The corrupt justice system has also screwed the lawyers don't forget. So much time is wasted that it's hard to get everything done so you fall behind. Everyone loses with a corrupt system of justice.
ReplyDeleteI made a similar complaint in NY, where the attorney refused to return the retainer in addition to not return calls or making any communications and the Grievance Committee wrote back that this was acceptable to them, even though the attorney did no work after receiving the retainer. NY will learn only when the media reports.
ReplyDeleteok reporting about my suffolk county ny divorce. Filed in 2000. Hon. Judge William Kent. Suffolk Supreme Court Central Islip.
ReplyDeleteFirst attorney recommended by Tom Spota before he became dist. atty. Jim O'Rourke from Spota's law practice. Opposing attorney was William H.Sweeney Hauppauge NY.
at that time. I had no clue that my husband was descretely involved with the entire county in financial crimes.
I lost everything was verbally abused to the point of tears by the Honorable Judge Kent numerous times.
Later on I found out about the fraud on my own.When I bought a home by myself in 2002. I found my exs handwriting on my deed & mortgage papers. All of them. Aprox 10 of them. He signed my name. I signed none.
Began to cross ref. the judges attorneys etc. That I went before. All of them had many sub prime mortgages. All had satisfactions that coincided with my court dates. It was then that I discovered the judges were allowing my ex Mike Figat. To answer and file all of my court filings. His handwriting on Family Coirt Orders, Deeds, mortgages, Signed for Judge Kent,McNulty, Rodriguez, Molia,Wilmott. Same with the lawyers, cops.
Somebody get me in contact with 60 minutes. I know the whole truth.Documents too.
This headline that NY could learn from NH is sick, you may want to wake up and smeel the stink you are all eating if you entertain such hypocrisy. The judiciary in nh is controled by the executive agenda to build the worst kind of collusion and liars possible,you want some representation, dont pusy foot around get the facts,or get the hell of the internet and stick to drinking your koolaid 603-965-4067 things are not how they appear in good ol NH

ReplyDeleteLong Island lawyer helps judge swap one wife for another
On April 15, 2014, attorney Curtis R. Exum, Esq., from Hauppauge, appeared in NYS Supreme Court in Central Islip, NY, to ask Judge William J. Kent III, to remove the wife of former Huntington Town Council Member, Stuart P. Besen, from her home located at 77 Stoothoff Road, in East Northport, NY
Exum told the Court that he was the duly appointed receiver in the Besen v. Besen action, under Index No: 31199/2011.
Exum told the Court that Margaret Besen "must be removed from the marital residence" before he could list and sell the property.
The home in question was listed, on multiple, with Lighthouse Realty Group, Inc., in Selden, NY when Exum made his request.
A witness to the days proceeding said, "Margaret Besen appeared in Court to answer Exum's motion."
The witness said, "Margaret told Judge Kent that Exum failed to file his required oath."
The witness said, "Margaret told Judge Kent that she didn't understand why Exum had to remove her from her home, or why the realtors had to be changed to sell her property."
The witness said, "Judge Kent made the motion returnable on April 29, 2014 and told Margaret you can show
up, or not, you can answer, or not."
On Friday the 18th of April, Margaret met with attorney Arthur v. Graseck, Esq., from Oakdale, NY, at the Cohalan Courthouse in Central Islip, NY
Graseck checked the papers filed by Exum, as well as the clerk's minutes of the case file.
A copy of Exum's duly executed receiver's oath could not be found.
Margaret told Graseck that Exum has since made Lighthouse Realty remove their listing by saying that the Judge ordered it removed.
Graseck asked Margaret to call Lighthouse Realty and get the agent on the phone.
Lighthouse Realty confirmed what Graseck suspected. There was no order to remove the listing.
Graseck told Lighthouse to restore the listing at least until Exum filed his oath.
When Lighthouse realized that they were duped by Exum, they tried to honor their contractual obligation by re-instating the listing. Lighthouse Realty's attempt failed when it was discovered that another realtor already had the listing.
On April 22nd an email was sent which pictured the wife of NYS Supreme Court Justice William J. Kent, as the real estate agent for Margaret Besen's home. (See Attachments)
The listing agent pictured has since been changed but the broker with the business remains the same.
The motion, which will decide the fate of the wife, Margaret Besen, is scheduled to be heard by Judge William J. Kent, at the Cohalan Courthouse in Central Islip, NY, on April 29, 2014.
