Catalano & Plache: The Cochran Firm Fraud

THE COCHRAN FIRM apparently defrauds other law firms as well as its clients and some of its partners. See an excerpt of an article in New York Law Journal, dated October 29, 2012:

Two prominent civil rights firms in New York are accused by a three-lawyer Washington, D.C., firm of cheating it out of a significant fee as part of a $3.75 million settlement in a wrongful death case. Catalano & Plache claims that [Cochran] Neufeld Scheck & Brustin and Emery Celli Brinckerhoff & Abady submitted court documents on settlement terms without naming Catalano as a participating firm.

"The defendants engaged in a pattern of conduct to defraud and deceive plaintiff," Catalano argues in the Manhattan Supreme Court suit, Law Offices of Catalano & Plache v. Brustin, 157248/2012. "Defendants are scheming and attempting to avoid their legal, moral and ethical obligations."

The complaint said Cochran Neufeld & Scheck, a predecessor firm to Neufeld Scheck, agreed to jointly represent Emil Mann's estate in a New Jersey court. (See the full article in New York Law Journal)

One might wonder if The Cochran Firm also cheated its client, Mann's son, in the wrongful death civil action. (This article has eighteen(18)  links.) Emil Mann was a member of the Ramapough Mountain Indians. He was shot and killed by New Jersey Park Police Officer Chad Walder in April 2006 in Mahwah, N.J. The Cochran Firm showed The Ramapough People no mercy years later when it mishandled the Ramapough's lawsuit against Ford for toxic waste dumping on the Ramapough's land, causing sickness, deaths, and pollution. The unethical lawyers settled the Ramapough's civil action for a mere $12.5million although the lawsuit was valued at $3billion. The CoIntelPro lawyers also neglected to file suit against the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) for its part in the environmental pollution that lasted over 40 years, with Ford continually dumping paint sludge on the Ramapough's property. The EPA issued an order to Ford in 1983 to clean the Ramapough People's land within 10 years, and Ford ignored its responsibility to clean the land by at least 1993. The EPA had a responsibility to enforce its order but neglected to do so. The land was still contaminated in 2006, thirteen years after Ford's deadline. Therefore, the EPA shares a responsibility with along with Ford for sickness and deaths resulting from land contamination after 1993, because the EPA neglected to enforce its own deadline. I am confident that The Cochran Firm never told the Ramapough People that they also could make a case against the EPA, because after Johnnie Cochran's death, The Cochran Firm seems to have become a CoIntelPro agent.

After the alleged fraud against Catalano & Plache, "Cochran" seems to have "disappeared" from the name and presumably from the law firm that is now named Neufeld Scheck & Brustin. (Neufeld may be left holding the bag.) The Cochran Firm is famous of its "now you see us, now you don't" magic tricks. The Cochran Firm's office in Atlanta actually got Judge Wendy Shoob to say there is no Cochran Firm office whatsoever within the State of Georgia and dismiss my fraud lawsuit against the scoundrels based on that perjury (Neals v. The Cochran Firm, Georgia Superior Court, 2005). The Firm got Judge Timothy Batten to rule it "immaterial" that The Cochran Firm's defrauded my family to protect Memphis Shelby County Jail after the secret arrest and wrongful death of Larry Neal (United States District Court, Norther District of GA, Neals v. The Cochran Firm, 2007). See "WRONGFUL DEATH OF LARRY NEAL" http://WrongfulDeathOfLarryNeal.com . I was very offended by the courts' deicsions and did not learn until years later that "black men have no rights white men are bound to honor" (Dred Scott decision) and that African Americans are not "real" citizens who owe the nation allegiance and have PROTECTED rights. I did not learn about the Black Codes in school, so I believed for over 50 years that I had regular U.S. citizenship when in fact, every 25 years Congress votes on whether blacks can continue to vote and serve on juries. If Catalano & Plache has many black attorneys and staff, nothing is likely to be done about the firm being duped by The CoIntelPro Cochran Firm lawyers. The Cochran Firm fraud against minorities has many unexpected accomplices, including numerous black people.

After defrauding the Neal family and the family of 92-year-old police victim Kathryn Johnston, and lying in Georgia Superior Court (denying that Cochran Cherry Givens Smith & Sistrunk law office is in any way connected with The Cochran Firm or its Memphis law office), the managing partner of the Atlanta office of The Cochran Firm, Hezekiah Sistrunk, was REWARDED by being inducted in the prestigious Gate City Bar Hall of Fame. See the embedded video below and at http://youtu.be/VpllACRJxeY YouTube link. Count how many times CCGSS denies any affiliation with The Cochran Firm in this Response to Interrogatories which it filed in Georgia Superior Court while it continued to advertise and contract with unsuspecting clients under that same identity http://www.wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com/docs/Ex05_CCGSSRogResponses.pdf   When the Neal family sued The Cochran Firm for its fraud in federal court, The Cochran Firm proceeded to deny having any law offices whatsoever in Memphis, Tennessee. My 89-year-old mother said, "But that is where we signed contract." I said, "I know, Mama. The Cochran Firm is allowed to do perjury in courts of law." See more awards that help Sistrunk cover-up his lack of ethics at this link http://www.cochranfirm.com/attorneys/hsistrunk.html  
.


The Cochran Firm frauds are not usually reported except in legal journals. Mainstream media, state bars, courts, legal search engines, the BBB and other consumer protection agencies, etc., censor these lawsuits so The Cochran Firm can continue to misuse Johnnie Cochran's name and defraud other minorities like Mr. Mann and the Ramapough People and my family after my mentally, physically handicapped brother's 18 days of secret arrest and murder in Memphis Shelby County Jail. It seems that the law firm's main purpose now is to defraud its own clients by reducing or eliminating payouts by to its clients by government entities and major corporations. The Cochran Firm is sued regularly by its own attorneys as well as its defrauded clients.

Catalano & Plache may not be the first law firm that sued The Cochran Firm for fraud, but censorship keeps most civil actions against The Cochran Firm out of news reports, and judges ordinarily prevent the frauds from going before a jury. The Cochran Firm is a repeat offender, and I hope all of its fraud victims will come forward, unite and sue the unethical law firm partners under the RICO Act (assuming that blacks will not be interned in concentration camps without any criminal charges and with no opportunity for defense under NDAA.) People who persist in seeking justice after falling victim to a Cochran Firm Fraud may be subjected to gangstalking, censorship, financial persecution, and burglary. My home was burglarized in August 2011, and the only things stolen were two boxes of Neals v. The Cochran Firm lawsuit files and evidence I was not permitted to put before a jury. In preparation for a RICO action against The Cochran Firm frauds, I have followed numerous cases and invite you to review ten(10) listed below along with their links.

1. COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD IN CA SUPREME COURT
http://marylovesjustice.blogspot.com/2012/10/cochran-firm-fraud-in-ca-court-of.html
The Cochran Firm was sued by black employees who contracted with The Cochran Firm to represent them against their employer in a race discrimination lawsuit. The Cochran Firm had the workers to sign a confidentiality agreement for mediation. The Cochran firm then removed the signature page from the confidentiality agreement and used it in a settlement agreement without its clients' knowledge or permission and settled their lawsuit for a miniscule sum.

Martin Luther King, Jr's confidence and keep the government apprised of King's plans (Withers is pictured on the left in the photo above). "They" have Cochran's law firm now, and his name. LISTEN to former Cochran Firm attorney Shawn Chapman Holley speak to NPR about racism and fraud against former Cochran Firm attorneys who refused to defraud black clients after Johnnie's death and were forced out of the firm by the new owners http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=12171473 (IF cyberstalkers corrupt the link, Google "Shawn Chapman Holley at NPR re Controversy at The Cochran Firm.")

MaryLovesJustice would like to extend gratitude to Don DeBar for making us aware of the latest Cochran Firm Fraud lawsuit. When "leaders" let us down, new leaders arise. When mainstream media fails to report, we look to media like Community Progressive Radio. Thanks, Don!

USDOJ Sues Mississippi Over School-to-Prison Pipeline

Photo: Juvenile Justice - Kids 4 Cash

Mentally challenged people and minorities are unjustly imprisoned at a much higher rate than others.  Maybe that will Change in Mississippi. The state's population is 36% black, but its inmate population is 75% black. The U.S. Department of Justice recently sued the State of Mississippi to close its school-to-prison pipeline. See an excerpt from an article about the lawsuit in ColorLines.com:

"Mississippi is breaking the law by violating the due process rights of kids who are getting funneled through its juvenile justice system," the Department of Justice has said. It filed a lawsuit today against the state itself, as well as the city of Meridian, Lauderdale County, and judges of the Lauderdale County Youth Court for doing exactly that.

See the entire article at this link

Children and disabled people must be able to rely on their village to protect them. It is good to see the USDOJ is fighting injustice on their behalf.

Obama Seizure of Internet Imminent via EO

I knew something was happening! (Twenty-two(22) links are in this article.) I have experienced almost net freedom at Facebook today, and I am America's most censored person. The prez is about to seize control of cyberspace to "save" us from a cyber attack http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/item/13334-obama-closer-to-seizing-control-of-cyberspace-exec-order-imminent
 

Obama Closer to Seizing Control of Cyberspace; Exec. Order Imminent

Written by  Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.

According to a copy of a draft executive order on cybersecurity obtained by the Associated Press (AP), President Obama will soon order “U.S. spy agencies to share the latest intelligence about cyberthreats with companies operating electric grids, water plants, railroads and other vital industries to help protect them from electronic attacks.”

For some time, government officials have insisted that Iran is planning a cyberattack on the electronic communications infrastructure of the United States. The AP reports that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said that the U.S. armed forces are “ready to retaliate” should Iran — or any other country — attempt an attack on U.S. cybersecurity.

Promises of the White House’s imminent issuing of the edict have been coming for months. The AP reports that regardless of the latest leak, “the White House declined to say when the president will sign the order." On September 19, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the executive order granting the president sweeping power over the Internet is “close to completion.” (Use the link above for the entire article.)

AP report on Obama's cyber security executive order http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_CYBERSECURITY_ORDER published by UTICAOD.com excerpt - The [president's executive] order has generated stiff opposition from Republicans on Capitol Hill who view it as a unilateral move that bypasses the legislative authority held by Congress. A spokeswoman for the National Security Council, Caitlin Hayden, said the administration is consulting with members of Congress and the private sector as the order is being drafted. But she provided no information on when an order would be signed. "Given the gravity of the threats we face in cyberspace, we want to get this right in addition to getting it done swiftly," she said.

Taking over the Internet may be one way to make sure there are no October Surprises like the world was promised by Donald Trump to be released. When Trump announced that he had a surprise for release on October 24 that would affect the elections, I wondered if he was hoping for a deal. Today I wonder if we got the real information Trump threatened to release. Trump's October Surprise was allegedly an announcement that Trump would give $5m to the charity of Obama's choice if Obama will release his college transcripts and applications as well as his passport records. That is interesting, but hardly the upset one would expect. People all over the world already know these documents are on lockdown while working class Americans are forced to abdicate privacy rights. On the other hand, my ebook detailing the secret arrest and murder of my mentally, physically disabled brother, Larry Neal, and the U.S. Justice Department's refusal to release documents, records, and things related to Larry's murder after helping Memphis Shelby County Jail to hide the handicapped man's lynching might cost the Dems some votes (WRONGFUL DEATH OF LARRY NEAL http://WrongfulDeathOfLarryNeal.com ). Many people would also be offended to know that The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm is a CoIntelPro operation that is used to curtail justice for its black clients. Google "COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD." Since Larry's murder cover-up began under the Bush administration and continued throughout the Obama administration, no officials or large human/civil rights organizations have been willing/able to stand against the extreme oppression I have endured over the years to keep the lynching from being broadcast widely. Donald Trump's October Surprise is reported in a Yahoo.com article at this link  
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/trump-announcement-obama-161111445--election.html

Human and civil rights advocates must all hurry to download information that might be destroyed, or put videos of police brutality and other data the government might want destroyed in a secure cloud. Google had to face congressional hearings and was sued by numerous parties on false antitrust allegations around the time that Google refused to remove certain police brutality videos from YouTube in 2011. See my article at HubPages, "LYNCHING AMERICA" at
http://marylovesjustice.hubpages.com/hub/Lynching-America
Willie Lynch, a West Indies slave master, taught Virginia slave owners the art of slave mastery in the 1700's. "Lynching" is the term applied to his techniques; it does not refer only to killing, but to the entire process of enslaving people. Lynch advised that one main requisite to successful slave mastery is to control the slaves' communication.

No Internet reports will be allowed if/when NDAA concentration camp round-ups begin.  SOPA, PIPA, and CISPA indicated the elite have had enough of our "net freedom." Those bills meant, "SHUT UP, AMERICA." Passing NDAA meant, "Dammit, we mean it!" The Marshal Law Executive Order (National Defense Resources Preparedness Order, signed in May 2012) gives the White House control over all the nation's communication. See it at this link
