    Donald Philip Veitch Legal malfeasance? Disbarrments?

    If the accusations in the complaint are true--and until that case is tried, or some sort of compelling evidence appears pro or con, we cannot assume either that they are or that they are not true--then we're dealing with, on the part of TBN..., embezzlement, larceny, tax fraud and possibly securities fraud. The one lawyer obviously, if the accusations are true (good reason for a lawyer always to keep the door between his office and the secretary's open), committed an indecent sexual assault. By counseling her not to say anything, the lawyers were accessories after the fact to the illegal dealings of TBN. Their conflicts of interest were, if the allegations are true, the worst I've seen since Hillary's during Whitewater (she represented the developer, the seller, the bank, and the state regulatory agency at the same time!)See More

    The one thing most likely to be proved is the conflicts of interest; those can probably be established pretty easily. Now, if there's a history of conflicts of interest at that firm, there could be disbarments; if not, probably a reprimand.... If the accusations of the sexual overtures are true, again, if they were the first time such a complaint has surfaced about such a thing, he'd probably face either a reprimand or a suspension from the bar; if this has happened before, he may be looking at disbarment. If he's convicted in a criminal court of indecent sexual assault, then he'll be disbarred. If a court finds that the firm pressured her not to do anything, and they're prosecuted and convicted as accessories after the fact to illegal stuff, that's probably the stuff of disbarments. Convictions on any of those charges in a criminal court is jail time. If I'm the defense counsel in this case, my first question is going to be, "So why didn't you go to the DA/county prosecutor with this?" If she doesn't have a good answer, he will beat the hell out of her in front of a jury that she's just trying to cash in.

    This case will probably settle and go away. If it settles for less than perhaps $50,000, that means the accusations are probably not true and they're just giving her money to leave them alone and save defense costs. If it settles for more... than perhaps $100,000, the accusations have some meat to them, but the plaintiff might have some problems of proof that induce her to let the case go for less than it might be worth. If it settles for over about $250,000, the charges are almost certainly true, and they're cutting their losses.See More

    Donald Philip Veitch XXXX, exactly my instincts, to wit, "Why did she not, if in fact she didn't, go to the District Attorney? Or, a State Attorney General?" It looked like she wants a jury trial. I'm wondering if this initiates a wider inquiry? I get the sense that there's money in this and is a financial shakedown. Thanks, good insights.
