Lashly & Baer Matthew McBride of Lashly & Baer Abused the legal process to harass me into bankruptcy because I wrote a Rip Off Report on his Friend and a Bar complaint against him St Louis Missouri

Shortly after my last update on this Rip Off Report, someone hacked my phone so that when I open my facebook I see my name with a gun target around it.  My wife and I have no other enemies. We own a popular massage studio. This hack threat has happened twice now. I have captured pictures of it both times and have it side by side next to a picture of what it is supposed to look like without a gun target painted around it. I am 100% certain that it is related to this Rip Off Report. I am most certainly not afraid of any death threats. Especially since nothing happened the first time they did it.  This isn't the only hack that I have received since writing these 2 Rip Off Reports either. Someone, for some odd reason, hacked my favorites playlist on youtube and changed teh OG title to say MGA Paborito. I did a facebook scrub to verify. It is supposed to say "Favorites" and instead it showed "MGA Paborito". I did a search for MGA Paborito on Youtube and found this 6 song playlist that references the "Inner Circle" (Cherokee) and also "Statue" since I am making a feature-length film on a famous sculptor. The other songs in the playlist could be interpreted as a threat. This immature and rather amateur hack was used on my youtube favorites playlist because I use it often to communicate. The OG Title was hacked once and I captured it and reported it to youtube. They changed it back. Then the Rip Off Report was made on Matthew McBride and someone hacked the youtube playlist again. Coincidence. I don't think so. I also don't think the gun target is either. But now I have evidence of 2 hacks that were directed towards me that are related in some way to these 2 Rip Off Reports and both which can be interpreted as threats to commit acts of harm towards me or my family. Lashly & Baer is supposed to be a "Professional Corporation". They won't respond to me or to this report but someone is hiding behind a computer making death threats and I promise, No One Is Scared.

I have still yet to receive any type of response from Matthew McBride or anyone at Lashly & Baer. Since he refuses to be responsible for his actions, I feel it is necessary to prove the extent of his lies so I am adding a copy of his amended petition in the Creative Video case which blatantly lies about some net thirty agreement that does not and has never existed. This is a blatant lie and if it is not, then I ask that he provide proof of this net 30 agreement. Matthew McBride maliciously picked up this case and change the petition from a claim of libel in regards to an honest google review to this nonsense about some fake net 30 agreement. I had no net 30 or any other agreement with Bob Anders other than he was supposed to pay me. He refused to pay me in a written email before I contacted his client for payment. 

McBride's amended petition states that I did not have the right to contact the client regarding the footage I had not been paid for. He uses this mysterious, nonexistent and FAKE net 30 agreement as the reason I didn't have the right to contact his client. According to copyright law, which it is very clear Matthew McBride knows nothing about, THE CONTENT CREATOR IS THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER UNLE3SS THERE IS A CONTRACT STATING OTHERWISE, AND SINCE I WAS NOT PAID AND BOB REFUSED TO PAY IN WRITING, HE BREACHED OUR AGREEMENT, giving HIM no rights to the footage I shot and giving me every right to contact his client for payment if they wanted to use what I shot. McBride's petition says "11. Branson had no right to assert the B-roll and second angle shots from the video production." This statement alone proves how little Matthew McBride knows about copyright law. 

If Matthew McBride cannot provide this make-believe net thirty agreement, then he is a liar, ON PAPER, ON A COURT DOCUMENT, and that is ANOTHER RULE VIOLATION.

I am also attaching a sexually harassing email from Matthew's client Bob Anders, which was sent to me directly before I asked McBride to have his client stop harassing us. This is not just harassment, this is straight sexual harassment referencing homosexual acts being filmed and our massage studio. Matthew should be very grateful that my attorney was terrible. If this would have come out in court HE would have been sanctioned. I say bring it Matthew. I will gladly accept a summons form you.

On 3/13 I sent an email to the newly appointed President of Lashly & Baer, Lisa O. Stump introducing myself and asking for a non-harassing and non-threatening reply, because the only contacts I have ever had from Lashly & Baer have been overly harassing. I did get one reply from John Fox Arnold after I sent him the 1st Bar Complaint prior to Matthew joining the Creative Video case. He replied to me on 12/16/2018, prior to my update of the Bar Complaint and prior to Matthew McBride printing out the conversations which he would try and use against me in the Creative Video matter. Mr Arnold's reply was that "This will acknowledge receipt of your recent emails.  I have spoken about this matter with Mr. McBride.  Mr. McBride will undertake such action as he deems appropriate under the circumstances. " I will try and attach a picture of that email but I have been having trouble with some of my photos getting attached properly. 

I also have photo evidence that Lashly & Baer has been Misrepresenting their firm as having active members of the Commercial Law League of America. They have since changed their website to say their attorneys "have been" members after I tagged the CLLA in a post and they informed me that no attorneys from Lashly & Baer are members of the CLLA. I confirmed this via a member search on their website. I have no idea when they last had an attorney that was an active member or if they have ever had an active member but as of 3/14/2018 it said 'our business organizations attorneys ARE ACTIVE MEMBERS of the following' with the CLLA listed but having no attorneys that were active. I don't work for the CLLA but I have worked for a CLLA certified collection agency and I have an associate who owns a company that has an active member of the Commercial Law League of America and I know how difficult it is to maintain membership.  I also know that membership of this prestigious organization implies a certain level of Professionalism and Ethics that I have definitely not seen. 

Lashly & Baer (formerly( misrepresenting themselves as having active members of the CLLA is not directly relevant to this case, but since an attorney from Lashly & Baer Misrepresented Evidence in a courtroom, it seems to be representative of a pattern of deception. 

I sent another email to every single attorney at the firm of Lashly & Baer on 3/16 because I feel that they all have a right to know how their firm is being represented by their fellow attorney and how it is currently being represented online. I have yet to get any response from Lashly & Baer or any of its representatives.

One picture shows Bill Streeter on a trip to Cuba with Matthew McBride. The other photo is the email where Bill tells me he is going to "share information" with Bob Anders, the guy who had been harassing my wife and was trying to sue me pro se for an honest google review.  Matthew McBride Amended the petition with LIES because there was no libel in the google review that was online.
