Did You Find Alex Larian through a Loan Company? – Understanding Illegal Practices in the Legal Field and Your Right to Switch Lawyers
Unfortunately, many lawyers resort to unethical practices to get clients. A common unethical practice is creating partnerships with loan companies. Recently injured individuals go to these loan companies to try to get funds to cover their medical bills and other everyday expenses that pile up quickly. Some of these loan companies, however, work with lawyers, so they refer vulnerable applicants to lawyers that will sign on their cases with promises of additional funding or a huge payout.
Of course, these practices are unethical and, in some cases, are considered illegal. If you recently found out that the only reason you heard about Alex Larian and decided to allow his team to handle your claim is because of their unethical practices, you might be concerned about your claim. You might also be interested in exploring the possibility of switching out lawyers.
You have the right to sub out your lawyer for any reason.
Below, we will review the different laws and policies that make it illegal for lawyers to get clients through loan companies and the legal options available to you in terms of switching representation.

Individuals seeking loans are financially vulnerable and are likely vulnerable in other ways too. These individuals may have been recently injured in a traumatic accident or may have lost a member of their family in a fatal accident. They may have experienced the sudden loss of income, loss of support, and may be going through mental and emotional distress in addition to financial difficulties.
When lawyers get clients through loan companies, they are essentially exploiting injured individuals and their families and coercing them into legal contracts.
What Laws Make It Illegal for Lawyers like Alex Larian to Sign Clients through Loan Companies?There are many laws that make it illegal to get clients through loan companies or other services. Consider the following:
- California Business and Professions Code §6152: makes it illegal for non-attorneys to solicit or procure legal business for attorneys. This law also makes it illegal for attorneys to hire “runners” or “cappers” to solicit clients on their behalf.
- Penal Code §549: it is a crime to intentionally solicit/refer business to attorneys in exchange for compensation or “kickbacks.”
The Importance of these Laws – Without a doubt, it is very important for these laws to exist, and even more important that they are followed by legal professionals. These laws prevent the exploitation of individuals who have suffered a recent injury or who have recently lost a member of their family in an incident, as these individuals may be in vulnerable states and should not be coerced into legal contracts. These laws surrounding ethical practices also maintain public trust towards the legal system; in general, aggressive solicitation and unethical practices like “ambulance chasing” contribute to the mistrust and lost confidence in lawyers and the legal field. In addition, these laws ensure fair competition between lawyers. Most importantly, they prevent unethical practices.
Still, far too many lawyers get away with illegal and unethical practices. In most situations, clients have no idea that their lawyers are acting unethically; they also do not know that their case can be negatively affected by other unethical practices.
Learning that your lawyer exercised unethical practices by working with a loan company to target potential clients can certainly lead to concerns about the outcome of your claim – after all, every one wants their case to be in the best hands possible. If you are unsatisfied with the way that Alex Larian is taking care of your case, you may be glad to know that you can sub him out and continue your case with another lawyer.
