No single profession attracts the ire of Barbadians like lawyers. On a daily basis For example, we often hear complaints about lawyers taking unreasonably long periods of time to transfer monies from clients accounts to their clients. The complaints come from Barbadians living overseas who having entrusted life long savings (pensions) to lawyers to settle various transactions in absentia or Barbadians on the rock who have no choice but to take on the stress of the legal system to process routine transactions.
The Bar Association (BA) has done little to assuage the concerns by Barbadians that it is an efficient self regulating body. Suggestions to include ordinary folks on the BA’s Disciplinary Committee has not met with a favourable response. There is a sense lawyers and by extension the legal system has the country in a vice grip headlock. Where are ordinary citizens to turn for justice if the Court System, its trusted officers (lawyers) and the BA continue to NOT satisfactorily resolve concerns from citizenry?
BU accepts bad apples are to be found in all professions – doctors, engineers, construction class, bankers and the list is very long. However, what cannot be denied is the ‘omnipresence’ nature of the legal profession on our little society. What cannot be denies is the right of Barbadians to assign priority to issues affecting them as they think fit. The time for citizens, ordinary and others, to fight back.

@ Donna
I understand your point about ‘young people not respecting police officers.’
Remember, Bennett is not a police officer, he’s a civilian…….. ‘who should know better.’
It’s ironic the former Inspector of Police who was attached to the Drug Squad for several years, has been arrested, charged & remanded for crimes he previously arrested and charged and, as an attorney, currently represents people for committing.
I remember him being promoted through the ranks from a Police Constable to Station Sargeant to Inspector.
I’m sure his former colleagues are very disappointed.

This kind of article is a waste of time.
Allowing more than a decade to pass and then having a trial.
What the client wants he)she will never get – their money back.
Summary
Bullshit
Pissing on people legs and telling them it is raining.
These trials are what Trinidadians call a pappyshow.
It would appear that given the age of the lawyer they system lords we’re waiting for the lawyer to die.
Bank accounts should have been frozen so that the money could not be transferred (laundered) or spent.
Any trial that does return the victim’s money is an injustice.
Then they have this sham fund that will give the victim a pittance of what he/she lost.
What a horrible and vicious scam for a system.
After doing some digging, it appears the author of the blogmaster’s favorite editorial should be in list of rogues.

https://thevincentian.com/lawyers-on-trial-p5813-110.htm
There’s an underlying fear of working hard, putting it together, returning home and running into a group of crooks. They have one intention and that is to separate you from your money.
The fear of return to a garden of Eden infested with snakes.
And institutions which are supposed to protect then go through a mind numbing charade of doing something… t’s are crossed, i’s are dotted and at the end of it you are still not whole; nothing was done; justice was not served; just pretense; a sick and crooked game.
For now – the last word
There are small and easy fixes that can be made but no one cares to make them. There are the low hanging fruits that everyone refuse to pick.
It is as if we have irremovable wickedness wired into our system; as if there is a fear to excise these rotten parts and make ourselves better.
We have become insensitive to the suffering of others and would defend a system that would victimize us if our circumstances change. We are either prey, victims or scared onlookers.
There are the useless tasks that we pursue with great vigor. We invest our energy in replacing one word by another little realizing that the power and symbolism of words lies in how strongly they are etched in our minds.
We cannot remove them from the dictionary and ceremonies cannot exercise them from our minds.
There is the belief that we must all sing in unison, raise our voices in praise and ignore the flaws that are readily apparent.

From what I have seen here I am putting my money in the monkey’s.
I am expecting to hear lynch’s lawyer go down the road of lynch not being of sound mind in the past years
Reason why his memory is out of sync with all that has happened
Are these cases anything more than money washing? Lawyer A steals a client’s money and washes it by paying legal fees to lawyer B over an extended trial.
How can judges let these robberies continue by p retending to hold trials? Can these judges be thought of as honest when they allow sham trial after sham trial? By now, even a fool can see there is no justice for the victims.
How deep is this long running scam? Is it just two lawyers washing a client’s money between them or are the judges jut a guilty?
It is only when we stop taking things at face value, try to see the bigger picture and ask tough question that we will see things as they really are.
How long will we allow this sham to continue. Victims are being victimized thrice, by a shady lawyer, by his crooked defense lawyer and by a shady court.
I admire those who can move from post to post and maintain a serious train of thought.
It is difficult to see these charades and not find gallows humor in them. It is difficult to watch wealth being transferred by every scheme that man can invent ranging from outright thievery to brilliant ideas of J-Bonds and to see outrageous taxation followed by redistribution of taxes that were collected.
One blogger constantly speaks of generational poverty, but to not understand that what we are witnesses is wickedness and the transfer of money form one pocket to a favored pocket is a sign of our ignorance.
It takes a special kind to come here aware of the mockery others make of us and pretend to hold serious conversations.
All is broken.

Main topic. TIEFING LAWYERS
Hants,
It is boring. This is an issue where solutions are known. The best approach is to separate the client fund and the lawyer as far and as soon as possible.
Now they are ‘introducing’ a next layer and more paperwork. Papering over the problem.
A problem no one wants to solve
The worst kind of dishonesty is when people pretend to solve a problem and in reality do nothing.
It is not only dishonest, it is an insult to the average Barbadian.
Two or three honest lawyers going on the radio is a cover-up for dishonest lawyers. The show sickens me.
I am willing to bet that if we had two or three one-armed lawyers by the end of the year, this problem would be resolved quickly.
Compensation fund is a scam. Does not make a person whole
Audit is a waste of time. Horse bolted, why look in the stall.
All nonsense.
The compensation fund is not meant to make a claimant whole.
With one arm, they can only be one armed.
I know four honest lawyers in Barbados.
“The compensation fund is not meant to make a claimant whole.”
That is exactly my point. If you take $5 from me, then I want back $5 (at least).
Don’t smile and give me a check for 50 cents.
That’s a game. It’s a fancy scam.
Do a search of BU for compensation fund. The purpose of the fund and how it is managed should be separated.
Sad.
Is that what we have come to?

Now we have that being locked out of a building (twice), being unable to unlock your door and getting assistance from several individuals:to enter the building and your office is nothing more than an active imagination….
“the Honourable Chief Justice allegedly in response to the reports that Justice Richards had been locked out: “She never was and is not locked out and the judge is not in her room. I can attest to that.”
I have to read 1984 again. Eventually, they will proclaim her mad.

“On the day observed as the start of the legal year, Smith-Millar told Barbados TODAYthe association would continue to closely monitor the situation at the court and the impact of ten new judges on the number of outstanding cases languishing in the judicial system. “We are extremely pleased that we have more judges on board to deal with the backlog as well as being able to spread the load perhaps a bit better now that they are more of them and bring court matters to a faster conclusion.

Attorney found guilty, remanded to Dodds

New York (CNN)Disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti was sentenced to four years in prison for stealing nearly $300,000 from his former client, adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
District Judge Jesse Furman said Avenatti’s conduct was “so brazen and egregious” adding, he “took advantage of a vulnerable victim given her unorthodox career and somewhat unorthodox beliefs.”
Avenatti was convicted in February of one count of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. He faced as much as 20 years on the wire fraud charge and a mandatory two-year sentence for aggravated identity theft.

“association takes steps to disbar convicted lawyers”
@ Hants
What disbar convicted lawyers what??!!
This is just the usual bull shit that is to be expected from an profession where it has become undeniable that stealing from clients is ENDEMIC.
ANYONE who hires a lawyer who has already been convicted of thief, DESERVES what they will get.
The REAL issue, and what the Bar Association SHOULD be addressing, is protecting the public from those lawyers NOT YET CONVICTED, but from whom the public needs protection.
The way to do this is to be PROACTIVE with complaints received, be transparent with investigations, and to POLICE the ongoing activities of their peers.

Have you ever misread something and gave yourself a laugh… I read “to repay” as “to enjoy” and had to read it twice.”
“THE COURT has been urged to give convicted attorney Ernest Winston Jackman a suspended sentence and the opportunity to repay ̶e̶n̶j̶o̶y̶ the remainder of more than $600 000 he stole from a client 15 years ago.”
Obviously the man has a good lawyer. I want a lawyer that is willing to admit he/she may be telling a lie (“subject to correction”)
“But I dare to say his case is different. I talk subject to correction, but I don’t think any of the other lawyers who appeared before these courts, any of them made any effort at all to repay any of the money,”
Let me commend the blogmaster for his approach in handling the other matter.
Silly me. To be honest, I was not aware of the passion that he felt on those issues as I thought he was just phoning it in. He may be more measured than some of us, does not wear his emotions on his sleeve, but the concern is genuine.
I must also agree with Lorenzo ( Lawd, help me), The blogmaster needs to be careful when these matters come to his attention.
A phrase to keep in mind “No good deed goes ununished”. Keep up the good work.
For those who had difficulty with the word ununished I meant eunuch 🙂
Typo Tuesday
Laugh of the day
CONVICTED ATTORNEY Ernest Winston Jackman says he is willing to repay the outstanding balance of the money he stole from HEJ Ltd more than ten years ago.
But to do so, he said, he needed to be out of prison
+++++++++++
He had the opportunity to repay the money during the ten years when he was out of prison, now he wants out of jail so he can repay the funds.
At least he has some contrition for his actions not like a couple of the most recent who have denied, denied, denied, one even had character witnesses appearing on her behalf, and the other who was suffering from early onset “dementia” as he couldn’t remember where the money had gone.
Time for a lawyers’ wing at Dodds, may I suggest “Sticky fingers Chambers”
TheO,
That is what I have been trying to tell you all for a while. Yet the slings shots and arrows keep coming.
Re Ernest Jackman, I wonder what his victim would prefer. However, I wonder how Jackman intends to earn the funds for repayment, considering that no-one would hire him in Barbados as an attorney ever again and he is 67 years of age. I wonder if he has property he can sell and why it would not have already been sold.

From BT (same article)
“One of the challenges that we face is that we have a very small criminal bar. There are a few specific lawyers who specialise and who are most sought after in criminal cases. There are very important criminal cases that cannot be heard simply because those lawyers are already involved in other cases that are either pending or scheduled. There is a murder case that for me is of vital importance in Barbados but because of the unavailability of the lawyer, time and time again it gets moved down,”
https://barbadosbarassociation.com/members_directory.cfm
I believe that there are over 105 criminal lawyers (mistakenly referred to as Criminal Defense Attorneys).
Is that too few criminal lawyers? It appears that clients select from a small subset of these criminal lawyers.
Can you imagine being in the B group, getting a case and then a large settlement. As days of plenty may be few and far between, you have to keep the client’s money in your possession.

“In addition to the overseas activity, what has been discovered is that family members of persons who reside in the island are getting onboard now and facilitating the movement of firearms from one jurisdiction to our jurisdiction and that is [of] some concern to us.
“That is something that must be called out, something that must be highlighted and action taken against, because once we identify those persons then our partners will work with us and we will bring that situation under control,” Boyce said during a press conference on Friday afternoon at the police’s Roebuck Street headquarters.

I must say that on a daily basis we are recovering firearms. Currently we are at 75 firearms in recovery and when we compare that to just 36 or so that were recovered last year that is a tremendous divide between last year’s recovery and this year’s recovery.
“So our inputs, our tactics are working in terms of recovery of firearms and that is something that is ongoing and we intend to continue that for a very, very long time,” Boyce said.
*** What is he saying here? Stop the victory lap.
Reductio ad absurdum.
Let us assume that one year there are 360oo illegal guns and he recovered 36. The next year he recovers 75? On the surface he doubled the number of guns captured, but the problem has been made worse as there are a few more thousand guns floating around. Stop beating your chest and taking a victory lap.
From BT
“In terms of persons who are getting engaged in this firearms issue, what we discovered is that they are persons who are well known to each other; persons who would have gone to school together, persons who as we would say, pitched marbles together, travelled on school buses together, these are the persons who are against each other’s throats.

This is absolute madness. This woman should be pernamently disbarred from the legal profession. If convicted she should deservedly entitled to 10 – 15 years in prison and all her possessions, assets seized and returned to the claimant.
What is interesting is that the conviction does not automatically debar her or any lawyer for that matter. There is a separate process the Bar has to bring.
Really!… One would think that the Law Society would have covered up this loophole in its constitution to deter lawyers from the abuse and misuse of clients funds. Mindful enough where imperiling the financial welfare of clients who seek his /her representation can be insured. The frequency of similar lawyer /client theft is known by the Law society and not closely policing this growing trend and problem is repulsive.
Someone asks me ” does free legal education give rise to some undeserved?”…..some of these folks are entrusted with large sums of money.

” does free legal education give rise to some undeserved?”
Who are the undeserved? That is where we part company. Taken to a logical then this could be seen as advocating only the rich and powerful are deserving. If you are poor, you need not apply.
You will find that thieves come in all shapes, sizes, colors, ethnicity, financial condition ….
My references were to those with unlawfu/illegal tendancies. The Word “undeserved” Was not referring to poor and unfortunate. That was definitely not the intention of the writer to refer to poor or unfortunate applicants. Rich folks can also be undeserves. Undeserved does not mean the impoverished. as you have thought. I could have used another word “unmerited” My statement did not advocate the rich and powerful as deserving…..not even remotely.. The point in that statement may have been missed and thats understandable.
@Grantl
Thank you. I now offer you a semi-apology.
I had a very good idea of what you meant, but chose to reply that way. Why?
Though free education was given to all, the word free can trigger a strange response in some. They would ignore the rich that benefited and focus on the poor that did. Some have the opinion that the poor are undeserving.

What is sinful and shameful is that we go through the motions of a trial and the money is never recovered.

Be reasonable.
What you are missing, is the simple FACT that ANY attempt to ‘follow the money’ of ANY lawyer bout here, opens a Pandora’s box of epic proportions which, EVEN IN Brassbados, would end up with serious overcrowding at Dodds.
