Who holds these "Officials/Trustees" accountable. There are 226,000 lawyer in New York State alone, these lawyers pay a fee of $350.00 ever other year into this fund which is suppose to compensate clients whose lawyers have been found guilty of wrongful act , (The Funds Model-Rule 10C) in the nature of theft or embezzlement of money or the wrongful taking or conversion of money, property or other things of value,

This organization was started to help make injured clients (victims) whole again. But this organization has become so currupt that they have actually denied more people then they have approved. It seems as though even lawyers are afraid of them. What they (The administration and Trustees) do is completely ignore THE MODEL RULES OF THE FUND ITSELF. Not only that but...

The New York Fund brings in a revenue of $79,100,000.00 EVERY OTHER YEAR! $79 MILLION DOLLARS!!!

But, only $60.00 out of each $350.00 actually goes into the "Client's Fund". Which means only $13,560,000.00 out of every $79,326,000.00 goes into this Fund to compensate clients whose lawyers have stolen from them.

Their wesite also says, The "Trustee" work for the Fund without pay, however they are entitled compensation for any expenses incurred in regards to the Fund. There are Administration, Office, Electric, Investigative,and website Fees.

The Fact that The Lawyers Fund for Client Protection has Model Rules that are governed by The Appelate Courts "Codes of Professional Responsibility" and This Fund and it's administration and "Trustees" are suppose to abide by them and abide by the Rules of the The National Client Protection Organizations Standards for evaluating Lawyers Funds
for Client Protection.

So, why do they deny more claims then they approve?

Why do they tell a claimant that they have not proven dishonest conduct or loss when that client has proven both? AND WHERE DOES THE OTHER $65 MILLION GO?

Many lawyers have no clue what is going on here. They just pay the fee of $350.00, (it's only one hours work for them) and they go on.

**The National Client Protection Organizations Standards for evaluating Lawyers Funds for Client Protection says regarding victimized clients.
4. Responsiveness To The Need
4.1 The ultimate goal of the Fund is to fully reimburse all clients victimizedby the dishonest conduct of their lawyers in as timely a manner as possible.

**The Lawyers Fund for Client Protections MThe Funds Model-Rule 12-B also say's, An order disciplining a lawyer for the same dishonest act of conduct alleged in a claim or final judgment imposing civil or criminal liability therefore shall be evidence that the lawyers committed such dishonest act
or conduct.

This organizations original purpse was meant to "promote public confidence the the administration of justice and the integrity of the legal profession."

How...May I Ask, "Do these actions "promote public confidence in the
administration of justice and the integrity of the legal profession?"

The Administration and the Trustees, go AGAINST THE VERY MODEL RULES they're organization was built upon. They even break The National Client Protection Organizations Standards for evaluating Lawyers Funds for Client Protection rules.

"The Lawyers Fund Committee"

*Bernard F. Ashe of Delmar
*Nancy Burner of Setauket
*Charles Joseph Hynes of Brooklyn.
*Theresa B. Mazzullo of Rochester,
*Eric A. Seiff, resides in the Bronx.
*Charlotte G. Holstein of Syracuse.
*Timothy J. O'Sullivan of Albany

This is a disgrace, and makes people hate the law profession even more.
