Prob a t e Cou rt Vict im Support Group
It is true that there is trauma when you are a petitioner, respondent, defendant and/or plaintiff in Court. Your trauma is NOT unique, and you are NOT alone. We are here with you in the dark, on the phone, in your closet crying, in your bed unable to get out, we are here.
Do you have proof that your lawyer lied court appointed attorney lied to the Court, no matter
how big or small? You are not alone. Do you feel your rights have been violated? You are not alone. Attorneys appointed to your case work for the ward. When the appointed attorney
misrepresents to the Court that is punishable by the law. Report the attorney to the authorities as an upstanding citizen. Soon enough the authorities will investigate the lawless as they should.

Defective Samsung Refrigerators–Cooling Tower Freezing Repeatedly and/or Ice Maker Freezing Over

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

If you have a Samsung Refrigerator and the ice maker and/or the cooling tower is freezing over repeatedly, call 1-800-SAMSUNG and demand a full refund. You may have to talk to 2 or 3 agents to get a promise of a refund, but keep on calling them back. Mention to the agent on the phone that these problems with their refrigerators are all over the internet, they are common and you want your money back. Buy something else. If you don’t receive a full refund in 4 to 6 weeks, go ahead and sue them in small claims court. These refrigerators are a defective product in a defective condition. You will want to mention your state’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act and/or Consumer Fraud Act in your complaint. You can sue the store, the distributor and the manufacturer (Samsung). If you have any repair bills, food spoilage receipts or drug spoilage…

Help, senior in need, age 69 needs immediate housing in Chicago area

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

Kathleen is 69 years old and does not do drugs or alcohol. She has 2 adult children that live out of state who are not interested in caring for her for whatever reason. She says they have their own lives and are very busy. I spent an hour with her and she seemed very intelligent (was a teacher for years), very kind, quiet, but talkative and she seems to be a good Christian and she is very introspective. She is from Ireland originally and still has a cute little accent. For some reason she is homeless. She does have social security, but a very small amount because she worked many jobs that did not pay into social security. She also has well care for insurance. She does not currently have food stamps because she moved back to California to be with her son for awhile. Let me know if you…

From Dean Sallas–the OPG continues to terrorize the Sallas’s in this transcript.

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

As you know, for over a decade, the OPG and Probate court and various probate guardianship judges have terrorized Amelia and Dean Sallas. Dean Sallas is 84 years old and physically disabled. The OPG/Probate court have split up this couple and Amy Sallas has been isolated from her beloved husband of over a half century through various nefarious court orders. Amy has long recovered from her stroke of over a decade ago. She soon returned home from the hospital and after a few months of rest, resumed her household duties of caring for her husband and doing the household cooking, cleaning and laundry, yet her guardianship continued on even though her husband repeatedly protested she did not need a guardianship. A few years ago, Amy was put in a locked down ALF.

The story has been made public on social media and see how the OPG/judges/lawyers complain that, heaven forbid…

Representatives Collins and Casey introduce the Guardianship Accountability Act for Guardianship Reform

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

Washington, D.C.– In a continuation of their efforts to protect seniors and people with disabilities from abusive guardians, U.S. Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Bob Casey (D-PA), the former and current Chairman of the Senate Aging Committee, introduced theGuardianship Accountability Act. The legislation addresses many of the recommendations in the Aging Committee’sreport, “Ensuring Trust: Strengthening State Efforts to Overhaul the Guardianship Process and Protect Older Americans,” that wasreleasedat a November 2018 hearing they led following their year-long investigation.

“Guardians are entrusted to take care of those who are unable to make important decisions about their finances and well-being. In some heartbreaking cases, however, Americans have been ruthlessly exploited by caretakers who have taken advantage of the guardianship system,”said Senator Collins. “Preventing guardianship abuse requires law enforcement and social service agencies at all levels of government to work together, and theGuardianship…

From KKD: Judge Boliker and attorneys provide their excuses for stealing approx. $7k per month in Marital Assets from Dean Sallas

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

You would not believe. Dean has over the past year or so revealed to the public and to law enforcement that Judge Boliker and Byline Bank and Eve Epstein and OPG attorney Lisa Casanova have been participating in a criminal scheme to deprive Dean Sallas of all of his marital estate. They have been pretending that Amelia Sallas’ funds are not marital property and that Dean does not have the right to manage, control and spend those funds–even for his own necessities.

Prior to the guardianship, Dean had amassed some $9 million in real estate. But the Guardianship court stopped paying the mortgages (of course), threw them into foreclosure, presumably so banks and favored 3rd party entities could get a deal on them. This is common in probate and guardianship. If you complain, judges like Boliker will quickly turn a deaf ear.

So what’s the guardianship court’s excuse for stealing…

From KKD: The Sallas Case continues to be a travesty of Justice. The Judge and attorneys on the case have commandeered Dean’s assets though he is under no guardianship

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

This is exactly the point – it is also the point that Dr. Sugar, Rick Black, yours truly et al have been trying in vain to make.
The problem is that the elderly have so much money that is available to be stolen that the crooked guardians and judges cannot resist the temptation. Unfortunately when we live in a society wherein political parties sell polltical and judicial systems the most qualified and honest candidates for public and judicial office are not always placed in that office.
Looking a Cook County, Illinois is it a wonder that we have corruption. How many of our public officials are under Federal indictment? How many should be?
It is an open secret that a Judgeship is sold by the individuals within the Cook County Democratic organization for somewhere either at $150,000 or North thereof. (see John Kass (Chicago Tribune)) What can we expect from…

From KKD: Back to now: Names of Cook County judges charged with corruption c. 1991/Greylord

Joanne M Denison's avatarMaryGSykes.com

In case we never forget Greylord in Chicago where 45 judges, police and attorneys were indicted for corruption (in just one area, traffic court, other areas were not invovled) Ken Ditkowsky reminds us of the following Tribune article:

20TH JUDGE CHARGED WITH CORRUPTION

Matt O`ConnorCHICAGO TRIBUNE

Three years after Operation Greylord investigators went public with stunning charges of judicial corruption, a federal indictment released Wednesday charges, Cook County Judge Adam N. Stillo Sr. conspired to fix a criminal case secretly filed by theFBI.

Stillo, 74, is the second Cook County judge to be indicted on bribery charges in the last week and the 20th indicted in federal court since Operation Greylord. Fifteen judges were convicted and two acquitted in Greylord cases.

On Friday, retired Criminal Court Judge Thomas J. Maloney, in a case stemming from the Operation Gambat probe of 1st Ward corruption, was charged with…
