#1 Good. It was politically charged frivolous campaigning that was hurting good people.

#4 They know that the average American can't afford to go to Motions courts every couple of weeks, so they proffer five figure settlements, regardless of the merit of their original claims. Yah, they leverage something for nothing.

Vexatious purpose? They could drag out that issue for years. Bar associations are supposed to prevent violations of "profession ethics."

Solution? Legislative remedy requiring impartial and objective bar association investigations where a target claims bankruptcy harassment.

FYI motions (or chambers) hearings are conducted during daytime, Monday to Friday. So most targets have to seek time off work. Without reference to this mass derogation of procedural rights, a criminal organization could run a racket using similar tactics.

I once counted 42 chambers applications contested in a single case. Fees may vary, but these usually cost $500 to $1000 for court time, then there is affidavit fees, lawyars fees (sometimes for all parties), motions fees. Yah, trivial matters can incur several thousands in costs. Then there is interlocatory appeals, which could go to SCOTUS.

Your legislators need to know that there will be political costs if they permit quasi-extortion, in the name of justice.

You could fit the number of honest lawyers in a phone booth.

#5 Way too many occupations use the term 'profession' instead of accreditation. A real profession has an active mechanism of 'house cleaning' that has a discernible amount of turn-over and doesn't require outside prodding to act.

#6 Bar associations are supposed to prevent violations of "profession ethics."

They did. The intellectual property law industry didn't like being undercut by a law firm version of ValuJet.

#8 strip these bastards of their law license and bar them from practicing . Every cent I contributed to you Fred was to keep the site running. You did that. Even if we don't get our money back, I don't regret one bit of it
