Violation #5 – Professional Misconduct of Attorneys – Counseled Client to Engage in Criminal Conduct

The following information is taken from a sworn affidavit that I filed with the courts as part of complaints about the professional misconduct of the attorneys involved:  The proof of this violation is found in the deposition testimony of Maid of the Mist’s managers who admitted that much of what was in the Verified Complaint drated by Marc W. Brown of Phillips Lytle was false and was not the personal knowledge of anyone, much less the President who signed the verification saying it was on his “personal knowledge.”  Exhibit 1 to Windsor Declaration #3 – Motion to Reopen the Case — Each of the false statements is listed with the proof that it is false shown beneath with citations to the record.

1.    On August 17, 2005, Time Slips show that Mr. Marc Brown (“Mr. Brown”) of Phillips Lytle became involved in this matter.  He asked Mr. Anderson what should be in Glynn’s affidavit for the lawsuit.  Mr. Brown then outlined the affidavit and drafted the affidavit. [Evans Docket #253-15, P 2.]  This establishes that both Mr. Brown and Mr. Anderson are guilty of preparing the false sworn affidavit.  Mr. Russ was also involved.  One of the most basic things that all attorneys must know is what “personal knowledge” means.  Very little of what Mr. Brown and Mr. Anderson drafted for Glynn was within his personal knowledge.  These attorneys knew he did not have the personal knowledge of the various false claims that they wrote for him.  Glynn, Schul, and Ruddy all testified that statements made by Glynn in this affidavit were false.
