Complaint Review: Pullman & Comley LLC

In 2013, I made the unfortunate mistake of hiring Pullman & Comley. Bridgeport Attorneys James T. Shearin, Collin P. Baron, and Alan J. Sobol worked on the case. Sobol basically pretended to be actively fighting the case for me, when he was really working against me behind my back. I have a letter sent to me by Sobol and Pullman & Comley that indicates that he negotiated with the prosecutor to have my legal defense fund removed. How and why would the prosecutor and defense counsel feel the need to negotiate the removal of a client’s legal defense fund? Sobol’s involvement in the removal of any client’s legal fund is unethical. It is well known that Pullman & Comley does establish legal defense funds

for other clients such as Dr. Charles Ray Jones, documented as a public fundraising effort established by Pullman & Comley. “HOW TO DONATE TO THE LEGAL DEFENSE FUND: Make Donations payable to: "Pullman & Comley Trust Account-for Dr. Charles Jones" Elliott B. Pollack, c/o Pullman & Comley, LLC, 90 State House Square, Hartford, CT 06103-3702.” Why would Pullman & Comley set up legal defense funds for some clients and then remove legal defense funds for other clients? The actions of Pullman & Comley and Alan J. Sobol are unethical because all clients should be treated equally. During the 2-year period I was slammed with approximately $40,000 in fees charged by Pullman & Comley and Alan J.

Sobol. The $40,000 in funds were effectively scammed by Pullman & Comley, due to the conflict of interest that they failed to disclose. The conflict of interest was present due to the fact that Pullman & Comley had already represented the “My Sandy Hook Family Fund” a fundraiser managed by Pullman & Comley to solicit donations for one the parties on the other side of the case. After being provided no evidence of the accusations and considering the mounting legal fees, I requested, in writing, that Sobol provide me with a copy of the police report. Sobol, in writing, refused to provide it, which is very suspicious because Sobol supposedly had no problem with that report being given to the press. I later found out

that the police report was actually being withheld because the report would reveal that charges were being fabricated against me with the assistance of Alan J. Sobol and Pullman & Comley. Alan J. Sobol and Pullman & Comley engaged in fraud by hiding critical documents from their client's access, such as law enforcement reports that would be required to be provided to a client under the CT Judicial Branch Practice Book. I feel that Alan J. Sobol only became involved in this case to invade my privacy and to prosecute me from within his position as the defense attorney. Sobol’s lies and false information filed adversely affected me and effectively denied me the Constitutional right to due process. Pullman &

Comley’s faulty representation prevented an honest legal defense, due process, and justice. Sobol purposely provided false information and incorrect legal advice to his client, to illegally lure his client over state lines to a consultation meeting, which resulted in arrest, and has since developed into a catastrophe. This facilitated attorney Sobol’s scheme to secure about $40,000 in fees while withholding crucial police reports from me for an extended period of time, so that things would appear to be going smoothly. In 2015 I fired Pullman & Comley, but I had already been scammed out of approximately $40,000 in unnecessary legal fees. Anyone considering hiring an attorney should take this as a warning and prevent Pullman & Comley and crooked attorneys like Alan J. Sobol from taking advantage of you.
