Santa Ana Federal Court Judge Albert denies and Disgorges fees from the Law Office of Shulman, Bastian & Hodges. The Judge cited he wanted to send a clear message to the public and legal community for work billed that had no value for the BK reorganization. The consensus from the US Trustee and Trustee along with witness statements that concluded that SBH had fundamentally blotched the estate. The Fees disallowed by Judge Albert was excessive of $216,000. What was most appaling as a cleint was the discovery that SBH placed its own interrest ahead of its client to do the right things and own its mistakes. For months they had kept me from finding that their incompetence and potential Malpractice, and major violations with the court were the catalyst for losing DIP status. Its incredibile to think that Len Shulman and Mark Bradshaw were perfectly fine with the quaility of work that nearly cost me over $3,000,000 in lifetime of savings and sat silently while the court Appointed Trustee tried to quickly liquidate my properties. Im grateful that Judge Albert relaized that ethics and the rules are more important than the repution a Law firm and that evidence is the corner stone of our legal system in America.
