Ill. Supreme Court law on excessive legal fees — Cripe v. Leiter

See  http://www.state.il.us/court/Opinions/SupremeCourt/1998/October/Opinions/HTML/84117.htm

where the Ill. Supreme court confirmed that lawyer’s fees are excluded under the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act, but for those of you out there that are livid over your trust’s or estate’s legal fees, read the case:

This court’s regulatory scheme extends to the area of attorneys’ fees. Rule 1.5 of the Rules of Professional Conduct specifically addresses the subject, providing, in pertinent part:

“(a) A lawyer’s fee shall be reasonable. The factors to be considered in determining the reasonableness of a fee include the following:

(1) the time and labor required, the novelty and difficulty of the questions involved, and the skill requisite to perform the legal service properly;

(2) the likelihood, if apparent to the client, that the acceptance of the particular employment will preclude other employment by the lawyer;

(3) the fee customarily charged in the locality for similar legal services;

(4) the amount involved and the results obtained;

(5) the time limitations imposed by the client or by the circumstances;

(6) the nature and length of the professional relationship with the client;

(7) the experience, reputation, and ability of the lawyer or lawyers performing the services; and

(8) whether the fee is fixed or contingent.” 134 Ill. 2d R. 1.5(a).

Rule 1.5 also addresses the attorney’s obligation to communicate to the client the basis or rate of the fee. 134 Ill. 2d R. 1.5(b). 

1.5 sets forth guidelines for contingent fee arrangements and the division of fees among attorneys. 134 Ill. 2d Rs. 1.5(c) through (j).

 

I think there is an argument that while the Illinois legislature said legal fees are not to be included under the CFA (which provides for legal fees in the enforcement thereof), the Illinois Sup. Ct. could have said, THEY are adopting the CFA as it applies to lawyers.

They had a chance to do some good, but did not.

Interesting case, In Re Boyer In re Estate of Boyar , 2012 IL App (1st) 111013, on taking of benefits under a testamentary instrument

From a blog fan who pointed out an interesting legal concept that is alive and in force in Illinois

The Summary from the Reporter of Decisions:

In an action arising from a dispute over the trust established by
petitioner’s father during his lifetime, the trial court properly dismissed
the surviving son’s petition challenging an amendment naming
respondent as the trustee on the ground that under the election doctrine,
the son’s acceptance of benefits under the trust prohibited him from
contesting the validity of the trust, notwithstanding the son’s argument
that the doctrine applied only to wills, since it applies equally to wills and
trusts, his taking of personal property belonging to the trust as a partial
distribution of his interest in the trust ratified and confirmed the trust in
its entirety and precluded him from challenging the operation of the
document, regardless of his claims that the property taken was “nominal”
and that he lacked full knowledge of the circumstances when he took the
property
 
Upshot: if you’re thinking of contesting a will or trust, do NOT accept anything under that will or trust before you get your motion to oppose on file.
 
But, you should also be aware that in Illinois that “drop dead” clauses in wills and trusts are valid also.  These are clauses whereby if you contest the will or trust you take nothing or just a small percent of the estate.
 
I have drafted “drop dead” clauses for quite a few parents out there who had squabbling siblings.
 
take care

42 USC section 10201–the ADA or Americans with Disabilities Act, can it help Probate Victims and their families?

Subject: ADA

 
 Lets start putting this together.
 
Guardianship has been sued by the criminal element within the legal profession for a bunch of purposes.    In the Wyman case it was used to get rid of wife!    In **** to dissolve a business relationship.    In Tyler to steal eight million dollars, in Gore 1.5 million dollars, in Sykes almost 2 million dollars *****.   
 
I am certain that the funds obtained were not reported on either their State or Federal Income taxes!     It therefore follows that we have tax evasion.    
 
To translate into simple terms.    Let us assume that the guardianship statute was used to get rid of a business partner.  The business partner is a fiduciary and therefore no matter how many court orders are obtain from the Court, any benefit that is obtained is taxable for Federal Income Tax and State income tax purposes!     Also the partner is liable for the breach of fiduciary relationship to the subservient partner.    A fiduciary cannot profit from his/her misdeeds.
 
When others join the foray they become conspirators and share the liability – including the criminal liability.    The outrageousness of invasion of privacy adds to the liability (tort) and is entitled to redress.
 
The foregoing notwithstanding society pays a price for the wrongful conduct of the guardianship and the corrupt public officials.   An adjudicated person cannot enter into contracts and an entity that deals with the adjudicated person is guilty of a misdemeanor.    The contract is void!    However, the only rights that are taken from the victim are those that he/she cannot reasonable perform.
 
Let me suggest that the Court appointed guardian who allow a situation to exist in which a person is wrongfully placed in a guardianship  – and does not on his/her own end the guardianship has personal responsibility (pecuniary) for all the expenses incurred.    Taking the Mary Sykes case as an example – Peter Schmiedel, Cynthia Farenga, Adam Stern, et al are all aware that Mary Sykes was never legally incompetent and more importantly was never properly adjudicated.    The videos that JoAnn published on her blog demonstrate the wrongful incarceration, sequestration, and taking of Mary’s liberty and assets.     By participation in this fraud each has proactively caused Mary harm and should be liable to her and Gloria for this tort.  (See Article 1 Section 12) of the Illinois Constitution of 1970.     
 
Mr. Larkin for his participation and assault on the First Amendment should share jointly and severally the liability.      Certainly Larkin is aware of Congress’ statement, to wit:
 

42 U.S. Code § 12101 – Findings and purpose

Current through Pub. L. 113-142, except 128. (See Public Laws for the current Congress.)
prev | next
(a) Findings

The Congress finds that—
(1) physical or mental disabilities in no way diminish a person’s right to fully participate in all aspects of society, yet many people with physical or mental disabilities have been precluded from doing so because of discrimination; others who have a record of a disability or are regarded as having a disability also have been subjected to discrimination;

(2) historically, society has tended to isolate and segregate individuals with disabilities, and, despite some improvements, such forms of discrimination against individuals with disabilities continue to be a serious and pervasive social problem;

(3) discrimination against individuals with disabilities persists in such critical areas as employment, housing, public accommodations, education, transportation, communication, recreation, institutionalization, health services, voting, and access to public services;

(4) unlike individuals who have experienced discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, or age, individuals who have experienced discrimination on the basis of disability have often had no legal recourse to redress such discrimination;

(5) individuals with disabilities continually encounter various forms of discrimination, including outright intentional exclusion, the discriminatory effects of architectural, transportation, and communication barriers, overprotective rules and policies, failure to make modifications to existing facilities and practices, exclusionary qualification standards and criteria, segregation, and relegation to lesser services, programs, activities, benefits, jobs, or other opportunities;

(6) census data, national polls, and other studies have documented that people with disabilities, as a group, occupy an inferior status in our society, and are severely disadvantaged socially, vocationally, economically, and educationally;

(7) the Nation’s proper goals regarding individuals with disabilities are to assure equality of opportunity, full participation, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency for such individuals; and

(8) the continuing existence of unfair and unnecessary discrimination and prejudice denies people with disabilities the opportunity to compete on an equal basis and to pursue those opportunities for which our free society is justifiably famous, and costs the United States billions of dollars in unnecessary expenses resulting from dependency and nonproductivity.

(b) Purpose

It is the purpose of this chapter—
(1) to provide a clear and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities;

(2) to provide clear, strong, consistent, enforceable standards addressing discrimination against individuals with disabilities;

(3) to ensure that the Federal Government plays a central role in enforcing the standards established in this chapter on behalf of individuals with disabilities; and

(4) to invoke the sweep of congressional authority, including the power to enforce the fourteenth amendment and to regulate commerce, in order to address the major areas of discrimination faced day-to-day by people with disabilities.
 
The do not think that the American government has ever had to deal with a cancer such as elder cleansing.      The corruption of certain judicial officials and certain members of the legal profession who facilitate this criminal behavior is so obnoxious that it warrants the strongest rebuke!     The Florida case of Stone is so obnoxious as stripped to its core is extortion by court order and misuse of the Courts.    It has the same ugly twin that give rise to the foreclosures of homes in which the plaintiff had no mortgage or note!    The distinction is that human beings are being treated as chattels!     Shades of Dred Scott and Buck vs. Bell!     
 
Democracy is not a spectator sport!     If we could just get State law enforcement to enforce the law diligently and honestly all of this will go away – unfortunately there is too much money to be made by the dishonest court appointed guardians and those who conspire with them.

An appeal to a Floria States Attorney to protect Barbara Stone and her mother from Elder and Family Abuse by the authorities

Subject: The illegal assault, prosecution and persecution of Barbara Stone and her mother
Auto forwarded by a Rule

Dear Mr Horn

I am an attorney in Illinois who writes a blog about probate cases* and I also practice  our probate decision handling dozens of cases involving guardianships where family members are isolated from their loved ones and placed in locked down nursing homes and are drugged.  Estates are drained by tied in attorneys and court appointed agencies who bill but do not protect or even care very much at all other than their financial renumerations.

The use of psychotropic drugs on persons over 60 and under 20 is contraindicated by the FDA and is not an FDA approved usage of those drugs.  As such, any licensed physician or physician’s assistant issuing such prescriptions should be promptly reported to the appropriate disciplinary authority for their licensing abuses.

I have heard that Ms. Barbara Stone has been isolated from her mother when she in fact has made diligent efforts to protect her mother and follow Federal and State laws pertaining to  Elder Abuse.  I also understand that Ms. Stone’s mother was drugged without notice and authorization by her.  This was a civil assault against her.

I understand that  it has been reported that Barbara’s mother had to be  admitted to the hospital emaciated and near death from lack of food and hydration.  I have received dozens of reports of such crimes, and I am appalled by the inappropriate response of law enforcement to typically blame the good family members that report these abuses and seek to protect the elder, but instead they become the victim and are prosecuted for their attempts to protect while the miscreants are granted immunity and allowed to continue in practices that foster these situations.  Such is a horrendous tragedy.  Simply due to their position, power and authority, nursing homes, hospitals and other institutions are not infrequently found with starved, dehydrated elders, and then when a family member reports, the family member is banned, false protective orders are obtained–all in an effort to deflect the true criminals, the licensed professionals that allow these crimes to happen under their own roofs.

I hope that you will cease putting Barbara through this turmoil that is the result of law enforcement’s and the state attorney failure to protect her mother while granting immunity to miscreants. It is time to stop these common practices.

Barbara and her mother must be reunited immediately–without restrictions and without any supervision. To deprive an 86 woman at the end of her life the comfort of her daughter is discriminatory under federal and state laws and is an act of cruel and unusual punishment under the US and Florida Constitutions.

Sincerely,

JoAnne Denison

 Tim sent me the following which indicates that Congress also made a strong statement in enacting ADA, to wit:
 

42 U.S. Code § 12101 – Findings and purpose

It therefore follows that the State officials who are not following their statutes and ADA are flirting with some very serious problems = including jail time.     The  refusal of lawyer disciplinary commissions to honor the mandate of the United STates of America and local law enforcement to not pro=actively protect the disabled and their families is of very serious concern.   

I am under the impression that Mr. Horn in the Stone case is a new broom.     We know that Mr. Coleman is the newly elected President of the Florida Bar.    Thus, both are blessed with a fresh start and the ability to make things right in the Stone case.    It is too late in some of the other cases;however, we have to start somewhere.     With a grand jury acting on health care fraud in South Florida it is an ideal time to clamp down on this guardianship fraud.
 
In Illinois and in the other states wherein elder cleansing is spreading it cancerous venom a strong response is also called for.    Mr. Jerome Larkin’s ARDC alteration of the transcripts of Judge Stuart’s testimony is a starting point.   The sudden demonstrable wealth of the guardian in the Sykes case is another starting point.    There can be no justification for the conduct of the guardians in the Illinois cases – what benefit was there to the Estate of Gore by the prospecting for Gold in the teeth of Alice Gore?     There is similarly no justification for Larkin’s assault on the First Amendment.

Subject: Fw: Fw: WestlawNext – Busse v. Motorola, Inc.

Following through on yesterday’s memorandum, it is important to note that when you examine the statutes it is clear that they are consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act.   Thus, Mr. Lahrman is 100% correct in his analysis.    
 
The tort of outrageous intrusion provides a cause of action that is available to the aggrieved.   As I have a right to the companionship of my spouse, my brother, my mother et al, I have standing!    As Tim Lahrman has pointed out there is no immunity under ADA.    Thus,  as an example, Jerome Larkin is ‘naked’ as to such an action – just as he is naked as to any immunity to aid and abet the felonies of elder cleansing.    
 
I am impressed with the detail of the Florida Statute:
 
 (1) A person who has been determined to be incapacitated retains the right: [1]
(a) To have an annual review of the guardianship report and plan.
(b) To have continuing review of the need for restriction of his or her rights.
(c) To be restored to capacity at the earliest possible time.
(d) To be treated humanely, with dignity and respect, and to be protected against abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
(e) To have a qualified guardian.
(f) To remain as independent as possible, including having his or her preference as to place and standard of living honored, either as he or she expressed or demonstrated his or her preference prior to the determination of his or her incapacity or as he or she currently expresses his or her preference, insofar as such request is reasonable.
(g) To be properly educated.
(h) To receive prudent financial management for his or her property and to be informed how his or her property is being managed, if he or she has lost the right to manage property [2] .
(i) To receive services and rehabilitation necessary to maximize the quality of life.
(j) To be free from discrimination because of his or her incapacity.
(k) To have access to the courts.
(l) To counsel.
(m) To receive visitors and communicate with others. [3]
(n) To notice of all proceedings related to determination of capacity and guardianship, unless the court finds the incapacitated person lacks the ability to comprehend the notice.
(o) To privacy.
 

[1] This retention of Rights is important as it is consistent with ADA, the uniform act and the State of Illinois Act.    1(d) is the most important as essentially it means that a disabled person is not prey!      It incorporates the provision of Americans with Disabilities.    Section 1(f) is more specific in incorporating ADA as it changes the standard from “best interests” to the preference of the disabled person.
[2] This second recognizes that not every guardianship gives the guardian carte blanc to the life savings of the victim.    It is only in the situation wherein the individual cannot manage his/her money.   Exactly what this means is left open.   It does not mean that the guardian is to be presumed to be more capable than the presumed incompetent.    In point of fact, the standard of competency is not very high.
[3] Isolation of the ward is prohibited – this is the most ignored portion of the act.   The guardians and the Court universally separate the ward from family and friends.
 
This is not Einstein stuff!     Florida has laid bare the Law of the Land and its legislature’s attempt to comply with the basic values of America.    Like our Jerome Larkin, many in the judiciary have chosen to ignore the obvious protections for their own pecuniary benefits.     (I make the assumption of pecuniary benefit based upon the fact that Larkin appears not to have filed the ethical disclosures required by statute and his continued proactive assault on the First Amendment).
 
What is interesting is the loyalty that Larkin exhibits to the miscreants.    At this point in time he is well aware that the jig is up!     Miriam Solo’s alleged role in the mining of Alice Gore’s teeth cannot be ‘covered up’ any more.   Cynthia Farenga, Adam Stern, Peter Schmiedel’s role in the wrongful conduct conducted in Judge Stuart’s courtroom (intimidation of Gloria Sykes by chaining her and threatening her) no longer can be sweep under the rug.   Judge Stuart admission under oath whether wrongfully purged from the transcript or not is still of record and was heard by onlookers!       Thus, Larkin is certainly aware that the rope is tightening.     All he had to do a few months ago was to do the job he was hired to do and he would escape!    However, like a suicide bomber, Larkin continues his assault on the First Amendment and in particular the Bill of Rights!     Why?
 
It would have been easy to dismiss his prosecution of JoAnne Dennison.    Win lose or draw 47 USCA 230 cannot be ignored, nor can the SCOTHUS decisions!     At some point in time law enforcement will have the courage to indict Larkin!     Even Larkin’s clout will not be enough to protect him – unless the clout wishes to share a jail cell!
Thus – why is he so pro=active!!!!
 
The answer to question will become evident very soon.    
 
Our focus however is not Larkin or his counterparts – our focus is the senior who has been railroaded and had his/her liberty, human and civil rights forfeited by our miscreant nazi captors.      If we get the information as to the felonies to law enforcement we stand a good chance of prosecution of the miscreants.    Health care fraud is killing all health care reform including insurance.    At 70% plus even the most inept bureaucrat has to recognize this fact!    Thus nursing homes, hospice facilities, guardianship, and suppliers of health care products have to obtain religion.    The religious training will have to be  by force as voluntary measures have failed.    Our current president has staked his legacy on health care, and unless he wants his administration to be an embarrassment the Administration has to forthwith start the prosecution of people such as Larkin!    
 
Providing the law enforcement people with accurate and concise information as to the miscreant activities means a tax revenue windfall for not only the Federal government but the State government.   Let’s look at Carolyn Troepe.      Prior to her wrongful (lack of jurisdiction) appointment as Mary Sykes’ guardian she and her chronically unemployed husband were insolvent.    Today, they host expensive parties, have made substantial improvements to their home, and Ms. T sports very very expensive jewelry.    Adam Stern sports a 60,000 dollar Federal Tax lien.  Mary’s substantial estate has been reduced to virtually zero!     How much Jerome Larkin, Adam Stern, Cynthia Farenga, Peter Schmiedel et al have received from the Estate is unknown.       Whatever they received is taxable income!     A similar scenario is present in every one the cases.    In Gore it is 1.5 million.   In Tyler it is eight million, etc., etc.    
 
The only logical reason that I can up with for these fiduciaries to be so resistant to the Statutes, and their obligations to the disabled person is that the amount of money to be gained is so great that ******.
 
IN THE EVENT THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT is also not interested in doing its job we may have to go to Court ourselves.    Attached is information on one of the causes of action that we should consider.     HOWEVER  at this point in time lets keep law enforcement appraised and keep demanding that they end the American gulag and put an end to the 9/11 attack on American values augmented by people such as Jerome Larkin, et al.

Subject: Guardianship fraud

Certain of the members of the Florida Bar use their organization as a front for their orchestrating and acting as an accomplice to cause atrocities, embezzlement and death of certain classes of citizens, the elderly, disabled and the vulnerable in a scheme operating under the guise of guardianship. 

My 86 year old mother, Helen Stone is being abused, extorted and her death is being orchestrated by a criminal enterprise that operates under a guise of “guardianship”. 

Federal and State Laws prohibit abuse, aggravated abuse, exploitation, embezzlement and discrimination.  They prohibit murder and premeditated murder.

 

This lawless operation has taken human ownership of my mother. She is a chattel in their possession with less rights than a criminal. 

  1. This criminal enterprise takes the assets of their victim pre-death.  This is the most byzantine of concepts.  The predator attorney for a family member of course knows that once a person is placed in a guardianship, their assets will NEVER be returned to them.  Like the Third Reich confiscated the assets of their victims in Nazi Germany, so is the activity of the attorneys who engage in extorting ill gotten gains .
  1. Dr. Swier describes this treasonous conduct in his expose of the atrocities that were committed against Marie Winkleman

 

http://drrichswier.com/2014/02/14/free-marie-winkelman-pray-for-justice-now/

 

  1. Once the assets of their victim get transferred to the criminal enterprise their agenda becomes shifts to the manner in which to cause the death of their prey while making it appear they are being attended and while gauging how to most effectively cause their death .  It is a known fact the elderly die and deteriorate without stimulation and their loved ones in their life.    The masterminds of this murderous industry employ stay away orders as the tool to effectuate the isolation.  All family members except those who are participating in the premeditated death plot are vanished by the stroke of a pen from their loved one.  All over the state,  children are prohibited from seeing their parents.  Verboten –  Third Reich activities. How is it possible that children and family members are harmful to their loved ones and their loved ones are being “protected” by these mobsters? It is not possible.  It is crime so heinous that EMERGENCY MEASURES ARE NEEDED.
  1. Once isolated the victim is alone and the crimes become insidious. Committed in secrecy with no eyes.   Their house becomes a house of horrors.  My mother had no food.  My mother was left in her bed with soiled clothes and drugged mercilessly.    She was rushed by emergency to the hospital after I sent my spiritual leader to see her and he reported she was incoherent.  She was diagnosed in the hospital with dehydration, malnutrition, pneumonia, fractures, and other life threatening conditions.  She was emaciated.  She was forcibly implanted a feeding tube although she was perfectly capable of eating. She has now been forcibly taken to a lock down facility where she is chemically restrained. She was given fake dime store glasses so has constant headaches as she cannot see.  Her torment is masterminded by a monster / mobster with a law license. 
  1. Web sites are prolific describing the new Third Reich.
  1. The new atrocity is the “feeding tube” guise.  This has been exposed as a deprivation of life tactic.  Feeding tubes are forced on people perfectly capable of eating   because it is convenient for and serves the interest of their “caretaker” who has no need to tend to them or feed them.  These people are DEPRIVED OF THEIR RIGHT TO EAT AND FORCED TO UNERGO SURGERY TO IMPLANT A FEEDING TUBE.   This atrocity was forced on my mother.   Mrs. Schindler, Terri Schiavo’s mother has discussed this with me and others in great depth. 

Guardianship is a crime against humanity.  We are watching our loved ones being deprived of their life under our eyes.  They are helplessly watching their own death occur.  Can you imagine?   

 THE BAR SHOULD ACCEPT NO LESS THAN  ZERO  TOLERANCE – these lawyers denigrate all lawyers.

BRING MY MOTHER HOME TO ME.  NOW.  IMMEDIATELY.  MY MOTHER IS 86 YEARS OLD.  SHE IS BEING ABUSED.  SHE IS BEING EXPLOITED.  SHE IS BEING SUBJECTED TO  ATROCITIES.  SHE HAS SUFFERED ABUSES FOR A THOUSAND LIFETIMES.  SHE DESERVES TO AND MUST LIVE HER REMAINING DAYS IN COMFORT AND WITH HER DAUGHER. 

This is a call for the immediate disbarment of the lawyer engaged in this crime, his arrest and indictment and the arrest and indictment of the criminal enterprise.

Dearest Barbara;

 

My heat goes out to you.  The feeding tube ruse, I agree is a game of death.  Ask Bev and Ken Cooper about her beloved mother who was capable of eating, loved to eat.  So what did they do?  The family protested a feeding tube, so her 29 gold teeth were pulled and she was starved to death!  Cold, calculated and merciless. 

Our country made fun of Russia for it’s orphan children of the poor mothers who were housed cheek to jowl in rotten orphanages, hands tied above their heads or behind their backs so food could be shoved in without hands in the way.  As a result, Russian orphans preferred to eat with hands above their heads or behind their backs.  Americans called that cruel, all the while forcing feeding tubes down seniors that enjoyed leisurely dining with one problem– a caretaker had to help for 15 to 30 minutes.  Greedy nursing home operators won’t pay for that. It’s $5,000 per month for balogny sandwiches tossed at the senior and 5 cent cups of coffee– or nothing.  I hear from seniors in “retirement homes” which are paid for by medicare.  It’s cereal for breakfast, a cheap sandwich for lunch and dinner.  Maybe a couple of slices of cold canned deboned turkey for 2 or 3 holidays per year.  That’s where the state puts them.  Our OPG does it and drains estates of $300k, $500k and up, leaving seniors in these places.  The OPG and probate attorneys take the money for fees and their tied in friends, and eventually the senior is left homeless and penniless.  They take all the money while the senior’s social security pays for dumps to live in with sandwiches for meals.

Again, my heart goes out to you and your mother.  You will both be in my hearts and prayers with 1000 angels to pray and light candles for you both too.

This has to end.   Barbara, they can put you under house arrest, but they cannot silence your truth.  Keep on speaking out.  Don’t stop.

Subject: Some thoughts on the Barbara Stone matter – and complaint pursuant to 18 USCA 4 to Law Enforcement.

 

Ms. Stone – the atrocities committed against your mother are barbaric and wrong and to be blunt, the acts of a terrorist. ISIS has more respect for the law than appears to be the situation that you face!

I have previously suggested that as attorneys and judges are involved the corrupt actions must be as a matter of law reported to not only the Florida Bar, but law enforcement pursuant to 18 USCA 4.  

As I pointed out to you and Dr. Sugar yesterday the Florida Statute is very specific in protecting the rights of senior citizens and the disabled.    Thus, every member of the Florida Bar is charged with the knowledge that the usurping of the Civil and Human Rights of your mother was not only wrongful but a Felony.    The act of lawyers in preying on an elder vulnerable person by orchestrating the deprivation of food, medical attention and services designed to cause her death and stockpile her assets so this attorney can get sequester them is garden variety theft.    The Charade of Judicial Proceedings in these elder cleansing case is so reprehensible that it warrants the most severe reprimand including disbarment and jail time.   

The fabricating litigation (including quasi criminal proceedings) against you as her (your mother’s) heir is part of an ongoing scheme that discredits not only the legal profession but the State of Florida.   The action labels the Florida justice system in the most derogatory terms and converts the proceedings to the worst category of national socialist gulag [1] .   The Court in prosecuting you in a criminal vein for protesting the exercise of your Civil Rights is an independent violation of the law that cannot be condoned by the United States of America, the State of Florida, or any legitimate Court.    I am therefore urging the FLORIDA BAR and Mr. Coleman to instanter intervene in the travesty of proceedings that you are involved and abrogate the Taliban experience that you are having in Florida.

A Judge ruling that you have no standing to protest the total vitiation of the Florida remedial Statute designed to protect people such as your mother is a clear violation of 42 USCA 1983 and an assault on the First Amendment that cannot be tolerated.   To then press “criminal charges against you” (non-contempt) is an absurdity.   Prefatory rulings in criminal proceedings are ipso facto unconstitutional and a demonstration of bias, and just as serious is for you to not have an appointed attorney and be informed of your RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.   An honest intelligent complete and comprehensive investigation of your case not only required it is mandated by the fundamental credos of America.

  If Judges and lawyers ignore the ‘core values’ of America and the Rule of Law as set forth by the Supreme Court of the United States were have anarchy and chaos.

Subject: verification of claims

Hundreds of citizens have complained to law enforcement, public officials, the courts, lawyer disciplinary commissions and just about anyone who will listen concerning the felonies of elder cleansing.    Most of the complaints have fallen upon deaf ears.
 
The argument of the miscreants is very simple.   How could these claims have any veracity as a Judge has examined them and found them to be frivolous.   The question then becomes – do you trust the great unwashed or a judge wearing the mantel of respectability and the justice system?    The public memory is short and thus, the miscreant’s appeal allows the conspirators to sweep even the most heinous of felonies under the rug.   It also discourages law enforcement as they recognize that the same judicial mentality is going to address the issue and the result is predictable.   
 
Thus, by the simple prevarication of claiming that the charges are all lies the felons are able to thwart any attempt to end their assaults on the Bill of Rights.    Yes – that is what was done in the 1930s and resulted in the holocaust!   Yes, that is what happened so as to promulgate Operation Greylord!    Yes, that is the story of the Soviet gulags!    
 
How do we counter the conspiracy (18 USCA 371)?   Instead of preaching to the choir each victim or family member of a victim should file verified complaints with the Administrators of the Americans with Disabilities (Justice Department), local, federal and state law enforcement, attorney disciplinary commission, elected representatives and make certain that they are published on one or more of the various blogs devoted to defeating those predators who are proactively conducting the war on the elderly and the disabled. 
 
Why will this be effective when nothing has worked in the past?   There is no guaranty; however, an errant and dishonorable public servant–whether a lawyer, judge, political figure, or an administrator charged with protecting the public from lawyers — at some time is going to be called to account.   Take Mr. Jerome Larkin.   Larkin routinely claims that anyone who does not comport with his mindset and who opposes elder cleansing is a liar.  When called to detail any statement that was untrue or inaccurate of course he never did so freely admitting that he could not – however, his kangaroo commissions had no trouble making generic false findings contrary to their mandate.    Now that 4 people without a scintilla of knowledge attest that black is white, white is black, right is wrong, wrong is right etc it becomes an accepted fact!   HOWEVER, America is still a Nation of Laws and we still have some honest law enforcement people.   Thus, at some point in time, Larkin and his ilk are going to have to provide some backup to their totally false statements — and law enforcement will have verified statements to question each of the miscreants.    
 
It has been pointed out that disabled people are not second class citizens and as to public facilities they must be afforded ‘reasonable accommodation.’   By railroading citizens into un-necessary and predatory guardianships the bad guys are outsmarted themselves.  1) they brought the last piece of remedial legislation into play – i.e. Americans with Disabilities – and Federal jurisdiction; 2) they created fiduciary relationships; and 3) they placed firm legal limits on their ability to cover up their criminal activities.   [As an example – Larkin is aware that Farenga and Stern as guardian ad litem had a duty to report to the Court the robbery of Mary and Gloria’s safety deposit box, the large number of emergency room visits by Mary, the improper segregation of Mary from her younger daughter and her two siblings etc.   Larkin in assaulting JoAnne’s and my First Amendment Rights committed serious criminal activity in the nature of a felony]
 
All the laws enacted are intended to work together – if a law enforcement officer has all the information available in a verified form his job is made much easier and the reward of a conviction is enhanced.

It should also be noted that in 2013 that the top 10 banks, from JP Morgan Chase to US Bank and Citibank, etc. paid 17 BILLION DOLLARS  in a variety of fines, from selling worthless mortgages to Fannie Mae (JP Morgan Chase) to the almost $9 billion will go to homeowners who were victims of illegal foreclosure practices.  http://online.wsj.com/articles/bank-of-america-near-16-billion-to-17-billion-settlement-1407355290
 
I just encountered someone this week that was never served in a mortgage foreclosure, but evicted any way.  Another person suffered roof leaks, moved out, the landlord stole all this person’s stuff, he came back, the landlord called the police, said the lease produced was a forgery and he changed the dates by a year.  The Victim was arrested.  We just found out this “landlord” didn’t even have title–the property was owned by the bank after foreclosure!  Please, if you lease, check the title records.  If property is involved in a foreclosure–before or after, a tenant is entitled to 90 days notice prior to an eviction, for obvious reasons.
 
The top banks will pay over 100 BILLION in legal fees to defend various nefarious actions against the US government and consumers alike.  http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-08-28/u-s-bank-legal-bills-exceed-100-billion.html

From Dr. Richard Cordero — a request to work together and cooperate and some great ideas

Dear Readers;

The purpose of this blog is to promote truth and justice.  We must work together. There are too many dark and evil entities out there in the form of lawyers, court appointed workers and companies, judges and others who are victimizing and terrorizing wards and their families.  Justice and truth must prevail.

From Dr. Cordero– another advocate for justice:

Dear Ms. Denison,

Thank you for your email and for your words of appreciation.

You may post the previous email as well as its follow-up, which is below.

Can you, your coreaders, and we work together as proposed in those two emails?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Dr. Richard Cordero, Esq.

Judicial Discipline Reform

New York City

*****************************************************************

First join forces to inform & outrage public re wrongdoing judges, remove them, then new legislation

 

Dear Mr. Roland and Advocates of Honest Judiciaries,

 

Thank you for all your emails concerning my 3-step plan of action for exposing wrongdoing judges and bringing about judicial reform. I appreciate your kind words about it.

 

In particular, I am encouraged by the possibility that we may be able to work together. As I have repeatedly stated, we, advocates of honest judiciaries, need to join forces or we will continue to achieve only what we have achieved so far: nothing( ol:127¶4 ).

  1. Timing: the public must be informed of the nature, extent, and gravity of judges’ wrongdoing before politicians adopt window dressing provisions

 

  1. Your points, Mr. Roland, are well taken and presuppose for their implementation that we join forces. The pertinence of your 5 th point should be highlighted because it deals with the critical issue of timing. You wrote:

 

  1. If you can, try to present the more appealing and easily understood reforms to the voters before the referendum, because it might persuade some to cast a yes vote.”

 

  1. Wrongdoing judges now on the bench will still be there to misapply in self-interest any new statutory and constitutional provisions

 

  1. Even constitutional amendments, let alone a statute, will leave in place wrongdoing judges to apply them. They will apply the new provisions in the same manner as they have current ones up to now: to protect themselves and each other to the detriment of parties and the rest of the public:

 

  1. Federal chief circuit judges systematically dismiss 99.82% of misconduct complaints against their peers( jur:10-14 ) and together with other judges in circuit councils 96 ( jur:20 ) deny up to 100% of petitions to review those dismissals( jur:24§§b-d ). In effect, they have arrogated to themselves the power to nullify in self-interest through their dishonest application the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act of 1980 (28 U.S. Code §§ 351-364 18a ), enacted by the other two branches to enable any person to file a complaint against a federal judge (hereafter the Act).

 

  1. Likewise, they routinely disregard 28 U.S.C. §455 40 , which imposes on them the duty to dis-qualify themselves on their own motion where “[their] impartiality might reasonably be ques-tioned” or where they have a bias 271 or conflict of interests affecting them or their relatives, never mind their denial out of hand of motions by parties for their disqualification on such grounds 272 .

 

  1. Today’s wrongdoing judges will not be forced to respect the provisions against their own inter-ests contained in a new ink-besmirched piece of paper issued in future from Congress or a consti-tutional convention any more than they have been forced by current similarly besmirched paper. Their self-serving performance of their office will ensure that no complaint or motion ever crosses whatever new threshold is set for judges to take disciplinary action against themselves.

 

  1. Politicians who do not investigate for wrongdoing ‘their men and women on the bench’ will not adopt effective provisions against them

 

  1. Politicians have no interest in adopting, much less enforcing, provisions against judges, whom they recommended, nominated, and confirmed to judgeships( 77§§5-6 ). In fact, they disregard their own checks and balances on judges( 50¶¶95-97 ) in the form of the Annual Report that they require the Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts 10 http://Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org/docs/28usc601-613_Adm_Off.pdf to submit to Congress 23a http://Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org/docs/28usc601-613_Adm_Off.pdf with the statistics 19a on judges’ handling of complaints against them.

 

  1. Through their covering-up and encouraging disregard, politicians act as accessories after the judges’ Act-nullifying conduct in the year covered by a Report and accessories before such conduct in the following year.

 

  1. By so holding ‘their own men and women on the bench’ unaccountable, politicians expect them to declare the statutes that form a party’s legislative agenda constitutional or unconstitutional 17a , as the case may be. Just examine how the majority of 5-4 votes in the Supreme Court are in har-mony with the party affiliation of the presidents who nominated the several justices.

 

  1. Likewise, politicians expect that by not investigating judges, the latter will have no reason to retaliate against them if they appear before their bench charged with their own wrongdoing 15 .

 

  1. Only an informed and outraged public can force wrongdoing judges out of the bench and hold the remaining and new judges accountable

 

  1. Before any referendum is held, and even before any discussion begins about amending the Constitution –rendered opportune after Michigan became last June the 34 th state to call for a constitu-tional convention ( jur:139fn 270 >Ln:309 ) -, the public must be informed about the nature, extent, and gravity of judges’ wrongdoing( ol:127¶4 ) and its harm to the public’s property, liberty, and lives( jur:5§3 ).

 

  1. Indeed, the national public will be outraged upon learning that the unaccountability of federal judges, who constitute the only national jurisdiction, induces them to engage risklessly in wrongdoing. The latter includes the judges’ arbitrary and harmful disregard for the constraints of due process as well as for the law applicable to, and the facts of, the cases that parties bring before them, which judges fob off with dishonest adjudicative services( ol:128 § c ).

 

  1. Judges also do wrong by participating in criminal activity, such as concealment of assets to evade taxes and launder money( 65§§1-3 ), whereby they serve themselves indulgence in boundless conduct. By what they wrongfully deny others and allow themselves to do they usurp the status of Judges Above the Law.

 

  1. The information about wrongdoing judges’ abusive and unequal treatment will outrage the pub-lic. It will also make understandable the far-reaching changes in statutory( 158§7 ) and consti-tutional provisions necessary to ensure that judges comply with the rule of law and administer to others and themselves Equal Justice Under Law, e.g.,

 

  1. the establishment of independent citizen boards of judicial accountability and discipline( 160§8 )

 

  1. establishment of an inspector general for the judiciary ( 158§6 );

 

  1. the elimination of tenured judgeships;

 

  1. the holding of all judicial meetings on an open door basis( ol:127 ¶ 4a ); etc.

 

  1. A public outraged through information and assertively demanding those changes is indispensable. Without it, neither conniving politicians nor wrongdoing judges can be reasonably expected to make changes entailing their loss of power or privileged status.

 

  1. Nor will wrongdoing judges apply any change honestly to give it effect in practice, for their interest lies in a cover-up and the frustration of all accountability measures. This calls for their removal from the bench. It can be effected under the current constitutional provision of Art. III, Sec. 1 12b , which allows the holding of a judgeship only “ during good Behaviour ” 12a .

 

  1. Only an outraged public can generate the opinion pressure needed to cause the resignation or impeachment of wrongdoing judges, the way it caused S.Ct. Justice Abe Fortas to resign in 1969 ( 92§d )…or to terminate the careers of politicians indifferent to its demands, the way voters in the Virginia primaries terminated the career of HR Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

 

  1. Only politicians frightened at the prospect of having their political careers similarly terminated can find it in their highest interest, survival, to push through far-reaching statutory provisions and constitutional amendments for judicial reform and ensure that they are effectively applied.

 

  1. Information about wrongdoing judges can enlighten the public about its status as the source of political power in ‘government of, by, and for the people’ 172 and about the need and its means( ol: 129¶9 ) to assert such status. It can so outrage the public as to stir it up to change the We the People -government balance of power:

 

  1. The People are the employer of public officers, including judicial ones, and can change the terms of employment, which they can enforce through citizen boards rather than those officers to require transparency of performance, accountability, disci-pline, and liability to compensate their wrongdoing’s victims.

 

  1. An informed and outraged public can develop into an assertive, Tea Party-like civic movement: the People ’s Sunrise( jur:164§9 ).

 

  1. The time is now, before the elections and a constitutional convention, for us to join forces to inform and outrage the people

 

  1. I have proposed a 3-step plan of action( ol:127 ) for judicial wrongdoing exposure and reform: read the study of it( title ), continue it, and propose action. The proposed action is reasonable and feasible in terms of effort and money: to inform through presentations( Lsch:9 ) of:

 

  1. the evidence already available of judges’ wrongdoing( jur:§§A-B );

 

  1. investigative activities( ol:115 ), e.g., the pursuit of two stories( ol:100 ) that can outrage the public at the nature, extent , and gravity of judges’ wrongdoing in connivance with politicians :

 

1). the President Obama-Justice Sotomayor story and the Follow the money! investigation; and

 

2) the Federal Judiciary-NSA story and the Follow it wirelessly! investigation; and

 

  1. the material and moral rewards( ol:3§F ) that can be earned by pursuing those activities and stories, such as winning a Pulitzer Prize, being played in a blockbuster movie, and receiving the recognition of a grateful nation as We the People ’s Champions of Justice.

 

  1. The presentations are to be made to professionals( 128 § 4 ) and graduate students( 129§b ), such as:

 

  1. journalists and media outlets ( ol:22 , 26 , 88 ) invited to private meetings or press conferences;

 

  1. graduate schools of:

 

1) journalism(ol:54; Lsch:23)

 

2) law(Lsch:1, 21) and

 

3) business(jur:104¶¶236-237)

 

4) Information Technology(ol:42, 60);

 

  1. public interest entities( jur:86§4 );

 

  1. political meetings( ol:51 , 58 ); etc.

 

  1. Swapping emails among us will get us nowhere.

 

  1. Sending just one person to Congress, such as HR Candidate Andy Ostrowski, for him to persuade as many among the other 434 HR members as necessary, who are limited to a 2-year mandate and from day 1 are working on their ree-lection, to work against their own interest by taking on life-tenured unaccountable federal judges, is a mission impossible. If we do not provide Mr. Ostrowski with the support of like-minded candidates and eventually elected ones not only in the House, but also in the Senate, as well as the much more important support of an informed, outraged, and assertive national public, we too will fail in our effort at exposing judges’ wrongdoing and bringing about judicial reform.

 

  1. Thus, are we willing to join forces and, if so, work actively, not just provide each other moral support, to implement that plan of action?

 

  1. Timing is of the essence: The public should be informed and outraged before the mid-term election; the invaluable help of graduate students and others should be sought at the beginning of the academic year.

 

  1. How can you contribute to arranging the proposed presentations?

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Subject: COMPLAINT TO ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES CONCERNING FELONIES COMMITTED (18 usca 4) & COMPLAINT PURSUANT TO ADA ON BEHALF OF PERSONS WHO ARE BEING DENIED THEIR CIVIL, HUMAN, AND PROPERTY RIGHTS BY THE APPOINTMENT OF GUARDIANS – THE SAID GUARDIANS EXCEEDING THEIR AUTHORITY.

 
This morning August 22, 2014 the Chicago Tribune reports that a criminal lawyer is being prosecuted for his subordination of perjury.    There is no report that Mr. Jerome Larkin or any of his staff members are being prosecuted for their role in the alleged subordination of perjury that occurred during the kangaroo hearings involving Attorney JoAnne Denison, or the perjury that was committed during Mr. Larkin’s assault on the First Amendment in the Amu case or in my case.
The facts are very simple.    Judge Stuart was asked questions concerning the ‘chaining’ of Ms. Gloria Sykes in Judge Stuart’s courtroom.    As there were court watchers present Mr. Larkin faces some serious legal problems because Judge Stuart is reported to have first denied that Ms. Sykes was handcuffed as part of the intimidation process, and then blurted out that this was the first only time such an event occurred.     As these proceedings are tightly controlled and there is evidence of ex-parte communications between the trier of fact and Mr. Larkin’s people the subordination of perjury problem is very acute.    The problem is aggravated by the fact that the panels in spite of having to address a standard of “clear and convincing evidence” in fact require no evidence and on facts to convict.    For instance, Mr. Larkin and the miscreant guardians and judicial officials have yet to disclose a single fact that Mr. Amu, Ms. Denison or I stated that was false much less provide any proof that such fact was in fact false.  
When the transcript of Judge Stuart’s testimony was written up the transcript was reported to be altered so as to rectify and sanitize the aforesaid testimony.      As the Court reporter makes an audio recording to the testimony, Ms. Denison requested the same.      Hysterically Larkin and his attorneys have refused to provide the audio.         Mr. Larkin has a delegation for the Supreme Court of Illinois to protect the public from unethical lawyers.      How then does Mr. Larkin first present a witness who appears to be ‘frugal with the truth’ and then a transcript the uses an improper literary license in its presentation so as to alter the evidence presented so that the evidence is not in accord with objective reality?
Pursuant to 18 USCA 4 I am forwarding this note to the Department of Justice to report yet another felony that is occurring in the office of the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission.   I am also pursuant to Himmel reporting Mr. Larkin’s unacceptable and ethically challenged behavior to the Commission.   No I do not expect that they will do an HONEST intelligent complete or comprehensive investigation – from past history, I expect we will get another letter telling us to ‘pound sand!’     However, the problems reported are very serious and are a cancer that has infected the fabric of America.    Therefore, they need to be addressed.
To reiterate:
1)      First Amendment.      Even a pre-teen knows that all citizens have the duty pursuant to 18 USCA 4 to report felonies to law enforcement.     The right to petition the government is clearly stated not only in the First Amendment but in Article 1 section 4 of the Illinois Constitution and reiterated again at 735 ILCS 110/5.      Mr. Larkin is uninterested and therefore he has prosecuted lawyers for complaining about corruption in the Courts.    Ms. Denison, Mr. Amu and I have been victims of Larkin’s ultra vires and unconstitutional behavior.
2)      Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment.      Equal protection of the law is a ‘core value’ of America; however, Mr. Larkin does not recognize the same.     The proceedings before his panels are notorious for being kangaroo courts replete with ex-parte communications, perjury, bias and other deficiencies.    The proceedings against Mr. Amu smack of racism!      I am surprised that the panel did not chuck its suit for White Sheets and hoods!
3)      Discrimination against the elderly, the disabled, and the infirm.      There are several ways that one can look at Mr.  Larkin’s actions.    The problem is in every way that the actions are described the actions are reprehensible and wrong.     In both my proceeding and that of Ms. Denison the treatment of Ms. Gloria Sykes is and was totally improper and ethically challenged.    One of the most glaring acts occurred on or about July 1.     As the evidence of the criminal activity of the two guardian ad litem and the guardian mounted so that even the Judges were indicating embarrassment concerning the miscreant behavior a senior attorney (Ms. Guzman) refused a complaint against the miscreants on the basis that Adam Stern had been appointed guardian ad litem for Gloria Sykes.     Of course Ms. Guzman was operating under the standard credo of the IARDC as administered by Larkin – i.e. do not confuse me with the facts, I’ve made up my mind.     When Ms. Sykes voiced her outrage at the knowingly false statement Ms. Guzman 17 days later claimed that her prevarication was a ‘typo!’    
 
Larkin and the IARDC are aware of Congress has decreed in the Americans with Disabilities Act that disabled people are be afforded reasonable accommodation for their disability.    755 ILCS 5/11a – 3 (b) recites the goal of the State of Illinois and thus limits any adventure by judicial officials and guardians in excess of the ADA.     In a State in which school children have difficulty naming the governors who have not gone to jail and in which it has been calculated that $3008 dollars a year per capita is the cost of corruption it is not surprising that some judges and some lawyers would create a cottage industry –for profit – that preys on the elderly.   
 
Ms. Denison and I pursuant to 18 USCA 4 and our moral conscience started documenting and complaining to law enforcement concerning the infamies  of some of the more famous guardian ad litem and guardians.    Mr. Larkin in a blatant and obvious attempt to silence me and any other attorney who might protest filed ambiguous and misleading averments claiming that I was making some unspecified, unidentified, and idiopathic false statements concerning judicial officials.       Ms. Denison was accused of publishing the statements on her blog even though 47 USCA 230 provides her with complete immunity.     Mr. Larkin was aware of 1) that the statements that were published were all based upon sworn affidavits of the family members and friends of victims, and 2) the lack of denial by the averred miscreant.     Mr. Larkin was also aware that the statements were all protected by the First Amendment and several years prior a bunch of judicial officials including lawyers, judges, and court personnel went to jail for attempting and participating in a not to dissimilar stunt.
 
Never the less Larkin and attorneys employed by the State of Illinois to serve in the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission commenced a concerted effort to silence any attorney who sought to protest the criminal conduct of elder cleansing i.e.   the railroading of senior into a guardianship wherein the guardians isolated the victim from his/her family, his /her liberty interest, and whatever assets the victim might own possess or otherwise have viable claim.     After the cottage industry of judicial officials and those who aid and abet the criminal process is completed that victim is assisted to perform an involuntary assisted suicide.
 
Up to this point in time anyone who is taking the time to read this e-mail knows that I’ve made this statement dozens of times and in a dozen different ways; however, Mr. Tim Larkin sat me down this week to point out that while everything that I’ve said to this point in time is accurate and presents a horrible cancer that threatens to destroy the core values of America,  Congress and the Justice Department have been much more specific in informing the public as to how twenty-first Century America expects its disabled people to be treated.    Thus, the Americans with Disabilities Act.
 
The ADA is not another of those acts that congress or a legislature enacted so that some political hack could go back to his district and tell the public how he passed legislature that was going to bring world peace to *****.     It is a credo!     It is a manifesto!      And it says that America society shall accommodate the deficiencies of its disabled so that they will enjoy America just as if they were not disabled.     To indicate that this is serious stuff, the exceptions are few but they are significant.   Certain self-inflicted disabilities are not covered.  
 
What does this mean?    It means that when Adam Stern reports that Mary Sykes does not want **** and Mary is recorded on a video and pens a written statement that she wants ***** the Court or other provider is required to make reasonably available ***** for Mary.     It also means that if Mary is capable of doing her banking, visiting her sisters, jawing with her younger daughter the guardian has no power or ability to interfere.    The Cynthia Farenga or Peter Schmiedel excuse of the family agitating Mary is not available, applicable, appropriate or even allowable.    The ravaging of Mary Sykes’ estate even with a Court order is a violation of ADA.    I do not have to go into detail as the ADA cases and the position of the Justice Department on the subject are a matter of public record.   This public record is presumed to be KNOWN to lawyers such as Larkin Guzman, Black, Stern, Solo, Farenga, Schmiedel etc.   
 
What this means therefore is that Larkin, Guzman, Black, Stern, Solo Farenga, Schmiedel et al have acted in concert to deny Mary Sykes, Alice Gore ***** their Civil Rights and protections provided for pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act.     It also means that all those who have acted in concert with them directly or indirectly are also guilty.      The active participation in a scheme to violated the Civil Rights of a disabled person is a very serious offense and must be addressed.     ADA provides for substantial penalties for the violations.
 
As evidence of these violations I incorporate by reference the following official files:
 
1)      The bogus disciplinary proceedings including documents filed in the various courts in the cases of myself, Ms. Denison, and any other attorney who was directly or indirectly involved in a guardianship case.     (These files will  demonstrate that all attempts by private citizens to obtain an ‘accommodate’ for a disabled person was thwarted by not only Larkin, Guzman, assorted judicial officials, but a host of other co-conspirators.)
2)      The Probate Court files maintained by various Circuit Courts clerks in guardianship cases such as Sykes 09 P4585, Gore, Wyman, Tyler etc in Illinois
3)      GA0 reports to Congress
4)      Citizen complaints and protests to lawyer disciplinary commissions concerning the actions of certain judges  such as Connors, Stuart, Reynolds guardian ad litem such as Stern, Farenga, Schmiedel, Solo, administrators such as Larkin, Guzman, Black,
Supra, I referred to the incident involving Gloria Sykes.   Gloria Sykes is the younger daughter of Mary Sykes.    As part of a treatment for a disability Ms. Sykes has a ‘helper’ or ‘companion’ dog.    This animal is essential to Ms. Sykes’ health.   Such is a disability that is recognized pursuant to ADA.     The threat of a guardian ad litem to ‘kill’ Ms. Sykes treatment dog does not qualify as an “accommodation”     The arbitrary refusal of Attorney Black and Attorney Larkin to not allow Gloria to have the dog present with Gloria as she testifies in not an acceptable accommodation under the act.     This is especially true as the excuse made was a bold faced untruth – Larkin’s attorney claimed falsely that the building would not allow the animal in the building.
Reasonable accommodation is the LAW OF THE LAND.     When we elect Jerome Larkin dictator he can change the law.    Until that date he should be required like every other citizen to comply with the law.

Subject: OVER-REACHING – criminal violations of civil rights – 

Overlooked in so many of the Elder Cleansing cases is square one!    In Sykes, it appears that Mary was declared incompetent by the agreement of the two guardian ad litem and the petitioner.  (see Adam Stern e-mail to Gloria Sykes).    In Wyman the determination was even more venal.    Judges in each of these cases ‘rubber stamped’ the determinations of the members of the cottage industry of elder cleansing and even though everyone knows that criminal conduct has occurred nothing has been done except CYA and cover-up.

The insidiousness of the cover-up by Mr. Larkin and the IARDC comes clear when we realize that guardianship is by its nature a deprivation of liberty and property rights and human rights of a citizen.    Everyday I and others receive anguished letters from family of the victims of elder cleansing who are aggrieved that villains are ravaging their loved ones and robbing them of all dignity.     The frustration extends to courts that are manned by judicial officials who are no more than rubber-stamps for the miscreants, law enforcement that claims to have its hands tied, and political operatives who have their hand in the till.    
 
Illinois’ corruption cost per capita $3008.    The guardianship frauds aid to the total!     By statute the person making application for a guardianship to be imposed on a fellow citizen has the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence the incompetency.      This is not an easy burden and it is not intended to be; however, as the Sykes file 09 P4585 reveals all it took was the agreement of several miscreants and Mary Sykes’ life was snatched from her!      In her evidence deposition Judge Connors revealed her attitude and her disdain for not only the statutory mandates but the case law, to wit:

Test of incompetency

Test applied in determining judicially whether a conservator should be appointed is whether the person is capable of managing his own affairs.   Matter of Conservatorship of Browne, App.1976, 35 Ill.App.3d 962, 343 N.E.2d 61 ;   Macdonald v. La Salle Nat. Bank, 1957, 11 Ill.2d 122, 142 N.E.2d 58 , appeal dismissed 78 S.Ct. 330, 355 U.S. 271, 2 L.Ed.2d 257 .
Evidence was insufficient to establish that mother was a disabled person, in action to adjudicate mother incompetent and appoint a guardian; two physicians, both who had recently examined mother, found that she exhibited no cognitive disabilities or mental conditions, and that she was well-adjusted and capable of managing her own personal and financial decisions.   Williams v. Estate of Cole, App. 1 Dist.2009, 333 Ill.Dec. 27, 393 Ill.App.3d 771, 914 N.E.2d 234 . Mental Health Key Number 135
Test which is applied in judicially determining whether conservator should be appointed for incompetent person is whether individual is capable of managing his person or estate.   Matter of McPeak’s Estate, App. 5 Dist.1977, 11 Ill.Dec. 349, 53 Ill.App.3d 133, 368 N.E.2d 957 . Mental Health Key Number 105
To simply establish certain disabilities is alone insufficient to support determination of incompetency, for purposes of appointing conservator;  evidence must also show alleged incompetent’s incapability of managing her person or estate.   Matter of McPeak’s Estate, App. 5 Dist.1977, 11 Ill.Dec. 349, 53 Ill.App.3d 133, 368 N.E.2d 957 . Mental Health Key Number 105
Capability to manage one’s person, for purposes of appointment of conservator, does not resolve itself upon question of whether individual can accomplish tasks without assistance, but rather whether that individual has capability to take care and intelligently direct that all his needs are met through whatever device is reasonably available under circumstances.   Matter of McPeak’s Estate, App. 5 Dist.1977, 11 Ill.Dec. 349, 53 Ill.App.3d 133, 368 N.E.2d 957 . Mental Health Key Number 105
In proceeding for appointment of conservator for alleged incompetent, an 81-year-old woman who had voluntarily entered nursing home after giving her son power of attorney over her estate, record was barren of any evidence showing alleged incompetent’s incapability of managing her person or estate, and, in fact, supported contrary conclusion.   Matter of McPeak’s Estate, App. 5 Dist.1977, 11 Ill.Dec. 349, 53 Ill.App.3d 133, 368 N.E.2d 957 . Mental Health Key Number 135
Neither conclusion of an attorney that elderly individual was incapable of handling her business affairs nor unsubstantiated statements of two doctors to effect that it was in best interest of individual to have a conservator appointed was sufficient to establish that individual was so incompetent as to require the appointment of a conservator for her estate.   Matter of Conservatorship of Browne, App. 3 Dist.1976, 35 Ill.App.3d 962, 343 N.E.2d 61 . Mental Health Key Number 135
The belief of a person upon religious or political questions cannot be made a test of his sanity.   Belz v. Piepenbrink, 1925, 149 N.E. 483, 318 Ill. 528 . Wills Key Number 40
On an application for the appointment of conservator the true question is whether the person has sufficient mental capacity to transact ordinary business,–take care of and manage his or her property.   Snyder v. Snyder, 1892, 31 N.E. 303, 142 Ill. 60 .
The test of insanity depends upon the object to purpose for which the insanity is to be proved and what might be regarded insanity in one case would not necessarily be insanity in another.  No definite rule can be laid down which will apply to all cases alike.   Snyder v. Snyder, 1892, 31 N.E. 303, 142 Ill. 60 .
On an application for appointment of conservator the true question was whether the person had sufficient mental capacity to transact ordinary business,–take care of and manage his or her own property in view of § 37, R.S.1874, p. 685, making that the test of whether conservator should be continued.   Leefers v. People, 1907, 123 Ill.App. 634 .
 
The Legislature has defined the purpose of guardianship so as to be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, to wit:
 
Guardianship shall be utilized only as is necessary to promote the well-being of the disabled person, to protect him from neglect, exploitation, or abuse, and to encourage development of his maximum self-reliance and independence. Guardianship shall be ordered only to the extent necessitated by the individual’s actual mental, physical and adaptive limitations    755 ILCS 5/11a-3
 
As everyone is aware – most of the guardianships that are under our discussion are ultra-vires usurpations of the Civil and Human Rights of the disabled person.   No-one can appropriately justify removing the alleged incompetents who are the subject of these discussions from contact with family members, friends, and prior activities. 
By the definition of most civilized and intelligent people the mining of the teeth of a elderly persons for the gold in her teeth is not the promotion of her well being!   Whether a judge authorized the action or not – such is exploitation!   Yet, as part of the cover-up Jerome Larkin and the IARDC wrote the Coopers to inform them that there was no ethical violation – indeed, the ethical violation was reporting the same!   
Let me suggest to you that when a corrupt judge enters an order finding that a particular individual is incompetent under the provisions of the Illinois Act that judge subjects himself/herself and the appointees to the Americans with Disabilities Act criterion.    Thus, the Court is limited to entering orders that are limited “to the extent necessitated by the individual’s actual mental, physical and adaptive limitations”   Ergo, the Judge who allows that guardian to place the ward in a nursing home against the wishes of the family, 300 – 500 dollars awards of Attorney fees and guardianship fees are all ultra vires and criminal conduct.    
The State and Federal law both mandate that the guardianship is an accommodation tool and nothing more!!!!!    Thus, involuntary segregation of the ward from family and friends is not only improper but more criminal conduct!  
PURSUANT TO 18 USCA 4  LET THIS E-MAIL BE A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT THAT IN THE MARY SYKES CASE AND MANY MORE GUARDIANSHIP CASES HEREIN COOK COUNTY ILLINOIS JUDICIAL OFFICIALS ARE IGNORING THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS OF ILLINOIS LAWS, AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT, AND CIVIL RIGHTS AS THEY ALLOW FAVORED LAWYERS AND OTHER PERSONS TO DEPRIVE SENIOR CITIZENS AND OTHERS OF THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.     LET THIS ALSO BE A FORMAL COMPLAINT THAT MR. JEROME LARKIN AND A NUMBER OF HIS SENIOR ATTORNEYS ARE AIDING AND ABETTING THE VIOLATION OF ADA AND HUMAN RIGHTS including but not limited to committing various other and different felonies such as theft, exploitation, fraud, perjury, mail fraud, wire fraud etc.    [the MARY SYKES CASE  09 p 4585 Pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois is a prime example.]

I would like to feature your book on my blog.  I have read the first part of it and I have to let you know that you have really nailed this problem.  I bought it on Kindle

I am a lawyer in Chicago that works with probate court abuse victims.  I have many of the people you describe as actual clients and blogging clients.  Your descriptions are accurate and truthful and the miscreants involved have no idea how the wards, their families and friends are terrorized in court where they are repeatedly told to shut up, their please are ignored and loved ones are locked up, locked down and drugged until they perish–which is always after the probate attorneys involved drain the estate with their tied in friends too–(anti) social workers, case (mis) managers, visiting nurse (terrorizers).  No one ever knows or understands the problem unless they are directly involved.  It is sheer agony.  And the goal of these attorneys is to drain the estate, lie about funds being with other relatives and then drain those relatives too leaving everyone homeless and penniless in the end.  I have worked on my probate corruption blog since Nov. of 2011, and never did I imagine I would receive literally scores of stories of terrorization in court, the ruination of many people and the relentless flinging of corrupted papers and documents against wholly innocent family members.

I deal with these walking wounded all the time.  So I greatly appreciate your book.

I saw your video too.  If you would like, I invite you to write articles for my blog about your stories and I will in turn feature your book.

You did an excellent job that will help many.

thanks so very much

Thank you.  Of course I will in turn support your blog as we have to get the word out and end our legal procedures being used as weapons, tools of theft, and a public health menace.  I am attaching some materials here for you to review.  Feel free to use from what I send in your blog mentioning my name is appreciated as it keeps the information flowing.  Domestic Violence is thought to be young men on women when it is any family or intimate person who attempts to use coercive control and remove the civil rights from the target.  I have articles that I am happy to send you as well.  Just let me know.  I am training ADA Advocates by webinar starting Sept. 30 I included that too.  The answer here is to inundate these courts with Disability Advocates.

Dear Dr. Huffer

thanks so much for your prompt reply.  I will publish on my blog what you have sent me to try to help these victims.

The blog is located at http://www.marygsykes.com and http://www.justice4every1.com and I start this blog when a certain Mary G Sykes was railroaded into a guardianship without notice to her or her elderly sisters, so the case has been running without jurisdiction for 5 years now!  I could not believe that Mary was not served, nor her sisters and the lawyers involved are soooo greedy, they don’t care either.  Mary Sykes, being 94 now is a victim, living with a dark, greedy estranged daughter she never wanted to live with.  Her younger daughter, Gloria has been fighting the system for 5 years now, and she had some unfair litigation before that (insurance claim where the insurance company made a bad repair, then mold grew throughout the home making the repair exceedingly expensive), so they stopped work and sued HER.  eventually that lawsuit was settled, but Gloria walked away with $500k, so what did the miscreants do?  Guardianize mom and then go after Gloria’s money, mom’s money,–you name it, it was a mess, but they all have gotten away with it.  The claim for all the miscreants?  Mom “needs the money for her care”.  The truth?  All of the money went to the attorneys!  That’s right, some $350k after 5 years of litigation did not go to “mom’s care” but to 3 tied in and tied up attorneys.

Complaints were filed with the Illinois ARDC. Ken Ditkowsky, Mary’s former attorney, as well as I, have be vociferous in our complaints and publishing the truth about this case and others–that the Cook County Probate Court is a disaster and magnate for the greedy and unethical and they terrorize wards, friends and families alike.

So Ken Ditkowsky has been suspended for 4 years from the practice of law for speaking the truth –at age 78.  He writes prolifically for my blog.  I publish the stories, comments and helpful legal tips and tricks and briefs and pleadings for probate victims and give them credibility to their claims.  So the ARDC charged me with misconduct and I am patiently waiting for their “discipline” for my telling the truth publicly on my blog about the Sykes case and others.

At my trial, the relatives of Mary showed up and testified–and were told “sour grapes” by my tribunal.  So they were abused at the probate court level for years, then they show up to help ME out, and they are abused by the Illinois ARDC.

There are no limits to the greed, corruption and evil that surrounds the Illinois Probate Court system located in the Chicago Daley Center on the 18th floor.

They terrorize families left and right, up and down.  The names of the miscreants are well known and well publicized on numerous probate blogs–mine, http://www.probatesharks.com and http://www.NASGA.com. 

And still we fight.  Thanks again.  Please read my blog and send me articles to post.

thanks for all that you do for these largely unrecognized and not understood victims and their families.

Excellent book on Legal Abuse Syndrome or Post Traumatic Litigation Disorder

Dear Readers;

After talking to dozens and dozens of probate court room victims and their families, I think we pretty well know that people generally do NOT escape the probate court room debacle psychologically unscathed.  In fact, I am absolutely certain that most of you have learned that there are simply hugely damaged victims of court room abuses.

I received an email from someone today that had a byline of the following book:

Legal Abuse Syndrome by Ms. Karin Huffer, Mft and I bought it and was surprised at right off the bat, how she nailed the repeated saying of Legal Abuse Syndrome clients:

1) I am a a good person, clean living person, but this (LAS) is “cruel and unusual” punishment

2) the actions of (court room attorneys) are cruel and unusual, they are not normal, they are persons without souls, they have no conscious, etc.

3) what kind of a lawless country is this, where the courts allow liars and thieves to ruin people’s lives?

4) everyone says Chicago is so corrupt and no one does anything about it.  The judges let the attorneys run corrupt courts (or vice versa–the attorneys help the judges run corrupt courts).

5) the victims feel numb, depressed, disconnected and vulnerable, they many rant and rage, they may have uncontrollable rages, they often feel a need to scream and shout at everyone, or send dozens of emails before and after court appearances, esp.  sometimes, they may win on a point (visitation, or get a citation to discover dismissed, or some counts against them dismissed) and they are sooo rattled in court, they don’t even know that the judge actually handed them a win.

6)  they can’t find an attorney because either they can’t afford one, and/or when they try to talk to an attorney, they come off as emotional, disconnected, illogical and confused over facts and situations.  They know they have been gravely and severely harmed, but associate social concepts with their harm (lying as a claim, when defamation or slander is the claim, fraud on the court when they mean perjury, etc)

7) being disillusioned and depressed as an American citizen is common.

So Ms. Huffer, kudos, you’re nailing it in this book and I highly recommend the book to all of my probate victims.  Even if you don’t think you are a victim, if you feel scared, terrified, confused–any of these, before and after court appearances, this book may help you and at $7.99 on Kindle (read it on your computer in seconds, you don’t need a Kindle reader, just a PC or laptop), it should be a great help for many of you out there.

From Ken Ditkowsky — the letter from Ms. Guzman is fairly amazing. I have to agree!

Subject: Re: Fw: ardc response Alice R. Gore 8-18-14 -COMPLAINT TO ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Date: Aug 21, 2014 7:58 PM
 
 The letter is indictment of Mr. Larkin and Ms. Guzman!    When this letter is matched to the July letter of Ms. Guzman falsely claiming that Adam Stern was appointed the GAL for Gloria Sykes it is very clear that Federal Felonies are being promulgated in the office of the IARDC as well as  being covered up.   (It took Guzman 17 days to discover that no one was buying her intentionally false statement concerning Ms. Sykes and thus her prevarication designed to provide cover for not investigating Adam Stern was exposed) 
 
Thus pursuant to 18 USCA 4 I have reported to Federal and State law enforcement the criminal conduct of Larkin and certain attorneys who are paid by the State of Illinois as to:
 
1) aiding abetting numerous felonies committed by judges and court appointed guardians in which senior citizens are robbed of their liberty, property and human rights (see Sykes 09 P 4585)
2) assaults on the Bill of Rights and core values of the United States of America
3) violations of Human Rights.    As Tim has indicated violations of Americans with Disability act and as demonstrated by Ms. Guzman’s letter to the Coopers – violations of human rights and the law of civilization.    Imagine a public body and an attorney paid a substantial salary by citizens of Illinois attempting to condone lawyers and judges ganging up on a 90 year of widow to mine her mouth for the gold filings!    ********
 
Remember in the early days of Television there was program called Ripley’s Believe it Not.    Every day absurdities were exposed.    I can top any that were ever published!   I read the Jerome Larkin teaches CLE (Continuing Legal Education) classes on ethics!!!!!
 
Half of the people in the United States are below average in intelligence!!!

My response: I think Janet Phelan is right on in invoking international treaties against torture.   Forced druggings, false imprisonments in nursing homes, intentional and strenuous isolation from a multitude of family members and close friends are rampant.  It is psychological and physical torture that did not come with a declaration of war or the “undeclaration” of war.  It is clear and insidious torture on the elderly and disableds nonetheless==and their families.

Subject: Fw: Frankel v State of Indiana
Date: Aug 21, 2014 8:23 PM
What should be attached is a document filed in that case which addresses your problem to a tea!     According to Indiana lawyers the Chief Judge of the Indiana Supreme Court was forced to retire  because of this Frankel case.    It appeared that the Department of Justice clamped down on him after he refused to accommodate.
 
This ‘elder cleansing’ scandal is massive and bit by bit the USA is getting more pro-active.   The bad guys are the nursing home/hospice operators who are spreading bribes around like money was water.    (The days of the white envelope filled with cash are over).    I’ve been watching Illinois and waiting for the IRS’ political corruption unit to show up on Mr. Jerome Larkin’s door and *******.    (saw them operate during the Dan Walker (Illinois) administration – and also in connection with *****).     These guys are so intimidating you want to confess to whatever they want you *****.     In the early 1980’s I was having lunch with one of the my opponents in the Cigarette Use Tax case and watch his hands shake when one of the IRS agents came by our table to say hello to me.    Phil ***** could not eat another drop of food.     For months afterwards I implored my IRS friend to market his appeal to some of my friends who were having a weight problem.
 
As the United States of America is developing a choir in South Florida and apparently intends to present a concert in the near future – it really would be in the best interests of the political populations to ‘get religion!’     They should read Federal Statutes for penitence and in particular, the Americans with Disabilities Act.    Doing the right thing and complying strictly with the Federal Statutes is strongly advised.      The consequences of avarice can be fatal to *******.    
 
I am recommending that the Justice Department get verified full and complete statements of your complaints   =  Mr. Coleman promised that he would “look into” this guardianship infamy – I would recommend that he be called on his promise and he also receive all the information that is relevant or MAY LEAD TO RELEVANT INFORMATION.      If the FBI gets the information that it desires there are a large number of lawyers and judges who are going to populate our jails very soon.    In my opinion, any lawyer who is involved in this ‘elder cleansing’ scenario who does not sojourn to the nearest Federal building an offer the join the choir is not very bright!

Subject: Frankel v State of Indiana

Attached is a document found in the case of Frankel v Indiana       This is a case arising under the Americans with Disability Act and the facts are very simple.     The attachment was sent to me.
 
What this attachment demonstrates is that the position of the Attorney General of the United States is very clear.   A disabled person does not lose any rights by action of government, the only rights lost are those which nature takes from him/her.    Congress has decreed that government shall do its level best to accommodate the disabled person so that the person’s handicap is limited as much as possible.
 
JoAnne – what makes this position paper so important is that while Mr. Jerome Larkin and Ms. Guzman do not believe in the Rule of Law as set forth by the Constitution, the Supreme Court decisions, et al,    Larkin is alone with his cronies in very serious violations of the law.    Mr. Holder in Frankel points out just how far he expects government to go to protect the disabled person.   This is far cry from what happened and was approved by Larkin in reference to Sykes, Gore etc.    In point of fact it appears that Larkin is not only aiding and abetting the criminal felonies that have been committed, but he is doing so in the fact of yet another Federal Statute.
 
Few public officials, except for a house painter in the 1930’s, went as far as Mr. Larkin.    Ms. Guzman in her recent letter to the Coopers apparently, with the consent of Larkin, compounds the felony.     Read the Statement of Interest of the United States of America that is attached.    
 
As a matter of courtesy and pursuant to Himmel, I have sent a copy of the position paper to the IARDC so that if there is anyone present who takes the oath of an attorney seriously, an Honest, complete, intelligent and comprehensive investigation of Mr. Larkin and Ms. Guzman will take place expeditiously and honestly.     Larkin is reported not have filed an Ethics statement (for many years) and investigators have informed me of irregularities hinted at *****.     The IARDC should not have as its administrator a person who is demonstrating no respect for the law and who is consistently misusing his position.

Another Dose of Justifiable Out Rage from Ken Ditkowsky after an ARDC Response to the case of Alice Gore

 
Another letter from Ms. Guzman at the ARDC in response to a complaint against Ms. Solo (aka Soloveichik)
 
 
Of course, this is the letter in which the Coopers detail the fact that $1.5 million was missing from Mother Alice Gore’s estate and further, 29 gold teeth were pulled from a 99 year old woman.  Does all of that faze the ARDC?  Of course not!
 
Favorite quote:
 
After carefully reviewing the information and documentation you submitted, we have
determined that many of your complaints are essentially disagreements regarding the legal
actions taken, advice given and decisions made by Ms. Vidal. The attorney for an Estate
maintains certain discretion in conducting the business of an estate, which would not generally
provide a basis for the discipline of the attorney.

Ken,  another point of interest is the claim by Ms. Guzman and Ms. Hays that Ms. Hays is a “guardian” as mentioned in the court transcript.  Ms. Hays is an employee of the “American Bank” that handled the financial aspects of Alice’s estate.  She was never appointed by the court as a guardian.  While Alice was alive Kimberly Cooper (a disabled person) was her guardian and Kimberly’s guardian at that time may have been the Katten law firm. kc

Mr. and Mrs. Cooper,
 
Thank you for forwarding to me the latest response of Ms. Guzman and the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission.
 
I had occasion this past week to have discussions with Tim concerning the Americans With Disabilities Act.    I had previously read the act, but, I had not previously read the regulations promulgated by the Department of Justice.    Briefly the Act is Congress’ statement as to protecting the all disabled people including senior citizens such as Alice Gore.       The action seeks to prevent exactly what happened to Alice Gore, Mary Sykes, ********.       
 
Pursuant to 18 USCA 4 I am forwarding Ms. Guzman’s letter to the Justice Department.    The letter is another in a series of Cover-up and aiding and abetting communications designed not to do the job that was delegated to the ARDC – i.e. protecting the public and in particular disabled people.    As an example – Ask Mr. Larkin and Ms. Guzman how it accommodates a senior citizen to have her separated from her family, have her assets removed from her, and have her teeth mined for the gold content of her filings!
 
When Ms. Guzman suggests that the complaints made are disingenuous she and Mr. Larkin (who is her supervisor) are not only being disingenuous, but are aiding and abetting the felonies that you have reported!     I do not know where Mr. Larkin and Ms Guzman are coming from in making the statements that they made.   Both are fully aware that 755 ILCS 5/11a – 1 et seq.  is not a ‘ carte blanc‘ delegation of Mrs. Gore’s civil and human rights to whomever a corrupt judge wishes to reward.     Like ADA the guardianship act is designed to provided whatever limited assistance that Alice Gore reasonably needed and wanted.    
 
The stand to be determined was no “the best interests of the ward” as determine artificially by a avarice inspired political hack who was appointed by a Judge.    The standard is what the alleged then and there and there disabled person reasonably wanted as best could be determined.   (If the alleged disabled person is not disabled as to the particular subject matter the guardian has no jurisdiction or discretion – without a special court hearing complete with notice and hearing and a finding by the court based upon the notice hearing.  Asking Adam Stern or Miriam Solo what the disabled person desired is not compliance with the law – it is another lawless action that violates basic civil rights).
 
Getting back to the violations of federal law that Ms. Guzman and Mr. Larkin are engaged.   (see 18 USCA 371).    It is apparent that both Ms. Guzman and Larkin knew that Congress has decreed that citizens with disabilities are no second class citizens.    Both are aware that government and others must make reasonable accommodation for the disabled senior citizen and a instrumentality whose actual purpose as demonstrated in a bunch of reports to congress by governmental agencies is pernicious and abusive is not compliance – IT IS A CRIMINAL ACT.
 
THUS, I am forwarding the letter you received to the ADA administration and the Justice Department and I am advising you that you should do the same.   In your complaint you should report chapter and verse and forward copies of all the CYA and other disingenious communications that you reveived from Mr. Larkin, Ms. Guzman et al.       What we have in the attached letter is a serious violation of the law that Mr. Larkin and Ms. Guzman knows is such a violation.     
 
As I am lead to believe that both Ms. Guzman and Mr. Larkin are lawyers, pursuant to Himmel I have copied the IARDC.     It is their obligation to investigation both Ms Guzman and Mr. larkin and determine why they have violated the clear mandate of the ADA and its regulations and continue to aid and abet the violation of the liberty and the property rights of senior citizens.     (I expect that the IARDC will continue the cover-up – but at least the required Himmel Report will be made).    
 
For the record – my response is intended to be public and may be reproduced at your discretion and desire.

More reports of Nefariousness from the IL case

More reports of Nefariousness from the IL case

One of the things I have warned repeatedly about on this blog are probate attorneys that do nothing while the miscreants are committing torts left and right, and those that promise “you will be back in your house in 6 months if you (fill in the blank– pay us money, don’t object to our felonies, abuse, ridiculous gag orders and illegal restraints on visitations or visits with tied in agencies on secret lists that are never bidded out or have performance bench markers and parameters.  Go figure.)

So today, dedicated son calls me and says “I’ve had it with court”, they have lied to me, it’s taken me 2 years to get supervised visitation they want all of $800k which has been in both my name and my parent’s names for a decade, my evil sib is telling the court I owned nothing at the home, there are pipes burst in the home with slow repairs (as published on the blog as a typical scheme/scam) and now they want to move the contents out of the home into storage and they have valued it at about 10% of it’s value and don’t want an independent appraisal.

The real question is, why does he put up with a lawyer that stands by and “just goes along.”

Probably money  Probably some promised deal that will never materialize, not in 1000 years or down below gets colder than a polar bear’s bum on the arctic circle. And this lawyer is not the only lawyer I have heard sold out this month.  Another Ms. LR is on the docket for that scam. (They promise opposing counsel if they “go along” they will get more business or the coveted fee petition paid 100%.  I propose asking your attorney if their fees are cut by about 80 to 100% like mine–see the Janie Thomas case where they cut my fees 100% and the OPG was proud of this nefariousness, then your lawyer isn’t doing his or her job)  In Olson, for keeping a man in his own home for 1.5 years, I got a fee cut of 80%.  Go ahead, ask your lawyer if they are part of the problem or part of the solution.  Not being paid in probate is the golden ticket of honesty.

So, I will say this again, why put up with an attorney like that who will not remind the court of the law, each and every time an issue is brought up.

In this case, mom repeatedly says she wants to go home.  At least 3 attorneys are ignoring her pleas.  The law is, if a senior wants to go home, they get to go home.

I asked Mr. IL if his attorney put that in writing and filed it with the court.  Answer: no.

The GAL’s have also told Mr. IL they want 100% of his joint account.  I want to know why, after 2 years of litigation that account has not been partitioned with him getting half?  Son responded “I don’t care about the money.”  But the reality is, yes, you do because without your mother sitting on a pile of cash, the miscreants won’t go away.  They will drain, and drain and drain.  Got it?  The money also puts you in control.  Sorry about your altruistic attitude, but if you want to get them to follow the law and do what they’re supposed to do, lack of money on the 18th floor is a fine motivator.

The son has given me permission to publish and name names.  But the reality is, I’m not sure he’s ready for the backlash.  Further, names aren’t all that important on this blog.  I hear story after story of the same issues, facts and outcomes.

There is no Santa Claus on the 18th floor and if an attorney promises you your loved one back in 6 months for a payment of cash in fees (made up), it won’t happen.  2 years later this son is sitting with his mother in a locked down facility begging to go home.

Again, if you want to avoid the 18th floor, put your money off shore.  Sell the home and lease it back.  Get certificates of competency on a regular basis prepared to send to the court until they give up.  Buy an RV and leave the state.  The rats nests are on a county by county basis, far as I can tell and as John Wyman will tell you, there is no cooperation between these thieves.

Most of all, keep on praying for our cause to clean up the courts.  With your prayers each night pray for the court corruption victims and pray for truth and justice.  Just add it to your prayers and meditation.

Thanks for listening. Despite what the ARDC claims, this blog is the truth and the whole truth and I will take a polygraph to prove it any day.  Ask Jerome Larkin to do the same.  He’ll never show. Ask Ken Ditkowsky to do the same.  He’ll come with bells on and pass it with flying colors.

A link to a show for Joanne Denison on Cooper’s Corner and Elder Cleansing

Please watch and see how the probate court fostered the terrorizing of 99 year old Alice Gore pulling 27 gold teeth and how Bev Cooper and her loved ones were devastate by all of this.

If you have not seen Mr. Lanre Amu’s program, you should do so now, he details the agony of being suspended for merely telling the truth, breaking the code of silence, and protecting his own clients, who were ordinary people, like you and I, who had no clout, but the other lawyers and their clients apparently did:

 

A LINK to Ken’s recent appearance on Cooper’s Corner where he discusses his plea to the US Supreme Court to SAVE HIS LAW LICENSE

I’ve respectfully requested a meeting for the families of the victims of elder cleansing.     I have not received a response.     This is an acute problem that is akin to the 9/11 attack on America.   The distinction is the fact that the perpetrators are people in responsible positions whose amoral agenda is a cancer attacking our core values.
 
From JoAnne:
 
Ken has written Atty Eric Holder for a hearing on “elder cleansing” or probate court abuses of the elderly and their families.
 
We have not received a response yet.
 
Please pray for this and also email Mr. Holder at “askdoj@doj.gov”
 
thanks

From Ken Ditkowsky–how bad is it when you search on the “C” word?*

Just a little internet searching, and what do we find!  Dozens of amazing and relevant articles.

I don’t know about you, but I had not heard of several of these stories!  Kudos to the news outlets for bringing this waste to the attention of hard working taxpayers.

JoAnne

* for most of you out there, the “C” word that puts dread, death and destruction automatically in our minds is, of course, “cancer”.  But for the ARDC is it clearly “Corruption”–a task they refuse to take on or conduct honest and comprehensive investigations of, despite the fact that is their only job they promised to the public. So we can’t mention “corruption” on this website, we can’t talk about it–the ARDC says if a lawyer talks about corruption on her website, that is akin to yelling fire in a crowded theater (Atty Melissa Smart, litigator for the ARDC).

so what do we do?  I will just tag everything “not corruption” just like the ARDC wants.

Ken was asked if he was sorry, at his trial, for quoting in his private emails to probate court victims, a GAO report from the US government–that reported that guardianships were not properly supervised, they were a hotbed of problems and that rarely, if ever, is anything done to stop the court sponsored corruption, terrorizing of the ward and his family, thefts by tied in individuals and proper oversight.

Reporting on the truth is grounds for disbarment or severe sanctions from the ARDC.  According to them, it is better for a lawyer to steal $100,000 (Karavidis–no discipline, a private matter) and breach a fiduciary responsibility, than to tell the truth about guardianship (Ditkowsky at age 78 a 4 year suspension).  To date, the ARDC will NOT post a link to the letter that they claim was misleading AND they refuse to provide proof of service and jurisdiction in the case of Mary G Sykes, 09 P 4585.

I will NOT be one of the attorneys practicing a “code of silence” fostered and promoted by the ARDC to protect its own (eg, see Seth Gillman, indicted for $90 million in health care fraud, but shown on the ARDC website as follows:

Simple Request to the Attorney General of the US–Eric Holder on behalf of all courtroom victims

August 13, 2014
Attorney General of the United States
Washington, D.C
 
Re:   Elder Cleansing Scandal
Dear Attorney General Holder
Early this month I wrote you to request a meeting on this issue.  I would like to renew my request for a meeting here in Chicago so that the Midwestern victims and their families can have an opportunity to discuss the blatant Human Rights violations that are being promulgated by corrupt judicial officials (including lawyers) and which violations are being protected by the vary entities and people who are assigned to protect the public.
Pursuant to 18 USCA 4 on behalf of the victims of Elder Cleansing and their families I have been forwarding to you e-mails that I received that are chilling.   The victims who have written me are from all over the United States, but they essentially write the very same thing, to wit:
1)       A loved one being herded and railroaded into a wrongful and abusive guardianship
2)       The guardians segregating the victim from his/her family so that the estate can be ravaged
3)       When the estate is rendered insolvent the victim is subjected to a process that extracts the last dollar that can be salvaged and then killed.
4)       If the family is articulate and complains they are retaliated against.
Elder Cleansing is part of the outrageous health care frauds that are rendering any and all attempts to provide affordable health care impossible.    This is a current National problem that threatens to get out of hand if not addressed.    I personally believe that this scandal is related to the Hospice/Nursing home frauds.    Those frauds are related to the Omnicare and other supplier frauds that drive up the costs of health care.
The venality of the miscreants in the Elder Cleansing scenario is outrageous.     As everyone get old and can become vulnerable it is apparent that this cancer is not going away and is metastatic.     Unless we protect the Core values of our civilization from those who value the dollar more than the Bill of Rights we may wake up and find that our America is no more!     In the Alice Gore case, the guardian ad litem had the temerity to mine the teeth of victim Alice Gore so as to squeeze the last penny out of her estate!     No one is safe.
Warm regards,

How Sweden has solved the problem of guardianships and conservatorships

They have basically taken the money incentive out of them by paying about $1,000 per year for a retired teacher, police officer, nurse or other professional to function as a “godman” or guide for an elderly or disabled person.  They strictly enforce the law that godmen are only to function to the extent necessary and that they are to provide a least restrictive environment.

With all of the psychotropic drugging, forced nursing home placement, locked down nursing homes forced on wards, hundreds of complaints I have heard, there simply is no doubt our US system needs to be overhauled.  In Sweden, the wards come to court and are questioned about what they want and the family is respected.  In the US, the wards are prevented from coming to court, are routinely drugged, homes sold without consent, nursing home placement is forced,  psychotropic drugs are forced on the wards, and little is done to stop this, with court tied in attorneys raking in huge profits on larger estates, tied in service agencies making outrageous fees, the providers and attorneys are are “secret lists”, the ward can only have an attorney from the “secret list”, allegations of deals in advance and deals made fill the 18th floor of the Daley center.  Something has to change, and radically.

Another statement of the Story of Ken Ditkowsky and fighting for first amendment rights

 

Ken Ditkowsky, Esq.

Ken is a lawyer who was suspended for 4 years because he exercised his First Amendment Rights and reported elder abuse to law enforcement.   He is a University of Chicago and Loyola University graduate and has practiced general law for over fifty years.

As a lawyer he has tried hundreds of cases many before juries in both State and Federal Courts.   He has appeared a number of times before the Illinois Supreme Court and in the case of Terrazas v. Vance before the Supreme Court of the US.

While the Illinois Atty Regn and Disciplinary Commn accused him of lying about probate cases, they “proved” he lied by stating a letter to a ward’s doctor falsely indicated he was her attorney when in fact he was not.  The ARDC refuses to publish or link to the letter which is clear on its face he was only investigating the case based upon numerous complaints from the “ward’s” former friends and neighbors who claim Mary was in danger and being isolated.  Atty Ditkowsky was haled before that judge in probate court for $5,000 in sanctions for merely investigating the Mary Sykes case– a case where neither Mary Sykes nor her elderly sisters were ever served with 14 days advance notice of the time, date and place of hearing–all of which are required to take jurisdiction under Illinois state law and case law (In re Soldini).  Ken’s sanctions were later dismissed by the Illinois Court of Appeals for lack of jurisdiction since Ken had never even stepped in that court for that case.  That did not stop the ARDC from prosecuting Ken for the sanction sans jurisdiction though.  The tied in probate attorneys bringing the motion, on the other hand, were never investigated and never disciplined for bringing a false sanction claim.  Their behavior was excused and routinely dismissed as “understandable.”

 

Ken was blamed for sending out emails about the GAO report criticizing probate cases as a “national disgrace”.  He was ostracized during his trial and persecuted for merely speaking out for the victims, and in particular, one Mary G Sykes whose entire estate and all her assets have been liquidated for attorneys fees–some $350k.  The probate attys in this case were so greedy, they went after the bank accounts of the younger daughter, an award winning investigative reporter, for opposing and speaking out against this greed.  Gloria Sykes would be chained by this judge until she disclosed all her assets so they could be seized by the probate court and used for attorneys fees.  Later, at Ms. Denison’s ARDC hearing, this judge would later deny she chained Gloria.  Gloria’s home was looted and laid to waste.  In Chicago, deals are made in advance on the 18th floor of courthouse, and no one dares to stop the process of liquidation and annilation of both the ward and the estate–or else.

Gloria Sykes’ case is the main feature of a popular probate blog http://www.MaryGSykes.com written and operated by another Illinois Atty (Joanne Denison) and the blog has been officially declared “misconduct” by the ARDC.  In their quest and zeal for outlawing the First Amendment to the US Constitution of 1780, the Illinois ARDC is now outlawing attorney blogs on the subject matter of probate–a subject they find to be repugnant to their quest to perfect a “code of silence” for favored attorneys and judges on the 18th floor of the Chicago Courthouse.  They blame the media for the mess they foment.  They kill the messenger and destroy human and civil rights with the stroke of a pen. They crush all dissident among attorneys they find to blog about “subversive content” on the internet.  Of course, the continued string of felonies against the elderly and their families perpetrated by attorneys and judges in probate court are per se “subversive content” which cannot ever be published to the public to warn them about the goings on in Illinois Probate Courts.

 

From Ken Ditkowsky — the opportunities for those that would have them

Subject: Re: Florida Bar and more

The criminal activity of guardianship is not complex. It is not even subtle.

The criminal enterprise has its origins in the corrupt political organizations. My experience is with Illinois.

Let’s start at square one. How does an attorney become a judge. Originally the process was quiet simple. He went to see “the” Committeeman. (Democratic Party). He had his gym bag with him and he had it filled with cash. If he felt that the discussion was to his liking he left the gym bag and he waited to ascertain if the cash was sufficient to grease the way to a party nomination for the position of judge. It is was he was placed on the ballot and as there is no Republican party in Cook county he was elected. The position of Associate Judge was created so that there would be a period wherein the party elders could examine the qualifications of the candidate.

The Federal government has interfered with the process a bit, so the bag of cash has been replaced with equivalents.

The money making opportunities of the political machine require a cadre of donors who in exchange for favors provide the cash that retains power in the ‘proper people.’

The perfidy of the current group has exceeded all expectations. They have crossed ‘party’ lines and have created Enron type operations that make the crooks at Enron look like amateurs. These entities are made available to the ‘judicial officials’ to choose from in addressing the current criminal enterprise. To make the observation of the crimes less obvious it is rare that Mrs corrupt guardian disclosed that she is married to Mr. corrupt guardian. Of course it is expected that the corrupt guardians will favor their own entities and certain mandatory entities in the administration of the estate. In this pursuit of dollars ‘mercy’ is not a word that is applicable and anyone who interferes in the abolition of the victims rights and estate is crushed. The Judge for his role is a rubber stamp. (Gloria Sykes has been investigating these people and I trust that he documentary and intellectual efforts will be most enlightening).

Thus translating this to the elder cleansing industry certain favored guardians are appointed to pillage the estate of the targeted senior or disabled person. I have not been able to ascertain if there is a bidding process, but, certain favorites appear most often in the more lucrative estates. To maintain their ‘status’ they have a required list of providers that they favor.

Insurance for the Judge, the guardians, and associated other villains is purchased by alliance with certain law enforcement people – they are paid to look the other way, and as it is appearing from the overt actions of Mr. Larkin even lawyer disciplinary organizations such as the Florida Bar and the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary commission.

So integrated is the corruption that even the ‘vote’ is not secure. To illustrate. I had a client who probably the best qualified candidate for alderman who has ever run for office in Chicago. A reform group of citizens in the 50th ward in Chicago were unhappy with the then current Alderman who was old, and alienated. The recruited Mr. B. In addition they engaged a public relations firm from the ‘top shelf!’ They determined the needs of the community, how to reach active members of the community, and address community needs. No stone was left unturned. Mr. B was defeated by about four thousand votes and did not garner 1/4 of the vote.

The public relations firm wanted to be paid – their fee was not contingent on a win – to be blunt= they were legitimate. I was engaged to defend the suit. I called the attorney for the PR firm and told her that I was going to counter-sue for malpractice. She was stunned; however, when I asked her how many nursing homes were in the ward and how they voted we settled the case for a one thin dime. Mr. B had not received a single vote from a resident of a nursing home in the ward! Co-incidence or vote fraud???

A certain Democratic political figure in the next election round decided that Alderman S ought to be retired and magically the very same residents of the nursing homes delivered election victory to the candidate of the Democratic political figure. Co -incidence or vote fraud!!!

This is the monster that we who have taken on the fight against elder cleansing are fighting. We do have an asset. Health care Fraud is so great (estimated at 70=75%) that any health care reform or project is guaranteed to failure. This President’s signature legislation is Obamacare. The elder cleansing structure along with related frauds are going to defeat his legacy no matter what his opposition does or does not due. Therefore, if President Obama wants to have any chance of having a positive legacy of any kind he has to join in the fight against elder cleansing and health care fraud. The cost of this fraud is so great that if he can eliminate 25 percent of the fraud Obamacare could be social security of the 21st Century. If he could eliminate 50% you great great grandchildren will be describing Obama with Deity like admiration.

I could go on – but I think I’ve made my point. The the Omicare prosecutions and the Hospice prosecutions Mr. Holder is hitting the dragon in a vital spot; however, he has to take the legs out and thus, the Lawyer regulators are a prime target. Imagine the incentive that Mr. Coleman will have for reforming the Florida Bar if Mr. Larkin is prosecuted for his aiding and abetting the criminal enterprise of elder cleansing!

It is therefore in our best interests to see that law enforcement has all the facts so that they can move swiftly and efficaciously against the monster. Our goal has to be single minded – eradicate corruption and promote compliance with the Law. we have to recognize that in the nitty gritty our enemy is much more accomplished and experienced. Journalists such as Janet Phelan, Gloria Sykes et al will ferret out the facts and expose the soft underbelly. Our job is to fight back tooth and nail so as to protect our Civil and Human Rights.

Every day, I complain as to the attempt to deny me my First Amendment Rights. Every victim of elder cleansing whether of direct victim or not has to engage in similar tactics if we are to render a proper protest and protect American Core values for our children and grandchildren. Elder cleansing does not just injure your mother = it injures every American.

From Ken Ditkowsky – Guardianship is narrowly exercised

(b) Guardianship shall be utilized only as is necessary to promote the well-being of the disabled person, to protect him from neglect, exploitation, or abuse, and to encourage development of his maximum self-reliance and independence. Guardianship shall be ordered only to the extent necessitated by the individual’s actual mental, physical and adaptive limitations.

755 ILCS 5/11a-3

It therefore appears that too many of the people who assume guardianship positions are criminally over-reaching. I state that the over-reach is criminal as what you are describing is an intentional violation of civil rights. The attempt at isolating the ward from his family is outrageous. wrongful, ultra vires, and an unConstitutional abuse of power and guardianship. 42 USCA 1983. Pursuant to 18 USCA 4 I have forwarded your e-mail to the Justice Department and Senator Mark Kirk and am demanding on your behalf and on behalf of all concerned citizens that there by an HONEST intelligent complete and comprehensive investigation of your averments as soon as practical.

In my opinion there is no excuse for the heartache and anxiety that you have suffered and the retaliation is felonious. Such cannot be tolerated for a single moment. Such mischief should cease and desist instanter.
