Do any of you remember that publishing scam that used to makes its way to peoples' homes by mail. It went like this!
"Congratulations! You have been chosen among one hundred leading writers in the U. S. of A. to publish your poetry in the amazing 'Compendium of Outstanding Poets' for this year. If you will submit your $75.00 along with your poem to the following address so that you can receive a copy of the Compendium, you will see your poem published side by side with America's greatest poets!"
Of course, by the time you received a copy of the Compendium you find out that hundreds of other poets received the same letter. "Congratulations! You have been chosen!" Hurray, Hurray!
This is what appears to be going on when it comes to these awards attorneys keep on handing out to one another.
One such big scam is the "Super Lawyer" scam. Our friend, Attorney James T. Flaherty is a super lawyer, and I am afraid to check who else is.
Anyway, it seems that the CT Law Tribune runs a similar type scam!
Congratulations, you have been chosen as a New Leader in the Law! Send your tax free contribution to the following address! Ok, nothing specific like that is out there, but you have to wonder.
Ok, I'm not wondering--I know this CT Law Tribune award is nonsense--but you guys reading this might not be so aware of it.
Anyway, I have other blogs on this website talking about Attorney James T. Flaherty and his associates Attorney Sandi Girolomo and Attorney Pam Magnano, the latter recently celebrated in the CT Law Tribune, and there is no way that Attorney Magnano is leading anything--new or otherwise.
In fact, let me warn you to stay away from these attorneys because they will take all your money and leave you stranded with nothing.
If you look it up, this firm has two outstanding malpractice claims against them at the present time, and in the past other claims against them were settled out of court.
The CT Law Tribune seems to be the big apologist for crooked attorney scams.
Specifically, among other things, James T. Flaherty's firm has made a practice of running up enormous attorney fees and then taking former clients to civil court for collection and then foreclosing on their homes. Attorney Pamela Magnano has been closely involved with these activities.
A few years ago, the CT Law Tribune wrote an article seeking to justify that kind of behavior.
When I personally called the Tribune and gave them further information showing how fraudulent Flaherty's business practices were, the editor told me to send it to him by email which I did. But the editor never responded to my follow up communications regarding the matter or informed readers about what was really going on.
So The CT Law Tribune is not exactly a credible organization to listen to when it comes to its reports on the quality of local attorneys.
