Complaint / Review
Erwin Martinkus & Cole
Unethical attorneys

I worked for Erwin Martinkus & Cole.

(1) They began me being an employee after which after 7 weeks changed me allegedly to a completely independent company under an unwritten weird payment program. The Shape 1099 established all the cash I introduced however in truth the unwritten program triggered regulations company to consider 50% off the most effective after which any companion who understood the customer before me might get 10-20%. But I had been likely to spend home empl0yment duty about the whole quantity. I had been prohibited to consider low-company careers. Ok, I understand I had been no independent company. But no body might pay attention to me at that time. I actually employed a CPA to assist me.

(2) Lawyer Companion Lynne Feldman required that I participate in exactly the same exercise that she did. Which was - getting $35-$40 from mainly low-Language speaking immigration customers. She informed the customers (in a written agreement) the quantity was a misc quantity for shipping and duplication! Bologna. She usually charged the customers individually for that quantity anyhow. & most customers didn't speak Language and thus it exercised market for Lynne Feldman.

In fact, Lynne Feldman set the total amount within an inner lawyer consideration and employed the cash (tax-free) for books and excursions. Lawyer Feldman really required that I take part in the plan. I told her number. She explained that she'd not I would like to utilize her authorized assets since I *could* get my very own easily just charged the customers the additional cash and began an interior, tax free account.

I went right to the elderly companion and informed him that I believed the exercise was only plain dishonest and illegitimate. Briefly there-after the companions had some conferences with my assistant. Subsequently, I essentially got put up, Our assistant understood I got an anti-anxiety medication (Buspar). Our assistant understood cash was restricted for e. She stated she no further required the RX and he or she provided it in my experience at no cost. I acknowledged.

Soon afterwards, the company requested me to depart.

I couldn't get unemployment insurance (since the company stated I had been a completely independent company). I'd a large tax loan for outstanding self-employment taxes since the quantity the company stated I received (about the 1099) was merely a portion of what I really obtained. Another lawyers that obtained areas of my bills evidently weren't paying fees about the quantities.

It took 7 years for me personally to truly have the government create a page judgment in my own benefit and against Erwin, Martinkus lawyer. The government informed regulations company to prevent the exercise of managing associate lawyers as workers and spending in certain complex and unwritten payment strategy. The government informed regulations company (particularly among its companions, Mike Brown, JD, CPA to document a W2. It wasn't completed. Additionally, regulations company nevertheless hasn't led to my social security consideration. Meanwhile, I'm still battling concerning the tax loan (which was centered on self-employment fees that I never really owed.

I complained about Mike Brown, JD, CPA after I was going right through national safety settlement since Lawyer Brown lied about me towards the government. Lawyer Mike Brown lied towards the government when he mentioned that I had been employed like a paralegal! That declaration was dishonest since it was designed to fool the government.

Lynne Feldman continued to frighten me after I quit the lawyer. I began my very own lawyer (as best I really could) and required a lot of my previous company customers. The Erwin Martinkus company held receiving me money cash for customer documents as well as for depositions that I required for additional companionis instances (huh? Why?) which was hit of Companion Rick Martinkus to achieve that in my experience. It had been all really violent.

Little ole me reported concerning the Erwin Martinkus lawyer and Lynne Feldman towards the Illinois Lawyer and Enrollment Fee (IARDC). The following point that I understood there is *no* analysis against Lynne Feldman or even the Erwin Martinkus lawyer.instead, the forces were after me. As well as their star witness against me was Lynne Feldman.

As luck might have it, actually period some of my customers had an issue or issue, Lynne Feldman was immediately to inform the customer what she considered me! Lawyer Feldman was the main witness against me. And my very own defense lawyer (William Moran, Esq from Springfield) wouldn't allow me state any protection and sometimes even issue Lawyer Lynne Feldman by what determination she'd have in testifying against me.

I get stopped in the exercise of regulation since I really could not manage the rigors of the personal single proprietorship lawyer which was forced into me after being dismissed broke. I experienced 3 needless and uncomfortable orthopedic operations from Carle Hospital orthopedic doctor Bob Weighs, doctor. I tried very difficult to carry on my law training while hurt since I didn't wish to fail my customers. Actually, some customers were really dissatisfied (like Martha Gonzales). Ms. Gonzales required to my mother that she must-see me the night following the surgery, The surgery was declining and thus was I. Bad Ms Gonzales didn't understand. I had been not about creating excuses to her. SHe earned my interest and that I allow her along,

Fundamentally, I had been stopped in the exercise of law since I really could not match the exercise of regulation. The ARDC mentioned that I really could make an application for re instatement in January.

However, I'm unable to obtain a "actual work" which bothyers my lawyer.in the place of a genuine work, I experienced my very own therapy for invasive breast cancer (April June) and today I'm the main care-giver for my aged father that has Phase 4 colon cancer (fulfilled to liver). Father has dementia and it is incontinent. It's my work to wash him when required. I also supply him and push him to all or any chemo and treatment appts.

I also work on my motheris household company to be able to provide her a rest and also to create enough cash for medical health insurance. Our new atty (to obtain the law permit back) claims that I have to display I'm rehabilitated and healthy to apply law. And, though I've proven no indication of despair or every other psychological ailment since I have ceased managing using the "poor physician, " my new doctor (aka my supporter?) says the reality I don't possess a "actual work" suggests that I'm financially irresponsible.

Ok, meanwhile, lawyers like Lynne Feldman and Mike Brown have lied and altered the government and harmless customers. And my first disciplinary defense lawyer wouldn't I would like to create any protection or provide any clarification for my conduct. Additionally, William Moran, III wouldn't I would like to provide my proof of volunteer work, pro-bono work and also the great legitimate work I'd completed prior to the amount of despair. Lkegally, which was only plain bad advice.

I needed to be always a lawyer since I believed the occupation was a for individuals to assist other individuals who are susceptible and can't support themselves. What happened to my occupation?
