In spite of boxes of files I gave Horace to prove my cases, he was never working for me, my children, or my father's estate. He was in contact with my ex-husband, his wife, and I believe other relatives that were not heirs in my father's estate and helping them take my and my brother's inheritance.I believe he was also helping my ex-husband try and take custody of my children. He did not produce multiple documents I gave him concerning my visitation/custody case, did not allow me in the courtroom when he talked to the judge, put my children thru hell, would not let my children testify, would not get reimbursement owed to my family from my ex- husband as ordered by the court which amounted to over $50,000.00, would not inform the judge that my ex-husband had seldom, if never, provided health/dental/life insurance for his children as ordered in 1997, received a credit off his child-support since 1997 for insurance, would not collect his and other attorney fees from my ex-husband as promised and ordered by the court, would not get help with college for my children, would not get child support or insurance for my children during college, and was obviously NOT working for me or my children at all. He also would not prove the perjury of my ex-husband by documents I provided him, or present fraudulent, altered documents sent to court by my ex-husband and wife to the judge to prove that they were fraudulent, including an altered money order sent in by my ex-husband claiming he paid me $1500.00 for attorney fees. I do have the original money order which was for $100.00 to prove this document was fraudulent. I also have evidence to prove other documents sent to court were fraudulent. Horace almost had my children taken away by his dishonesty and helping the other side. He also did not require my ex-husband to produce financials as I had to do just as Jessica Kirk did not. He would not produce multiple documents to prove my case and the dishonest, illegal actions of others involved in my father's estate and had my father's estate assigned to a "master" against my objections, presence in court, and against my father's will and state law. He would not present my documents to prove my case to the "master" and allowed the "master," and others involved to steal property of my father's estate, steal property that belonged to me, and steal over $100,000.00 in funds owed to me from my father's estate. He did not file the final settlement as ordered by the judge in my father's estate and did not tell me this nor would he provide a copy as I requested. He then resigned from representing me shortly before the court hearing on the final settlement of my father's estate when I told him I wanted him to inform the judge what was going on as he promised or I wanted to release him.( My father's will states that I do not have to file an inventory, accounting, or final settlement with the courts) Horace, nor the "master", Dean Stein,informed me of the hearing of my uncles's estate which involved the illegal acquisition and sales of property of this estate which I was legal executrix of so that I could attend and advise the judge of this theft and other illegal actions of others. This estate was closed out without my knowledge, presence in court, or my approval as legal executrix and heir. I was never present at any hearings concerning this estate, not advised of hearings by Horace, nor was I served any papers by the local sheriff's office concerning these hearings. I have never signed a final settlement concerning this estate as legal executrix or an heir. there were many other unethical, illegal actions preformed by Horace and others involved to numerous to mention in this post. I lost most of my inheritance, property of my father's estate, funds I paid on my property that did not belong to my father's estate, and almost lost my children as a result of this and other dishonest, corrupt attorneys and others. I was accused of lying, stealing, being a unfit mother, and many other false allegations in order for these people to accomplish stealing my inheritance and property of my father's estate and property that belonged to me. Apparently, there is not a honest, decent attorney or other person in Alabama that will help my children and I or get justice for what most involved did to my family.

It has been discovered that property belonging to my father's estate was acquired and sold illegally by extended "family" members and their attorney, Robert Townes of Gardendale, AL. I was aware of Alabama Estate Law, advised my attorneys of the laws, could not get assistance from most of them, was not advised or served documents regarding hearings concerning my father's estate as executrix of my father's estate. Therefore, I was prevented from attending court hearings and was told I could not represent myself or my father's estate to expose this theft and corruption to the probate judge. Nor was I told of all the false allegations by"family" members (who were not heirs in the estate),my x-husband, his wife, and others so that I could prove these allegations were false and also prove that I did all work and accounting on the estate, I DID NOT perform any unethical or illegal actions in my administration by others involved did, including most of the attorneys. I was forced to sign final settlement with threats of taking more funds and property from me if I did not. I was never advised of hearings concerning the property that was acquired and sold illegally that belonged to my father's estate. Therefore, I could not settle my father's estate for over 3 years because those who took this property illegally from my father's estate had not filed a final settlement on this property. I never signed a final settlement on this property as executrix of this property and an heir as I was prevented from attending court and advising the judge of this corruption. I was also prevented from being present in court in reference to the visitation/custody case my x-husband filed during this time to present documents that proved that all of his statement to the judge were false, prove he had never followed the court order of 1997, owed child support and benefits to his children, had not provided insurance for his children as ordered, would not pay 1/2 of uncovered medical/dental costs for my children, the judge would not order his to, and is currently not doing so. Nor was I allowed to prove that my x-husband presented bogus documents to the court, presented a altered money order in attempts to prove he had paid me funds ordered by the judge that he did not, or prove that he, his wife, and others involved had slandered me which prevented from protecting my father, protecting his assets and property, and settle his estate according to his Power of Attorney and Will. I also believe that the home that I purchased, paid the mortgage on for over 15 years, the deed was in my name only, and the transaction was done by the opposing attorney, (conflict of interest?)was included in my father's estate because my x-husband and extended "family members" THOUGHT that my parents purchased my home! I have sent NUMEROUS documents and my accounting to the Alabama State Bar, the Attorney General's Office, and numerous authorities to prove my claims of property theft, slander, due process of law, conflicts of interest, being prevented from attending court hearins, and other unethical, illegal actions of those involved but have not received any help so far. Anyone have any suggestions in exposing this crime and corruption?
