Are legislators really concerned about the (lack of) ethics of Family Law lawyers?  Maybe.  Are legislators concerned about the ARDC’s (Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission) failure to investigate?  Probably not.

Attached is a letter from the then House Judiciary Committee to the ARDC regarding their concerns.  It is signed by EVERY member of the Judiciary Committee.

Yet, what has the ARDC done?  Nothing.  They just ignored it.  Why?  Because Family Law is the biggest revenue generator for attorneys: so no one wants to touch it, even if there is a “call” to look into it.

I know, some can argue that this letter is concerning GALs and Child Reps.  True, but what are GALs and Child Reps?  They are lawyers selected from Family Law Attorneys.  (I have a lot to say about GALs and the GAL program, but that would take another several weeks of emails to get out…

I think we all know the answer to that is a resounding “no”. The use of chemical and physical restraints, the smell, bed and chair alarms, never seeing the light of day again, bad unhealthy food, no exercise or fresh air, all the residents are done for.

From SK today:  She went to court, a custody/divorce case where a good mother lost custody/visitation because her former (bad) attorney made a deal and threatened her that unless she acceded to supervised visitation (where a bad therapist was making money off a wrongful court order), the police were going to arrest her.  Of course, she did nothing wrong, and that turned out to be a lie, but the damage was done and she could not see her kids for months.

But wait, it gets better.  Last court date when our savvy smart pro se mom used the words constitution, due process, bar complaint, she ended up quickly with 5 deputy sheriffs in the court room.  Bit of gang banging there.  This time, she had several of them show up when her case was called and one followed her out, asking her questions about who contacted a certain state agency…

Mary Mims has 32 years of experience working as a registered nurse, including time spent managing nursing home staffs. None of that could save the life of her mentally ill daughter, Letasha, who at the age of 36 died after an almost two-year stay at the Chicago nursing home Alden Wentworth.

Mims felt she could trust Alden Wentworth. After all, she once worked for its parent company, Alden Management Services, as an administrator overseeing various facilities, including the home where she placed her daughter.

“The mistake I made was gambling on the fact that these people knew me, and I trusted them to take care of my daughter,” Mims says.

Letasha Mims had been diagnosed with schizophrenia after she started showing…

excellent video on all the reasons to never talk to a police officer.  there are plenty of reasons why your statements can be twisted and turned even if you are innocent.  just politely say no.  Blame your lawyer.  Blame youtube lawyers. Blame this blog.  But never talk to police.  It’s never a good idea.  I can’t tell you how many times I have seen police reports where the police got just about everything wrong.  I wonder if they go back and write up reports after they have had a drink or two or a toke or two or three or more.  It’s always a bad idea.  And if you are talking to police for any reason, record, record, record.

And Hannukuh blessings and all the other winter time holidays too!

My heart goes out to those of you who cannot see their loved ones this Christmas season because there is a court order, or a GAL order or some sort of other nonsense.

The holidays are for families, but for the families of Mary Sykes, Alice Gore, Rose Drabik, Lydia Tyler, Alan Frake and so many, many more, they were a horror show.  For years, many in probate are not even allowed to know where their loved ones are.  Helen Stone in Florida most assuredly will not see her daughter for Hannukah.  Please pray for them.  Please pray that the psychopaths in charge, the judges, the lawyers and court room vendors lose their hearts of stone for a heart of flesh and blood.

Too many to mention are suffering through the holidays.  Give them your kind thoughts and blessings.
