The late Chief Justice Roy McMurtry admitted that the biggest problem facing Canada’s legal system is affordable access to justice not only in criminal and claims courts but also at the appellate levels. I could not agree more. But the second biggest problem, as I have personally experienced is the ability of the public to obtain unbiased assistance from the Law Society. I actually corresponded and had a conversation with Justice McMurtry about this very matter and one of my old letters to him is actually an exhibit in my law society complaint. here at http://bruceslawsocietycomplaint.wordpress.com. I had a similar conversation with former Chief Justice Patrick LeSage in his courtroom when I had to file a pro-se writ of habeas corpus when my lawyer failed to follow my instructions to do so in order to end a 10 month illegal detention without charges. I was released before Justice LeSage could even rule on the writ. (See Case: E-19-00) At the time I was being held in maximum security detention (Immigration hold) even though Adjudicator William Willoughby granted me a “Voluntary Departure Order” months before. (How can I voluntary depart Canada if I am locked up maximum security?) I was also granted extradition bail my Madame Justice Garton after she caught on to the lies being used to detain me illegally.) Gilmour insisted a habeas filing would go nowhere and no justice would even hear it. Chief Justice LeSage proved Gilmour was not legally astute nor competent. My pro-se filing led to my freedom. Gilmour only said “Congrats on your habeas”.

Jesse James used guns when he robbed banks and people. Bernie Maddoff used his position, charm,and greed to swindlle. But there exists another species of thieves who rely on their knowledge of the law, and relationships with judges to rob and even terrorize people – even their own clients. They know how to “shop for the right judge” and shop for the right lawyer who is pals with the right judge. They know when to schedule trial dates when certain witnesses will or will not be available to them. They even know that if they rob someone in a foreign country, the Law Societies of Canada will have no legal jurisdiction to investigate, much less sanction them. In short they know to weaponize the law to take unfair advantage of those who do not even know what a bailiff is, and fear to bear the title “defendant”. Only those who earn their wages in a courtroom are not intimidated by legal proceedings. Many unethical lawyers use this fear to their advantage. Solicitor William Gilmour is so skillful at manipulating the intimidation that his former law partner (David Dash) actually felt compelled to apologize to me for his misconduct. David was a man of integrity – cut from a much different cloth. There are indeed plenty of good, honest, and ethical lawyers in Canada to be sure.

These predatory lawyers may wear a convenient disguise for months, but eventually they will show their true colors as soon as you decide you need a better, more aggressive, more diligent, or more honest attorney in your corner. It is then that they will flex their muscles and try to intimidate you to follow their “expert advice” that strangely never fails to benefit their wallets. Some lawyers are so confident of their legal skills and connections that they will resort to extortion, especially when the client is a transient refugee, sought for extradition, or so meek, mild, or ignorant of the law. They know the Law Society only hears about 20% of the complaints filed and if he is accused of his crimes at the LSUC, he has less than a 1% chance of being exposed or sanctioned. After all, lawyers in the same jurisdiction seldom if ever implicate one another, because one day they themselves may be the accused. Some lawyers, especially if they earn a living in the same law firm will even lie for a partner to protect the income stream and reputation of the firm.

So let’s cut to the chase… Since my wife and I are both victims of the same terrorist attorney who already legally stole the former home of my deceased parents, I cannot possibly be unbiased in this matter. You can. Take a look at this and decide if this man should be allowed to practice law anywhere on Planet Earth. http://ohiocourtroomcorruption.blogspot.com To be clear, this is not a rant from some “sore loser”. This is a public warning that what happened to my wife and I can just as easily happen to YOU, and the Law Society will never ask the police to investigate the crimes of their members who pay plenty of money every year in “membership dues”. Who do you thinks pays the salaries and operating costs of the LSUC? They are a private company, not a government entity.

IMHO, solicitors who deliberately put justice out of reach of their own clients should not only be sanctioned with stiff fines, but they should face a mandatory jail term of at least one year and be disbarred. Why? Because they are subverting both justice and the code of ethics in a premeditated manner. They are destroying families solely to increase their own income. They are in effect, committing grand theft which is a crime in most, if not all countries of the world. Their legal terrorism causes so much financial hardship and stress that my wife suffered a miscarriage. Yet Law Societies do their best to conceal all this wrong doing from the public. Why? Why don’t they publish a “bad apple” list online of all the lawyers who have had complaints filed against them? Are they really protecting the public or the lawyers?

When someone uses the courts or the law to benefit their own agenda or interests, it is called “Abuse of Process” – yet it is not a criminal offense, only an ethical violation, no matter how much damage a greedy lawyer may cause. It is grounds for sanctions and disbarment by the Law Society however. But the act of extortion is a criminal offense, and in my opinion, and that of most prosecutors, it should be handled as a police matter – openly in the courts, not hidden in the back room and files of Osgoode Hall. No other profession enjoys immunity from prosecution on a wholesale basis. Why should lawyers receive this special protection? Some lawyers will not stop, with just one home. To stop me from returning to Canada to file criminal charges against him, he again used his vast knowledge of the law to file a false police report against me claiming that 4 years after he stole the Ohio home, I supposedly called him from China claiming I would kill him! (absolutely false as a polygraph test would prove). He knows that there is a law that says no person who threatens to harm a Canadian citizen can enter Canada. How convenient eh? And because this sly guy legally represents the Peel Police Department, when I tried to file an extortion complaint with the police in 2008, the last time I was in Canada with my Canadian wife and son, the duty sergeant stopped a rookie officer from processing my complaint and instructed him “Send the guy to the Law Society”. Hmmm…. why do you think he would say that? Are lawyers above the law, or only the ones that represent law enforcement clients? Would the Law Society really search out the truth?

The Law Society was sent the formal complaint with all the exhibits proving my claims and providing some extra backround information, no only about the home heist but all of the below misdeeds and breaches of trust/ethics. I even supplied them with a list of 19 eye or expert witnesses.

Failure to appear for scheduled court hearings

Attempting to coerce a financial POA with lies about spousal infidelity

“Misplacing” key documentary evidence

Failing to disclose his own police arrest on August 14, 2001 for child abuse

Asking one client to cheat another out of millions of dollars (Vic Richards – Big Brute Motorcycles)

Refusal to follow client instructions related to liberty issues

Perjury

Filing a false claim in a foreign court

Grossly misrepresenting his legal qualifications and experience

Coercing his client’s spouse to buy his own personal automobile

Threatening to “misplace” even more evidence

“Forgetting” to call his client and witnesses to testify on the stand

Requesting his client to commit a felony crime while falsely jailed

Abandoning his client at an interrogation he himself scheduled

Trying to sell the confidential files/statements of his client for $50,000 to third parties

Threatening “I will bankrupt your entire family” if his demands were not met

Fabricated a present a fraudulent bill 2 years after he was removed from the case

Accepting money from a mobster accused by police of being a murder suspect

Soliciting money from a friend of the client without his knowledge nor consent

Failure to demand copies of the mandatory “charging documents” in Case: E-19-00

Failure to inform the court that witnesses were being threatened

Failure to advise the court of the refugee status of his client

Failure to obtain a video deposition offered by an exculpatory eye witness

As a former Fortune 500 executive and U.S. federal agent and military veteran/investigator, I know full well these allegations are serious, yet the unnamed invisible investigator from the Law Society never bothered to contact a single one of my 19 witnesses, My three offers to take and pass a polygraph exam were ignored. Could it be they did not want to know the truth? Could it be they would rather conceal the truth and shield the law firm attached to this unethical lawyer? The law firm pays over $100,000 a year in membership fees (according to Gilmour himself). William Gilmour even boasted to me “You can’t touch me”. It appears that he was right. BTW… Can someone explain why Malcolm Heins found it neccessary to call me and “warn” me about “discussing your complaint with any third parties – even the police”?

In case you wonder how I ended up in China of all places and how my problems in Canada began, this will give you the short version. The long version was in book manuscripts that were stolen at gunpoint by American federal agents in front of my family, friends and neighbors without any court orders to seize them. http://whyunclesamhatesbruce.blogspot.com

The moral of this story is that not all lawyers can be trusted to be professional legal warriors to defend, promote, nor preserve YOUR best interests. And when they don’t, don’t ever assume the Law Society will help you right the wrongs. Lawyers protect and serve one another first, and their clients second. You will be just one of many and when your case is resolved, they will still have to deal with the same lawyers and judges with hundreds of other clients in the future. Whose relationship do you think they care about most – yours or that of their courtroom colleagues?

In closing, I have used the services of 12 lawyers in my 60 years of life on Earth. Five were Canadian and four of these five were honorable and professional gentlemen in every respect. In fact Marshal Drukarsh might be the most honorable attorney I ever met in my life. Of the 12 lawyers, 11 will confirm they were paid in full. Only Gilmour claims he was not. Of the 12 lawyers, only 2 failed me and only one committed crimes against my family and I. The other fellow who dropped the legal ball on me, I was able to forgive due to his alcoholism which he admitted and remedied with rehab. As for the current ongoing harassment and terrorism, I am still waiting for the Law Society to do their job and call in the police. And I am still waiting 9 years to be told the following:

Who was the investigator of my complaint? Can I please see a copy of their report explaining their decision to dismiss the complaint? Why didn’t the investigator contact a single one of my 19 witnesses including my wife and myself? Why didn’t the investigator examine the court file archives and transcripts that support my complaint? Why won’t you tell me how to appeal the adverse decision over the last nine years?

Justice delayed is justice denied friends. If you read my 2006 article in the Orangeville Citizen, you will see and understand why I expected to find more justice in Canada than my native America. Thanks to one incompetent lawyer I have been separated from my Canadian wife and children for six years. In view of all of the above, I must ask. How does one find genuine justice in Canada since it is almost extinct in America as I reported to Amnesty International just days before I was arrested in Canada by one Immigration Canada official and 12 swat team members. https://afewthoughtsfrombruce.wordpress.com/2014/07/29/american-citizens-are-tortured-on-american-soil-for-years-an-shameful-fact/
