When someone has a complaint about unethical behavior by a lawyer or a judge, the state bar association will investigate. If Gloria thinks her lawyer violated ethical rules in the course of representing her, she can request an investigation by the bar association who licenses the lawyer.

I have an “unjustice claim” that was purged against me from my ex-husband after 38 years. In fact, he claimed that I owed him back-child-support of 28 years and he claimed 58K. Knowing this was a result of his retirement monies which I won a judgment back in 2003. So to reverse this claim he (now a retired deputy sheriff) took me back to court and the monies starting with back-child-support of $400.00 a month, plus $798.00 which he thereafter filed a quadro, claiming it was an “error.” Just because he worked in the court years ago it turned out in his favor. He also bought out my attorney and had him sexually harass me in public. I just can’t understand the court system; it had plagued me with this outcome of losing every time I tried to come into court on an OSC. The judge made a lot of excuses for not having the paperwork in front of him, when I paid an attorney to file this in court, but turned out in my ex-husband’s favor again. I was cheated out of the monies, and I can’t go back into court because of fear of being mistreated and made a mockery of in front of his attorney, in which my ex-husband didn’t have to show in court to prove anything, his attorney did all the work. Not to mention that his attorney would call me up and each time ask me for the name of my attorneys and then none of my attorneys ever showed up in court on time or didn’t want to show up or had an excuse not to represent me thereafter. Each time I paid, something would happen to me in court or outside of court. Can you please tell me what is happening to me and why I can’t retrieve these monies on an OSC? Not to mention during those 28 years years my ex-husband sat on this, claiming a legal document for back-child-support was never certified copy or was a patsy because he knew people in the court system to get away with it, but also this commissioner which he claimed signed this order was deceased. The judge thereafter in 2009 was “indicted” for “bribery” so this also makes me feel again why I am so jilted again. I would like to know why this wasn’t presented properly in this. Not to mention my former attorney was being sued by other clients for misconduct and demanded I pay him 8 thousand for his services rendered for sexual harassment. What should I do in this case, since he and my ex-husband did what they did to use me against him in court as it was told his attorney past that he was doing the same to the opposite parties in his other clients in the past.

Sincerely yours,

Gloria

Gloria: I’m so sorry but I can’t sort out the details of what happened to you well enough to render any meaningful advice. It’s clear to me you feel wronged and the victim of an injustice, however, which never feels good.

The Arbinger Institute offers a hypothesis I found interesting. If I understand their point, it is this:

When we turn away from doing what we know is right, we set up in ourselves a feeling of self-justification that leads to blaming others. This point of view creates self-deception, conflict and self-defeating beliefs and behaviours.

The institute offers a lot of information that explains their ideas much better than I can. But I found the idea intriguing, particularly since the only person I can change is myself—and I am often the last to know when I am part of the problem.

So perhaps the problem with our failing to act when we see something we think is wrong is what that failure does to ourselves.
