***WARNING*** Stay far away from Attorney Tim Peabody. He is a liar, thief and cares not who he screws over. He is notorious for taking an idea or concept and pumping it up to get $ from investors to pay himself and then he is on to next victim. He was pumping Quiet Title in Federal Court Scamming homeowners out of money promising to cancel their mortgage to get a free house. He did a seminar tour of Florida telling all who would listen how much success he was having when in truth - HE NEVER HAD A SINGLE SUCCESSFUL CASE where he cleared title. He is nothing but a scammer. But he is smart lawyer. Tim Peabody will never be the one actually doing the scam. He will get someone else to do the scamming and he will "advise" them. This way when the shit hits the fan and music stops - it looks like someone else did scamming. BEWARE OF THIS GUY. People trust him because he is an "attorney" but he is not to be trusted.
