A former lawyer in Long Beach has been sentenced to 41 months in prison for his roles in a mortgage modification scheme which posed as a successful law firm.

Ronald Rodis, 52, lent his name and voice to advertisements touting the services of the Rodis Law Group, which offered loan modification services for a flat fee in the wake of the mortgage crisis. Federal prosecutors charged him and two other men—Bryan D’Antonio and Charles Wayne Farris—of conspiring to defraud struggling homeowners by misrepresenting Rodis Law Group’s ability to negotiate the terms of home loans. Rodis pleaded guilty in June 2016 to one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.
