From 2017 to 2018, Brian Dumas refused to communicate with my attorney.  During this time, Brian Dumas additionally held court hearings and acquired court orders without me, my attorney, nor any representative of mine present.  

Brian Dumas has unleashed a fury of malicious prosecution, frivolous lawsuits, vexatious litigation, abuse of process, and WICP wrongful institution of civil proceedings against my family.  Whereby, Brook and Brian Dumas, have used all of said abuse of process to continue unlawful custody of my children and continue to steal millions of dollars they shouldn't have had in the first place.  Whereby in them, Brian Dumas has claimed that I wasn't paying for amounts as required by law:

·         I did not pay my family's medical expenses

·         I did not pay my family's support payments

·         I did not pay my family's insurance expenses

·         I did not pay my family's tax expenses

·         I did not pay for my family's healthcare coverage

·         I did not contest my divorce, which I had for five years, seven years to date, and is currently on appeal

·          I did not conduct counseling and therapy for myself or my family.

All of these false reports to the court were indeed false.  They were false at the time they were made.  They were known to be false at the time they were made by the individuals who claimed them, i.e. Brook and Brian Dumas.  And it took hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorney fees to continue to pay in court that they were indeed false, against their false claims.  And every one of them were dismissed on their own merits, with prejudiced.     

In addition to Brian Dumas’ malicious prosecution, frivolous lawsuits, abuse of process, WICP wrongful institution of civil proceedings, and false reports against my family as stated above, Brian Dumas has been involved in numerous other schemes whereby Brian Dumas is conspiring to threaten, harass, and intimidate my family.  I say Mr. Dumas’ actions go beyond harassment and threatening as they have physical consequences of assault, theft, financial crimes, and continued arrest and harassment by law enforcement at his hands.

Plaintiff / Myself / Father demands an order against Defendant / Brook / Mother and Defendant’s Attorney / Brian Dumas to be ordered to immediately pay Plaintiff all legal expenses, all medical expenses, loss of income, losses due to pain and suffering, losses due to damage to family, losses due to damage to reputation, losses due to damage to safety, and losses due to damage to security.   
Brian Dumas instructed Kershaw County employees and clients to violate laws and disobey court orders by:

·         filing false reports with law enforcement      

·         falsely instructing law enforcement to arrest myself and my family members         

·         that I falsely am not the Father of my children John Danko IV, Dovie JoAnn Danko, and Henry Attila Danko

·         that I falsely have no parental rights of John Danko IV, Dovie JoAnn Danko, and Henry Attila Danko

·         to falsely not allow myself and my family on any property owned by the Kershaw County School District through the issue of Trespass Notice

·         to falsely instruct all employees of the Kershaw County School District not to communicate with myself, any of my family members, nor any representative of mine by telephone, email, or by any form of communication whatsoever

·         to falsely instruct all employees of the Kershaw County School District not to allow myself, any of my family members, nor any representative of mine to be able to communicate in person at any property where any Kershaw County School District employee worked

·         to falsely instruct all employees of the Kershaw County School District not to give myself, any of my family members, nor any representative of mine report cards, online access to his children’s school portals, attendance records, communication with his children’s teachers on his children’s progress in schools, information on events in his children’s schools, etc.          

Furthermore, Brian Dumas made false reports to courts of law stating that myself and my family members fled the scene of a crime. 

Brian Dumas has issued subpoenas to my healthcare providers falsely stating that he had provided these subpoenas to my attorney as required by law, to which he had not, as evidenced by my attorneys testimony.  This action is in direct violation of healthcare laws and privacy laws.         

In November 2018, Brian Dumas sought out and personally met my attorney Dayne Phillips.  Brian Dumas asked Dayne Phillips for information about myself, knowing that Dayne Phillips represented me as my attorney.  Dayne Phillips replied that he represented me as my attorney, and as such he in no way could share any information about me with Brian Dumas, and to do so would not only be unethical, professional misconduct, but it would be a breach of attorney-client privilege.  Dayne Phillips then reported this unethical behavior.  I reported this complaint and added it, to our existing file against Brian Dumas Case # 19-DE-L-0235, with the rest of the complaints and investigation against Brian Dumas.  This information is shown in Exhibit O.  Dayne Phillips may be contacted to confirm this information and evidence.  Electronic copies, records, and complaints against Brian Dumas have been filed with the South Carolina Office on Lawyer Conduct.

Brian Dumas’ actions in hiring security companies, private detectives, private investigators, off duty law enforcement, security forces, and other similar types for use against my family is a gross over use of force against my family.  It is reckless and irresponsible.  He has caused grave harm and physical injuries to both myself and my family members.  What Brian Dumas is doing is well outside the law, outside ethical bounds, and outside of professional bounds.  

Brian Dumas is also conspiring with other attorneys to file lawsuits and further litigation against myself and my family members.  He is using criminal actions to attack me and my family members. 

You will find convictions for perjury, fraud, false statements, sanctions, and contempt of court in Exhibit O.  Brian Dumas is also using civil actions to attack me and my family members.  This also is uncalled for outside the bounds of what should be important for this case, which is the children.  Please share with the court, the matters involving the civil attorneys.

Brian Dumas and his family have federal, state, and local tax liens, civil judgments, bankruptcies, evictions, DUI driving under the influence, DUS driving under suspension, assault and battery, possession of drugs, unlawful carrying of weapons, malicious to real property, reckless driving, burglary, grand larceny, open container, failure to stop for blue lights, disorderly conduct, noise violation, domestic violence, disorderly conduct, false identification, obstruction of justice, forcible entry, criminal conspiracy, possession of drug paraphernalia, grand larceny, dealers record violations; bankruptcies, receiving stolen goods, foreclosure, fraud, perjury, false statements, criminal conspiracy, assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, contraband substance possessed no prescription, and many more.  Excerpts of these crimes are shown in Exhibit O.  The full content of Exhibit O may be found in its entirety in Exhibit P.

Brian Dumas has continuously and without end disobeyed South Carolina Appellate Court Rules SCACR, Rule 407 Rules of Professional Conduct RPC and Rule 413 Rules for Lawyer Disciplinary Enforcement RLDE of the Supreme Court of South Carolina.  Those who have judged him at the South Carolina Supreme Court, and his fellow attorney peers, have found him accordingly so, guilty bringing the legal profession into disrepute, and adversely reflecting upon his companion South Carolina attorneys who discharge their duties honestly, in opposite fashion to himself.  Brian Dumas has found himself to be a man below moral character and low ethical standards, not fit for the duty of a lawyer of South Carolina.  For this reason, Brian Dumas should be sanctioned again with disbarment.

Brian Dumas’ victims include so many more casualties.  His latest wounded now include James Reynolds Danko, John Danko Jr, Deborah Reynolds Danko, John Danko III, Angela Nicole Danko, Melissa Danko Trombley, James Brad Reynolds, Carol Danko Meyers, Thomas Meyers, Michelle Myers, Greg Westfall, Sheryl Westfall, Dana Nappi, Phillip Nappi, Thomas Pagel, Paula Pagel, Lora Pagel, Brett Obenauf, and Carrie Obenauf.  This is in addition to his past victims of Tana Hutto, James Duoucette, Bambi Jo Flynt, John Preacher, James Daniels, Aubrey Gilmore, Elizabeth Pilot, Seth G. Niles, Raymond Bovain Jr, Willor Dean Bovain, Tara Cook, and so many more that Brian Dumas has injured across the State of South Carolina and elsewhere, and too many which haven’t been included, haven’t been recognized, and haven’t had their stories told.  Please stop Brian Dumas from injuring any more innocents.  Please remove his power to harm and injure innocent citizens by stripping him of the power he wields with his law license.
