Media Statement

November 22, 2022 Atlanta, Ga.  – Attorneys Quinton Washington of the Bell & Washington Law Firm and David Dreyer of David Dreyer Law, LLC, representing The Greater Travelers Rest Baptist Church, a historic 140-year strong church pastored by Reverend Dewey E. Smith, filed a more than nine-hundred-page long lawsuit today which states the predatory lending behaviors of several Defendants, including American Investors Group (AIG), Herring Bank, and others. This fraud case used complicated bond instruments, inflated real estate appraisals, misapplication and misappropriation of payments, bribes, and unauthenticated and unregistered bonds to extract millions of dollars from a church serving DeKalb County, Metro Atlanta, Georgia, and beyond.

Our extensive investigation uncovered a conspiracy that appears to primarily target African Americans churches. These types of legal fights too often go unfought, and many churches fall prey to companies seeking to take advantage of them. Our firm is more than equipped to advocate and fight. This is just wrong.” – Attorney David Dreyer, David Dreyer Law, LLC.

It is a sad day when houses of worship are continuing to be targeted by predatory corporations seeking profit from communities of faith.” – Attorney Quinton Washington, Bell & Washington Law Firm
