Bruce Baldinger Billing Fraud (Legal Billing Fraud) tied to Underlying Securities Fraud & Bankruptcy Fraud morristown New Jersey

According to Public Records Bruce Baldinger was sued for "Billing Fraud" by his own client in an adversarial proceeding filed against him in a recent New Jersey Chapter Bankruptcy Proceeding filed by Mr. Singh.

Baldinger somehow managed to fenegle a Superior Court Judge in New Jersey into granting him a default Judgment in the case of Baldinger vs. Bhavesh Singh in the Civil Term Part of Morristown, New Jersey.

According to the Rules of the Clerk of the Court no lawsuit can be commenced until such time that the other party (i.e. defendant(s)) are served by way of Process Server.

In the case of Baldinger v. Singh, Baldinger never lawfully served defendant according to the Court Rules, but instead allegedly "emailed" a copy of the lawsuit [to his own client] who was not even in the U.S. (much less New Jersey) at the time.

The email chain between Baldinger and defendant show, and admit, that defendant was in the United Kingdom (U.K.) at the time, a clear breach of the court rules which the Superior Court Judge willfully and woefully ignored.  

Somehow Baldinger managed to convince the Judge presiding over the civil case to ignore the rules governing "proper and legal service" and simply just "go ahead and enter a default judgment" in favor of Plaintiff.  The Judge who broke the rules has been placed under investigation by the Citizens Purity League of New Jersey, a Non-For-Profit entity that investigates and exposes Statewide Public Corruption in New Jersey to Federal Authorities.

It goes deeper.  The underlying original civil lawsuit claims that Baldinger was not paid approximately $125,000 in legal fees by Bhavesh Singh, however Plaintiff Baldinger alleges that these alleged legal fees are in connection to another case where Baldinger represented, not Singh, but his LLC (Bucephalus Alternative Energy Group, LLC) in a 2011 Chapter 11 Debtor-in-Possession Bankruptcy Case filed in the Southern District of New York.

The Bucephalus Case, remarkably, involved a $940,000 supposed "investment" made by KCR Development into Bucephalus.  The hotly contested (litigated) case involving KCR Devt and Bucephalus reportedly translated into approximately a $350,000 "windfall" for Baldinger ($350,000 of the $940,000).  That's approximately 1/3 of the "investment" allegedly received by the lawyer for the purpose of "counterclaiming" (keep reading).

It goes further. A deeper investigation into this case involved a prior piece of litigation.  A unique but frivolous "counter" lawsuit which Baldinger filed against KCR's principle owner (Annie Chan) for $7,500,000 a mere 6 days after KRC (Chan) simply requested their/her $940,000 back (2008). The $7,500,000 counter lawsuit v KCR/Chan filed by Baldinger, on behalf of Bucephalus claimed Bucephalus was "harmed" because Chan "promised to invest $1,000,000 and could not explain the $60,000 shortfall."  Baldinger's frivolous counter claim also alleged that due to KRC/Chan's lawsuit vs Bucephalus, the principles of Bucephalus "were unable to raise more much needed funds from "new investors".

Recent papers filed by Singh now reveal that Baldinger signed not a "fee/retainer" agreement, but an unlawful "contingency" whereby he would receive a "percentage" of the amount that Singh would not have to pay back to KRC.  

I.e. a percentage of the $940,000 for conducting any/all litigation.  So imagine this:  A $940,000 "investment", refused any redemption resulted in forced litigation within the "justice" system.  Instead of proceeding towards a fair trial, Chan is hit with a $7,500,000 "counter lawsuit" by an attorney whose SOLE MOTIVATION IS A % OF THE "SAVINGS", i.e. a % OF THE INVESTMENT NOT PAID BACK.  Conflict of Interest? Or Billing Fraud? 

It is common knowledge amonst lawyers that you don't sue your clients. To do so is "asking for trouble".

Baldinger's long history of overreaching will have a profound reverberating impact in 2016.
