into a serious matter. Nonetheless it ought to give the Membersof the Bar lots to chew on this weekend.
Upon delivering the first letter contained here and calling theother office about my concerns I waited almost one week for aresponse from them before going forward with my matter. I knowthey don’t love me but they should have called or written to me toeffect some sort of amends. I am not an unreasonable man and Ican understand a mistake or a misunderstanding. I did not set outto torture them but merely to seek justice. Apparently they thinkI am bluffing so the cards must fall where they may. I am callingthem out with the second letter.
Mar. 19,2002 John W. MarshalAssistant Bar Council75 Federal StreetBoston, MA 02110Mr. Marshal please do not permit yourself to think of this as any sort ofpersonal attack. I believe that as The Assistant Bar Council you are actingunder this rule:
Section 7.The Bar Counsel
(7) may delegate any duties or functions to a duly appointed assistant acting under his or her generalsupervision.
I assume that you are fulfilling his desires therefore I must take up thematter with him.
Section 2.2Contents of Grievance
Each grievance relating to alleged misconduct of a lawyer shall be in writing and signed by the complainantand shall contain a brief statement of the facts upon which the grievance is based. Verifications of thegrievance shall not be required. If necessary, Bar Counsel will assist the complainant in reducing thegrievance to writing.
Section 2.3Distribution of Grievance Forms
Bar Counsel shall furnish forms to each person who requests one. Such forms also may be made availableto the public through the offices of the clerks of court in each county and through such other offices as may be designated by the Board.
It has been over two months since I first notified the Bar Council of mydesire to file a complaint. As of yet I have not even seen the form.
