1. to luciusverenus,

I have been reading your crazed posts for the past 4 months and just laughed them off. But you now mention the ARDC as if you know something special. I have been a member of the hearing panel for over 21 years and I am here to tell YOU that we take action when action is proved. The wheels may turn slowly BUT I have personally been involved with over 60 disbarments of lawyers. We in addition meat out sever suspensions and fines. I have seen these men and women cry, moan and in a few rare cases commit suicide once their cases have been resolved. The most we are allowed to do is remove their license to practice. That is big to them, it is their identity. So to your assertion that we are hiding something or that we are bought off or give special treatment to certain individuals. YOU ARE SO WRONG, SLICK.

And all of my prayers go out to Olie, I have driven past his store for years and unfortunatly have never gone in. I have obviously missed a good piece of chicago.

1. Hi chicago_concerned, Nice to meet you. I believe that we are not talking about the same ARDC. The ARDC that I'm discussing will not even censure a GAL who committed a fraud in Florida, Medicaid fraud and a fraud against her own brother - all in one complaint. It appears that for some reason only 2% of all the cases brought before the ARDC in Illinois are from Cook County. Think of all the shysters in Chicago who prey upon the public. Chicago_concerned maybe your ARDC is in a different country. Lucius Verenus, Schoolmaster, ProbateSharks.com

There is only ONE ardc in Illinois. I have dealt with cases from cook county to sangamon county. You seem to be concentrating on only one case. Let your anger go. I have personally adjudicated several medicaid fraud cases and they have been rather agregious. I can assure you they were dealt with severly. The Illinois supreme court oversees our sentence recomondations, if they percieve that we are being lienient with someone they kick it back for re-evaluation. In short no one gets a pass and everyone is entitled to due process. No matter how much you would like to shake them like a martini.

1. Dear chicago_concerned, I appreciate your comments on the ARDC of Illinois. I am really not angry only disappointed in our legal system that allows the foxes to watch the chicken coop. My researcher has investigated 240 cases (check our recent website posting regarding the ARDC) and found a paucity of Cook cases that appear never reviewed. ProbateSharks.com has reviewed hundreds of cases in Cook County, IL from one particular GAL (over 7 years) who has generated dozens of complaints that at first face appear to be extremely valid. Not only has this GAL ever been censured, reprimanded or terminated by the ARDC, but all of the complaints against her appear to have been removed from her ARDC file. In other words someone is parring her files. Any person checking her ARDC file will find NOTHING there! A vacant file. Can you explain this phenomena? Lucius is watchful of the ARDC and so are others. Lucius Verenus, Schoolmaster, ProbateSharks.com

I am quite hesitant to engage in this back-and-forth since you constantly make incorrect statements. If a complaint has been deemed unfounded it is removed from the file. That is only fair, not to be constantly persued by unfounded complaints. As to your assertion that the "foxes are gaurding the hen house" I am a non-lawyer, over 22 years ago this complaint was addressed after the gray lord trials and there is a non-lawyer assigned to EACH panel to gaurd against this very complaint. I can assure you that our presence has been an added value to the entire process. you and your team needs to really learn about the process and how many hard working intelligent people are involved in the process. All working to make it a fair and impartial commission. I may also point out the ARDC is the second busiest in the US, second only to new york. Our commision has constantly been the model for many newly formed commissions in other states. I am very proud to be a small part of this system that truly helps the guy next door, down the street and in the next county

1. Dear chicago_concerned, I can understand your hesitancy to air this discussion publicly since it brings to attention of any persons monitoring this exchange, the rampant corruption in the legal system of Cook County. This legal system has been justifiably considered since “Greylord” as a criminal enterprise. I can back up any of the statements that have been made with fact. Since you have been reading Lucius’s comments for four months, you know where to reach me. If you are truly sincere about redeeming and improving the broken system I would be pleased to correspond with you. Keep in mind that in the last 30 years less than 10 judges have been sanction by the judicial review of the Supreme Court and about half of these have been hopeless alcoholics and one was fondling one of his female State’s Attorneys in court. I have to sign off now for the evening, but again, please contact me as you appear to be sincere, even if you are wrong. Best wishes, Lucius Verenus, Schoolmaster, ProbateSharks.com

DIALOGUE BETWEEN VOXPOP AND LUCIUS VERENUS 10-21-2010

1. Hey Probate Shark. You are in the wrong forum. Further, how can anyone trust your claims or "research" about attorney discipline when you harp about a person, such as Anthony Boswell, who is not a lawyer in Illinois. I suspect you think you or a family member got screwed in a probate action. Use your real name and case number and let an investigator (writer/reporter) pull the file and read the record. In the mean time, take your complaints to articles that have relevancy, please.
