This is  copy of a fax Paul Abramson sent to the ARDC:

On Sunday from 2 to 4 pm we will be holding our first in office fund raise and selling raffle tickets, drinks (wine) and providing free cheese and crackers from Whole Foods (healthy and all natural).

I will have printed out my famous “list of supplements” that will keep you healthy and energetic during your unfair court room battles.  You all need the stamina and have no time to be sick.

I will have a number of beautiful handmade quilted art wall hanging for a donation too.

Drinks will be $5 and you will purchase a ticket for each glass of wine.  Please come and donate a hot dish, salad, dessert, bottle of wine and buy a raffle ticket. All leftover food will be donated to Pacific Garden Mission on the near South Side.  We will hold the drawing during a  fundraiser and have one of our court room crime…

Civil Practice and Procedure

Leave to File an Appearance?
Yes, it is Required.
A recent Illinois Appellate Court First District decision has found that leave of court is required to file an appearance if 30 days has lapsed since service was perfected, and this is true even if the appearance is an additional appearance for a party already having appeared.
In J.P. Morgan Mortg. Acquisition Corp. v. Straus, 2012 IL App (1st) 112401, an attorney
attempted to vacate an order of foreclosure which had been entered against his clients after the attorney had filed an appearance for his clients. The court reviewed the order of foreclosure and sale and found that since the attorney had not sought leave of court to…

Raffle tickets are $20 and will benefit the victims of crime in the courts and provide innocence project assistance to those of your who have experienced corruption in the courts (no jurisdiction, changed transcripts, judges obviously not following the law, summary orders to terminate POAs, Health Surrogate terminations, wrongful arrests, wrongful convictions and so many other unconstitutional and Fraud on the Court Proceedings.)  We can find plenty of attorneys and others to help you in pro se pleadings and I will help you report these crimes to the authorities, but we need money to pay rent, Comcast, transcript fees, court fees (for judges that wrongfully deny pauper’s petitions as a way to keep people from appealing unconstitutional decisions).  Our attorneys work many long hours for free for you. All we need to pay is overhead so we have a private place to meet and get you the assistance you need…

For those of you even considering a Reverse Mortgage or wondering why they are such a scam, read on:

The highlights of the article are:  woman takes out $180,000 loan after paying off equity credit line.  Home is worth $300,000.  Woman falls behind in tax payments which trigger automatic foreclosure for fail to pay taxes.

Next thing you know she is in foreclosure court.  But wait, there’s more. The loan has now, in 10 years, blossomed to a $300,000 balance. How did that happen?

I believe that once the foreclosure process has been started, even making the taxes current won’t stop the lender from foreclosing and taking the home.

What a lucrative way to do business!

The courts don’t seem to care and there are few regulations in place to allow elders and their families to get those tax payments current.

What a shame for this woman.
