Robert, I just read through the file (thanks again for uploading it), but I only found two complaints instead of six. Did my old eyes miss something or is this all the WSAG office send you?
What was in the file seems to confirm what we already knew... that Timothy B. McCormack and his paralegal trolls reply on FORM letters to try to demand absurd payments from people. As the second complaint in the above file says, lawyers who do this really should be barred from using their unethical practices.
Of course, what normal honest people regard as unethical, many lawyers regard differently.
I noted the result of the first complaint was to thank the individual for filing. The second result was "Resolution: CLOSED INQUIRY/INFORMATION.
Regarding the second complaint, I was appalled to read this in the response from the Attorney General's office:
"Consumer complaints regarding the actions of attorneys are exempt from the Consumer Protection Act and the informal mediation service our office provides. The State Supreme Court has given the Washington State Bar Association the authority to review and respond to complaints regarding Washington State attorneys."
No wonder collection lawyers can get away with murder.
No wonder Getty can get away with what it does.
Got a problem with a Washington State lawyer trying to shake you down for thousands of dollars? Then, according to the Washington State Attorney General's office, complain to other lawyers in the Washington State Bar Association who will then sanction one of their own.
Yeah, right, and pigs can fly.
Our system is so broken...
