The Diligent Virginia Attorneys

It would seem to be in these individuals best interests to represent their clients in a competent manner. So why is it that I can state that these individuals did not represent their client in a diligent manner, omitting to bother to contact witnesses like the doctors in our case. Here are some of the questions that we had with their strategy:

• Question on failing to contact the doctors and therapists in both the 1989-1995 and 2005 issues if for no other reason than to reinforce their own belief in their client. Here I believe would have been a major asset for a "spousal abuse" strategy in a "divorce case" and "medical impairment" strategy in the "prescription fraud case", especially since we were going home from the hospital when the event occurred.
  • We found out that the attorneys did not contact the doctors or therapists after the case was over when we talked to them.[1, 2]
• Question on a police report - "the police lie all the time, you will not be believed". Consider if my claims are true, that the store video would refute the police report, identifying a lying cop that assaulted and framed a citizen trying to take care of their girlfriend.
• Question on a store video - "if you got upset while being assaulted the video would go against you". What is upset ? I had just spent the night in the hospital with my girlfriend because CSB did not monitor her condition and that morning I had someone demanding my "id".
• Questioning Mr. A. Strode Brent when another attorney was slandering us in court - "professional courtesy" followed with "the courts allow a certain leeway".
• Question when confronted - these attorneys claimed that "theirs was a business", they could not afford to "research" their case, this was understandable if the material needed to be exposed, testing or tracking down witnesses. We had walked into their office with the material.
• Question on "officer of the court" - this is their ace card to avoid doing their job, when the opposing counsel is lying to the court, the response is "courts allow leeway". Then why would an "officer of the court" not bother to refute the lies ? When confronted these "scammer's" will excuse their unwillingness to address with their role as "officer of the court" or "business professional" whichever suits them.

Excuses for failed strategy.   What could possibly provide incentive to override the industry goals:

• Business Strategy  Volume processing, multi-task, maximize profits with minimal investment, this strategy is fine until service suffers. If there is no oversight the strategy of minimal investment of time effectively ensures maximum profits - theft without consequences is always profitable.
  • Cutting Corners  The concern is that a "failed strategy" may be with intent, we all have experience with "businesses" who have chosen to cut corners. If the only oversight or control over these individuals is a damaged client, then there is no control over this industry. It would not matter how much one pays just because there is no control, there is a tendancy to cut corners. Like a plumber that does not bother with the wax seal on a toilet. With a plumber one might be able to obtain an "attorney" to recover the damages, with an attorney, they will be reluctant to go against one of their own. Like Ms. Judy A. Dugger, who just dropped us after giving us instructions to prepare for an Abuse of Process action.
  • Dismissed Complaints  When the Virginia State Bar dismisses a complaint because of failed "strategy", is it providing effective oversight ?
    • A "failed" strategy indicates that the client did not have a good case. A distinct possibility.
    • A "failed" strategy indicates that the attorney is incompetent - did not know enough, maybe this Mr. A. Strode Brent just did not know enough to take inventory of his assets to ensure the best outcome for his client.
    • A "failed" strategy indicates that the attorney is processing their client - why bother with future opportunities if one can scam a client and go on to the next [1 & 2]
    • These implementations are highlighted by our "dog bite" attorney, whose strategy was to take all the money, of course the Virginia State Bar considered this an impropriety that they could not cover up with their "strategy" excuse, even though it was their members "strategy".
  • Ethical members  Now if the Virginia State Bar does not diligently review the complaints, then it has no idea as to how ethically their members are performing the service. The result of this implementation is that the laws in Virginia are irrelevant. The goal of the members is profit not service - there is no need to ensure that a client is represented, the "strategy" of members is to harvest the client and the Virginia State Bar does not address "strategy" issues. Their member must "harvest" correctly, which means that it must appear that they are representing the client, after all what do details matter as long as the right forms and documents submitted.
• Political Issues.
  • Fear to present,  Our attorneys have complained that they "have to continue to work" when confronted with a failed "strategy". This implies that to present the material to the courts would result in disfavor and damage future clients. So in the execution of their job of representing their client in a zealous manner the courts / a judge would become prejudiced against them.
    • This is a direct reflection on the courts - implying that that they are prejudiced because an attorney is doing their job.
    • This fear reinforces the implications that the Virginia Courts are Kangaroo Courts that dismiss jurisprudence.
    • Is this why the doctors and therapists were never contacted in two cases [89, 05] ? That the courts were prejudiced against doctors, therapists, witnesses and evidence that would refute their notions.
    • Is this why the attorney dismissed the CVS store video and the police report with the claims that my position was irrelevant - because I had already been found guilty before the hearing ?
    • A Fairfax County Judge Valentine on defending oneself - after the Mr. Mason quit we were in court without an attorney. I attempted to refute Mr. J. Michael Sharman's statements so the audio tape was played to listen for an alleged "threat". I knew that I had made no threat.
      
      With Judge Valentine we had an individual that listened to a tape intended for someone that had assaulted, stalked, threatened, abused the children and the judge got upset with me, the caller. I expected a professional behind the bench, instead we had a whiner, getting so upset that they prevented the presentation of the pictures and documents that refuted the claims of the husband's attorney. The pictures were of the husband in drag committing masochistic acts on himself, documents proving separation the first would have refuted the "Good Christian" claim and the second would have proven the date of separation. From this experience I learned that it is a bad idea to represent yourself.
      
      When I pointed out that the judge had not heard the "threat" he was listening for, I also pointed out that we had not presented our side of the case. The judge started pounding his little mallet and yelling about "contempt of court" at that point in time I had nothing but contempt. If the judge does not hear both sides they are incapable of rendering a fair judgment it is presuming guilt, is prejudiced and a kangaroo court.
      
      Separation of a son from his mother My mistake was to expect professionals on the bench in this theater, my mistake cost my girlfriend, a mother her son, a child she would have to pay child support and not be allowed to see till he was of age.
      
      The husband first failed to return the child from a visitation, which the wife allowed because it was supposed to support her case. The child was bought with a toy. When Child Protection was called they would hide in the house and watch then knock, the son told us after he got out of the hospital for attempted suicide (years later). A health inspector had a bonding session with the husband, documented by a letter we have from Mr. J. Michael Sharman where the inspector identified the wife through implication. Lastly we have a judge that does not bother to listen to all the material.
      
      Years later after the divorce judgment, when the question of visitation was brought up by Ms. Judy A. Dugger the judges hearing it would state that they would not rule against another judge.
      
      
  • The possibility that the Virginia Courts are corrupt,  counsel not being able to present their case, omitting such things as doctors [89, 05] and therapists because the courts do not consider this material viable. Then the Prosecutor in my girlfriends prescription fraud case who stated that they were "tired of the 'Zoloft' excuse", when my girlfriend mentioned the situation to the courts - NOTE: Retained counsel did not make mention of the circumstances surrounding the event. Then there is my case of being assaulted by the police where the Judge was arguing with the Prosecutor over the deal that he had made - without hearing the context of the case, since the Judge had not heard both sides and therefore they were not in a position to make a judgment other than accept the deal from their Prosecutor - so why the argument ? Prejudiced court ? Competency of the Judge ?
    
    The possibility that the Virginia courts are Kangaroo Courts.....

Man Sues Police for $4.5 Million....
Here is a case that is similar to our cases with some notable differences. The first being that a Federal Judge heard the case as such they may have been impartial to the proceedings. By impartial I mean not invested in the community, in the case of the judge hearing my case, they started arguing with the prosecutor over his deal without hearing my side. From what position were they basing their argument ? A police report by the officer that framed me ? Second that it was not in the Northern Virginia region where most attorney's are "distracted". I point this out here as it identifies a similar situation representing both a business opportunity and professional credibility. I then shake my head in wonder as I consider how my attorney convinced me that I was guilty - believe me I was shopping, my girlfriend was sitting down fighting off a reaction to prescription drugs after spending the night in the ER.

Then the "Virginia State Bar" changed from the Nine Canons in 2000 to "guidelines" right after the attorney deserted and I had written several complaints.

The Press
The "Press" was interesting in their publishing events that surrounded our cases. Attempts to communicate with both the Washington Post and the The Potomac News a local paper, resulted in silence, no response, nothing, not even a form letter. I thought about the duty of the press, how they represented a force against various activities, yet they were not engaged in following up a potential opportunity ?
The only way anyone is hearing about our situation is through the Internet, regardless of my writing skills or the subject matter that I present.

In 2000 the Washington Post wrote this article on my girlfriends "dog bite" attorney. He was our fifth attorney, we still wanted to address the past issues and the current dog bite. So I drafted a letter to the author of the article's on this attorney, certified, no response, did not even get the receipt slip back.

In January 2005 the The Potomac News published our arrest, names and included our address a concern from our past experiences with stalking and vandalism. So I sent a letter to their editor, in an attempt to solicit some sort of support at the time I was trying to obtain the CVS store video of the event - this "news paper" did not respond to my letters either. We had not been found "guilty", we were "presumed guilty" by this paper, I am just glad that we were no longer being hunted or stalked.

Maybe our stories are not worthy but they may have provided an opportunity for another set of articles feeding their business, after all allegedly "conflict" sells paper. I expected that I would get some sort of response, even a form letter like the letter from the Virginia State Bar, who at least responded. I realize that we were not people of interest, marginalized, dismissed, that ours are not your issues, however someday they may be.....

After numerous complaints to the service and a complaint to the Virginia State Bar they reply that did provide a referral - it is remembered that the referral was too busy and that they were looking for another one, this is consistent with our experience, a problem which this service was supposed to address.
  • Emotional trauma a year of complaints pass and one realizes that these members of the Virginia State Bar have not resolved ones situation again - good strategy.
• Social damage  One becomes a pariah, no one wants to hang around someone being stalked or is always stressed out. These attorneys tell their clients not to talk to anyone this has two fold effect, theoretically it supports the attorneys case as loose lips sink ships, but it also removes witnesses of attorney malpractice, our case was lucky because the real estate agent was folded into this chaotic mess - but too much time passed before this could be addressed. So one attorney had their crusade and the other was either lazy or looking for votes.

The above list is accumulated damages attributed to Virginia State Bar member strategies. The Virginia State Bar states that one does have the option to "sue" their members but consider the position a client is in and a reluctance of one member to go after another member. Also by the time that one might be able to file a malpractice charge the statute of limitations may have passed of course the damage persists, it took years to resolve the damage caused by a "strategy". We can identify the institution that certifies members who chose such strategies as sacrificing a client, executing a religious crusade against an individual and processing a client [1, 2] - not reviewing identified assets. Such strategies are a reflection on the certifying institution, their members and affects the integrity of the judicial process.

Maybe the courts are swamped to the extent that they cannot provide their service to the community effectively. These Judges and attorneys rant about "the law" yet through their implementation "the laws" are irrelevant.

• Judges will not hear a rebuttal.
• Judges will make judgments without all the facts [89,05a&05b].
• Those implementing the system are not forced to invoke change in the implementation - because the implementation is profitable.
• Theft is profitable if there are no repercussions, just do what it takes to create the illusion of service, a racket.
