Attorney Accountability
My girlfriend was an abused housewife, years prior to her separation she had sought marriage and mental health counseling. I have been assaulted by the police twice, one time they were trespassing on a dark night, we thought that they were the abusive husband seeking to assault my girlfriend again. The second time we were in a CVS pharmacy that had camera's throughout the store, we were returning from the Emergency Room because my girlfriend had a reaction to medication that was being used to treat severe anxiety and depression.
We were also persecuted by an attorney because the stress caused by the stalking, assaults, threats and courts caused my girlfriend to hemmorage and have an abortion. We became murderers.
With all the material available counselors, cameras, documents, police reports the attorneys retained did not use this material, in several cases they actively avoided it and we also have a case of attorney desertion.
The Virginia State Bar claims that they do not address "strategy" complaints, this we discovered when our attorney deserted in 2000. The Bar had changed its policies so that they could avoid accountability for its members. We became the "evil" people with "sour grapes", the demand for proof of our crimes falls on deaf ears.
This avoidance to address, the damaged position that we the client was put in made it untenable to attempt a civil suit/writ that the Bar claims would regulate its members. It also claims a diligent membership, this is without foundation.
Imagine if a client had actual leverage over the "professional" they retained, that their compliants would be documented and merit of the complaint rated so that others could make informed decisions. I am sure that a woman that is abused would want an attorney that would provide Social Services, marriage, mental health counselors and supporting documents to the courts. I am sure a victim of a police assault would want an attorney that would at least review the video evidence and question why the police did not obtain this material to support their position.
