Complaint Review: David Bamberger foul mouth curses adversary - New York New York

I am a litigator, Harvard JD, Class of 1982.  In 35+ years of practice (through 11/2017), I have a completely unblemished ethical record.

In 2014, I began to represent a noted wine writer, Hariet Lemeck, in multiple lawsuits filed against her by another noted wine writer, Philip Seldon.  Philip brought a total of four lawsuits against Harriet.  I obtained dismissals of each of them, mostly by winning motions to dismiss in Court.  Philip's MO was to try to extract a cash settlement from me, then, when I rejected his demands, file an anonymous report on me on Ripoff-report.com as "punishment."  This is one of the reports Philip filed on me.  There are numerous others, all written and posted by Seldon.

There is no effective, or at least cost-effective, way to eliminate these reports.  I sued Philip for libel in 2014 and 2015.  In a stipulated order entered 02/25/2016, Philip admitted each of  reports was false and defamatiory.  Bamberger v. Seldon, Sup. Ct. State of New York, New York County Index No. 156504/2014 (NYSCEF Doc. No. 120), so ordered by Justice Bannon.  If you wish a copy of the Stipulated Order containing 23 itemized and conceded libels, please contact me at [email protected].

Harriet knew Philip for more than 40 years prior to 2014.  Harriet got her start in wine writing thanks to Philip.  Years later, they were in major NYC wine societies together etc.  I am proud that Harriet never paid Philip one red cent to settle any of the frivolous cases he filed against her.  I can't say I am especially proud to have my good name dragged through the mud like this, but such is the "price" of being a litgator in a big city.  It's not all glory, that's for sure, and sometimes the nuts are going to get you.  During his colorful lifetime, Philip brought I believe more than 110 lawsuits in New York alone.  He brought countless other lawsuits in other cities, a "vexatious litigator" to be sure, and adjudged to be one, most recently by Justice Paul Wooten, in a decision affirmed by the Appellate Division, First Department.  Seldon v. Lewis Brisbois, 116 A.D. 3d 490 (2014) ("Further, given plaintiff's history of vexatious litigation, the court properly required [Seldon] to obtain court approval before filing or serving any litigation papers in this matter against defendants and their privies").        

In the week prior to his passing, I drove up to see Philip on his deathbed.  We "reconciled," even had a laugh or two.  What a character!  Sorry to have subjected you to this, but now you know the story behind these multiple, weird, "rip-off reports" on me.  David E. Bamberger      

As an accomplished attorney, having completed Depositions with clever Pro Se Attorney Philip Seldon, it became evident that Seldon did not possess any litigation depth as found within David Bamberger, a brilliant attorney. Philip Seldon being labeled a nortorious vexatios litigator by Justice Wooten in the Supreme Court of New York State, while attempting to litigate monies away from businesses, lawyers, doctors, and unsuspecting peoples. All Philip Seldon's case filings parallel the same forensic methods of operandi, litigates Default Judgements, serves intimidating Demand Letters for an out-of-court settlement, and attempts profits being a Pro Se non-attorney. Philip Seldon never passed the NY State BAR Exam, was never accepted to any Law School, and never passed the LSAT. Seldon cutely sprinkles into all legal cases, personal medical deficiencies claiming damages of medical pain and suffering, including medical defincies such as Tourette's Syndrome. Multiple Justices for many years suffered Seldon's abusive Court tactics, Justice Recusal Motions, and contested case submissions to NY State Appeals Court. Seldon proudly earned the label in New York State Courts as a Veatious Litigator. After being acquainted with David Bamberger for many years, it's clealy only a matter of time until Vexatious Litigator Philip Seldon finally shipwrecks as a Pro Se Attorney. NY State Supreme Court Justices will once again ORDER Seldon to wash up in a jail cell on Rikers Island. After that, career Pro Se Attorney Philip Seldon will be writing legal briefs sitting in a jail cell. David Bamberger professionally guarantees Philip Seldon to experience a legal shark bite. No puppy Pro Se bites come from Sir David Bamberger.

David Bamberger's a scholar, gentleman, an undisputed precise and compitent attorney. I've never known him to use profanity during the course of business. I've only seen David Bamberger use profanity a few times over the past years. Profanity seemed usually directed towards suspicious individuals well deserving of strong communication directives.
