In 1997 Ronald aka "Ronnie" Raben was sued by Smith Barney for securities fraud. See Austin business journal article: http://www.bizjournals.com/austin/stories/1997/04/14/newscolumn1.html? T=printable

Did you know Ronald Raben is NOT licensed to practice law in the state of Texas? However, Raben advertised his services under the on-line directory for attorneys at the web site www.findlaw.com until his advertisement for legal services was shut down.

Has Ronald Raben provided any legal counsel to you, drafted up any contracts between you and Buell, and/or has he accepted any money for legal services?

If so then this is called "unauthorized practice of law".
You can file a complaint with the "Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee" via web site at: www.txuplc.org

Have you been made to sign over your mechanic's lien construction loan contract to Buell?

Did you know that you cannot sign over or make any changes to your contract without the consent of your bank/lender?

Did you know that most deed of trust loan documents include clauses, such as: Merger.
There shall be no merger of the interest or estate created by this Contract with any other interest or estate in the Property at any time held by or for the benefit of the Beneficiary in any capacity, without the written consent of the Beneficiary (this is the bank/lender)

Did you know that Mike Kelly personally hand-picked and intentionally sought out Buell to fill in his shoes in the summer of 2006 and carry on with the Ponzi real-estate investment scheme, at your enormous expense, of course, see related scheme information:

96-1026 Disposition Summary

*summary* by supreme court judgment and order dated march 11,1997, ronald j. Raben of 4000 rockledge drive, austin, texas, was disbarred and assessed costs incurred by the state bar in the amount of $159.00 together with interest at the legal rate from the date of the judgment in a reciprocal discipline proceeding pursuant to rule 58 of the arizona rules of the supreme court. Raben voluntarily surrendered his license in missouri in 1990 in lieu of facing disciplinary charges arising out of allegations that he "perpetrated such violations of the rules of professional conduct including fraud upon his clients and upon his partners so that he became a defendant in several multi-million dollar lawsuits." raben was disbarred by the supreme court of missouri on march 13,1990. The state bar of missouri sent a copy of the supreme court of missouri 's order to the state bar of arizona in may of 1996. Upon receipt of the order, the disciplinary commission entered an order requiring raben or the state bar to state grounds, if any, as to why identical discipline in arizona would not be appropriate. Raben objected and the state bar argued reciprocal discipline would be appropriate. The disciplinary commission determined reciprocal discipline was appropriate based upon the terms of respondent's voluntary surrender and the fact that raben did not notify the state bar of arizona of the action taken in missouri.

Docket Update
Investment firms tangle; IPC sued over alleged debt
Austin Business Journal - April 11,1997
by Daryl Janes

A Missouri corporation operating in Austin as an investment company is being sued by a national investment house incorporated in Delaware. Smith Barney Inc. Is suing CHR Investment Number Two Inc. And Ronnie Raben alleging the defendants have "deficit balance" with Smith Barney. "This is an action on a liquidated debt, " the suit alleges. "As a result of unsuccessful investments made by CHR, CHR has a deficit balance in its account with Smith Barney in the amount of $307,577."

The suit alleges the debt is "liquidated and noncontingent... And unpaid."

The suit also alleges Raben "commingled his personal assets with the corporate assets of CHR [and] accordingly, under theories of alter ego and piercing the corporate veil, Raben is personally liable to Smith Barney for the full amount of CHR's debt."

Attorneys for Smith Barney are William B. Steele III in the Austin office of Locke Purnell Rain Harrell, and Bradley W. Foster in the firm's Dallas office. (Cause No. 9703580,98th Judicial District, Travis County.)
Steele declined to comment on the suit or on an application for writ of garnishment filed against Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith Inc. And Sanford C. Bernstein & Co.inc.

The writ alleges, "CHR does not possess property in Texas subject to execution that is sufficient to satisfy... The debt, " but "maintains one or more accounts with Merrill Lynch" and with "Bernstein's branch office in West Palm Beach, Fla." against which Smith Barney seeks garnishment.

(Cause No. 9703581,126th Judicial District, Travis County.)
