“There had been a resurgence of hope in the market, which appears to be justified, at this time,” said Jeremy Rosenblum, someone at attorney Ballard Spahr, whom represents lenders that are payday. Rosenblum talked to ProPublica and WNYC in a seminar space in the Doral — filled up with notepads, pencils and small soup bowls of candy marked using the Trump title and household crest — where he had simply led a session on conformity with federal and state legislation. “There had been a profound feeling of relief, or hope, the very first time.” (Ballard Spahr periodically represents ProPublica in appropriate things.)
