Same pictures zoom posted december 25, 2007

These pictures were first posted on December 25, 2007. I cannot zoom them on this post, but if you go to the post of December 25, 2007, you'll find them there. There you can zoom them and see all of the details. The insurance checks cashed by the attorneys were they defrauded me of the insurance money, and the fact that the second insurance check was cashed by them by forging my signature on its back. What kind of attorneys would do such a thing, cashing an insurance check by forging the client's signature on its back? The kind of attorney who knows nothing will happen to them because the State Bar of Texas doesn't discipline dishonest attorneys. Please note that I already had fired Ilene Smoger because she defrauded me but was forced by the State Bar of Texas to retain her as my attorney - by law, they should have disbarred her. They refused to do it. Ilene Smoger already knew she could get away with stealing the second insurance check because the State Bar of Texas wouldn't do anything to her. Did she received special treatment, or does the State bar of Texas does the same for all its members? Indeed, the State bar of Texas is a country club for lawyers. They shouldn't be the ones in charge of disciplining those same lawyers they coddle so much.
Dede Keith works for the Governor. As you see from her letter, she is aware of the misconduct by the State bar of Texas. The Governor of Texas knows about it, too. I wrote to him. They know that the State Bar of Texas allows dishonest attorneys to remain practicing in Texas with clean records, and that is very detrimental to the public. It only benefits the dishonest attorneys, not the public. The Governor's duty is to do what is best for the public, not for the dishonest attorneys. In that sense, Governor Perry is failing miserably at his job. He is not performing his duty.
Ilene Smoger should have been disbarred for committing Professional malpractice and State-jail Felonies and she still needs to be disbarred. There must be transparency in the government's decisions and the public must be able to know when attorneys are dishonest. Since the State Bar of Texas refuses to discipline attorneys who commit serious crimes, then another organization should take over.
Who knows how many more lawyers are in the same situation, [racticing law in Texas with clean records when they should have been disbarred.

Comment about the State Bar of Texas and Politicians

In this election year there is a strong focus on ethics. Both candidates claim to be agents of change and emphasize their commitment to purge the government of corruption. Down with earmarks, pork and payouts. Clean the government and don’t tolerate corruption at any level. Politicians and other elected officials are public servants whose number one priority is to serve the public and not their own personal interests.
Or so it should be.
It is not in Texas.
In Texas, the State Bar refuses to discipline attorneys who commit serious crimes. An attorney can defraud his/her client, forge a client’s signature on the back of an insurance check and cash it, commit insurance fraud and other felonies that merit disbarment and jail time, and the State Bar of Texas will not discipline say attorney and allow him/her to continue practicing law in Texas with clean records. Any questions regarding as why the State Bar of Texas breaks Texas law by doing so remain unanswered. According to the State bar of Texas, their decisions are confidential and they don’t need to explain why they decide not to discipline an attorney who commits Professional Malpractice.
Who knows how many attorneys are in Texas practicing law when they should have been disbarred, courtesy of the State Bar.
Texas politician are no help either. The public can write to them and lead with them for some help, to no avail. Southern-Fried-Justice at its very worst.
We need transparency in the government. Regardless of which candidate will be elected by year’s end, we need transparency now. We need a government that doesn’t tolerate corruption and protects the public, something the State Bar of Texas, and Texas politicians, are unwilling to do.
Too much pork in the barrel.
We need change. We need a government that doesn’t treat the public as its private property, as if we were the serfs of old. We need a government that combats cronyism and will do what is in the public’s best interest.
A government that will never allow the State Bar of Texas to break Texas law in order to protect a dishonest attorney who committed felonies.
A government unlike the one we have now in Texas.
A real government.
We need change.
Let’s hope we get it.
