Hi, My name is Lisa, I am now a 31 year old Female and have a LD, I agree with others the Vocational rehabs don’t help, the Occupational isn’t much better and when you do disclose your Disabilities at the appropriate times your ignored or thwarted as a liar a fraud or making excuses. I also suffer from numerous Physical Disabilites, I do not like to be referred to as disabled and have refused to collect any type of Government Assistence until I can no longer function. I have long denied my Physical and Mental Deficits since they began at 17 (1988 MVA) and have progressed (1992 MVA). My story is long and will someday become public record, hey maybe even a guide line on how the Court system should Not treat a Disabled individual. I suffer from Documented Dementia, Cognitive (LD), visual - Spatial, Navigational, etc… Physically I have Anklosing Spondylothesis, Peripherial, Ulnar, Median Nerve Damage, RA/OA Arthritis, Siatica, Carpal Tunnel, TMJ, etc…and a slew of other Medical Garble. My plead for help as brief as possible, I live 4-5 Hours 9 - 10 with my documented medical conditions which require for every 30 minutes of sitting I must walk for 30 minutes Physically Handicap ID issued in1991. I have hired Lawyers, they all agree I have gotten the “Shaft”, I was deemed a patsy, a scapegoat for Political endevor (Flea Market issue it is a joke), I was falsely incarcerated do to a Lawyers failure to notify my Official Transportation Provider or Myself for a Court Hearing, Held in Contempt a Prison facility for two days, refused medical attention, medications, facility on purpose. A prior Judge told the Lawyer if Written Norice was not sent he would be incarcerated, this never happened, I was Incarcerated for driving myself though not Legally able to the court hearing as he phoned at 1:00 AM yes AM on Mon morning for a 10:00 AM Case. I was forced to drive myself or have a bench warrant issued, upon arriving 25 - 35 minutes late I was subsequently arrested and held in a Prision with real criminals, murders, robbers, etc… I was incarcerated without Commital Papers as the Judge forgot to sign them and the Prison did not want to accept me after. That lawyers gone and his boss the original Lawyer hired phones a new lawyer to file a suit for misrepresentation and the appeal, yet it never happened and the appeal was filed with some off the wall reasons about the Prosecutor misrepresenting himself not defense council. I am Rambling, long story short, The Judge refused to release prior court Transcripts or Orders and has openingly to Newspapers and on record stated I do not see Nothing Physically or Mentally wrong with this women she can find a way here. Numerous Doctors sent letters of my Physical Condition and Thwarted as falsified Documents by myself, The Doctors were each phoned and the conversations were supposedly recorded by a Court Transcriber with my new Lawyer present. The Doctors recommended I file with the Department of Justice and other agencys. I attempted to do so but Legal Cousil said the case would be overturned and all Legal Action against the Common wealth and the Judge would take place then. Guess what the Lawyer did not win, I am Deteriorating more rapidly without treatments, my 41/2 year old son is living with his 65 year old grandparents and I try to be with him as much as possible. I need Help, I need a group or groups that can help me fight for my Freedom and Rights, I also need a new Pennsylvaina Lawyer to file my Judicial compaints and Misrepresentation by Council claims. This is not even half of it this began in 1999, I have been Defunct since 2000. I need help, I need an advocate, I am Disabled with State ID in 1991.
Re: I NEED LEGAL INTERVENTION
How about the ACLU? Perhaps they’d champion your cause. There’s a book called public sector that should have the address & phone number of your states’s office of judicial misconduct. Your judge sounds like an evil scumbag. Have you ever considered some “do it yourself justice”? The system is rigged. Sounds like you had the best judge money could buy. Do you think the national media would be interested in you saga? It would be cool if you could get some famous lawyer like Jerry Spence or Gloria Allred. Good luck, and may all those who wronged you get rectal cancer.
Re: I NEED LEGAL INTERVENTION
Thank You Ball and Amyf, I was over whelmed with gratitude upon reading your thoughts, Thank You. I have filed two Complaints with the ACLU regarding Judicial Misconduct and Misrepresentation by Defense Council During the ordeal. I was told to not jump to conclusions and allow the Justice System to Prevail at which time I was supposed to be Vindicated and Exhonerated, that was over two years ago, I have lost faith in the “Justice System” and do not know how much of this Political Game I can endure. Year the Judge was the best money could buy, over $15,000 to the first deliberate incompetant, contractual breaching, ill gotten, two faced lawyer, $5,000 to the lawyer the prevois lawyer referred to to represent in a “Misrepresentation of Council and his own firm, and to file an Appeal for the case” as he “was unawre of the situation and conduct his associate had produced”. $2,500 to the Federal Specialist who was never formally invied to represent me on my appeal yet referred to in phone and letters as “on the case”, my NJ ADA Lawyer could not help as “the letter Mr. sent me is not legally binding to allow me to work in PA on your behalf”. We call it Life with Lisa. A little more then I’ll have to walk. The Flea Market complain originated from “a well known Elderly women with family high within the County Prosecutors Office, we never would have arrested you, you have all the proper licenses and documents to be here” after the women argued with the Philadelphia Flea Market owners the Local Police and her family member “high within the County” approximatley 3 hours later I “was not under arrest at this time but rather being transfered to the Police Station until the DA’s office Decides whether or not to charge you and exactly with what” this was at like 7 AM I was finally charged at approximatly 3:30 PM, they were fully aware of my Physical and Mental Disabilities as I provided my State Handicap ID and requested Medical attention and proper facilities, they were denied and I was subsequently strip searched and had a body cavity search performed which I believe they video tape, I explained my medical condition and medications they did not care I was not a Person trying to make a Legally licensed and regulated living at a flea market I was some sort of “Trophy, Brownie Points” for the Elderly women and the Bensalem Officer. The Bensalem Police Officer did not agree with arresting me and continually expressed this during Court hearings, since he was the “arresting officer” he could not be dispirsed from the case rather he was over whelmed with Officers who werent even involved or associated what so ever with the case. The “Well known Elderly Women” Whom miraculously disappeared after she waved and yelled at me inside the Bensalem PD and became an Anonymous complaintant, rumored the “Judges Wife”. I Ramble and Ramble and Ramble but I never say any thing, there is so much to say. The ACLU will probable help me at this point but I am Afraid, confusued, Paranoid and what ever else you wanna call it. I Am Not A Criminal, I am an Handicappied American Women, Wife, Mother, Catalist, Business Owner and Operator or at least I used to be, when I was Free. The case has been tampered with since the begining, Merchandise inside of the Vehicle was Suppressed and was ordered returned prior to Trial to avoid cross contamination with the Flea Market Merchandise, this never happened and everything was presented to the Jury, this was not it though lets see the Prosecutor ripped pages out of a “Intact Yellow Legal Tabet” from the Flea Market table and presented a few ripped out pages a month later rather than the “Intact Yellow Legal Tablet”, what else I was incarcerated for two days while the trial proceeded my lawyer not showing up, and sending a “fill in” that never notified my self or my official transportation provider as the “June 06 and June 26 Judges Court Orders depicted or he would be the one with the bench warrant and going to jail not Lisa. Hey any one looking for the movie of the week or a book deal HAHA I try to stay sane by making jokes about my situation. But the fact is with my current situation I am rapidly Degenerating and fear my now 41/2 year old son who was 2 when this began will be affected in the long term. I cry as he crys to be with his Mommy, I’ve tried to explain we have to wait the Justice System will Exhonerate Mommy, the bad people won’t let Mommy come home, now with all financial sources exhausted I try to explain Mommy has to complete her paperwork and he has to be patient my 4 year old says he is “tired of being Patient at being Patient, when are you going to finish your paperwork”. We initiall at 2 1/2 years plo told him the new house was being fixed up for him so he had to stay with MeMom & Pop Pop (Grand ma/Pa), this was true to a point but now the old fixer upper I had purchased with Balloon Payments is being broken into, destoyed, and looted rather than being fixed up for my son and families future, I sold off what Stocks remained after 911 to make the 2002 ballon payment another 2003 balloon payment will be due and I am unable to make it, the house will be forcloused on and I will have nothing left what so ever. This is Life with Lisa. LATER GUYS.
PS who is Jerry Spence and Gloria Allred? any phone number or email, I’m really scarred guys. Ball in 1996 the NJDVR New Jersey Division Of Vocational Rehabilitation deterrmined my Mental and Physical Deficits are so detrimental I would never be able to function as a business owner and the would be glad to offer occupational education as a cashier or something, I be came resentful and began a retail store that catered to people in search of an alternative from the every day norm, I have been accepted and awarded accomidations from the FDA and local Government and Police Officials in New Jersey, I addmit I was at fault for going to Pennsylvaina, but I am not at fault for the Commonwealths denial and Ignorance of a Federally regulated Handicapped operated Alternative Business. I have not even hit the surface it just feels soooo good to vent even if I am venting to my self, Thank You for reading this, Any help is appriciated, a brief synopsis can be composed if ya know someone who might red it and actually help me, everything and more is documented by a Paper trail left by the Commonwealth. This is a Civil Rights, ACLU, ADA and who everelse wants a piece of it case. The Hermit has left the building, or when this all began my supporters used to call me their “Fearless Leader” Bullwinkle and Rocky cartoon and gave me a key chain which I still have, Well their “Fearless Leader” is now 31 was 28 when it began and I’m scarred and need someone to lead me.It’s a Pity Party, One Two Three AAAAAWWWWWWWW. LATER I have no idea what I have typed. Thank You.
Re: I NEED LEGAL INTERVENTION
I just looked up on the banner thing above and in the part called ‘finding help’ I looked at state resources, clicked on PA on the map, scrolled down, there is a disability law firm with email. Check them out and see if they can help.
Re: I NEED LEGAL INTERVENTION
Thank You Amyf, I have placed numerous phone calls today. Not much progress, see I live in NJ but have a Penns issue. Tomorrow some Lawyers in NJ are suppose to help me who represent those with Physical Disabilities, their supposed to help or refer me to someone in Penns that can help. See I have a ADA lawyer in NJ Pro Bono no problem I need that Penns Lawyer to invite her on to the case so they can fight the fight together plus cover the Appeals asspect and th eJudicial Misconduct and Defense Misrepresentation. Thank you I’ll keep you informed or may be I’ ll end up on FOX UNDERCOVER or 20/20 (HAHA). At least every time someone hears my story they all agree I Am A “Political Prisoner” I’m the Scapegoat, a Patsy, lets take advantage of the Weak and Febile no one gives a crap anyway, well thank you again, Do you know who Gloria Allred or Jerry Spence are? I searched the Internet but I’m only coming up with home addresses and phone numbers no group or Lawers named that. I be a Rambling and am afraid I have revealed too much about myself already. Thank You. LATER Amyf, LISA.
Re: I NEED LEGAL INTERVENTION
Don’t know about Jerry Spence, but Gloria Allred is a high profile lawer in CA, off course my add brain can’t remember who she represented but it was a discriminatory case (sexual discrimination or harassment or such like that). I guess I was thinking that the PA folks could maybe help out, maybe work with your NJ folks. I sure hope things get worked out. Hey maybe you can get on 20/20? Talk to your lawyer. This really should be known about I think. Best wishes.
Re: I NEED LEGAL INTERVENTION
Ball,
Gerry Spence Said he couldn’t help me from where hes at. I think the Media might be the only was to get a Lawyer or Firm to Stand up and Help. My biggest problem is with the Dementia I never Complete anything. I have noticed it progressing more, I can’t even remember what I’m doing while in the Middle of Doing it, let alone complete a synopsis. The Doctors ordered home assistence last year but being on my own prevents any assistance Knowingly. The Common Wealth of Pennsylvaina is like Quebuec they make their own rules with their own people of power, well at least thats how Doylestown seems to be Controlled just more openly. Ever noticed Doylestown is in the Media at least 6 out of 7 days a week, I wonder why nuts like to live their? Sorry venting, see ya, if I can remembe where ya’at.
LATER, LISA
Re: I NEED LEGAL INTERVENTION
New york is a toilet too. Unfortunately sometime you win sometimes you lose. A lot of people have been screwed blue by the system. Judges and lawyers are the devil incarnate. People don’t hate them for know reason. It may comfort you to know that they have short life spans. They sit on their butts all day. They eat and drink like pigs. They snort way too much coke and they have a lot of enemies. They have bad karma. Spence is probably ok. What did the ACLU tell you? The consevatives really bash the ACLU. They have good reason even though most conservative are NAZI the ACLU is wack but they may help you if they think it will further their cause whatever that is. Good luck and try to have fun. Think of the day when your reading that bastard judges obituary. Maybe you can piss on his grave.
Re: I NEED LEGAL INTERVENTION
BALL,
ACLU says file another complaint, they should help this time. Three times a charm you know. When I finally finish this Complaint everyone getting it though, the ACLU, ADA, Department of Justice, MEDIA and any other Organization or Group I can find that is somehow related to ‘disabled individuals’ be it Mentally or Physically. Ball if you have some organizations in mind I’m listening. Only problem if the Judge drops dead I’ll truly never be VINDICATED. I don’t understand how the Constitution and Bill of Rights were formed in Pennsylvania but Doylestown does not have to Honor them. Did I tell you in my long explaination that during Jury selection the Judge says he sees a couple friends but it don’t disqualify them and at the same time I’m tellin the little law student that Jury RB was in my store last week and he refuses to take him off the Jury, little more cooberation on the Common Wealth? Its deep man, if I ever get it out it should make a mini-series or movie of the week.
LATER, LISA
Re: I NEED LEGAL INTERVENTION
I wish I could be more helpful. There will be vindication when the judge frys for eternity. If he’s like the judges in my area he has a lot of skeletons in his closet. You are probably not the only person he’s screwed with. Gather info on him.
Re: I NEED LEGAL INTERVENTION
Just a question for everyone. I frequent other Forums more than here but no one seems to Post that offen here, does everyone have other preferred sites for discussion?
First let me say that your experience makes me so angry it makes my stomach hurt just reading.
There are resources here on this website, LDA of America comes to mind first, that perhaps can help guide you to other resources that will help you in your struggle. Look up disability organizations in your phone book. Even the county ones might be able to help. Look up disability org.s that aren’t related to your specific disabilities, their resources may still be able to help. I am thinking of ARC and the deaf/blind org.s , try everyone.
My thoughts and prayers go with you. My mother in law has physical disabilities that aren’t readily visible, people argue with her when she parks in a handicapped space, with her legal sticker and placard even.
