United Law Group Applauds Governor Schwarzeneggers Veto of State Bar Fee Bill


Irvine, CA (Vocus) October 20, 2009 –

United Law Group agreed with statements produced by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger about troubles with the State Bar following his refusal to sign SB 641. His veto of the State Bar dues bill came on the heels of a report issued by the State Auditor in July of 2009 which cited issues with the expense of managing the Bars disciplinary method, a lack of internal controls which led to the embezzlement of $ 676,000 from the State Bar, and concerns concerning the organizations impartiality in thinking about judicial appointments.

There is no justification for the State Bar of California to have the variety of issues it has, mentioned Robert Buscho, Senior Litigation Attorney for United Law Group. The Bar has an obligation to the public and to its membership to do some severe housekeeping and drop the political agenda.

&#13

This isnt the initial time in current history that the Bars been accused of getting overly-political and inefficient. In an write-up on ML-Implode.com, Martin Andelman quoted the Governors letter to the Bar, which said that the concerns raised by Governor Pete Wilson in 1997 when he vetoed the State Bar dues bill have been still pervasive. Governor Swarzenegger states that in 1997 there had been, several issues that the State Bar had turn out to be overly political, unresponsive to its membership, and inefficient. However, twelve years later, inefficiencies stay unaddressed and questions about the State Bars part in the evaluation of judicial nominees suggest that the State Bars political agenda continues.

United Law Group is 1 of 25 law firms targeted by the State Bar in a current crackdown on attorneys involved in assisting consumers that seek representation for the duration of negotiations with banks.

&#13

The State Bar filed a complaint against 1 of our attorneys for attempting to help a consumer to avert a foreclosure and collecting a $ 1,750 retainer for our efforts, mentioned Buscho. When the banks did not respond to the firms quite a few attempts, United Law Group refunded the full retainer of $ 1,750. The Bars complaint was filed 90 days after the refund was issued.

The State Bar has been criticized by many of its members for siding with the banks and not supporting genuine estate attorneys. It not too long ago took a political stance on SB 94, a bill that raised concern in the legal community since it would prohibit lawyers from accepting a retainer up front for services.

&#13

The State Bar’s support of that bill was a very political move, mentioned Buscho. Ironically, this bill negatively impacts the constitutional rights of distressed homeowners to seek representation by preventing attorneys from providing services associated to residence loan modification and foreclosure prevention. The Bars support of this bill is a clear instance of an organization pushing its political agenda with out regard for its members or the public at massive.
