Security in Solo Practice in 2014–Some thoughts
I have learned some things in my practice of law for less than ten years that I would like to share with others in order to prevent what has happened to me. One cannot practice law in 2014 without knowledge about security for records and for the office.
First, one must get incorporated as a P.C. , (Professional Corporation). This will limit liability and protect your individual resources.
Second, one should have a code to enter your office even if it is one room. Then you need a video system to protect your office from unwanted visitors when you are not present. I would get an individual alarm if possible. Opponents these days are breaking into your office and stealing your files repeatedly. They keep coming and must be stopped. They are bribing judges and clerks to alter records. Some judges have racketeering operations. In Houston, for example, the Justices of the Peace are for sale and will grant judgments if you have the right amount of money. Moreover, some District Judges in Harris County are corrupt. I do not know what the issue is with the judge in the 55th District Court. I do not know if he is a racist, biased, on the take or is just corrupt. There are others. The District Clerk’s Office in Houston is corrupt. I have gone to the Commissioner’s court many times and warned of the “cancer in the clerk’s office” in that records are routinely altered. Records cannot be changed four times legally by the clerk. This means you must keep at least three copies of all records in three separate places. A safety deposit box is not safe. My safety deposit box has been broken into at least three times and the records have been stolen from it. Only law enforcement should be able to enter your safety deposit box. This is no longer the case. Corruption abounds. For example, the original decision of the 10th Court of Appeals rendered on 7/28/10 in my case has been destroyed. The decision per the rules should be kept for 20 years. They allege that they no longer have a copy of the original decision and appear to have fabricated a new decision with the same date to deny me appellate review. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals destroyed its copy of the opinion filed in my PDR and the Texas Supreme Court destroyed the copy filed in my disbarment pleadings, the U.S. District Court destroyed my application for Writ of Habeas Corpus and someone substituted other pleadings in its place. They went further and changed the indictment and all elements of the crime. There has been a massive conspiracy in this case. My home was burglarized to the point of tearing up my bedroom furniture to obtain all date stamped copies of my PDR and other documents. Corruption abounds. The State and prosecutor fabricate documents as fast as we speak to win their appeals.
Thirdly, you must make your documents secure so that they will not be altered. In state ahnd federal court, the documents are being altered after you file them. Your documents should always be password protected. The problem with this is that the courts will not allow password protected documents as this prevents them from being able to alter them. The originals are being destroyed and new documents created. The perpetrators save your signature page to make it look like it is your document. Despite this, they are being obtained and retyped and altered. People are desperate to win even small amounts. I sued North Village Green Homeowner’s Association and they hired someone to break into my home and alter the records and had the influence of the judge such that they did not have to file motions and follow the rules. Other parties in the case, forged my name on signature cards for summary judgments and were a part of the conspiracy. All courts including the Texas Supreme Court agreed this was okay. A forged signature card to obtain a summary judgment was acceptable in Texas.
It is important that you remember that the bigger the case, the greater the need for security. For example, I sued the Eagle Newspaper and KTBX TV and Gray Communications. They hired crooked lawyers who hired people to break into my home and steal all my records repeatedly. John P. Barnwell did not want to lose and paid any amount to win. My life was made a living hell by these attorneys in that they stole all of my legal files repeatedly. They even got around my burglar alarm. They are desperate to win. The Court records are altered repeatedly. You need to make constant copies of court records and store them in separate places. The court system is too corrupt to practice at this time. Attorneys are too desperate to win at any cost. One white female told a friend of mine that she feels her husband was killed. The records in all courts were altered. In my writ of habeas corpus, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals did not image my application with its exhibits. When I filed my case in federal court, the Clerk did not image my application with its exhibits and my records were destroyed and other records were falsified in their place including making a new order from the court below. All records were destroyed and new records made in all courts. I never expected this. Lawyers have in the past felt some safety in what they file in court. There is no such thing anymore. The judges and their clerks are altering the records at every venue. Next, they will be killing you to win. If these white lawyers in Louisiana are correct, this is already being done. All lawyers are reporting break- ins of their offices. I became aware of the seriousness of the problem when people started making open confessions in church that they had made a career of stealing legal files and selling them for a living . They wanted forgiveness for this conduct. Dallas is especially corrupt in this way.
Next, have written office procedures and establish an personal, business and IOALTA account. Never transfer funds from the Client Trust (IOALTA) account until the funds have been earned. Never co-mingle personal and client funds. Have your staff sign nondisclosure contracts.
Learn to document all contacts with everyone. Make memos to self if necessary. Keep records in the “clouds” and several other places.
We are now living in an era where the government can enter your office, tap your phone, seize your mail, etc. without warrants or probable cause and no court will protect you. Never leave anything important unprotected. A personal safe is more secure than a safety deposit box. The FBI and Secret Service are the most corrupt and dishonest opponents in the world. They will not hesitate to kill witnesses or steal your records. They will alter and tamper with government documents as well. You have a dangerous opponent when you take on the government. Certain law firms like Jackson Walker, L.L.P. and Joel White are unethical and dishonest. They will terrorize you by constantly stealing your legal files to change court records so that they can win. They pay people to burglarize your home. There are other firms doing this but these have been my more recent opponents.
There are other things to consider such as the running of the office but this is security and that is the most important thing to protect you and your client’s interest.
