Historical Perspective - Lawyers are repulsive S C U M

[judd]

Corporate lawyer Matthew Kluger is alleged to have been at the heart of one of the largest and longest-running insider-trading schemes ever prosecuted, but when he appeared in a federal court in Alexandria on Wednesday, he said he could not afford an attorney, according to a Justice Department spokesman.

The government says the scheme netted more than $32 million in illegal profits since 2006

I have had the misfortune of dealing with a number of lawyers during the many years I have been in business.
The latest is a ROY STEWART located in the city of Prince George B.C.
I must make this lawyer answerable to the BC LAW SOCIETY AND THE COURTS FOR MALPRACTICE, LACK OF ETHICS, MISLEADING INFORMATION AND SO CALLED ADVICE-MISREPRESENTATION, DOUBLE AND EXCESSIVE BILLING, SLANDEROUS COMMENTS IN CORRESPONDENCE ETC. THREATENING , MISCONDUCT ETC.VERY LENGTHY COMPLAINTS.
i ALSO MUST TAKE THE CITY OF PRINCE GEORGE B C TO COURT FOR HARASSMENT, INVASION OF PRIVACY, NEGLIGENCE, MISCONDUCT, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF INCOME, MENTAL ANGUISH, ETC. THE CITY LAWYER--- M. HOUG, IS DECEITFUL, THREATENING, AND EVEN A JUSTICE QUESTIONED HIS ETHICS IN A COURT ROOM.
I CANNOT SEEM TO FIND A REPUTABLE LAWYER TO RETAIN FOR THESE FILES TO BE LODGED FOR SUPREME COURT ACTIONS.
DOES THIS BROTHERHOOD HAVE SUCH A PROTECTIONIST SYSTEM THAT THERE IS A COMPLETE ABOLISHMENT OF COURTROOMS OPERATING WITH AN HONEST, TRUTHFUL, AGENDA????
I NEED HELP-AND I NEED A REPUTABLE LAWYER WITH ETHICS. E MAIL ME IF YOU ARE THAT LAWYER-OR KNOW OF ONE CAPABLE. THANKS111

Hey, June.

Sorry you are going through such a miserable time. I can relate!!!!!!!!!! I have spent the past 6.5 years dealing with an abusive psychopathic court stalker and his fraudulent attorneys. All i can say is the BC civil court system is a private club for attorneys all paid for by the tax payer. I am pro-se and it's tough to get yourself heard in the court.

Anyway, be well as best you can !!

I'm getting the impression sleazebag lawyers in US have a great deal in common with Northern peers.

Lawyer rudeness in e-mails is now one of the leading complaints of uncivil behavior grievances filed against lawyers, an article in the summer edition of the British Columbia Benchers’ Bulletin states. And, action has been taken against lawyers who fail to dial down their language in emails

For some reason terse emails does not strike me as an urgent issue, although it serves to underscore the arrogant nature of these crapsacks.

I have almost given up on finding a decent, honest lawyer with integrity to take on the filing of a suit against ROY STEWART, the lawyer who must answer for his corrupt misconduct, fraudulent billing, and absolute unethical representation re my file. He even went so far as to misfile a counterclaim in Court Registry-naming the wrong party totally as the PLAINTIFF. Can one imagine, a lawyer with perhaps 40 years practicing cannot even file a counterclaim correctly??? Maybe it will turn out for the best, as the City of Prince George lawyer, a M. HOUG, then attempted to cast doubts as to who actually filed the document, attempting to lay the blame on me. He then proceeded to deny accusations I made as to the actions that would be taken against myself if I did not remove storage containers from my property within the time frame specified and the ongoing losses I would be subjected to. In my opinion when he said my remarks were "NOT SO," He committed PERJURY.
I believe they form ALLIANCES-and the cowards are busy looking out for one another.
I am determined to have these lawyers answer for their unscrupulous incompetency in, or out of, a court room-if I am forced to go in myself. Even the Judge agreed the LAW SOCIETY was one area I should go to. I sensed no respect for the lawyers, or the City of Prince George. Incidently--it is noted for the amount of crime and gang activity which takes place on a regular basis in this city, and perhaps the lawyers here are busy reaping the profits off gang activity by representing them.
It is one horrible city, and the MAYOR and COUNCIL, along with all the inner circle administrators, who answer to no one, should be given one swift kick to the roadway, and make room for some decent, honest, law abiding people capable of running a city with honesty and integrity.
It is set up for the CANADA WINTER GAMES in 2015, and I would suggest the public stay away from this cesspool of a city.
It is not safe to take a walk at night in this city---take note.
A civic election in November may help, but that does not get rid of the inner sanctum group!!!
I had almost 2000 hits on Kijiji and NOT ONE LAWYER capable of taking on my files responded.
YOU BET-THEY ARE ONE GROUP INTENT ON PROTECTION OF ONE ANOTHER--and THE LAW SOCIETY IS NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF THE SAME TYPE.

I had managed to stay out of a courtroom past my fifth decade of life, and considered myself an average law abiding human. Then one day, my ex decided to divorce me and I had my first taste of courts and lawyers.
I am now, and most likely will forever be, shocked, traumatised, and in terror of the legal system. Lawyers continue to intrude into my life, and want to micro manage it, for no reason, other than their power to do so and my inability to stop them. I have been drained of my life savings and may want to report it, but after reading the fultility of doing so, as presented in this forum, I am not sure how to proceed.
If there is but one honest caring lawyer in this system, let him/her come forward and contact me to advise. I am still unable to be my usual affable self now that this panic has set in and I need to fight fire with fire, and restore ny belief in this country's justice and mercy, which was lacking in my case. Without it, I fear for our country as well as for all decent people. The corruption and immoral behavior, if inherent in the system, is too destructive to ignore.

Immoral behavior by lawyers and judges is not only rampant, it is condoned at every level, including small claims court. Any litigant intent on stacking the deck in their favor only has to show up with a $200/hr mouthpiece. Black robed buffoons don't even make an effort to conceal their bias. Pro Se parties must also overcome other elements of a flawed system.

Bias Against Pro Per Litigants: What It Is. How to Stop It.

From the moment they first contact the court system, most people who want to represent themselves, without a lawyer, encounter tremendous resistance. There are a number of reasons why lawyers and the courts they control are biased against the self-represented. Among them are:

1.Many people could pay a lawyer but choose not to. Their choice repudiates lawyers and their "special gifts" and takes money out of lawyers' pockets.

2.Because non-lawyers are unfamiliar with court procedures that are set up by lawyers for lawyers, they tend to get in the way of smooth court administration.

3.People who can't afford a lawyer are a rebuke to the organized bar's monopoly over legal services, because that monopoly is morally--if not legally--justified only if the legal profession is able to provide affordable justice for all.

Personal injury lawsuits and other tort claims represent a $40 billion per year industry built upon the abuse and misuse of America’s legal system by contingency-fee lawyers. While these trial lawyers (or plaintiffs’ lawyers or personal injury lawyers) have long claimed to champion “the little guy,” their injured and uninjured plaintiffs are often drawn into a legal process that primarily just expands trial lawyers’ finances and political power.

LOL! How true, and how pathetic.

In the 6 plus years myself and others have been pursued through the civil court system by a psychopathic court abuser, almost $200000.00 has changed hands. None of it has gone into the hands of either the plaintiff or the defendants. It's all gone to lawyers! All of it!

The civil court system where I live is a disaster. And once a civil litigant gets a hold of you in the civil court system and decides not to let go, they can ruin you financially just for the fun of it. I now understand why some people go postal.

This recently minted lawyer makes an excellent point.

Lawyers’ Bad Reputations Start with Arrogant Law Students

During my 1L orientation, the then-dean of the law school encouraged us not to tell lawyer jokes because it perpetuated the image of the legal profession as being full of soulless, greedy, and unscrupulous ladder climbers. Unfortunately, this reputation is still earned by many lawyers now coming out of the gate.

If the legal profession wants to change its reputation, it should try to screen out these arrogant people when they apply to law school and continuously foster the idea that there’s a place for all types of people to be lawyers. More realistically, I suppose, schools should integrate elitist conversations into their classrooms and truly take the time to debate students who repeatedly demonstrate this type of arrogance. I hope comments like those enumerated by my classmates are not the norm for my class, my school, or the legal profession, but I have my doubts.
