emphatically not true that most attorneys will perform any services for you without an initial payment in advance. Have you heard of “retainer”?
Personally, I have never found one who would do so.
To the person who was ripped of by the attorney, if it was not more than your states small claims amount (or even if it is, but you can only get a small claims judgment that amount) you can bring an action in small claims court. Its easy, simple and they cater to non represented litigants. It can also be very empowering.
If you prevail you will get a judgment (money judgment). You will have a variety of enforcement rights to enforce that judgment; garnishment, lien on any owned real estate or personal property (auto, boat, etc.), possibly even a forced sale of assets.
You can also force a court appearence and he will be required to answer questions as to assets owned and/or controlled. If that particular lawyer is savvy, he likely has taken steps to protect assets from creditors, but you dont know unless you find out.
Since you likely have few, if any, other alternatives, you may determine that a small claims action is the way to go.
Good luck. Read Nolos Small Claims book and prepare properly. If he did rip you off he likely does not have any defense, although being an attorney, he will probobly just make something up.

Thanks for the advice. My situation was at a critical stage, and I trusted Titus because of his association with others whom I trusted. Those folks have now distanced themselves from Titus as well… Fortunately, he did deliver on half of what he was supposed to. Unfortunately, he may have made the situation worse in the long run… I’ve filed a complaint with the VA State Bar and they’ve basically washed their hands of Troy Titus - stating that it’s now out of their jurisdiction. The Attorney General wouldn’t accept a complaint indicating the VA State Bar is the regulatory agency for attorneys - nice “do loop.” I have a call with Titus scheduled for this Friday to see if we can come to an amicable arrangement. We’ll see what he has to say…

Sojourner Trust is mine, and unless the documents are erroneous, Kris Cardwell is the Trustee. If you know otherwise, please advise. Troy did set it up initially, and as a Private Annuity Trust. Troy should not be associated with it now.

What r u in the process of doing about this? Did u invest monies into properties that didn’t exist? Let me know if I can help. The best best is to hire an attorney or go down to the VA Beach Police dept and file a criminal charge against him for taking your property. You know, when it’s over, it’s going to be over and no one is going to get their money
