Jason Benjamin Attorney At Law Jason Benjamin Attorney Falsifies Evidence, Lies to Judge, Sexually Harrasses Opposing Client, Has Sex with Clients, On Internet as NW "A" Man Lakewood Washington
Jason Benjamin handled my ex-wife's divorce. I was at the time a well known Seattle area Pediatrician. Mr. Benjamin encouraged my ex-wife to file false CPS reports against me, and invented charges against me that I was a drug addict, a child abuser and had a history of domestic violence. He presented absolutely no evidence to support any of this. My children were taken from my (at the time) sole custody on the strength of these unsubstantiated accusations, and first placed with my ex-wife, and then placed in foster care awaiting trial.
I have learned this is a common and outrageous ripoff. What he does is to file a lot of false accusations, which cause the other parent to lose custody of the children. Since cases don't go to trial for over a year, or two in my case, he then blackmails you, continues to smear your name and reputation, and there is nothing you can do about it because purjury is permitted in Pierce County Superior Court (there has not been a complaint or prosecution for purjury in Pierce County Superior Court in over 20 years). In my case, I fought back, and wish I didn't. Even though I "won", as all the charges against me were invented and false, I lost everything, my children, my reputation, my house, and all my money.
It took two years for the case to go to trial. Meanwhile, I wasn't permitted to see my children. I lost my job as a Pediatrician, in a great part because of the stresses of the case, losing my children, and also his accusations, which severely damaged my reputation. I was at the time paying my ex-wife $4000 a month in spousal support. When I lost my job, Mr. Benjamin then claimed I abandonned my job, even though I had proof I was forced out by my partners, in a great part because of the false accusations I was fighting. I could no longer pay my spousal support, so Mr. Benjamin three times attempted to have me put in jail.
The case then gets very very strange. I ran out of money, and had to fight on without an attorney. I went to Court time and time again, always losing. I would not stop to defend my reputation and to regain custody of my children.
Several times Mr. Benjamin blatantly lied to Superior Court Judges, and he personally committed purjury numerous times. He knowingly filed false financial reports on behalf of his client. He made statements to the Court about me that I was making $600,000 a year, when I actually was on a medical disability for severe liver disease and making $80,000 a year. He did not simply mischaracterize or make trivial false statements but actually lied to Judges and I was helpless to do anything about it.
I presented to the Court a list of over 20 direct lies that he made to the Court, not just statements from his client that he was passing along.
At this point, it became very ugly. I had written my step-daughter a card encouraging her as she was having some issues and was briefly hospitalized. Mr. Benjamin somehow got ahold of the card, altered it, and presented in Court, claiming that I was sexually propositioning my step-daughter.
I now had him "dead to rights", so I thought. I had the original of the card, and could prove he presented false evidence to the Court.
However, I was soon to learn that purjury in Pierce County Superior Court is not considered a crime. Although judges looked at my evidence, and rejected my ex-wife's motions based on the falsified evidence, they declined to do anything about it. I complained to the State Bar, and after a 10 month investigation, they stated that his conduct was simply zealous conduct on behalf of his client.
But wait, there is more! Mr. Benjamin was sexually involved with my ex-wife, even before our divorce. He even wanted to have three way sex with us! This was one of the reasons for our divorce, was that my -ex-wife was having an affair with Mr. Benjamin. He then became sexually obsessed with me. After I became my own attorney, he would tell me things in the Court Hallways such as that he would drop the false charges against me if only I would have sexual relations with him! I was at the time a middle aged overweight man, who had remarried and was completely monogamous and heterosexual!
The Courts again and again ignored or declined to act on even his most outrageous behavior. All he had to do was show up and say that I was a drug addict and had a history of violence (all unsubstantiated, all untrue) and the Judges again and again ignored his conduct, no matter how outrageous.
They ignored the fact that I was (and am) a prominent Pediatrician in the community, without a single malpractice claim against me, in the same practice with the same office staff for 20 years, without a single blemish on my reputation until Mr. Benjamin colluded with my ex-wife to file false charges against me. These falsehoods overnight destroyed my reputation, my income, and my family.
I have not seen my children in over three years. They were Court ordered to have reconciliation counseling with me, but of course, my ex-wife refuses to allow it. The Guardian at litem issued a report agreeing with me and exonerating me. The Financial Master involved filed a report agreeing with me and exonerating me. Mr. Benjamin lied to the Court, filed false evidence against me, knowingly, to blackmail me. He bizarrely sexually harrassed me. He is an admitted bi-sexual, and trolls the Internet for couples under the name "NW A-Man". That is how my ex-wife met him. I first met him, before my ex-wife filed for divorce, at a party doing cocaine in the bathroom.
He offered me some. I have never used drugs, and had no idea what sort of party this was before my ex-wife dragged me to it. I thought it ironic that he filed false charges against me for being a drug addict.
I believe that he lures couples to "sex parties" just to find clients and satisfy his own very sick sexual needs.
I have no idea how the Courts permit this. I heard again and again from Judges that Family Court is all about the kids, yet they took my children from me on the basis of false accusations, put them in foster care as their mother was un-fit, destroyed our family, our finances, and then when I won again and again finally in Court, did nothing to the attorney who created these abuses.
I did not file this report until I read the other Ripoff Report about him. I hope everyone who reads this will contact Ripoff Report and get in touch with me. I am more than willing to attach my name, and publicly tell everyone what happened to me, as it is all true and I can document it all. I have already complained to the Superior Court Judges, in open Court and in filed Court papers, as well as to the Washington State Bar. I lost my children and my reputation. I don't want this happening to other families. My ex-wife was destroyed financially by all this as well, as when I lost my job and income and health, she in turn lost her home and was financially destroyed.
When will this outrage end! Is there no justice in Pierce County Superior Court? Every Judge there knows about my case, and yet they do nothing.

This report is completely untrue. I am the ex-wife of the author of this report, and I can tell you that these acusations are not only false but the ramblings of a mentally disturbed person. Every accusation in this report is a lie. The courts required Melvin Morse to apologise and retract all statements regarding all of these false and disturbing accusations. This is on record in the Pierce County, WA Family Court. I did not know Mr. Benjamin prior to his taking my case, and I never went to any "sex" parties. I found him in the phone book when I was filing for divorce. This has been an elaborate attempt to not only discredit my attorney but to also frighten other attorneys from taking my case. Out of pure kindness and generosity Mr. Benjamin was able to get my child support that I so desperately needed. The idea that Mr. Benjamin would do any of the despicable things in this report is sick, and the act of a desperate man determined to not support his children, ruin my life, and anyone who attempts to assist me in getting my children's support. Mr Benjamin has a wonderful wife and a new baby. He is a good family man with strong character and morals, and has helped many women in my position who's husbands are nothing more then dead beat dads!

PSYCHOLOGICALLY DISTURBED OPPOSING PARTY FILES FALSE AND DEFAMATORY REPORT

I am an aggressive family law attorney who handles a large number of high conflict cases. As a result, I routinely see false and defamatory statements posted against me on the internet.
Because I am good at what I do and generally succeed on behalf of my clients and because I deal with many opposing parties who have histories of psychiatric illness, depression and drug abuse (which is often the root cause of their family law problem and often why he or she will lose in court), the type of statements posted by "Melvin" are all too common. Unfortunately, in my profession it is a cost of doing business.
There is no way to legally have these false and defamatory statements removed due to the Communications Decency Act discussed in much more detail by this website.
Disgruntled opposing parties have said even worse things about me on the internet. The good news is that it is all false. I do not consume any alcohol or drugs and am a very health conscious vegetarian. I certainly do not have sex with clients (whether current or former).
Melvin is a former pediatrician who was the spouse of an opposing party. I succeeded in procuring a very favorable settlement in her favor, alimony of $4000 per month for life, full custody of her children and an additional $1000 per month in child support. Melvin attempted every effort, legal and illegal, to get out of this settlement. He sued her with numerous frivolous lawsuits, filed bar complaints, threatened bankruptcy and finally abandoned his medical practice, moved to the State of Delaware and went on disability. I would gladly sue Melvin for defamation of character, but he is judgment proof. It would expend a lot of my time and effort for a worthless piece of paper and I refuse to play Melvin's games. I will not engage him in any fashion. I will state any time and any place under penalty of perjury that his allegations are 100% false. Melvin even agreed in open court last year that his allegations were baseless.
If anyone has any further questions about these issues, feel free to call me or the Washington State Bar Association. Melvin's false complaints were thrown out and dismissed by the bar association long ago.
I am proud of my record and I am proud of helping people like Melvin's former wife who needed significant legal help in dealing with an obviously difficult person such as him.
Respectfully, Jason Benjamin, Attorney at law
