It it involves money, it involves the Board. If it’s mere theft of documents from the court file, or total misrepresentation of the facts to the tribunal, well, the Judge can deal with that, they say. They are useless in enforcing any sort of moral, ethical misconduct of any sort. Since prosecutors don’t handle “client” money, they are essentially immune from scrutiny. This may sound unbelievable, but I assure you, it is the norm. I’ve dealt with it more times than I’d care to remember over the course of the last 30 years. Forged signatures on deeds? “Well, he denies that it’s forged and his secretary remembers witnessing it.” Really? What about the handwriting expert I hired who said, beyond any reasonable doubt that the signature is forged? Well, that was a copy of a signature, because the offending lawyer LOST THE ORIGINAL IN A FLOOD IN HIS BASEMENT. Really? Who keeps client files in flooded basements in their houses. How convenient is that?
