About The Film

KIDS FOR CASH is a riveting look behind the notorious scandal that rocked the nation when it first came to light in 2009. Beginning in the wake of the shootings at Columbine, a small town in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania elected a charismatic judge who was hell-bent on keeping kids in line. Under his reign, over 3,000 children were ripped from their families and imprisoned for years for crimes as petty as creating a fake MySpace page. When one parent dared to question this harsh brand of justice, it was revealed that the judge had received millions of dollars in payments from the privately-owned juvenile detention centers where the kids—most of them only in their early teens—were incarcerated.

Exposing the hidden scandal behind the headlines, KIDS FOR CASH unfolds like a real-life thriller. Charting the previously untold stories of the masterminds at the center of the scandal, the film reveals a shocking American secret told from the perspectives of the villains, the victims and the unsung heroes who helped uncover the scandal. In a major dramatic coup, the film features extensive, exclusive access to the judges behind the scheme. Now serving a 28 year sentence in federal prison, the former juvenile court judge at the heart of the scandal shares his ulterior motives, revealing that his attorneys never knew about his interviews for this film.

Kid’s Stories:

CHARLIE

A loveable kid who had very few material things but loved to go camping with his family and help his dad work on cars. He looked forward to his first day of school but an undiagnosed speech impediment brought unwanted teasing from the other kids. Charlie came to dread school and struggled for years. One day his parents surprised him with a used red scooter. Charlie, now 14, took great care of the scooter and rode it every day.

One day, the police came to Charlie’s door. He immediately thought he was getting into trouble for riding it without a helmet, but soon found out that the scooter had been stolen. His parents unknowingly bought the stolen scooter from a family member. The police arrested Charlie and his parents but eventually dropped the charges against his mom and dad, Charlie however was arrested as a juvenile and sent away.

Charlie did not cope well within the Juvenile system and once in, he moved from one correction center to another. In all toll, Charlie spent 5 years in the system and was subjected to 8 placements, yet his love of poetry and family kept him optimistic about his future, which he felt, was bright. He looked forward to college and working with computers. But, confinement within the juvenile system did not prepare Charlie for the real world.

Now, at 21 years old, Charlie’s still that same lovable kid who remains optimistic despite the increasing odds against him in a world that will likely deal him more blows.

HILLARY

A smart, funny and creative high school student who grew up in a stable home with both parents. She created a MySpace page lampoon of her assistant high school principal, including a disclaimer on the page stating it was a joke.

But one day, Hillary’s mother received a call from the police letting her know that her daughter was about to be arrested and charged with terroristic threats. Finding the lampoon anything but funny, the assistant principal felt this was no simple school matter. At 14 years old, Hillary found herself convicted and sentenced to juvenile detention.

If not for her mother Laurene’s outreach to a national advocacy group called Juvenile Law Center, Hillary could have spent months or years in the system. Instead, her mom sparked an investigation by the group, placing Hillary’s case at the forefront of the “cash for kids” scandal. Hillary was freed after only 3 weeks and went on to graduate from both high school and college. She was the lucky one.

Medicare/Medicaid/SOI Health funds scams are sanctioned and supported by inaction of the IARDC

Posted on April 14, 2016 by Joanne M Denison

Abuse and Corruption Rampant in Probate Court of Cook County, IL

and other prior news sources.

“Although the presence of wealth is more likely to bring out the worst in human kind, preying on the elderly can amount to little more than gaining access to an individual’s monthly Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Pensions or Veterans Disability payments.

Often it is a trusted lawyer that encourages their elderly clients to signs over control of their personal and financial transactions, many times without realizing what they are doing. These greedy and opportunistic lawyers then proceeds to charge for every minute of time spent talking and overcharging for every bill paid, while pretending to care for their elderly clients….

According to the allegations made by Beverly Cooper, she was removed from her duly appointed, court-appointed guardianship; a Guardian ad Litem was appointed through deceptive measures by Probate Judge Lynne Kawamoto to replace Cooper; after which Beverly Cooper described how her court-appointed guardian working in collaboration with her lawyer Karen Bowes and her associate Bruce Lange, Judge Lynne Kawamoto, and the nursing home in which her mother was placed (owned by Morris Esformes and cousin to Miriam Solo), proceeded to drain the life savings from her mother’s account.

Beverly Cooper’s removal as her mother’s guardian was allegedly contrived through the manipulation of a court-documented, mentally disabled daughter (diagnosed with border-line personality disorder, psychotic behavior, suicidal idealizations, and adjudicated as a threat to herself and others) by her trusted family lawyer of 27 years, Karen Bowes, in a plot where Cooper’s daughter was briefed to say in sworn testimony in front of Judge Lynne Kawamoto of the Cook County Probate Court, that her mother had appropriated funds from her grandmother estate, Alice Gore, a false accusation…..

There are laws preventing a court-documented, mentally disabled individual from being appointed guardian. Alice Gore was 95 and bed ridden at the time her mentally disabled granddaughter was appointed guardian by Probate Judge Lynne Kawamoto to supercede her mother’s role.

By the time Alice Gore died in February of 2011, an estate worth over a million dollars had been depleted. Annuity checks went missing, and an inventory and accounting of how and for what checks were written for the care of Alice Gore has yet to be addressed by the Cook County Probate Court, despite repeated requests made by Beverly Cooper. (This would be later addressed by falsely accusing Beverly Cooper, tho no ties were found to these checks or her bank account records. Discovery of the checks was routinely quashed and Bev was made a false scapegoat.)

The following are two of the most egregious of Bev Cooper’s videotaped testimonies alleging fraud and corruption in the Cook County Probate Court. Both had appointed Guardian ad Litems with the subsequent depletion of their estates.

Thomas Poll, a veteran, starting with nothing, worked his butt off ding manual labor, formed a successful company — Leedester Poll — and became quite successful. Bottom line: His entire estate was depleted throughout guardianship proceedings in the Cook County Probate Court. Driving home from Hines Veterans Hospital in Chicago, Thomas Pool claimed he was followed by Kevin Carter, an agent from Rehab Assist. Carter talked his way into Pool’s home and proceed to write out a report stating that he would see Thomas Poll in court in three days. The following week Thomas Poll was declare incompetent in front of Judge Kawamoto and a Guardian ad Litem was appointed. Thomas Pool’s daughter stated that all $13 million of her dad’s estate was taken prior and throughout her father’s guardianship proceedings.

In the case of 93-year-old Lydia Tyler, with an estate in excess of $12 million, it was to be bequeathed in equal amounts to her 12 nephews and nieces. One of the nephews, not satisfied with 1/12 of his aunt’s estate, manipulated his Aunt Lydia into signing her entire estate over to him. Taking his Auntie out for a drive from her Chicago condo residence at Lake Point Towers, he drove her directly to a nursing home where a drugged Auntie may have unknowingly changed her will. Auntie died within a week at the nursing home. A Guardian ad Litem assigned by the Cook County Probate Court is alleged to have been used as the tactic for looting Lydia Tyler’s $12 million plus estate. Additionally, all of Aunt Tyler’s valuable jewelry, pictures, and antique furniture disappeared from her Lake Point Towers condo. Further, her body disappeared at the funeral and has not been located since that time, presumably to prevent concerned individuals from tox screen testing it for excessive use of narcotics and psychotropic drugs and chemical restraints.

Is it just coincidence that the Cook County Probate Court protocol, as experienced on the 18th floor of the Daley Building and which involved Beverly Cooper’s mother, Thomas Pool, Aunt Lydia, and others who volunteered testimony of alleged abuse of loved ones on Cooper’s weekly TV show, all came in contact with the same pool of judge — including Lynne Kawamoto; Guardian ad Litems Miriam Solo and David Martin; and nursing home facilities owned by Morris Esformes — which summarily appeared to act in consort through the rotation of judges and appointed court officials to remove a loved one from a caring relationship, resulting in the depletion of their estates.

Documentation exists that Mr. Morris Esformes has been under investigation by Lisa Madigan’s office in the past for allegedly placing homeless people into his public aid nursing homes. These placements were done without proper criminal investigations prior to the placement.

Regarding Probate Judge Lynne Kawamoto, an Associate Judge in Circuit Court, she was found not qualified in 1994 by the Chicago Council of Lawyers. http://www.ProbateSharks.com Other individuals allegedly involved in the “mischief” within the Cook County Probate Court System can be found on “WANTED” lists at www .ProbateSharks.com http://www.estateofdenial.com and http://www.nasga.com

Law360, Chicago (February 12, 2016, 8:54 PM ET) — The former owner of a hospice care center and its director of nursing pled guilty to fraud charges Friday in Illinois federal court, admitting their roles in a $9.5 million Medicare scheme that involved billing for end-of-life care for people who were not terminally ill.

Seth Gillman, 47, an attorney and one of the founders of Passages Hospice LLC, pled guilty to one count of health care fraud as part of a four-year scam that saw the hospice center bill for more than $23 million in general inpatient care — an elevated and more expensive level of treatment — for patients who didn’t need it. In all, the hospice caused more than $9.5 million in government losses, according to prosecutors.

Before accepting Gillman’s plea, U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin asked him to describe in his own words what crime he had committed.

“I was aware that there were claims being submitted to Medicare that were not supported by the patient care,” Gillman told the judge.

Gillman was indicted in May 2014 along with three other Passages employees, including former nursing director Carmen Velez, who pled guilty Friday to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States.

Velez, 39, admitted altering patient records to reflect a need for general inpatient care before the records were handed over to an auditor working on behalf of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Prosecutors attributed $8.5 million in fraudulent Medicare reimbursements to her role.

Gillman faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The government is asking for up to $9.5 million in restitution, though Gillman can argue for less, prosecutors said.

Velez faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, and she will pay $8.5 million in restitution, according to her plea agreement. In exchange for her cooperation, the government has agreed to ask for a sentence of 3 years and 4 months.

Prosecutors said Gillman, who was charged with 16 counts of health care fraud and one count of obstruction of a federal audit, coached his nurses to look for signs they could put a patient on general inpatient care.

He repeatedly ignored warnings from an employee that the company was billing incorrectly, prosecutors said. When it became clear the government was going to audit Passages’ files, he recruited other employees to change the files to reflect a need for the elevated care, prosecutors said.

Another Passages administrator, Gwen Hilsabeck, pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States on Thursday.

Passages, which has been dissolved, is also charged in the case and is expected to plead guilty later this month.

Gillman is represented by Vadim A. Glozman, Edward Genson and Blaire C. Dalton of Edward M. Genson and Associates.

Velez is represented by Joel Bertocchi of Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP.

The case is USA v. Passages Hospice LLC, Seth Gillman et al., case number 1:14-cr-00033, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

–Additional reporting by Dani Kass. Editing by Aaron Pelc

Mr. Gillman , according to Mr. Larkin’s inaction is not a threat to the public – his stealing of a “few” million dollars (and trust fees due his employees) is SOP good lawyer behavior. HOWEVER, EXPOSING THE HYPOCRISY and the conspiracy is so terrible that the Supreme Court of Illinois to protect the public issues interim suspensions and long suspensions of law licenses. On the way to these suspensions our ethics instructors employed by the IARDC misrepresent and distort the Rule of Law set out by the SCOTUS – actually in one document telling the Supreme Court one of the arguments rejected by the SCOTUS was the rule of law. Of the Illinois Supremes – who are presumed to know the law – did not admonish the intentional misrepresentation.

Governor — it is appearing to many that the Justice system in Illinois is a joke! Please read Justice M. Connor’s evidence deposition starting at page 90. This deposition was taken by the IARDC! She admits that she was wired! Her actual words are that had she known of the deficiencies in the Sykes case, she would have stopped the proceedings, had the problems cured – i.e. lack of summons as required by statute, lack of notice as required by statute, and hearing. (see 755 ILCS 5/11a -10 – the Illinois Supremes have held that these technicalities are jurisdictional). After they were cured she would reach the same result! (and apparently used the same attorneys, the same guardians, tho they had tamped with the proceedings, interfered with justice, attempted to take control of Mary Sykes’ property and person illegally–all this is fine according to Ill. Sup. Ct. Justice Maureen Connors).

(I’m sorry you cannot make this stuff up! Of course case 09 P 4585 (Sykes) was barred from subpoena and Larkin’s hoodlums wrote that the family had knowledge of the hearing. A look at the file demonstrates that Justice Connors, who was the presiding judge at the time, never held a hearing) Indeed – these disclosures in Illinois are akin to yelling fire in a crowded theater. The elder cleansing is the current policy of the State of Illinois and fully supported, condoned and protected to the nth degree by Mr. Larkin, head administrator of the IARDC.

Subject: The discriminatory practices of Jerome Larkin present an excellent argument for his being the subject of an HONEST INVESTIGATION

Date: Apr 13, 2016 4:47 PM

With Lawyers paying bribes to become judges, and legal eagles abusing and exploiting the elderly under the protection of the IARDC and Mr. Larkin it is amazing that the 2nd oldest profession is so benign when it comes to corruption and misconduct. When a lawyer steals hundreds of millions of dollars on hospice schemes he is given a pass, to wit:

Full Licensed Name:	Seth Gillman
Full Former name(s):	None
Date of Admission as Lawyer by Illinois Supreme Court:	November 4, 1993
Registered Business Address:	vivere, inc 320 West Ohio Street 3w Chicago, IL 60654-7887
Registered Business Phone:	(857) 702-5720
Illinois Registration Status:	Active and authorized to practice law – Last Registered Year: 2016
Malpractice Insurance: (Current as of date of registration; consult attorney for further information)	In annual registration, attorney reported that he/she does not have malpractice coverage. (Some attorneys, such as judges, government lawyers, and in-house corporate lawyers, may not carry coverage due to the nature of their practice setting.)

Public Record of Discipline
and Pending Proceedings:

None

However, when a lawyer writes the Attorney General of the United States demanding an honest investigation the Illinois Supreme Court = at the request of Jerome Larkin – without a scintilla of evidence of wrong doing – loses his license for four years, and an attorney who echos the call for an Honest Investigation and writes a blog is defamed to have done some act akin to yelling fire in a crowded theater and suspended for four years. The act of revealing corruption on a blog is so horrible in the eyes of the IARDC it requires – to protect the public – an interim suspension!! Yet theft of hundreds of millions of dollars from social security, employee trust funds, medicare, Medicaid, etc. is of no consequence whatsoever. Even a plea of guilty in Federal Court is of no consequence to the IARDC and Mr. Larkin!

The 2nd oldest profession is held in disrepute! The America Bar Association is unconcerned. The Illinois Bar is unconcerned. Concerned, however, are the overpaid employees of the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission and the Illinois Supreme Court — their interest and concern – violate 18 USCA 371 and 18 USCA 4 and with public funds promulgate and carry out a ‘cover-up’ of judicial and lawyer corruption. So successful is the ‘cover up’ that Mr. Gillman after pleading guilty has not disciplinary proceedings filed against him! Indeed – JoAnne Denison who has exposed Larkin in her blog is suspended for three years! The Illinois Supreme Court even in the face of Larkin actually lying to the Court and misrepresenting two SCOTUS cases could care less! Without comment the entire Illinois Supreme court rejected JoAnne’s motion for a supervisory order requiring the SCOTUS orders to be effective in Illinois! (It should be noted that none of the Justices were willing to sign the order.)

Time to act against Larkin and his cronies! Dr. Sugar has suggested writing to Attorney General Lynch — I concur!

From Ken Ditkowsky–the Indiana Judge did not do his job, or the attorneys present

Posted on April 13, 2016 by Joanne M Denison

Subject: Re: Lahrman’s arrest on fictitious illegal summons and warrants

Date: Apr 13, 2016 10:14 AM

I was not thinking of double jeopardy.

My approach was more straight forward than that.

The State of Indiana sought to try him ex-parte. On the record, based upon the laboratory report and the Brady rule the laboratory report is fixed in concrete. They did not find the controlled substance. They found evidence of plant that they knew or should have known and the judge knew or should have known to be used in the making of rope. It is also called ‘hemp’ It is not illegal to possess, own, trade, or otherwise use hemp. It is illegal to have in your possession with certain intents a controlled substance named THC. No THC, no conviction.

The judge being fully aware of the lack of this controlled substance decided to try Tim ex-parte. The propriety is not in question at this time–it just happens to be the fact. As the crime laboratory report is part of the file it is assumed that it was placed in evidence. As this report does not find any controlled substance Tim is exonerated. Yes – Tim could been held in contempt for missing his hearing, BUT HE WAS NOT! In criminal law there is no such thing as a defendant’s default. Whether the defendant puts up a defense or not, HE HAS TO BE PROVEN by evidence beyond a reasonable doubt guilty.

Such is impossible in Tim’s situation and therefore, the Judge was required as a matter of law to dismiss the charges. Criminal dismissals are with prejudice . The presumption of innocence bars any other conclusion.

This brings us to the fact that the State of Indiana ignored the law to discriminately punish Tim for raising the ADA issue. This is a Federal crime and a very serious one at that. Tim like it or not is a disabled person in the eyes of the law. The false findings of his need for a guardianship bind the State of Indiana. He is entitled to a full and complete accounting by his guardian for the entire time that the illegal guardianship continued.

The guardianship is res judicata – and bars even a question by the State of Indiana.

I want to make it very clear that Judges are not placed on the bench to look pretty – they are supposed to enforce the law and the Constitution. Violation of ADA does not carry with it any immunity! It is for this reason I am very surprised that the law enforcement and the justice community are not screaming for Tim’s release. Violation of the Constitutional Rights of a “disabled person” pursuant to ADA is unforgivable in the eyes of the Department of Justice. As I recall Indiana recently had a case that should have made the law enforcement community paranoid. (A non-party wanted a reasonable accommodation because he was hard of hearing – he got told by a local court official to buzz off! Enter justice and all hell broke loose. ) This case is 12,000 times more serious!

RE: Wrongful arrest and incarceration of Mr. Timothy J Lahrman, probate activist

To the above authorities

Mr. Tim Lahrman has recently been arrested and incarcertated on a 17 year old warrant for a broken license plate holder and a small quantity of MJ which was never tested for THC so it is not even know if the substance violated any laws. He is a ward of the State of Indiana and his Guardian never appeared or assisted in his case in any capacity. Recently, he was imprisoned, and the Guardian has not come to any court hearings or provided any assistance to a ward of the state, a disabled man. It is believed the arrest was politically motivated because Tim Lahramn currently has up at the 7th circuit a brief on appeal demanding that the State Court System made reasonable accommodations for the disabled during foreclosure proceedings. This is a hotly contested issue because the banks clearly want rubber stamps to steal houses from the elderly, poor and disabled and mortgage fraud with fake documents, fake accountings and robo signing are common and are well known on the internet.

Tim Lahrman is a well known activist in the probate field. He has helped scores, if not hundreds of pro se litigants write pleadings and understand their rights when they could not afford an attorney, or the attorneys who assisted them were either corrupt and tied into the system, or they were threatened by corrupt courts, judges and their puppet crony appointed attorneys that assist a system that routinely commits strings of crimes against the elderly and disabled and forces them into nursing homes where they are drugged so they do not protest being there, and when the money in the estate runs out for the puppet crony appointed attorneys and their flying monkey court appointed vendors to leech off the elderly like a locus of cockroaches,* they then narcotize the senior to death with excessive drugs and the withholding of food and water, all without a court order.

This is the nadir of the legal and judicial “profession” if you could ever call it that again.

We are immediately demanding the appointment of competent counsel for Tim Lahrman, that his grievances under the ADA and the long expired arrest and imprisonment warrants be investigated and expunged, and that he be immediately released and the Guardian be brought before both the criminal courts and the Probate court for a full investigation of how he never adequately assisted Tim Lahrman in his legal troubles.

Mr. Lahrman is currently imprisoned in derogation of his human and civil rights, his imprisonment is clearly a 18 USC 241, 242 and 1983 violation. It is further a violation of the ADA or Americans with Disabilities Act.

We trust you will take swift action to protect Mr. Lahrman’s rights under the US and Indiana state constitution.

Sincerely

Joanne Denison,
Executive Director
Justice4 Every1, NFP

Status on probate activist Tim Lahrman–talked to him today

Posted on April 12, 2016 by Joanne M Denison

In just a few minutes, which was all we were permitted, Tim was able to call me at about noon and provide a report.

First of all, he has been asking his jailer to provide him with the jail’s ADA program and grievance form to report on his incarceration. The response from the jail was that they have none.

He needs to be provided with a laptop to write because of his disability. That request has been ignored. His access to the law library has been ignored.

He told the judge in court that he should be let go because he has a Habeus Corpus (you have the body, produce it) on file under the ADA with the Superior Court.

Apparently all of that is being ignored.

Prior to his hearing today, he as assigned a public defender who turned out to be a dud. He asked her what he wanted said in court (talk about his HC and his disability), and she refused, so he asked her name and she refused to provide it, said it was “none of his business” and why was he asking. Tim replied he wanted to file a bar complaint against her (like what disgruntled client doesn’t) and she flew into a rage, pushed the red button in the room, and then complained to the guard and court Tim “was combatitive.” For sure, with words. I guess she did not like his words when he asked her to assert ADA complianace and he be removed to an appropriate treatment facility for his condition (whatever that is) or released. I know Tim, he is about the meekest softest spoken person I know. His greatest sword against injustice is his mouth. And his mouth speaks big words and phrases that scare the corrupt system, such as “first Amendment, US and Indiana Constitution, the ADA”–very scary phrases if you are corrupt. As Melissa Smart said during my trial (she is a lawyer with the Ill. Atty. Regn. and Discipline Comm.), this blog is like yelling “fire” a crowded theater, when what she really meant is this blog is like yelling “FBI” in a theatre crowded with corrupt attorneys and judges, but I digress.

He says he has not received mail, and he thinks the jailer is holding it.

Here’s the information on where to call and whom to write to object to the jailing on 17 year old warrants and Tim’s disability and lack of effective assistance of his Guardian:

Subject: Why do I not write a book!

Date: Apr 11, 2016 2:51 PM

Just when you think you have heard everything and saw everything a very credible source tells you something that curls your hair. What you are told cannot be true – yet it is! Such is the lawyer’s lot.

Let me give you an example. The Alice Gore case was reportedly managed by a guardian ad litem who had the Judge in her back pocket. (so to speak) The judge was so out of it or so unconcerned with her duties as to appoint as a guardian an individual who was mentally unbalanced and had her own guardian. The appointed guardian could not actually handle her own affairs. Ergo 1.5 million dollars is unaccounted for along with the gold filings in 29 teeth. Who would believe that here in Illinois a senior citizen’s mouth would be invaded so that a bunch of miscreants could steal and not inventory a few pennies of gold! It happened! Worse yet, Jerome Larkin and his 18 USCA 371 co-conspirators could find nothing wrong with the theft of a few grains of gold from the mouth of grandmother!

This same GAL and her mentor also were disclosed by one of the nursing home moguls of operating a kidnapping ring which prowled lower Wacker Drive in Chicago removing elderly homeless people from the street. The thugs who did the removals prepped the elderly a bit by beating them up and hauling them to awaiting emergency rooms. Kind hearted emergency room doctors and nurses balked at sending these poor souls out into the cold and therefore, in most situations the public guardian’s office was called.

The public guardian’s office was ready, willing, and able to file petitions to be appointed guardians for these poor souls! As guardians the first order of business was to find housing for the victims, and it just fortuitously occurred to the individuals employed by the PG’s office that the mentor just happened to have a nursing home bed available. It was also known that the mentor paid ‘finder’s fees’ for placements. (As Mr. Larkin and his crew of 18 USCA 371 co-conspirators do not appear to file asset disclosure ethics statements in violation of the law we have another precipitant in the receipt of finder’s fees, along with the presiding jurists ****)

The long and short is the human traffic is warehoused by the mentor! The sacrosanct social security check goes to the nursing home along with medicaid, medicare etc until several months after the now warehoused human flotsam has reached his/her final reward. (As Mr. Seth Gillman – how much he makes on this human flotsam in his hospice operation!)

My source for this information reported to me that he has informed the FBI of this scam and I believe him. The mentor is highly regarded for his generous donations to all sorts of worthy causes!

Of course, after years of operating this fraud of social security, medicare, medicaid etc the silence is deafening! Where is the ACLU? Where is law enforcement? Where is the media? Where is ****? As judges, public officials, crooked lawyers, corrupt judicial officials *** are all involved in this human trafficking as you would expect – Jerome Larkin and his gang of 18 USCA 371 co-conspirators are fighting to prevent an HONEST INVESTIGATION!

Now let’s add to this American holocaust scenario the Tim Lahrman fiasco. Who would believe that a citizen of the United States would be literally kidnapped by law enforcement authorities on a record that cries out C O R R U P T I O N! and 18 USCA 241, 242 violations over many many years! This is America – not North Korea! Yet it is unsafe along the I 80 corridor to grow old! The Col Smith, Helen Stone — cases make it very clear that it is unsafe to grow old in Florida *****

It is politically incorrect to mention this dirty little secret – and if you are an attorney and call for an Honest investigation – watch out!

A hurricane of recent events that has proven to be a mixed bag of blessings and challenges has prompted me to write this article.

JoAnne Denison, JD, a stellar legal professional whom I have known for decades, has signed up as an independent sub-contractor paralegal with my company, Paralegal Support Services Inc., a Delaware corporation. Ms. Denison is operating as a sub-contractor paralegal because her attorney license has a three-year suspension for what appears to be enforcement of an ambiguous ARDC Rule in violation of Ms. Denison’s First Amendment Rights to Free Speech.

First Amendment vs. Attorney Conduct Regulation

A hurricane of recent events that has proven to be a mixed bag of blessings and challenges has prompted me to write this article.

Ms. Denison is an amazing woman who received her Juris Doctorate from Indiana University in 1985. She practiced law as a licensed attorney in Chicago for over 25 years. She was my mentor and I learned many great things from her that I attribute to my success to this day.

Of course, it looks rather ironic and almost strange that an attorney I once worked for as her assistant/paralegal, who mentored me, is now without her license and working for my company as a sub-contractor paralegal. Her addition to my team is a mixed feeling of exhilaration and melancholy. On the one hand, having someone with her level of education, experience and talent is an incredible gift to my company, to put it mildly. On the other hand, the circumstances surrounding the suspension of her license and pushing her into a sub-contractor paralegal status brought a cloud to the situation that was troubling to me, so I decided to investigate the circumstances surrounding her license suspension.

The ARDC licensing and regulation of an attorney’s conduct in any given state was put in place to protect consumers. The entire premise of a law degree, a bar exam, and a license registration is to ensure that consumers are protected and receive adequate legal representation.

The ARDC hearing transcripts for Ms. Denison’s license suspension clearly illustrate that Ms. Denison was a vociferous advocate for her clients. Moreover, there is not one single negative mark against Ms. Denison from any of her clients in the 25+ years that she was licensed to practice law. Thus, it begs the question: if Ms. Denison was NOT suspended for attorney conduct with respect to her advocacy representation for her clients, then what was the basis for her license suspension?

According to the transcripts, Ms. Denison had her license suspended for “reckless disregard for the truth” with her assertions in her online blog that certain judges and other attorneys were corrupt. Ms. Denison made these assertions of corruption on her blog and to authorities to prompt investigations into those matters. Despite the fact that Ms. Denison’s license was suspended, she has continued with the corruption allegations and attributes her license suspension to a retaliation against her for being a whistle-blower.

Moreover, Ms. Denison’s efforts to shine a light on the alleged corruption she has asserted has had some favorable results. The corrupt actions of certain judges and attorneys have been uncovered from investigations Ms. Denison catalyzed, all of which seems to suggest that the “reckless disregard for the truth” may not have been so recklessly disregarded after all.

There are many things about Ms. Denison’s license suspension that bother me, and they have nothing to do with the obvious bias I have for her because she was my mentor when I first started working as a paralegal 20 years ago.

What bothers me the most about Ms. Denison’s license suspension is the dangerous precedent it sets for the ARDC in any given state to over-reach its authority and put a muzzle on attorneys in violation of their First Amendment right to free speech against any one of the three branches of government: namely, in this case, the judicial branch.

We have First Amendment rights for free speech to protect every possible type of offensive speech imaginable. Pornography, hate lyrics in music, violent images in movies, misogynistic music videos, presidential candidates stereotyping Hispanics and Muslims, flag burning, and the list goes on. We have yet to restrict speech because somebody was offended.

If the ARDC in any given state increases the reach of its authority beyond that of protecting clients to that of putting a muzzle on attorneys for political reasons, it flies in the face of why the First Amendment of the United States Constitution exists in the first place. The First Amendment protection of free speech exists to ensure that a democratic society with its citizens can speak out against the officials in any branch of government to hold them accountable and to shine a light on corruption. It was designed to make public officials uncomfortable. The First Amendment right to free speech is a vital component fail-safe to the checks and balances we have in our government system. When all else fails, the citizens can speak up and shine a light anywhere in any branch of government that may be doing wrong, prompt investigations, and hold them accountable.

There is nobody who is closer to the judicial system on a daily basis than attorneys. Attorneys are the ones that are in the courtrooms in front of the judges and dealing with the intricacies and daily activities therein. If a precedent is set that the ARDC in any given state can put a muzzle on an attorney for being politically incorrect by making the judicial officials or officers of the court uncomfortable from shaking up the status quo and demanding investigations, then what we are left with is an entire branch of government that can run rampant with corruption without a citizen watchdog: a dangerous path in the wrong direction.

Upon further research on this matter, I discovered that the United States Supreme Court has reviewed and ruled on the issue of ARDC rules against the First Amendment, confirming that an ARDC enforcement of a Rule can be a violation of an attorney’s First Amendment rights to free speech. For example, inBates v. State Bar of AZ, 433 U.S. 350 (1977), the U.S. Supreme Court weighed the First Amendment rights of certain Arizona attorneys who had their license suspended for advertising their services against the weight of the attorneys’ violations of a certain Arizona Bar Rule for doing so, and in that situation, determined “the present application of the disciplinary rule against appellants to be violative of the First Amendment.” (Id. at 384.) Thus, it appears that Ms. Denison may have a case for violation of her First Amendment rights for speaking out against judicial corruption and demanding investigations despite what may be a violation of a State Bar Rule for doing so.

It is my sincere hope that Ms. Denison’s license will be reinstated sooner rather than later. However, until that happens, I have no intention of infringing on Ms. Denison’s First Amendment Right to Free Speech, no matter how uncomfortable it is to anyone, while she is a sub-contractor paralegal with Paralegal Support Services Inc. I consider it an honor and a privilege to have her here. She brings so much added value to the level of services we can provide with her presence. I am confident that Ms. Denison will continue to provide excellent work product for supervising attorneys and their clients, and she will maintain the highest level of integrity, protect attorney-client privileges, follow all the state and federal Bar Association Rules for paralegal conduct, and provide incredible work product with great value for the licensed attorney-clients that are fortunate enough to get her for completion of their projects when they sign up with us.

AAAPG CALLS FOR FEDERAL INTERVENTION IN PROBATE COURTS

Warning the Public about Rampant Probate Court Abuses

Call to Presidential Candidates to Address Probate Racket

Americans Against Abusive Probate Guardianship’s members across the country call for the intervention of the Federal Department of Justice to monitor and bring to justice Judges, Lawyers and Guardians who have exploited laws designed to protect vulnerable elderly citizens and used them instead to exploit and plunder families and estates for their own personal profit. This pattern of Court abuse can be seen not only in Probate but in family, divorce and bankruptcy courts all over America.

Palm Beach, Florida, April 4, 2016–

This announcement is a dire warning to an unsuspecting public about the danger they face from an out of control confiscatory, predatory court process that enriches itself at the expense of its innocent victims. Anyone with any assets is a potential target.

AAAPG members and their families have endured the horrors of this rapidly growing “industry” for decades. Complaints to every level of State Government have been ignored. We now demand Federal Intervention to stem the tide of exploitation that has exploded across the country and particularly in the retirement states.

Florida is home to over 4.5 million retirees and baby boomers who seek a sunny place to spend their golden years. But, even as the flow of seniors in the “Silver Tsunami” increases, retiring to Florida as well

as other retirement States has become a nightmare as the wealth accumulated by honest, law abiding, hard working Americans is being systematically extorted in thousands of fraudulent guardian and probate proceedings every year.

This devious scheme mercilessly deprives retirees of their assets inheritances and constitutional rights with racketeering lawyers, judges, guardians and complicit state agencies.

Family, Divorce and Probate/Guardianship Courts are used to financially exploit, isolate and often physically abuse innocent Americans with assets while family members who object and expose these

crimes publicly are viciously retaliated against and isolated from their loved ones. And there is no reason to expect that anything will change without Federal intervention.

Billions of dollars have been extorted from our loved ones in this inconceivable crime that is hidden in secrecy in the Courts using

sequestered files, “Inside Clubhouse” Lawyers, massive billing fraud, persons taken into Guardianship with no due process and blatant unchecked conflicts of interest and unfit, complicit Judges.

Before another victim falls into the abyss of these court based predators, we urge you to learn more at

Great Article on Requests for admission

Posted on April 8, 2016 by Joanne M Denison

https://www.compellingdiscovery.com/?p=2523

As many of you more experienced pro se litigants know, Requests to Admit (state) or Requests for Admission (Federal) can be a great tool for ferreting out issues and positions of you opponent.

And if these are not answered in the time period permitted, generally 30 days, they are automatically deemed admitted by operation of law. Meaning, all you have to do is file a Summary Judgment Motion and you win.

If you have not prepared these, take a second look at what a great tool they are. Illinois now requires you to warn your opponent in large bold type that they must be answered or deemed admitted, (check out the rule), but in many other jurisdictions you do not have to do this.

Illinois is also more generous with what you can ask in RFA’s and you can get your defendant to admit to liability, to admit X amount is owed, etc. You won’t get attorneys fees unless there is a contract or statute, but you can do a whole lot with Requests for Admission.

From Ken Ditkowsky–The harrowing case of Mr & Mrs. Martinez-Smith

Subject: From the NASGA blog – Another example of why we need HONEST INVESTIGATIONS & Why we need to defend our core values

The Sykes, Gore, Wyman, Smith, **** cases are horrific and terrorist assaults on America’s core values. Like the Lahrman case in Indiana the assault if successful puts a stake into America’s basic Civil and Human liberties that is irrevocable.

The MaryGSykes, Probate Sykes, NASGA blogs (protected by 47 USCA 230) reference literally hundreds of cases of criminal guardianship abuse that cannot be tolerated in a free society. The blogs point out not only judicial corruption but a well organized cover-up 18 USCA 371 and a fraud the jeopardizes the future of every single American.

The Tim Lahrman affair is a direct attack on Equal Protection of the Law and if not re-mediated by the United States of America renders the legacy of the last three National administrations naked words – coupled by the deed of burning our Constitution by tolerating systemic corruption reasonably designed to foster profiteering and exploitation of our elderly and disabled.

In Florida the Col Smith case stands out as a murder of due process by corrupt judges and judicial authorities. The NASGA blog points out:

Post investigates: How professional guardian got marriage annulled

by John Pacenti

Glenda Martinez-Smith found the love of her life as a senior citizen.

Martinez-Smith, 68, said she felt like she hit the lottery when she met retired Army Col. J. Alan Smith of Boynton Beach through a senior dating website. “It was like a fairy tale,” she recalls.

But the retired school teacher said their bliss was destroyed when a judge found her husband incapacitated after a car crash and appointed a professional guardian.

With the blessing of two Palm Beach County circuit court judges, the guardian put Smith, who had suffered a traumatic brain injury, in a nursing home, got Martinez-Smith banned from ever seeing him again and annulled the couple’s marriage.

“That was the most horrible day of my life, the day my marriage was annulled,” she said.

Besides annulling her marriage, one judge kicked her out of court and another threatened her with arrest. Still, Martinez-Smith persevered, winning appeal after appeal and wresting control back from the professional guardian.

Professional guardians are the subject of several bills moving rapidly through the Florida Legislature. Critics and lawmakers themselves say many guardians are siphoning the assets of wards to pay for their exorbitant fees.

$200,000 in legal fees

Business is also very good for the attorneys who flock around these guardians.

Every professional guardian employs at least one attorney to traverse the landscape of social services, nursing homes and liquidating assets. These lawyers come at a steep price, charging hundreds of dollars an hour in addition to the guardians’ fees.

Martinez-Smith has spent a good part of her life savings — $200,000 and counting — in legal fees fighting guardian John Cramer and orders by judges on his behalf. She got three rulings reversed on appeal and the annulment to her marriage is pending.

Smith’s assets paid Cramer $16,500 a month, said Martinez-Smith, who has not seen an accounting of how the money is spent. Cramer liquidated two of Smith’s life insurance policies for $145,000 recently, she said.

“According to anyone’s observation, this is a legal form of grand theft and robbery. It’s exploitation of the elderly,” Martinez said. “These guardians have to be stopped.”

The Florida Bar president, West Palm Beach attorney Greg Coleman, supports the legislation, saying there is a need to address the “bad actors,” whether they be guardians or their attorneys.

“The population is aging and this is something that is going to be more and more of an issue. The more protection the better,” he said.

In the meantime, the retired Army colonel’s health deteriorated without the necessary physical therapy at the nursing home. Today, the 83-year-old is nearly completely paralyzed and cannot speak.

Before the guardian put him in the nursing home, he was walking and talking, Martinez-Smith said. “How could they do this to him?”

Cramer, the guardian, did not return a calls for comment and his attorney Ellen Morris of Boca Raton declined to comment.

Jack Halpern, CEO of Elder Care in New York City, runs a company that offers an alternative to professional guardians by helping seniors navigate health care and the legal system. He says the problems are larger than just reining in the professional guardians, calling the proposed Florida legislation “a Band-Aid on an elephant.”

“The problem involves judges, guardianship attorneys, adult protective services employees, and not-for-profit religious and secular agencies, who are profiting from these guardianship cases,” he said.

Martinez-Smith doesn’t want to talk about the judges in her case. But the appellate court has supported her three times so far by reversing Palm Beach County Circuit Judges Martin Colin and David French, who sit in the Delray Beach courthouse.

Smith had ended up in the clutches of a guardianship when the couple were still engaged. After the car accident in 2010, one of Smith’s children petitioned a judge to find him incapacitated. Colin appointed Cramer as a temporary guardian and Martinez-Smith initially retained control of her husband’s medical care.

But Cramer asked Colin to cut out Martinez-Smith altogether. At a hearing on the matter, Colin kicked Martinez-Smith out of the courtroom “on the basis of a perceived insult to him,” according to a 4th District Court of Appeal opinion.

Colin told Martinez-Smith that her entire demeanor, including “her face, her voice, her sound, may be unpleasant to everyone else” but her husband. The appellate court told Colin to recuse himself, saying “that would lead any reasonably prudent person to fear that she would not receive a fair hearing before the judge.”

But Martinez-Smith found little solace when the case was transferred to French.

Judge threatens arrest

Cramer had complained that Martinez-Smith was abusive to the staff over the lack of her husband’s care at the nursing home. French removed her as a health-surrogate and banned her from seeing her husband. In the courtroom, French pointed his finger at Martinez-Smith and said he would have her arrested if she even went near her husband at the nursing home.

At a subsequent hearing, French also granted the guardian’s request to annul the marriage. “I was crying in his courtroom,” Martinez-Smith said.

Again, the appellate court reversed, ousting Cramer as guardian on March 18. It said French abused his discretion in not following Smith’s wishes that his wife be in control of his medical care and assets.

“It’s not surprising that someone strongly advocating for excellent care for their loved one would be at odds with staff which may be less than diligent in delivering such care,” the opinion written by appellate court Judge Martha Warner stated.

Martinez-Smith’s attorney, Jennifer Carroll of Palm Beach Gardens, said the recent opinion is precedent-setting because the court said the wishes of the ward are paramount.

“The most important thing about this is that each individual has a fundamental right to choose their guardian or medical caregiver,” Carroll said.

Now that Cramer is out, Martinez-Smith is again her husband’s health-care surrogate. On Wednesday, she had him transported to Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale to be examined. He arrived in a wheelchair, alert but also unresponsive, dehydrated and with sores all over his body.

She comforted him, rubbing his chest in the wheelchair. “We are going to do everything we can to make you better,” she told him.

I understand that the criminals did not stop their assaults ! Florida’s law enforcement people are still doing nothing. The Helen Stone case ***** all start as tributes to the fact that it is UNSAFE to get old in Florida!

how do such illegal and unconscionable arrests and harassments such as occurred to Tim Lahrman occur in the Americana! How are fundamentally decent people lead into such horrible and wrong activities?

Apathy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any one of us can find ourselves n the very same position as Tim Lahrman. Herein in Illinois more than one Mary Sykes was literally kidnapped off the street for elder cleansing. In Florida Helen Stone was a victim *****. It has been reported that homeless people were herded into nursing homes so that the government could be defrauded of their social security, medicare/medicaid etc.

late in the day we are waking! Lahrman is the straw that breaks the camel’s back! These e-mails serve several purposes, to wit: 1) they alert the authorities to a miscarriage of justice and given them the opportunity to DO THE RIGHT THING and join in the struggle for remediation of America’s core principles; 2) they alert the authorities to the fact of a miscarriage of justice and to the fact that serious laws are being violated and their will be consequences. See 42 USCA 1983, Americans for Disabilities Act, the 13th and 14th Amendments, the IRS code *****; and 3) give us (the great unwashed) a rallying point and a point of legal reference.

I copy the Justice Department on each of my missiles not out of desire to demonstrate my adoration of Attorney General Lynch, but, to provide her with evidence that each of the miscreants has scienter and that Tim Lahrman’s incarceration is not just a horrible misunderstanding but conscious action by judicial officials and police officials.

NB. A question was asked of me as to whether or not there is any tax liability associated with this arrest. 18 USCA 371 and 18 USCA 241/242 both deal with conspiracies. The original prosecutions of Tim Lahrman appear to be related to the theft of his life by the illegal guardianship. This illegal guardianship while occurring almost two decades ago resulted in breaches of fiduciary relationships (and taxable events). From my interview with Tim, it was very clear that the taxable event was not reported on the 1040 and 1041 tax returns that the guardian was required to file.

Ergo – a specie of tax fraud has occurred and since it was not reported on the tax forms the statute of limitations never started to run. (However) There appears to be a relationship between the 1999 Marijuana fiasco and the tax fraud. It is my memory that this event might have had something to do with the IRS investigation in which Tim offered full co-operation. apparently the IRS addressed the problem and received a substantial settlement.

The issue in my mind is resolved. HOWEVER, as the guardianship was never terminated. Does the lack of termination create a revival of the taxable event? Does retaliatory arrests 17 years later revive the taxable event?

I do not know the answer, but, with government needing money I am delighted not to be professionally involved in the wrongful proceedings on the prosecution side. By the clear light of hindsight I expect that we will get some answers!

How to contact Tim Lahrman

Posted on April 6, 2016 by Joanne M Denison

Apparently, he is still in jail at Elkhardt Indiana county jail and if anyone has his name and phone of the Public Defender, the States Attorney or the Commander of Police to send out emails and faxes, please send it along.

Here’s what I did:

I am on the phone now setting up an account. $9.95 fee! you have to call 574 891 2100 and then get transferred a couple of times to the jail, then you have to set up an account. you can’t just go there.

they will give him a message that I can call him. I’m going to try to figure out the email next.

procedure: dial 574-891-2100.they answer, there’s along message, jail press 1, then it goes to the jail, inmate information, press 1, call transferred to inmate info system, message–you can do video visitation on anderoid, vistfromhome.net, then leave jail voice mail, then there’s a message, you can leave a credit card, $1.99 for voice mail, you don’t have to open an account. press 3 when your message is acceptable. It’s a real pain.

But if you have $1.99 the good news is you can leave a message for him.

I asked him to get the jailer info to fax and email him to release Tim. We need to keep up with the faxes, emails and phone calls. Even if you can just pick up the phone and leave a message with the police, the jailer/warden, the public defender, the states attorney, that is wonderful.

plus a fee of $1.99 per month. what a bunch of jerks.

Guardianship is…should be posted on every probate court room door

here in Cook County there are certain judges who will sign just about any order handed to them by a favored attorney.

In the Mary Sykes case, Judge Connors knew or should have known that Mary was never served with summons as required by 755 ILCS 5/11a – 10. In fact a summons complying with the statute was not even printed by the Clerk of the Court, and certainly the attorney representing the petitioner (who wanted to be guardian) did not draft or print one in according with the statute. Indeed, the 14 days prior notice of hearing to close (near) relatives was ignored – it was un=necessary as no hearing was held. However, when attorney AS and CF presented the order appointing a guardian for Mary Judge Connors just signed it.

This was the death knoll for Mary!

Jerome Larkin of the IARDC and his 18 USCA 371 co-conspirators moved heaven and earth to protect this theft. In fact they are still act it. The net is 3 million dollars was uninventoried and not accounted for.

What is the result? The miscreants are three million dollars richer. As the Illinois Department of Revenue and the IRS have not sought to collect the taxes – owed jointly and severally by all the miscreants this botty is essentially tax free! Even though Judge Connors admitted starting at page 90 of her deposition that she was wired – her penalty was that she was elevated to the Appellate Court.

Indeed, both JoAnne Denison and I have raised this issue. Our reward is long suspensions of our law licenses. Gloria Sykes raised the issue – her estate was ravaged! Her security threatened and – *****.

What do we do? We keep up writing these e-mails and protesting the corruption until someone listens to us and actually does something to collect the taxes that Mr. Larkin and his 18 USCA 371 associates owe to the Federal and State governments. With interest, penalties and unpaid taxes it is clear to me that Larkin and his miscreant associates personally must owe enough to make Illinois not need a budget —

Justice 4 Every1, NFP — Rent Money Needed!

Posted on April 6, 2016 by Joanne M Denison

Justice 4 Every1 is desperately in need of rent money and is in imminent danger of eviction. One tenant I am sharing space with is 85 and could not pay rent. Another client that was to pay me $25,000 from the $287,000 that I got for him in probate refuses to pay because he wants to save the money to buy his own home back from the probate court so he and his mother are safe to live there. Whether or not people pay me, I do not sue them.
Justice 4 Every1 has done great work in the past few years. We have worked to remove Judge Stuart who lied at my trial and was part of fleecing the Mary Sykes estate of all it’s assets. There was no jurisdiction in that case and Mary was never service with a Petition or Notice of Hearing. Her elderly sisters were never served with the time, date and place of hearing. Judge Stuart is gone.
Judge Kowamoto was the sitting judge when 99 year old Alice Gore was isolated from her family for 10 months, and then when 20+ friends and family came to see her, 29 gold teeth were pulled, and she had a feeding tube inserted at one end and a diaper at the other and she was being drugged heavily. After publication of those facts, Judge Kowamoto would be gone in about 6 weeks for the terror she visited upon poor Alice Gore and Bev and Ken Cooper.
Currently, we are protecting activist Tim Lahrman with a barage of emails and phone calls (see our blog at www.MaryGSykes.com . He has an important appellate brief up at the 7th circuit asking for help for disableds under the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) when they are in foreclouse. As many are aware, the foreclosure courts are a hotbed of corruption for robo signing, foreclosure despite timely payments, forced expensive insurance and a litany of fraudulent acts. Currently we are drafting complaints for people trying to do Loan Modifications when they run into financial trouble, but the banks make it difficult to impossible to finish this process by “carouselling” documents, or they ask for repeated applications, financial forms and data, tax return copies, proof of employment, etc. One client in particular, was “carouselled” by Ocwen for 8 years and then received a Notice of Foreclosure even though they never made him either an offer or a denial.
Another client, received a payment demand notice after he was 2 months behind, complied by sending a series of $5,000 checks, which they refused, and they filed foreclosure against him regardless (this was much more than the monthly payment and would have accellerated the payoff).
So much injustice, so few resources. But in Tim’s case, we have got him a public defender and an arraignment date on Monday, April 4, 2016, the City of Goshen having admitting our phone calls, faxes and letters moved up the hearing date from 2 weeks to 4 daysfor a disabled person. (Something’s very fishy, a new arrest warrant was suddenly issued on 17 year old criminal complaints: one for a broken license plate bolt and another for possession of MJ–well outside the state of limitations).
We now have a team of about 25 wrongfully disciplined lawyers who regularly write letters, emails and faxes to protect civil and human rights. If you know of any cases, we would be glad to help out, for free. No other charity does that. We have supported and fought for prisoners wrongfully imprisoned for months, we have demanded adequate food for them (one inmate was receiving one 6″ pizza per day as total food, so we faxed, emailed and filed a motion to “audit meals for all the prisoners” and the very next day he started receiving 3 MRE’s or ready to eat soldier meals of 2200 calories per day. With our charity, no one is forgotten in prison or jail.
The work we do is important, and unlike most “protect the elderly” charities, we can show actual results with removal of corrupt judges and a return to law and procedure in the court rooms.
Please save our charity and our office space. I can’t work out of my home, because my clients demand a highest level of privacy and the work is dangerous. My car has been damaged (boxed in and heavy object thrown at windshield, sugar in the gas, being tailed, etc.) Other probate activists have had their homes fire bombed, etc.
Thank you for your consideration. We have a list of 20+ clients I and the charity have helped which I will link to. We have about 25 honest and ethical attorneys disciplined, suspended and disbarred for doing nothing but speaking out for the little guy. They too, are victims of court corruption.
Won’t you please help us retain our office space and continue to have the ability to quickly prepare and send out emails, faxes and calls to the authorities to protect your human rights and civil rights Note, if you contact the ACLU, you will get a response of “we have too many clients to serve already and no help for you.”
But if you contact Justice4Every1, you will receive prompt, helpful service of court watchers, emails and faxes and phone calls to protect your human and civil rights.

Date: Apr 6, 2016 2:36 AM

Dear Ms. Marks;

It is come to my attention that you are holding Mr. Lahrman in one of your adult detention centers.

This is to advise you that Mr. Lahrman is a ward of the State of Indiana and as such, he is not available for incarceration. His guardian must be contacted and only the Guardian may legally speak for Mr. Lahrman.

I am now in receipt of a 92 page file that contains repeated statements from Mr. Lahrman that he is a disabled adult. The case should have been referred over to Probate as soon as he was brought in.

Either the State of Indiana considers him a person for the purposes of incarceration, or it does not. The Probate court has now declared him to be a non – entity, a non person and they have complete control over his body and person. If the City is arresting a ward of the State, do you arrest and hold dead people? They are on the same level of being non citizens.

I am herewith demanding immediate transfer of his criminal, misdemeanor case to Probate so that judge can decide the appropriate supervision and treatment for Mr. Lahrman.

I note that Mr. Lahrman did a better job than most attorneys in stating these facts to the Goshen City Police department and the handling of his case was a shameful and shocking tragedy and violation of his human and civil rights, a violation of 42 USC 1983 and 18 USC 241, 242, etc. for denial of due process under color of authority.

I suggest you release him at once to the custody of his Guardian and the Probate Court. If the Guardian fails to or refuses to comply, I suggest the appropriate court appoint a Guardian ad Litem for the purposes of litigation.

Mr. Lahrman is not a criminal; he is a disabled adult.

Sincerely,

JoAnne Denison, Executive Director Justice 4 Every1, NFP

Utterly deplorable–eviction of a 100 year old woman in California

Posted on April 5, 2016 by Joanne M Denison

http://www.desertsun.com/story/news/crime_courts/2016/04/01/elderly-woman-evicted-trial/82527874/

can someone out there go an dhelp this old lady keep her home? I bet California has a law just like Illinois the authorities can come and clean her apartment for her and put her back there to live. This landlord is the worst piece of trash alive–with the court and attorneys not far behind in falling into human trash recepticles.

Evelyn Heller, who was born in 1915, has been booted out of her Palm Desert apartment. (April 1, 2016)

Evelyn Heller, a frail-but-feisty great-grandmother with a long white ponytail, shuffled across a Palm Springs courtroom, barely lifting her feet taking tiny steps. When she reached the judge’s bench, she eased forward on to her toes, then leaned in close, as if unable to see the man in front of her.

“I’m 100 years old!” Heller shouted, before turning her attention to an attorney on the other side of the courtroom. “And I don’t understand what they are talking about.”

Heller, a Coachella Valley resident who was born in 1915, was evicted from her Palm Desert apartment during a brief trial at the Palm Springs courthouse on Friday morning. Despite reluctance voiced by both the judge and the plaintiff’s attorney, Heller was ordered out of her home, and told to pay $616 in prorated rent and more than $800 in court and attorney’s fees.

She now has about two weeks to leave her apartment. Heller said she does not know where she will go.

“I have four grandsons, but I don’t want to be dependent on them,” Heller told the judge, pleading. “I can’t be a burden to my family. They don’t have room for me. That happens in life.”

Heller’s landlord, Deep Canyon Desert LLC, which owns and manages a small cluster of beige apartments at 45200 Deep Canyon Road, said it wanted Heller evicted because she often had loud, disruptive arguments with one of her daughters. The company threatened to evict her twice before, but nothing improved, so it followed through this time.

The apartment complex manager, Melody Morrison, also told a judge said Heller kept the apartment in “deplorable conditions.” A Desert Sun reporter who visited the apartment on Friday afternoon found the carpet dirty and the living room cluttered with boxes and stacks of magazines, but far from the point of hoarding.

After court, Morrison declined to comment, then walked briskly away from a reporter to avoid questions. The company’s attorney, William Windham, an eviction specialist, said his client did not want to evict Heller, but felt it was a reality of their business.

Windham said he felt conflicted too.

“I’ve evicted people off of their death beds and regretted every second of the trial,” Windham said. “But my job is unfortunately to set my feeling aside and do what my clients ask me to do.”

“It would be same if this was a lady who was 30 years old and had five children, or a little old man with cancer,” he added. “If you have a commotion being caused on the property, and the people won’t stop, you have no choice but to take action.”

DESERT SUN

Airbnb picks up tab for Palm Springs ‘squatter’

In this case, that action came in the form of an “unlawful detainer,” which is a mundane court filing in which a landlord asks a judge to force a tenant from a property. Cases like these are rarely worthy of media attention, but the trial held on Friday morning was a strange one.

Heller defended herself, despite the fact that she could barely see or hear. After she took an oath to tell the truth, she kept her hand raised and did a brief hula dance, then laughed under her breath. Her eyesight was too poor to read court documents until someone volunteered a pair of eye glasses from the courtroom audience.

And finally, when it came time for arguments, Heller refused to stay at the defendant’s table, and instead hovered on the edge of the judge’s bench, unwilling to sit. For most defendants, this would result in a firm response from the bailiffs – including possible arrest – but as Heller pleaded with the judge, barely out of arm’s reach, deputies stood back and watched, uncertain how to react.

DESERT SUN

Millennials priced out of Palm Springs rent

This leniency appeared to be a sign of sympathy, but in the end it didn’t matter. Riverside County Judge Charles Haines ruled against Heller without any deliberation. He issued his judgment in a low, hushed tone that she couldn’t hear.

Outside the courtroom, a deputy had to explain to her that she had lost.

“What? What kind of ridiculous thing is that?” she snapped, as the reality of the ruling set in. “But I don’t have any money.”

The Fraud Business as usual–Billing Medicare multiple times for many drugs

Subject: The HHS Inspector General report on hospice billing, released today, found Medicare was billed inappropriately for $268 million in 2012 for hospice general inpatient care.

Date: Apr 5, 2016 4:34 PM

The link that I underlined in yellow is another indication of the massive health care fraud that the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission administered by Jerome Larkin is attempting keep lawyers from making public. The exposure of this fraud in the MaryGSykes blog warranted – according to the Illinois Supreme Court and Mr. Larkin — an interim suspension of one attorney followed by a three year suspension. Just calling for an Honest Investigation of the Mary Sykes case was worth a four year law license suspension. Of course, Seth Gillman’s participation in the Hospice fraud and admitted theft of medicare/medicaid funds does, not according to the IARDC warrant even disciplinary proceedings. (He was indicted in Jan 2014 of $100 million in Medicare, Medicaid and Illinois Health Care Fund fraud, pled guilty to 3 counts last month, agreed to make restitution of the $100 million, and the IARDC has yet to discipline him.)

To the general public the question must have arisen as to why would the Illinois Supreme Court, Judges in secure positions, and lawyers who have clout would jeprodize their careers to steal a few dollars from the Medicare/Medicaid program on the backs of sick old people? The answer is money. In 2012 $268 million was billed inappropriately for hospice care. It was estimated that the enterprises of Attorney Seth Gillman bilked the government out of a billion dollars.

Unfortunately this almost $300 million in theft from the government is chump change! Once a guardian for profit gets involved in an elder cleansing program every dime of savings of the elderly victim is fair game and you can rest assurred will be stolen or redistributed to the guardian and/or his 18 USCA 371 co-conspirators. With the help of a gullible public and dishonest political figures who are saving the social security of the elderly the miscreants obtain not only the social security payments, but pensions, trust funds etc. In the Sykes case, $3 million dollars was never inventoried. In Gore $1.5 million dollars disappeared. In Lydia Gore, $8 milion domestic. In Wyman *******. Answer 1: there is ton of money available to be stolen with little or no consequences. (Yes – these funds are taxable – but do you see Attorney General Lisa Madigan banging on Jerome Larkin’s door to collect the taxes that are due to the State of Illinois? Larkin as a co-conspirator has joint and several liabilty!)

The last Illinois election provided another revelation. Answer 2: To be a Judge in Illinois requires a very substantial payment to the party organization (reported to now be $150,000) It also take money to get elected. Judge jobs pay well, but the investment may mean raiding college funds, retirement, or prevent the wife from getting a new Lexus. Therefore, more than one judge is reported to be open to a little persuasion. The Sykes jurist on page 90 and following of her evidence deposition admitted that she was wired! The IARDC took the deposition and certainly read it, but ignored it as part of the cover-up. To prevent further dissemination of their participation in the health care fraud, the IARDC and their co-conspirators have trashed the Illinois and the United States Constitution. They openly misrepresented in presentations to the Court the SCOTUS case decisions. For instance, to the Illinois Supreme Court, they represented an rejected argument in the Alvarez case and ignored the last pargraph of the Sawyer case. (Alvarez held that even lies are protected by the First Amendment and in Sawyer the SCOTUS rejected sedition as a ground for lawyer discipline.)

The net net is if the USA desires to provide health care to the public it is going to have to enforce the law and put Jerome larkin and his co-conspirators out of business. The guardianship laws, Americans With Disabilities, and the First Amendment will have to be more than laws on the books to placate gadflies and assorted do-gooders. The guardianship situation is per se a deprivation of civil rights! It is justified on the basis of protecting the rights of the disabled person to participate as fully as possible in the American experience. New flash! being a non-person who is routinely exploited, abused and deprived of the rights of citizens is not the American experience.

We need instanter an HONEST INVESTIGATION of this serious corruption. We cannot wait until ******* is President!

And we are hoping for a great show tonight and to discuss some of Brian’s issues in his harrowing child custody case which involved issues of parental alienation, a custody decision made with a judge’s interview of children which was unrecorded and behind closed doors.

That does not seem like much of an open, transparent and democratic process to me, so we will discuss it further.

ABA Model Rules 8.2-8.3 violated the First Amendment and jeopardizes the integrity of a free open and democratic Judicial System and Supreme Court case law

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/first-amendment-vs-attorney-conduct-regulation-sunita

Apr 3, 2016

A hurricane of recent events that has proven to be a mixed bag of blessings and challenges has prompted me to write this article.

JoAnne Denison, JD, a stellar legal professional whom I have known for decades, has signed up as an independent sub-contractor paralegal with my company because her attorney license has a three-year suspension for what appears to be enforcement of an ambiguous ARDC Rule in violation of Ms. Denison’s First Amendment Rights to Free Speech.

Upon review of the ARDC transcripts of the hearings for Ms. Denison’s license suspension, I found that, in my opinion, she was NOT suspended for any of the reasons that the ARDC in any given state exists for in the first place. The ARDC licensing and regulation of an attorney’s conduct in any given state was put in place to protect consumers. The entire premise of a law degree, a bar exam, and a license registration is to ensure that consumers are protected and they get adequate legal representation.

Moreover, Ms. Denison’s efforts to shine a light on the alleged corruption she has asserted has had some favorable results. The corrupt actions of certain judges and attorneys have been uncovered from investigations Ms. Denison catalyzed, which seems to suggest that the “reckless disregard for the truth” may not have been so recklessly disregarded after all.

It is my sincere hope that Ms. Denison’s license will be reinstated sooner rather than later. However, until that happens, I have no intention of infringing on Ms. Denison’s First Amendment Right to Free Speech, no matter how uncomfortable it is to anyone, while she is a sub-contractor paralegal with Paralegal Support Services Inc. I consider it an honor and a privilege to have her here. She brings so much added value to the level of services we can provide with her presence. I am confident that Ms. Denison will continue to provide excellent work product for supervising attorneys and their clients just as vociferously as she did as a licensed attorney, and she will maintain the highest level of integrity, protect attorney-client privileges, follow all the state and federal Bar Association Rules for paralegal conduct, and provide incredible work product with great value for the licensed attorney-clients that are fortunate enough to get her for completion of their projects when they sign up with us.

Novus Healthcare in TX accused of speeding the death of elderly with over medication to “save money”

Posted on April 4, 2016 by Joanne M Denison

Apparently some FBI personnel are starting to take nursing home investigations and murder of the elderly serious. We applaud those efforts. Every time an elderly patient dies in a nursing home, there should be a tox screen for excessive consumption of heavy narcotics. Until and unless a court orders such a treatment (as if that will ever happen, think of the long battle in Terry Schiavo’s case), patients are to be well fed, hydrated and have medications they approve of administered to them. A Guardian does not have the right to withdraw food or hydration or even administer narcotics as chemical restraints. That is all illegal. In Illinois we have the case of In re Tiffany.

Health services CEO ruthlessly took advantage of the terminally ill and elderly, killing patients for profit

Saturday, April 02, 2016 by: Julie Wilson staff writer
Tags: Novus, healthcare fraud, medical murder

(NaturalNews) A Texas based healthcare company has been accused of expediting the deaths of hospice patients via drug overdoses in order to increase profits, according to a report by NBC 5. Brad Harris, 34, founded Novus Health Care Services, Inc. in July 2012, state records show. The company is based in Frisco.

Individuals employed with Novus accuse Harris of making heartless comments about hospice patients living too long. He allegedly instructed nurses to speed up their death by doubling, tripling and quadrupling their medication.

Harris, an accountant with no medical background, reportedly “instructed a nurse to administer overdoses to three patients and directed another employee to increase a patient’s medication to four-times the maximum allowed,” the FBI wrote in an affidavit for a search warrant obtained by the local news.

‘Hastening the death’ of hospice patients

“You need to make this patient go bye-bye,” Harris allegedly wrote in a text sent to a nurse employed with Novus. In the first instance, the nurse refused her boss’s instructions, but the FBI affidavit is unclear as to whether or not any hospice patients were harmed by Harris’ lethal business model.

Apparently, healthcare providers have an incentive to get rid of patients fast because they do not “make more money for longer hospice stays,” reports NBC 5. According to the FBI, hospices are subject to an “aggregator cap,” which limits Medicare and Medicaid payments based on the average annual hospice stay.

Providers can be forced to pay back money to the government if “patients live too long. … Hence, hospice providers have an incentive to enroll patients whose hospice stays will be short relative to the cap,” said the FBI.

Novus first attracted the attention of the FBI in 2014, when information surfaced that the company was recruiting patients “who did not qualify for services,” fraudulently billing the government for unnecessary medical treatments.

It was during the investigation that the FBI learned of Harris’ much more sinister behavior, including that “as part of this scheme, Harris, who has no medical training or licenses, would direct his employed nurses to overdose hospice patients with palliative medications such as morphine to hasten death, and thereby minimize Novus’ (paybacks) under the cap.”

Healthcare fraud, false statements and obstructing an investigation

The FBI raided the offices of the healthcare provider in September 2015, but NBC 5 was unable to view court records pertaining to that search, because they appear to be sealed. Determined to increase profits, Harris handpicked which home healthcare patients would be moved to hospice, completely ignoring their medical needs.

“He did this by having employees who were not doctors sign the certifications with the names of doctors also employed by Novus,” wrote the FBI agent. “If a patient was on hospice care for too long, Harris would direct the patient be moved back to home health, irrespective of whether the patient needed continued hospice care.”

Harris is reported to have made a series of cold-hearted and arguably downright evil comments to the nurses he employed about killing off hospice patients. During a lunch meeting, he told two healthcare executives to “find patients who would die within 24 hours,” in order to “save my ass toward the cap,” according to the FBI.

Referring to a current hospice patient, Harris said that he wished they “would just [expletive] die.” He allegedly directed other employees to “overdose hospice patients when they have been on hospice service for too long.”

The FBI is investigating Novus for healthcare fraud, false statements relating to healthcare matters, and obstruction of a criminal investigation into healthcare offenses. The company was forced to turn over all of its data storage including emails, medical records and passwords.

Novus’ website says: “When you invite us into your home, it’s personal. And we take that invite as an honor as well as an immense responsibility.”

Tim Lahrman, disabled rights activist jailed on 17 year old warrants has been released!

Posted on April 4, 2016 by Joanne M Denison

Keep on with the faxes, phone calls and emails.

I have no idea how he was arrested and jailed on 17 year old criminal complaints against him (one for a broken license plate holder and one for possession of MJ) since the statute of limitations has expired, but I am glad he is safe at home.

And I want to thank all of you out there for your faxes, phone calls and emails for his safety and release from jail. Tim is a hero and does not belong in jail.

He is currently fighting at the 7th circuit for the rights of all disableds to have special accommodations in foreclosure cases. We must support and aide those efforts in every way we can.

Thanks again.

PS – below is Ken Ditkowsky’s synopsis of the case. It is correct

I could not reach Tim to respond to this e-mail – I heard about the 6 AM court hearing In my 53 years in the practice of law the earliest that I ever had a Court hearing was 8:30 A.M. We did by agreement try a case at the end of term time to 2:00 AM.

Let’s put all this into perspective. The matter that Tim is wrongfully in jail for is 17 years old plus. It is a misdemeanor. No bail has been set – (Constitutional Violation). Whomever the public defender is is either incompetent or disinterested. The PD has a duty to the client. Apparently, this PD could care less. (I will inquire if a malpractice action is feasible ). What apparently happened in Court was another Constitutional violation – 6th Amendment. The delay is a clear violation of the right to a speedy trial. (violation 3).

Lets go a step back. By herculean efforts Attorney CS and Journalist JP were able to obtain copies of the court file. It appears that the 17 year old charges were kept alive by a highly suspect proceeding – an exparte trial. Tim was not present. Of course there are some jurisdictional problems, to wit: Tim was declared incompetent and a guardian was appointed for him. A plead of innocent was entered. There is a serious question of jurisdiction! It does not appear that the trial court actually considered that issue.

The file shows a crime lab report. That report creates the reasonable doubt that required the Court to sua sponde dismiss the charges. The report finds that whatever substance that they were given to examine was Marijuana. Marijuana is a plant. Possession of a plant is not against the law, the crime is if the plant contains a barred or controlled substance. Every mariner has possession of this plant – it is called hemp and its makes a very fine grade of rope. There is no finding as to any controlled or banned substance being found.

The fact that Tim is reported to have missed the hearing is irrelevant. The JUDGE had an absolute duty to protect Tim’s rights. When the element of a controlled or banned substance was not proven by proof beyond a reasonable doubt the Judge pursuant to his duty and oath of office had to sua sponde dismiss the proceedings and order remediation of the whatever damages Tim might have suffered.

Of course – the 6th amendment required Tim’s PD to be present – the failure of the PD to move for a dismissal based upon the finding of Tim’s incompetence and upon the lack of a controlled substance/banned substance was INEFFECTIVE COUNSEL. The vacation of any warrant is per se mandatory. In a similar manner the prosecuting attorney breached his duty. The job of a prosecutor is not to convict – it is to see justice was done and therefore knowing that he could not prove that the controlled substance/banned substance was present he was required to dismiss the proceedings.

Looking at the present – 17 year old warrants for misdemeanors cannot be renewed . Everyone is aware that prosecution of stale misdemeanors is wrongful and a denial of equal protection of the law – the law enforcement people have dishonored themselves by even arresting Tim. The Judge, the prosecutor and the PD all had a duty to protect Tim’s rights. It is apparent that they chose not to do so.

As Tim has been declared a disabled person, it is assumed that the local authorities are aware that the holding of Tim, and his continued incarceration are all violate the Americans With Disabilities Act. Tim is entitled to a reasonable accommodation. Appointment of PD who is not available is not appropriate or reasonable. The holding of a citizen in jail under these conditions is outrageous and unAmerican.

PUrsuant to Rule 8.3, 18 USCA 4, I have reported this terrible situation to the Justice Department. The Justice Department administers the ADA. I ‘ve also reported the violation of 18 USCA 241,242 42 USCA 1983. (The Goshen Indiana authorities have also been informed).

What has happened to Tim Lahrman is terrible and a serious violation of his (and our) Civil and Human Rights. It cannot be unanswered. I urge you and all your friends to realize that what Happened to Tim could happen to you, unless we sent a strong message. I leave it to each person who is on this thread to instanter make at least on positive action in support of the Constitution of the United States of America.

I’ve urged in e-mails the local law enforcement to do their jobs and protect Mr. Lahrman’s civil and human rights and mitigate the damages that have been caused.

Date: Apr 1, 2016 11:39 AM

Tim, years ago was pushed out his business by his brother. The brother recognized that litigation would be long and costly so he arranged for Tim to be declared incompetent and have a guardian appointed for him. Tim was never incompetent, nor was he insane. Like the bunch of us he marched to his own drummer. More importantly he made money. Such was the incentive.

In the 1990’s apparently Tim had a Marijuana arrest. He used the incompetency as a sword and a shield. He had done this successfully before to the absolute horror of his guardian and his brother. The guardian was well clouted and resented the fact that when Tim had a problem with the authorities he pointed out that X was his guardian and the authorities ought to speak to the guardian.

This old case apparently was out there when Tim used the guardianship last year to defend a mortgage foreclosure suit and the unfair procedures. The net was this exposed a powerful and clout heavy member of the political elite’s (judicial elite) past. No matter how you slice it stealing money and misusing the Courts is a felony and when covered up an ongoing felony. Tim is well written and relentless and therefore he had to be shut up.

Therefore, as is common the miscreants use their clout to accomplish illegal ends. They dug up the old Marijuana charge (and driving with suspended license) both misdemeanors and arrested Tim. They apparently figured that a month or so in the City jail would either push Tim over the edge or convince him to lay off. The charges are 17 years old and clearly wrongful. As Tim was helping many in their battles with the elder cleansers when he suddenly disappeared from the scene Rosanne started making inquiries and found out that Tim was in jail. Candy and Janet both jumped into the picture and started a mini=hue and cry that is going on today. They raised the Americans With Disabilities Act and the FBI and the Justice Department notified as to the discrimination against a disabled person.

Amongst the complaints that have been raised are:

1) the complaint is stale – and the warrants issued stale

2) the underlying proceedings are clearing unconstitutional and highly discriminatory – more important the laboratory report does not find the chemical substance that make Marijana illegal and subject to regulation. Rope is not a item that is prohibited by law. Hemp rope is very expensive.

3) Tim’s current civil and human rights are being violated – i.e. no bail hearing, no public defender appointed – it appears that at 6:00 AM in a hurriedly call hearing the Judge finally appointed a PD (Thursday) who is disinterested in even meeting with Tim

4) Tim has not been given a reasonable accommodation, his guardian, who is believed not have filed a final account, is ignoring the proceeding – except to possibly promulgate it.

Tim is not law trained but he has good instincts. The local legal eagles figured to have one of the trained shrinks who is programmed to parrot whatever the prevailing wind requires was to be enlisted. Then using the parrotted testimony they intended to get the guardian off the hook = sans the accounting. Tim refused to allow this to happen, ergo, these proceedings lingered for 17 plus years!

This is another example of the elder cleansing scenario and the protection that it is afforded in the Courts. Elder Cleansing is one of the most lucrative and fastest growing cottage industries in America.

I hope this answers your question Andy. (The facts recited are based upon my personal analysis and are subject to revision as further information is received)

Tim’s arrest with a decade’s old arrest warrant. How does this happen?

Posted on April 1, 2016 by Joanne M Denison

Somehow a 17 year old arrest warrant was recently reissued against an Elder and Disabled rights attorney when his case to force the courts to make reasonable accommodations to the Disableds in foreclosures (appoint attorneys, GAL’s, etc. for assistance), is now up at the 7th circuit.

Perhaps he also made the mistake of publishing the truth and pictures of certain judges in state court, as Ken and I have done.

Regardless, someone sent me the law on Indiana arrest warrants and that they expire and are supposed to be returned to the Clerk of Court in 180 days. The warrant can be reissued, but what judge in their right mind would do this when the Statute of Limitations on a broken license plate and possession of MJ is far less than 17 years.

Who set this up? Of course, it could be a mistake, but now Tim’s entire arrest is illegal, unconstitutional and an Abuse of Power, so for sure he will be back to the ND of Indiana Court on a 42 USC 1983 and 18 USC 242 for deprivation of rights under color of law.

I have no idea how the State of Indiana can seize someone who is an incompetent and not just turn them over to the care of his or her Guardian. They are legally a non person now, just like your cat or dog, and if a cat or dog gets lost, the police keep them safely until doggie mom or dad can pick them up.

Tim’s guardian should have been contacted immediately, and when he didn’t respond, an emergency petition should have been filed for a temporary guardian to release him to the custody of. I don’t understand how he can be charged with anything. He is no longer legally a person.

Good news on Tim Lahrman–disability rights activist

Posted on March 31, 2016 by Joanne M Denison

>> Tim is in great spirits! The email I received indicated that he was in court at 6am with the public defender, whom had not previously even met him and knew nothing about his disabilities or the case. so she was admonished or instructed to go meet with her client and prepare for the next hearing April 11. She is apparently going on vacation tomorrow? Tim said sucks to be her and the joke was on her when the judge suggested she best meet with Tim BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE LETTERS THEY HAVE RECEIVED AND PHONE CALLLS OF INDIVIDUALS WANTING TO KNOW ABOUT HIS WELLBEING.

Protecting the Disabled–a Cry for help and Tim Lahrman

Posted on March 31, 2016 by Joanne M Denison

As many of you are aware by now, Tim Lahrman, a champion for the disabled who has written scores of pleadings for people victimized by corrupt courts and with no place to turn because they take all the victim’s money, has been picked up by the Indiana police for 17 year old warrants and a DSL or driving on a suspended license.

We have heard that 17 years ago, he was arrested for an MJ charge he never showed up for, well, it’s been 17 years and the limitations period is over. Even if that is not true, the reality is, most states have medical MJ so if Tim is using that to self medicate depression, again, who cares. It is well known right now that MJ is an excellent treatment for pain, seizures, depression, anorexia, cancer and a whole host of medical conditions and that is why most likely it was banned.

Tim needs our support right now. I’m not sure how the State of Indiana can pick up someone who is a ward of the state and then not contact the guardian and not have the guardian present during an arraignment and all hearings. That is what a guardian is for because Tim is legally a non entity. The State of Indiana has not done that. Pretty much, his guardian hasn’t shown up for anything and he lingers in jail because the State doesn’t know what to do with a ward of the state.

And if you don’t think that screwing up people’s human and civil rights never happens in the US, take a look at this case:

http://www.oddee.com/item_98768.aspx

and my favorite, an Oregon man held for 900 days without commiting any crime whatsoever:

http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2015/03/oregon_man_commits_no_crime_bu.html

Please write, call and hound the authorities to release him on his old warrant and get the guardian to do his job and get Tim out of there.

Tim recently filed briefs at the 7th circuit to demand ADA compliance for persons facing foreclosure and give them more time and more assistance with their cases. He is a known activist, and like Bettie Jones, the activist from Chicago, shot in the neck “accidentally” by the police, we want to keep him safe.

Everyone pretty much knows that being an activist in this field is dangerous. There are a lot of people who don’t want to shut off the money stream and/or go to prison. Many of you have voiced your concern for Tim being picked up on a bogus, outdated warrant was due to the fact that to provide assistance to the elderly and disabled during foreclosures would cost the banks dearly and they don’t want that.

Tim wrote a great brief so let’s make sure he stays safe. Phone numbers and more information is below:

Dear Mr. Maley,

The saga of Tim Lehrman is well known in your county as one of the dark moments. It started with a business take=over. Rather than use the conventional method of dissolving a partnership, Mr. Lahrman’s partner used a version of the Chicago method. Using clout and a little grease Tim was declared incompetent. A guardian was appointed and the business was sold. When the economic incentive disappeared the guardian abandoned his ward without a properly noticed finally accounting and an order terminating the guardianship and restoring Tim to being a “person.”

Thus, Tim became the youngest person to be ‘elder cleansed.’ Stripped of his substantial estate, Tim fought to protect the elderly and the disabled from similar outrages such as he was and is enduring.

About a week ago, friends who Tim had assisted in resisting the American Holocaust and the great American cover=up once again was victimized. He was picked up by the local police department on what appears to be illegal warrants relating to offenses that occurred 17 years ago. As Tim at all times relevant has been a resident of the county, it is obvious to us that 18 USCA 241, 242, 371 were violated (see also 42 USCA 1983). The details of Tim’s incarceration are still being investigated but we do know that Tim was seized, placed in jail, denied competent counsel, denied bail, and denied the reasonable accommodations required under the Americans With Disabilities Act. (The fact that Tim is competent means nothing as the Indiana Court has corruptly declared him to be incompetent)

We have appealed to the local authorities to do what is right and to re-mediate what appears to be a serious assault on Tim’s Constitutional Rights.

For you information, I’ve copied a portion of the blog MaryGSykes, to wit:

Why is Tim Lahrman a “disabled adult” in Indiana–read his press release!

Posted on January 22, 2015

Tim Lahrman is one of the most intelligent, thinking and philosophical persons I know. His cognitive skills are excellent and have been through the many years that I and others have known him. But, back when he was young, he built up a very successful and profitable electrnoics business. He ran it successfully. Bad news for him, he had an evil greedy brother with an evil greedy attorney and a rubber stamping court. So despite his prowess and business accumen, that meant nothing to a probate judge and next thing he knows, at approx. age 21, he is stamped a “disabled adult”, primarily due to the fact that the court was told he uses cannibis setiva for recreational purposes. Now coming to the age when medical marijuana is starting to become a right and a recognized and effective treatment and cure for problems from depression and anxiety to cancer, and it it generally perceived as quite safe in use, the faud on the court of Tim Larhman being adjuicated disabled is fairly absurd and bespeaks very little about the Indiana probate system as being a massive, decades long fraud on the court. Since his brother stripped every dime out of that business, together with court connected attorneys, and drove the business into the ground quickly, Tim has dedicated his life to writing briefs, complaints, grievances and other advocacy items for probate victims and their terrorized families.

Recently, he has filed an Americans With Disabilities complaint in Federal Court in Indiana, an excellent pleading that even many highly skilled attorneys would be jealous of. I will try to publish the complaint so that it helps other court victims in similar situations.

Here is his intelligent, well written Press Relase concerning his case. Whatever the
State of Indiana thinks about him is “disabled” is light years from reality. It bespeaks the ramapant corruption of probate laws when used in probate court where black can be white and all the judges and court connected attorneys will pat themselves on the back making such a superior agreement between themselves.

Tim L. and I am here to say the corruption of probate law usage has no clothes.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 21, 2015
Elkhart Indiana: DISABLED RESIDENT SUES TO BE INCLUDED
Not many people want to be named in a lawsuit but such is not the case for Elkhart County resident Tim Lahrman — he has sued to be included. That’s right, he has sued because he wants to be sued and in an odd twist of justice Lahrman, who is disabled, has sued the Elkhart County Superior Court No. 2 (Stephen R. Bowers, Judge) for excluding him from participating in an ongoing lawsuit involving Lahrman’s Elkhart home and residence of twenty-two-plus (22+) years.
Title II of the Americans’ With Disabilities Act 1990* (“ADA”) prohibits state and local governments from discriminating against the disabled and excluding the disabled from an equal opportunity to access, participate in, benefit from and effectively communicate with, any of the “services, programs and activities” of a public entity – the state and local courts included. In a 2011 Title II ADA case involving the City of LaPorte, U.S. District Court Chief Judge Robert L. Miller, Jr. agreed with those disabled plaintiffs, who were suing over access to city sidewalks, and found that “everything government does is a program, service and activity of a public entity.” The ADA is not so completely one-sided however and there are exceptions and affirmative defenses recognized by the ADA which in fact limit a public entity’s liability under the ADA but, by and large, the U.S. Supreme Court has said, “[I]n sum, Title II requires … special accommodations for disabled persons in virtually every interaction they have with the State.”
Filed on January 20, 2015 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division, Lahrman’s lawsuit did not stop with just Judge Bowers and the Elkhart Superior Court No. 2, Lahrman likewise sued the Elkhart County Circuit Court and Judge Terry Shewmaker who Lahrman says in his lawsuit – excluded Lahrman, because of his disability, from equal access to participate in equally, benefit equally from and effectively communicate equally effectively with, the services programs and activities of the public entity Elkhart County Circuit Court. The lawsuit also names defendant the Chief Judge of the Indiana Court of Appeals, the State of Indiana, the Office of Indiana Attorney General and the Indiana Supreme Court Division of State Court Administration which, according to Lahrman’s lawsuit, “serves the public in a consumer protection capacity by administratively regulating Indiana attorneys and judges so as to ensure for the Indiana public an educationally qualified and professionally competent judiciary” – a responsibility that according to Lahrman the state of Indiana as a public entity is failing miserably where disability discrimination and ADA compliance are involved.
In the ninety-plus (90+) page federal lawsuit filed by Lahrman who has no attorney and is appearing pro se in representation of himself, in addition to the Title II disability discrimination claims against state and local public entities Lahrman also sued the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC and Green Tree Servicing LLC (as successors of GMAC Mortgage LLC) for; violations of the Fair Housing Act; violations of both
federal and state consumer protection laws; and, as relating to Fannie Mae, for violations of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act 2008 (“HERA”).
The case of Timothy J. Lahrman v. Elkhart County Superior Court No. 2, Stephen R. Bowers, Judge, et al. [Case No. 3:15-cv-026] will be one worth watching for it may well have far reaching implications for both the community of disabled individuals and American homeowners all across the nation. Residing quietly in the Michiana community since 1989 Lahrman has dedicated his retired life to the study and research of both the history and law of guardianship/conservatorship. Lahrman is among the nation’s leading advocates working for reform and accountability in the law and practice of guardianship/conservatorship which according to Lahrman is an experience he would not wish on his own worst enemy. According to Lahrman more than a million American adults are under guardianship/conservatorship is every state in the country and in ever y state in the country families are crying foul – just as are the shareholders in Fannie Mae crying foul — about the conservatorships/guardianships that are so negatively impacting the lives of millions of Americans.

Sidney Powell’s Book Licensed to Lie–problems in FBI

Posted on March 31, 2016 by Joanne M Denison

Sidney Powell Discusses New Book “Licensed to Lie” on Chad Hasty Show

By Jacob Estrada May 28, 2014 12:01 PM

Licensed-To-Lie-Book — licensedtolie.com

Former assistant attorney Sidney Powell, appeared on the Chad Hasty Show to discuss her new book Licensed to Lie that exposed corruption in the US Department of Justice through true stories and personal accounts.

Before becoming an author, Sidney Powell was a federal prosecutor for more than ten years in the U.S. justice system for three different districts and nine district attorneys covering both republican and democrat parties.

In the book, which she describes as a legal thriller, Powell discusses the corruption she personally witnessed while involved in the U.S. justice system and what she calls “cruel, illegal, and unethical” practices being used by prosecutors in the Justice Department.

“It’s a book a prayed I’d never have to write- I did have to write it, because despite ten years of litigation, basically. . . we could not get the system to work like it should have. And injustice is something I have no tolerance for.”

With the new book, Powell hopes to bring national attention to the wide-spread corruption of the U.S. Justice Department. In the interview, Powell discussed the various cases that she covers in her book that demonstrate wide spread corruption in high profile court cases. She also explained how the book covers the extreme and devastating personal tolls that federal criminal prosecution can have on individuals and families involved.

She accounts her attempts to meet with various Department of Justice officials such as Attorney General Eric Holder, to try and bring those responsible for corruption to justice, but Holder is said to have ultimately ignored her, despite previous promises that Holder was going to clean up the department. When recalling interactions with Holder on a specific case, Powell said,

“I went to DC for a meeting with his[Holder] subordinates. . . he refused to meet with us, of course. . . They treated us with such hostility in the meeting that it was clear nothing was going to be done about it.”

Powell also discusses an important legislative bill brought to the U.S. Congress back in 2012, called the Fairness and Disclosure of Evidence Act. She says that despite wide-spread support of the bill by many organizations, it’s been pending in Congress for years only because the Justice Department openly opposes it. She also said the current politicization of the U.S. Justice Department is the worst she’s seen, and that it may be the most corrupt in American history.

“I just think the truth has to be told. The only way to make this country better is to face the truth, identify what our mistakes are and correct them. . . You’ve got to own up to whatever is wrong and fix it.”

Sidney Powell will have a book signing event at the Barnes and Noble in the South Plains Mall in Lubbock today, May 28th from 3:00p.m. to 6:00p.m. At the event, Powell will sign copies of her book that are purchased and answer questions.

For more information on Sidney Powell and her new book, visit her website.

Special Sale–John Howard Wyman’s Bood Against her Will — $15 Paypal/Quickpay

Posted on March 28, 2016 by Joanne M Denison

A cautionary tale of elder abuse and the system that perpetuates it. Two years ago John Wyman’s mother Carol walked out of a nursing home in Rockford, Illinois. She had been placed there for the convenience of others, not for her own well-being and had suffered mentally, physically and emotionally. When she ended up at John’s home outside of Aspen, Colorado his journey began. Hairdresser by trade, rebel at heart, John took on the challenges of dealing with nursing homes, courts and family members to provide the best possible situation for his mother. What he experienced woke him up to the inequities and injustices lurking in the systems which have been established to help our older population. He decided to share his story to make us all aware of the catastrophic possibilities that lie in wait if we don’t take action to change these systems. A must read for all who may become old.

Please email me your $15 payment (which includes Shipping and Handling) to joanne@denisonlaw.com. You can pay via Chase Quick Pay (does not require a Chase account to pay), text me a check at 773-255-7608 or Paypal me. All proceeds go to Justice 4 Every 1, NFP.

The book is an excellent read and below is my review:

ByJoanne Denisonon August 18, 2012

Verified Purchase

I just got done reading Mr. Wyman’s book and I am utterly amazed at how much he was able to accomplish in the Illinois Probate System. On the 18th floor of the Daley Center in Chicago, it is equally corrupt. Far too many GAL’s and probate attorneys churn the bill, create conflict and agony in a family rather than bringing them all together and obtaining a consensus on care for grandma and grandpa.
The nursing home and elder care services are often wired in and corrupt, charging excessive fees and sometimes whatever they want to churn huge profits. The judges get campaign contributions from the attorneys and wired in nursing homes and elder care services appearing before them.
Mr. Wyman is completely correct in saying that a family home should NEVER be sold to pay for any attorney fees, elder care services required by the probate court, and I have a list of oh so much more on my blog at […] From the get go, that pot of cash creates a huge incentive for the GAL’s and the nursing homes to churn up discord which directly relates to fees for all the attorneys.
You need to protect yourself from Probate and the evil that happens there too frequently. Use advance directives and get a skilled attorney. Watch out for the relative that petitions first but is greedy and estranged from the family.
There should be more, so much more, put in place to protect the elderly from the nursing home business and ensure they can stay in their homes without fear of a sale until both husband and wife pass and all other dependents such as grandchildren and disabled persons they were caring for.
Today, you walk into Probate court and you see a whole lot of evil. Judges summarily ordering out dependent relatives in wheel chairs (totally illegal), judges appointing family members as guardian who were actually estranged from the senior! Judges that never ask prior to an appointment, “did you serve notice of the Motion to Appoint a Guardian on all close relatives-adult siblings and children-14 days prior to this hearing.” How about, do you even know who all the adult siblings and children are? You can’t appoint a guardian without proper service and notice, but it happens.
All kinds of evil and greed goes on and the wolves are guarding this chicken house.
Mr. Wyman gives a lot of good tips and tricks on how to make your life easier in Probate, so it’s an excellent read to anyone facing Probate and a disabled senior.
Highly recommended and 90% accurate–which is excellent for a layperson.
The real key reason Mr. Wyman did so well in Probate 1) his father (the guardian) was infirm himself and had no way to fight a probate proceeding because he was in a nursing home himself, otherwise an extended fight between siblings could go on for years; and 2) he researched, researched, researched anything and everything. As in all cases, if you go to court by yourself, expect to do hours and hours of research to be successful.
Good for you Mr. Wyman, you are true inspiration for change in the Probate system and in federal laws to protect grandma and grandpa.
