Complaint Review: Aaron M. Rasmussen

a couple of years ago, i hired jeremy benson attorney. of then "Benson and Rasmussen "  to defend me in a court case. He interviewed well and i paid him $5000 to retain his services. we discussed things and made plans.  as time went on, he flaked out on us for a couple of meetings, and then after a few of those continuances had passed , he dropped out of communication altogether.  and i had serious court stuff to deal with.

so his at the time  associate Aaron Rasmussen  apologized for Jeremies drop of communication ,and excused his associates behavior based on a family illness. but the receptionist said jeremy had been hospitalized.  i knew somebody was being deceitful right then.  but  Aaron Rasmussen , offered to  handle my case and if it went to trial he wouldnt charge us anymore to make up for jeremies conduct.

  it turns out, to make the story short,  that jeremy was  being investigated at that time for misconduct unknown to me, but had then been  immediately  afterwards been put on disciplinary suspension by the WSBA . so it was jeremy keeping this ultimate truth hidden from me,  as well as Aaron Rasmussen, trying to minimize the damage control from his associates misconduct.   this time  where jeremy drops communication with me is also the same time where Aaron and jeremy are separating their business partnership.

 so , both these men colluded to conceal this trouble from me, and wasting months of my time and several continuances.   this type of behavior is strictly prohibitted under the "model rules of attorney conduct" .

 Aaron Rasmussen should have explained to us the truth about jeremy or jeremy should have done it , they should have apologizes and given us our money back.

 not to mention i know that Aaron Rasmussen is a crook attorney, he is lazy , poor at debate, not intelligent, he seemed more interested in keeping up apearances in the court room ,and less on the substance with which to argue.  and  the prosecutor was Tim Rasmussen. sketchy eh ?  as well  he failed to use alot of relevant evidence i provided to him,  poorly interviewed my witnesses, like he forgot his question list or something, he never subpeona'd them, they came in on there own.  he was supposed to subpeona them.  he kept trying to use fear tactics to  intimidate me to take a plea deal over and over and over again.   

 Aaron Rasmussen is busted for being  dishonest to his clients and trial rigging to support the demographics for his uncles prosecutors office.

 jeremy benson is currently under disciplinary suspension and is being investigate by the WSBA.
