One of the people that responded to my earlier
thread, "lawyer forged our signatures," asked for an update
when we had one. The lawyer was supposed to have been
deposed by the OK state Bar association this week. I was
told in writing by the bar that I was not allowed to be at
the deposition. When I double checked on this the bar got
testy with me and changed it's previous offer to send me a
copy of the transcripts to the statement they might send me
part of them. Also, the court records which we have
checked periodically did not show that the attorney had
removed himself as of late June or early July, the last
time we looked. All of a sudden, after we inquired about
the "motion to remove counsel," (a suggestion thankfully
given by the person who asked for the update), the lawyer
was removed, but the removal document is stamp dated for
May...hmmmmm...normally any changes in our case have show
up almost immediately. At any rate, we are now trying to
find out if his removal also removes his "attorneys lien"
which the lawyer we may hire now said we have to get off
there or he can't help us. I still find it incredible and
sad that I had to get legal info from a message board when
we were paying and consulting locally for legal help, and
it was not given. Not ONE lawyer here knew or would tell
us how to remove this joker from our case after he
committed forgery. If the lawyer who forged my husbands
and my signatures is not punished for this I will certainly
have no faith that our state holds the legal profession
accountable in any way.
