Our securities attorneys are investigating reports that J&J Consulting Services, Inc. and perpetrators Jeffrey Judd and Matthew Beasley, among others, may have made false and misleading statements to investors in relation to an alleged $300+ million Ponzi scheme.
Investor funds are believed to have been transferred through an IOLTA (attorney trust account) held by Beasley Law Group PC.
J&J Consulting offered investors interests in personal injury settlements with the promise of 10% to 20% returns. On March 7, 2022, payments to these investors abruptly stopped.

More Details on the J&J Consulting Services Investigation
Jeffrey J. Judd launched J&J Consulting Services, Inc. in May 2005; in October 2021, Judd also launched a new Florida entity called J&J Purchasing LLC. J&J entities began to market and offer investments through purchase agreements in litigation finance, particularly personal injury lawsuits in which plaintiffs had settled claims and were seeking short-term funding before receiving the settlement payments. Investors in these purchase agreements were told that every 90 days they would be paid returns of 10% to 20%.
J&J represented in part that it had issued and collected on 20,000 contracts without default, that it had been able to generate a 25% return in 90 days (for every contract executed, yielding a 100% annual return), and that J&J’s network of 66 law firms always disbursed payments within the 90-day time frame.
More than $300 million was invested in this enterprise. The investment funds were funneled through the trust account of a law firm where Matthew Beasley, a friend of Judd’s, worked.
The funds in this account were reportedly misused and misappropriated, and on March 7, 2022, all payments to investors were halted.
