Marie Haspil / James Ehler / Texas Bar / Texas Judicial Conduct Commission Lanette Joubert / William Dudley / William Kelly Introduction to Commentaries and Case Studies Austin Texas, Texas

 They Why?

This is not revenge. This has nothing to do with the damage done to me. This is done out of a sense of public responsibility. I have seen people hurt very badly, and I have seen a corrupt legal system.

It is unacceptable to me to have lawyers and others asking a child to lie about his parent especially in ways designed to destroy the parent.  I have "seen" this several times all involving the same group of lawyers. It is unacceptable to me to have lawyers abusing people financially and in other ways. I have "seen" this more than once and the worst offenders are the same group of lawyers.  It is unacceptable to me to see fraud, and I have seen this multiple times again the same group of lawyers. The worst case of fraud involved Larry Adams who stole a child with a fraudulent order.

These things have occurred over the course of over a decade. These things for most of this time have dominated my life not allowing me to live a normal life as a lawyer. The abuse has been horrendous both abuse of clients particularly Stanley Rains and Jennifer Flores-Lamb and myself.

I have seen a couple of judges cooperate in these things, but the Bar Association has consistently participated in these things. The bar is corrupt and dishonest to the Core. The main offender has been James Ehler and a recent addition has been Marie Haspil, but the corruption and dishonesty goes to the top levels of the bar. The bar in Austin knows of the corruption and dishonesty involved, and it has done nothing. I spoke to one investigator in Austin extensively, and he didn't dispute anything I said. His main reaction seemed to be mild amusement.

As just one example, you have an honorable woman repeatedly falsely sexually maligned. It was a malicious and not grounded in evidence. Her child then tells her that his father's lawyers and others asked him to lie that his mother "touched" him improperly and he saw his mother and her lawyer in bed together. The first requested lie corresponded to a regular practice by these lawyers, and the second corresponded to the false sexual accusations against this woman and her lawyer for months.

This was a very serious situation. The child reported a crime (witness tampering). The crime was designed to possibly put the woman in prison and certainly further malign her falsely in the civil litigation. They were involving her lawyer in the allegations, and he could be further involved. These lawyers regularly involve the police in their cases.

The bar without any doubt conspired with corrupt Judge William Adams and the corrupt lawyers at issue to cover up what this child said. There can be debate whether the bar joined the conspiracy, either before or after the judge signed the corrupt orders at issue, but the bar certainly joined the conspiracy, and the bar committed a crime.

It is certainly not true that it is frivolous to believe a child. That is just a lie. There was clearly a total disdain for the law and the truth by the corrupt bar. There was a lot of communication. The bar was briefed on both the law and the facts. The bar was asked questions like "why is it frivolous to believe children generally" and "why is it frivolous to believe this particular child." Of course, it is not frivolous to believe children generally, and there was nothing about this child that made him unbelievable.  Actually, both parents testified that he was honest and intelligent. Again, the bar didn't care about the truth or the law. The bar could not and did not respond. It was intentionally corrupt.

What would be the alternative? The lawyer just ignores what the child said?  The lawyer either ignores the child (and the mother also) without explanation? Or, the lawyer tell the truth, specifically, I cannot represent you on this issue because the bar is corrupt. Yes, you might go to prison. You will almost certainly lose your child, but there is nothing I can do for you. The bar is corrupt, and if I help you, I will be destroyed.

That simply is not acceptable. That is pure corruption. The mother had a right to believe her child, and the child had a right to be believed. There was nothing even close to genuine legal process or truth seeking. What happened was a lynching not grounded in evidence or law. It was along the lines of I dare you believe that child rather than us because he are Board Certified Family Super Lawyers. That is pure corruption. It was later learned that one of the lawyers who asked the child to lie was the judge's personal lawyer and friend.  This conflict of interest was never disclosed.

The judge could have been biased without complaint. If he had patiently listened to the evidence and then said he didn't believe the child, there would have been nothing said. Instead you had this circus, where he attacks the mother for subpoenaing witnesses, he attacks her for believing her own child, he ignores blatant falsehoods presented by the father's lawyer, he ignores the welfare of the child, and he devastates this mother and her lawyer both financially and their reputations because they defended themselves from a conspiracy revealed by the child designed to put the mother into prison (possibly, her lawyer also) and certainly to falsely accuse her of a very serious crime.

When you have a judge and the Bar Association saying that this mother was not entitled to representation under these circumstances and attacking her and her lawyer for defending themselves, they are not playing by the rules. They are being corrupt. Further, it is not just minor corruption, it is very major corruption. James Ehler is a repeat offender. He has been corrupt several times over the course of a decade.

That is just one situation and it is only part of even that one situation. The point is just to show the seriousness of the situation. No honorable lawyer would do nothing in light of corruption and dishonesty, corruption, and criminality of this magnitude.

The bar as represented by James Ehler and Marie Haspil have zero professional integrity. You cannot reason with them about the law or the facts. They don't care. I spent a lot of time trying and they never meaningfully responded. Trying to reason with them is like trying to reason with a brick wall.  Nobody should say that the method I am using is wrong because I should have reasoned with them. I tried for well over a year. The same applies to their supervisors in Austin. There is no professional integrity whatsoever.

Further, they are simply abusive. As just a few examples, they claim I didn't follow rules, but they wouldn't identify any rule I violated. They claimed I didn't tell the truth about something but they would say what. They claimed I caused unnecessary expense but they wouldn't explain how. Each of these positions was 100% opposite the truth. The opposition attorneys butchered the rules, caused immense unnecessary expense, and lied repeatedly (in very offensive and hurtful ways). The bar sent stacks of documents with no pertinence whatsoever. In one instance, they sent a stack of ancient child support modification orders, citations, etc. having not significance whatsoever while refusing to produce anything pertinent or give good faith answers to interrogatories. The bar as represented by James Ehler and Marie Haspil are the worst of the legal profession.

There is nothing that was going to be accomplished through the bar. The bar acting through James Ehler and Marie Haspil is thoroughly corrupt and abusive. Marie Haspil effectively became co counsel with opposing counsel Lanette Joubert making the same utterly frivolous arguments during the entire pretrial time period. Just two days before trial, Marie Haspil demands to know why I believed my client instead of Lanette Joubert. This was obviously designed to disrupt trial preparation but further it was corrupt. A lawyer is supposed to believe his client, and this client particularly deserved to be  believed. It was total and absolute corruption for the bar to attempt to intimidate a lawyer into disbelieving his own client. This was particularly absurd given the fact that Lanette Joubert was demonstrably dishonest (she had been caught telling a whopper of a lie) and the client's position was the same as the fathers even Joubert's (her position flip flopped but her position was the same as my client most of the time). Of course, the client ended up being right. The bar is corrupt when it takes sides in litigation threatening a lawyer for believing his own client. This type of behavior is simply not acceptable.

The Judicial Conduct Commission of course had no problem with Judge Adams abusing this woman and her lawyer with obviously corrupt rulings even after it came out that he had a massive conflict of interest and even after it came out that he sent a text message to his ex wife the same day he signed his corrupt orders tellng massive lies about me. He  not only accepted the unsubstantiated lie not supported by any evidence that I was sexually involved with my client but inferred therefrom that I was physically dangerous, etc. It just goes on and on. The bar was right in the middle of all this corruption, and there is substantial reason to believe it was part of the conspiracy from the start. Specifically, Judge Adams' text message tends to indicate that.

The point is that there is no remedy with the bar and there is no remedy with the Judicial Conduct Commission. If they did there jobs, which they clearly don't, these issues could be resolved "through channels" but since they don't do their jobs, the only source of remedy is appeal to the public.  These postings are just preliminaries. I am trying to get the story told immediately to protect the public from further abuses by these corrupt lawyers and the corrupt bar. The corrupt lawyers are probably "giddy" with their success at using the corrupt bar to destroy their opposition and there will be more victims. I suspect few lawyers will even fill safe in representing their clients against the abuses of these corrupt lawyers because they know what the corrupt bar does.

Now, it is true that there was real signs of hope in the litigation process. The judge in the slander case filed against Judge William Adams was acting fairly.  The judges in the grievances proceedings were acting fairly. The judge in the Bill of Review proceeding was acting fairly.  I am saying that the bar as represented by Marie Haspil and James Ehler is totally corrupt, and I am saying the Judicial Conduct Commission is useless.  I am saying Judge William Adams is totally corrupt. I am not saying all judges are corrupt. I do have a complaint against the Thirteenth Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court but I will leave that alone for the moment. The fact is though that was so worn down financially and otherwise by nearly 2 years of abuse by these lawyers  and the bar (12 years if the Stanley Rains case is included) that I lost my ability to function. I also lost all my financial ability to litigate. I think I could have prevailed in the litigation if I had the resources. I didn't have the resources. I could barely get out of bed for a long time, and I am only slowly recovering. I have to fight back in the only way I can. Again, this is not for me, though, this is for the public. I cannot tolerate this kind of corruption particularly when it comes to children. The evil is just too great. I will not stand silent. I don't give a flip about whatever the bar can do to me in the future. I am going to tell the truth.  The only thing necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

Part of the truth will be told in these internet postings and ultimately a more complete statement of the truth will be told in a book. What do I expect? At the very least, I can start a ripple, and this is enough. It is better than standing silent in the face of evil.
