Judge for yourself!!! Would you use this so called attorney???
A lawyer has been charged with impersonating his next-door neighbors, and creating fake Web pages advertising sexual services from the neighbors' home.
Franklin Casco Jr., 49, pleaded not guilty in to 10 felonies, including one count each of conspiracy and stalking, as well as four counts of identity theft. If convicted, he faces up to nine years in prison.

Police claim to have tracked IP addresses for the individuals who created the websites to Casco's firm, but were unable too identify the users or the specific computers.
The neighbors who remain unidentified in court documents are suing Casco and Cardenas.in May the neighbors were on vacation when they got a call from a guard at their gated community. A man was at the gate, and said he made an appointment with the wife, according to the civil lawsuit.
The neighbors found that someone created a fake MySpace account about them, which included a cropped photo of the wife, pornographic language, photographs and rap music...
"The page falsely portrays 'Jane Doe' (a psychologist) as a swinger 'and' porn star, who loves to star in 'pornographic movies, '

The false postings resulted in numerous calls and e-mails from different men who wanted to have sex with Jane Doe. The family has moved out of their home for fear of sexual predators
