I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!! I just found out that my trusted attorney has lied to me, betrayed my trust, violated my rights, and scammed me out of a $2,000 retainer fee! My attorney had gone missing a few months back, then called at the end of August to say that he had been dealing with some serious personal issues, but was back in the saddle again. He said he was no longer partnered with the other attorney in my state, and was restricting his practice to his home state (immediately adjacent to mine), and that he wanted to continue to handle my personal affairs and cases against my family members, and southern doctors and T. Fine - I told him I completely understood and was glad he was okay.

I have not heard a word from him since then. He will not answer or return my calls, won't respond to my e-mails, won't answer my questions, won't send me the information and documents he has promised - and I still do not have a will, POA, etc., even though I gave him that $2,000 retainer almost a year ago. His website still shows him practicing out of offices in both states. So, I called his office in my state today - I *67'd to block caller id. I told his secretary that I was researching attorneys in my area and that he had been recommended by a good friend, but that my friend didn't know if he was still practicing in my state. His secretary was very nervous and evasive - wouldn't give me any information about him until I gave her a name. I gave her a fake name and acted rather insulted - she then told me that he works out of my state's office 2-3 days per week and out of his home state's office the rest of the time. I asked about areas of practice and fees and told her I would get back with them if I decided to hire him.

LIAR!! He knows that I cannot get medical treatment around here because of the mess my family members created for me with my southern doctors and T by providing false information regarding me to them all, deceiving and manipulating them all into betraying their ethics and my trust and violating my rights by allowing my family members to direct and control my medical care without my knowledge and consent and without ever requesting my medical records from up north until it was too late and I lost $80,000+ in long-term disability insurance benefits - and now he has done the VERY SAME THING!!!!! He has wasted so much precious time which puts my cases against my family members, doctors, and T in jeopardy due to statutes of limitation. I have shown all of these people more care, concern, compassion, and consideration than any of them have ever shown me, and given them all way more credit than they deserve!

WHAT IS IT WITH THESE PEOPLE???? HOW DO THEY MANAGE TO WALK THROUGH LIFE COMPLETELY DEVOID OF PRINCIPLES, ETHICS, AND CONSCIENCE?????

I have contacted the state bar association and will begin the preliminary steps which must be completed prior to filing a formal grievance.

I can't breathe - my heart murmur is in full overdrive - I'm numb and tingling all over ---------

THAT'S IT! I'M DONE!! NO MORE "NICE" LYNN!!!
