About Me


I am a licensed attorney who’s tired of reading about the unethical conduct and actions of attorneys, including Alberto Gonzales, Kyle Sampson, Monica Goodling, Hans von Spakosky, Ted Stevens, Lisa Murkowski and many others, who work in and for our government. News accounts of their actions in the US Attorney firings, the voter fraud matters, the Alaskan bribery and land deals and other matters present instance after instance of ethical lapses that range from violations of laws to conflicts of interest. To my knowledge, there is no organized effort to address these violations as grievable offenses. The Grievance Project is my effort to do exactly that.

My working list of attorneys whose conduct potentially violate their respective bars’ rules of professional conduct includes more than seventy-five (75) ninety-five (95) names. As time permits, I will continue to vet these attorneys and add posts for each attorney who I believe is committing grievable violations of their ethical obligations. I would appreciate any assistance you can give to the Project, including suggestions, critiques or publicity.

Contact me: GrievanceProject (at) gmail (dot) com

Because ethics matter.

    Gene’O sent me.

    Great work and I intend to read a bit!

    http://buelahman.wordpress.com/

    Albeit that today is Freaky Sex Friday, the first post is a humorous one, but the actual intent of my blog is to draw southern people’s attention to the differing illegal activities of the government (particularly the neocon cabal now operating) and desperately trying to wake up rednecks (like me) who have been brainwashed by their lies and fear tactics.

    But I try to have a little fun, as well.

    Buelahman,

    Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment. As you get a chance to read some more, I would appreciate your comments, suggestions and critiques.

    As for having fun, this blog is not conducive to having fun. Quite literally, I am asking that these attorneys have their license to practice law taken from them and that their professional career be destroyed. For some ‘fun’ regarding these issues, though, check out the ‘movie posters’ that Nonnie creates and posts at Hysterical Raisins (in my blogroll on the right).

    Hope to see you around here, your site, and elsewhere.

    E.M.

    Your site and reporting is clearly more legal than anything I could say… I truly appreciate the moral outrage against lawyer trained but more Pavlovian reacting lawyers… good luck with your site

    These attorneys should be given the medal of honor, not hounded by your petty petty grievance. You are criminalizing politics. No attorney will feel safe to give forthcoming advice in the future. Forgive and forget. That’s the past. We need to come together in a bipartisan manner. It’s wasn’t anything. You’re making a mountain out of a molehill. Why be so divisive. Can we agree that you should not do this? Let’s move on.

      Forgive and forget what these low-life SOBs have done to our country? Have you lost your freaking mind? I don’t know & don’t care if your are the “real” Bill Kristol. You are an idiot of the first order.
      Might I suggest that you take your bi-partisanship and stick it where the sun don’t shine!?!

      These attorneys are the criminals. They should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

      Clearly politics means more to some people than democracy. If more of the guilty could be prosecuted for their crimes against democracy, then politics would be much more tolerable for the masses and our system would not be so corrupt.

    Bill Kristol? The real one? You’re so completely wrong, you could well be the real Bill Kristol.

    your petty petty grievance

    What’s petty about expecting an attorney to abide by his or her ethical obligations and to answer for their conduct when the violate these obligations?

    You are criminalizing politics.

    Grievance proceedings are civil, not criminal. proceedings.

    No attorney will feel safe to give forthcoming advice in the future.

    On what do you base this conclusion?

    Based on my training and experience, I disagree. More accurately, attorneys will not feel safe to give illegal and unethical advice in the future. And this is the intended and expected result.

    Forgive and forget. That’s the past. We need to come together in a bipartisan manner. It’s wasn’t anything. You’re making a mountain out of a molehill. Why be so divisive. Can we agree that you should not do this? Let’s move on.

    No. All conduct that has already taken place is in the past but consequences remain. No we don’t. It was. I’m not. No. No.

    whoa! bill kristol! has he become so marginalized that he has nothing better to do other than read blogs? :lol:

    hey, kristol! if you are reading this–i hope i am not being too petty, but you are nothing but a hack and a liar. shouldn’t you be somewhere rewriting history? go protect george w. bush instead of the constitution or the citizens of this country. you have blood on your hands. i hope you have nightmares every time you close your eyes. then again, that would take a conscience, something you lack.

    I just found your site. Beautiful work! This is the kind of work that will provide the foundation for the new media that finally informs the public to the degree that representative democracy will live up to our founding fathers’ hopes. Again beautiful work, thank you.

    That, basically, is the mission statement for The Grievance Project. A huge task for one anonymous, angry attorney, but comments like this make me believe that my ideas will continue to gain traction. A while back, I wrote here about my potential target audiences and how these various types of readers can assist:

    Welcome to readers of Left in Alabama and Pine Belt Progressive

    Thanks for the kind words and any help you may provide in spreading the word.
