ATTORNEY RENEE BAUER, AUTHOR OF OPINION PIECE ON GALS IN CT LAW TRIBUNE, IS A BIT OF A HOAX!

Divorce in Connecticut has recently discovered that Attorney Renee Bauer, author of an eloquent opinion piece on the trials and tribulations of GALs and the wickedness of parents, has turned out to be a bit of a hoax.  See link below:

In fact, it is not clear that she has worked that much as a GAL at all!

Not long ago, DIC received the following information:

 

"I took a look at each one of Attorney Renee Bauer's cases.  As an individual attorney, under her own juris number, Attorney Bauer has 74 cases listed.  She did not act as GAL in any of those cases.
 

Under Bauer Law Group's juris number there are 170 cases--5 of which are GAL cases.  However, there are 3 practitioners--two attorneys and one psychologist--in the Bauer Law Group and it is unclear whether Attorney Bauer took all 5 of these cases, or whether someone else in the practice took those cases, or whether it truly was handled as a group.

 

So this makes 5 GAL cases out of 204 cases associated with this attorney.

 

This is hardly an expert on GAL practice."

 

Of course, all the opinion pieces and articles coming out this week in advance of the Monday, March 24, 2014 hearing on the abuses and corruption of family court, and, in particular, that of GALs, seem a little desperate.  But dusting up Attorney Renee Bauer and shaking her in our faces when she has pretty much no experience as a GAL, that is particularly amusing, if not saddening.  Through Attorney Renee Bauer, the legal profession truly disgraces itself. 

 

On the more serious side, the general disrespect and the extremes of name calling and bullying that the CT Law Tribune has indulged in this week through its various mouthpieces are quite troubling in the light of the serious allegations that family court victims have reported on in the January 9, 2014 hearing and the further allegations of heartless exploitation and wrongdoing which we anticipate hearing more of next week.  

 

The foolish behavior of the CT Law Tribune and its supporters and spokespersons underscores more clearly for the thousands of victims of family court corruption and their supporters the reasons why we must have change. 

 

Situations where GALs are incentivizing conflict, submitting fraudulent bills, lying to the court, fabricating evidence, medically neglecting their wards, and denying fit parents access to their children must be stopped.  It is time for accountability, transparency, and effective advocacy for Connecticut's Citizens and their children.
