I used to have tremendous respect for this lawyer because he has drawn up several documents for me and my Dad over the years. BUT, I lost ALL of that respect when this lawyer represented a landlord who ALLEGED damages by the tenant, but which were actually the obligations of the landlord to fix, repair, or build. He represented a landlord who, in my opinion, committed the following egregious acts:
1. PERJURY, FRAUD, CONVERSION OF FUNDS, BREACH OF THE LANDLORDS DUTY TO MAINTAIN THE PREMISES, FAILURE TO FULLY DISCLOSE EVIDENCE and/or WITHHOLDING EVIDENCE, plus violations of the following Sections of the Virginia Code of Law:
1. Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (VRLTA)
2. Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC)
3. Violations of the following Specific Sections of the Virginia Code of Law:
§ 55.1-1245
§ 55.1-1220
§ 55.1-1202
§ 55.1-1220(A)(1)
§ 55.1-1220(A)(2)
§ 55.1-1220(A)(4)
§ 55.1-1234.1
§ 55.1-1229
§ 55.1-1226
§ 55.1-1226(A)
§ 55.1-1200 et seq.
§ 55.1-1248
This lawyer was the prosecuting attorney for a landlord who sued a tenant for DAMAGES THAT THE TENANT HAD NOT DONE. Now, the tenant has to pay the landlord THOUSANDS of dollars and the tenant is having to pay HUNDREDS of dollars every two weeks when the tenant gets paid. I think this is pretty lowdown of both the attorney and the landlord because THE TENANT HAS A TWO-YEAR-OLD CHILD. Garnishing the tenant's wages at 25% prevents the child from getting all of the necessities needed. It takes a HEARTLESS person, or a COLD HEARTED person, to deny the tenant and family the ability to pay bills and to buy food and diapers for the CHILD. It's a shame that the landlord FABRICATED damages for which HE, not the tenant, was responsible for maintaining and repairing. Whether the attorney knowingly allowed his client to violate these laws, or if the attorney was ignorant of these laws, neither reflect well on the attorney. A COMPETENT lawyer with HONORABLE work ethics should not have violated the Sections of the Virginia Code of Law.
After deep research and study of the Virginia Code of Law and having extensive FIRSTHAND knowledge of the aforementioned situation, I know that I will never use this lawyer again, nor will I recommend him to others.
I sincerely hope that the landlord's attorney was not in collusion nor complicit with the landlord. But, not knowing what fabricated lies the landlord told this attorney to convince him to take the case, I am not at liberty to make this assumption. But regardless, THAT DOES NOT EXONERATE NOR ABSOLVE the attorney from CULPABILITY because he knows me and he knows that I'm honest. Thus, he should have had had some modicum of skepticism and reservations about the landlord's claims before taking the case. But whatever the situation may be, the attorney should have familiarized himself with the Virginia Code of Law in regards to the ALLEGED evidence and ALLEGED proof of damage. He should have familiarized himself with the fallacies of the landlord's case and the multiple number of the Virginia Code of Law Sections that the landlord violated. Because of his incompetence and ineptitude, a family, INCLUDING A TWO-YEAR-OLD BABY, are struggling financially because of fraudulent misrepresentation, fabricated evidence, perjured testimony, and/or material omissions by the landlord. SHAME ON THE LANDLORD AND SHAME ON THE ATTORNEY!!
