Virginia State Bar an agency of the Supreme Court of Virginia....
Over the last two decades we have had need of legal counsel on numerous occasions. It could be said that we did things wrong, did not do something right but intelligence of a client should not apply in matters of the law. So here are some questions that we have...
- Is it acceptable for a member of the Bar to bring religious arguments into a courtroom, to use the courts to met out theocratic punishment ?
- Is it acceptable for a member of the Bar to personally intimidate or bribe another attorney to affect their representation ?
- Did Mr. Strode Brent's political ambitions affect his representation ?
- Was Ms. Judy Dugger intimidated by some act of Mr. Micheal Sharman's resulting in her dropping the "abuse of process" without explanation ?
- In a case where one of the Bar's members damages their clients case, is it acceptable for the Bar not to provide competent counsel to rectify the damage caused by their thieving member, especially in cases of probono clients ?
- Is it acceptable for the Bar's members to choose a strategy that ignores or dismisses evidence after explicitly being told by the client that the material exists and where to find it ?
- The Bar oversees a profession where legal strategies and tactic are the service provided, only two parties know what was available, yet in this information age the Bar ignores strategy complaints from damaged clients, is this agency of the Supreme Court of Virginia maintaining the "integrity of the profession" ?
Police - trusted to protect the public and enforce the law.
Over the last two decades we could have used effective law enforcement, the first time was in dealing with stalking, assaults and threats from my girlfriends husband. We moved, the courts forced us to release our new street address to the husband's attorney and within months the husband shows up and accosts my girlfriend at her employment thirty miles from his residence, excused as coincidence. Then there were the locals who got upset with us and started vandalizing our property, poisoning our dog and by puncturing a radiator a cat. These just identified cops that were professionally inept and that law enforcement was not a solution to problems. It also identified that attorneys retained to represent would not use the reports to support a divorce case.
However there is one incident where the cops assaulted me, had my girlfriend hitchhike ten miles home in a medically impaired state and the event occurred in a
CVS pharmacy which had security cameras. This case went from a rather minor event caused by an individual cop that lost sight of their duties, choosing to frame someone. I would include the group of cops with the one that started the assault, however when he started the assault I was facing the back of the store, he was between me and his buddies so his yelling and jumping back created a hostile environment.
Good cop / Bad cop irrelevant to this page, does what was done afterwards define a pattern, is corruption an acceptable process ?
- Is framing and assaulting citizens now part of Law Enforcement's mission ?
- If framing and assaulting citizens is acceptable, like torture, then how are we different from Germany in the middle of the last century ?
- In our case, given that evidence was available why did my attorney state that it was irrelevant in Virginia courts ?
- This was not a complex case, so why did they choose to cover up the evidence if they did no wrong ?
- How many others have been framed by badge 133-Manassas City-138 who did not have security video cameras around ?
- Is it standard practice for the authorities to cover up activities such as badge 133-Manassas City-138 executed that morning in the CVS pharmacy ?
- Given that I served in the military and the context of law enforcements mission I would not want to serve with a loose canon like badge 133-Manassas City-138, he is a risk, why does this population cover up their "bad apples" ?
Community Service Board (CSB)
Social Services has been one organization that has been there for my girlfriend, there have been no charities that helped her.
However on several occasions Social Services let her down, when she escaped the womans shelter would only put her up for thirty days but there was a six month wait for housing - this is unacceptable if one is trying to escape abuse.
Then there have been two incidents, one in
2005 and again in
2010 where my girlfriend was having a reaction to Zoloft, when she called CSB they told her to go to the ER on both occasions. These ER visits left her in debt adding to her depression and anxiety. Repeating the same situation identifies a staff that does not review records and is not proactive in eliminating procedural failures. In addition it does not wean patients off of their services or identify themselves as a functional institution.
- Is dependency a goal of this institution ?
- Do they provide any virtual learning experiences for their patients ?
- My girlfriend has been seeing them for years yet there are no groups to help her, why ?
