Attorney Louis Alum of North Bergen, NJ; ethical troll

The state of New Jersey provided Louis Armando Alum with a law license in 1983 after he graduated from Rutgers University School of Law.

The New Jersey Office of Attorney Ethics found Louie guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Committed a criminal act that adversely reflects on the lawyer's honesty
• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty, or misrepresentation
• Louie admitted that he prepared and signed a misleading RESPA, showing a "repair credit" allegedly due to the buyer in the amount of $25,000
• Because of the misleading RESPA, Mr. Dunn was able to obtain one hundred percent financing
• Louie admitted that he executed and submitted to the primary lender a Fannie Mae affidavit containing false information about the true nature of Dunn's financing
• Louie admitted that he prepared, signed and submitted to the primary lender a misleading RESPA
• that did not reflect a $27,000 second mortgage obtained by his clients the Felicianos
• Louie admitted that he knew that the mortgage commitment from Citicorp Mortgage specifically prohibited secondary financing, and despite that knowledge, Louie went forward with the transaction
• Engaged in a pattern of misconduct

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the New Jersey Supreme Court punished Louie by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.

As we speak (ca. January 2024), Louie practices his so-called brand of law in Trenton, New Jersey.
