A state Supreme Court attorney ethics Vice-Chairman
Robert Correale misuses his high level government and court office to Cover-Up and block ethics violations and legal malpractice
charges against his own law firm, Maynard & Truland. After nine years, the Cover-Up leads all the way up
to the former Governor Jon Corzine's Office, the Attorney General's Office, the state's Supreme Court and Superior Court.
Disabled PTSD Vietnam vet, Jack Cunningham's ethic complaints start with Robert Correale's and his law firm's gross
negligence, over-charging per hour, false billing, lack of communications, coming to court unprepared and open perjury
to the New Jersey Supreme Court and Superior Court systems. (Evidence are Maynard & Truland's own contact,
invoices, court-filed letters, court-filed documents and court-filed sworn statements, NJ Supreme Court attorney certifications,
etc.)
Thanks to some
dedicated, honest State Legislators, Jack Cunningham is no longer in this battle alone.
| Government corruption, which is quite obvious in this case, is the vilest
form of governmental abuse of power. As a retired police officer, this case violates every tenet that I placed my life on
the line for every day for in order to uphold our constitution. Shame on New Jersey. Your state's reputation precedes you,
and this case confirms why. |
Although it is true and you will read the evidence below, this webpage
is not really about a PTSD vet being mocked in Supreme Court documents. This webpage and this website is about
how a corrupt law firm was allowed by the Supreme Court to openingly overcharge, openingly false bill, attend a court session
unprepared, commit perjury repeatedly in Supreme Court and Superior Court, and to use their state-wide influence against
this PTSD veteran. The veteran was not the defendant in the case; he was the Plaintiff.
Theft of your
constitutional rights and due process under the law, by deception.
Your "Due Process" under the law
was violated. Perjury is also an issue which should not be over-looked.
Try communicating with the US
Attorney and/or FBI.

Having been a pretty good "street
cop" for 35 years this December, I read carefully what you sent me.
If I was involved with this
case and having the documentation that you and the courts have, I believe that I would approach a mid-ranking Officer in the
police service in your area and inquire about "perjury" investigations.
--------------------------
After spending 28 years in
law enforcement, I've never seen such screw ups in my life. Sounds like these lawyers had something going with
friends in high New Jersey government places.
Below
you will read how state Supreme Court Attorney Ethics Vice-Chairman Robert Correale was allowed to mock honorably-discharged, Vietnam
Veteran Marine Jack Cunningham for his PTSD disability in actual New Jersey Supreme Court sworn CERTIFICATIONS.
Instead of driving Jack Cunningham away from bringing legal malpractice charges against Correale and his law firm, Mayland
& Truland, it only made Jack more determined to bring Correale and Maynard & Truland to court .
It's going on ten years of battling for Jack, and he and his wife Joan are even more determined today than the days, when
the laundry list of ethics violations first happened.

Instead of the State of New Jersey
giving me "reasonable disability accommodations" for my war-service-related PTSD, the State allowed Maynard
& Truland's arrogant lawyers to mock my disability in sworn, New Jersey Supreme Court documents.
The corrupt law firm Maynard &
Truland was the defendant in the case, and I was the Plaintiff in the ethics complaint.
NEW JERSEY JUSTICE
The Attorney Ethics Vice-Chairman Robert Correale's and his Law Firm's contemptuous and malicious attitude towards my disability was clearly highlighted in their May 2, 2003 certification to Mr. Robert L. Stober,
Esq., Secretary of the District XI Attorney Ethics Committee.
What do You Think This Lawyer Was Trying To Say To
District XI Attorney Ethics in history points 23 and 56?
(23. Incoherent
& 56. Paranoid)
This
Attorney Ethics Vice-Chairman Robert Correale believed January 9, 2001 was extremely important
that he mentions it twice, and made it his last point (56) of his “Formal” certification to the District XI Attorney
Ethics’ Secretary.

This
Attorney Ethics Official (Robert Correale) for New Jersey's SUPREME COURT made these certifications to Attorney Ethics District XI with full knowledge of the small, size of the Sussex
County courtrooms, Court Procedures, and especially the fact that I had no prior
written notification that there was an attorney change within his Law Firm. This
New Jersey Supreme Court official and General Practice attorney was taking over my divorce case from the Law Firm's divorce
attorney.
The
real reason, as why I was there in Court on January 9, 2001, was for a DEFAULT HEARING. I never received any
notification that the Court Session agenda was changed.

I'm trying to
get my congressman to recognize this is not just a New Jersey issue, but a federal civil rights issue. Please
call Congressman Scott Garrett's office (973) 300-2000 and ask for Dana. In a nice way, please tell her what you
think about this issue. It's time to bring some state politicians and state officials to justice for this. Ten
years is a long time for a veteran to battle for his civil rights. It's time that the federal government is not
part of this cover-up...
Please have
your members of Congress call and/or write Congressman Scott Garrett and ask them to support Jack Cunningham's civil rights
against the State of New Jersey.

We have all the evidence to prove these facts...
On December 21, 2000, I first wrote a letter to the New Jersey Supreme Court's Office of Attorney Ethics
complaining about the Maynard & Truland law firm in Morristown, New Jersey and their attorney Robert Correale.
Maynard & Truland was a law firm that I retained to represent me in a Superior court case. We were four months into
the contract, so I did not want to change the law firm; I just wanted Maynard & Truland and their attorney Robert Correale
to act professionally. My complaints in the letter were Maynard & Truland's complete lack of professionalism, which
included their gross negligence, their (Correale) overcharging me, their (Correale) false billing, their (Correale) inability
to have me removed from a court default that they caused themselves and their (Correale) complete lack of communications.
I no longer wanted to feel like I was fighting Maynard & Truland and their attorney Robert Correale, more than the real
opposing parties.
I opened my letter to NJ Supreme Court's Office of Attorney Ethics explaining that I was a veteran
from the Vietnam War and that I was disabled with PTSD, due to heavy combat from living and serving (24/7) in a Vietnamese
peasant village. I added that I suffered from chronic pain resulting from a terrorist bomb blast that I received in
the village. I highlighted how Maynard & Truland's lack of professionalism was greatly exacerbating my PTSD and
chronic pain. At the time, I was not looking for anything other than Maynard & Truland to represent me in
a professional manner, yet understand I suffered from veterans disabilities. With the letter, I included a federal Veterans
Affairs (VA) diagnose statement as well as VA medical progress reports, which clearly stated the impact Maynard & Truland
ethics violations were having on my disabilities. I also supplied letters that I sent Maynard & Truland's attorneys
begging them to act professionally. I supplied all this personal information in the hope the State of New Jersey would
provide me with some reasonable disability accommodations and insure that the law firm acted professionally.
Six days later, the Secretary of District
X Ethics Committee, Bonnie C. Frost wrote a return letter that stated, due to New Jersey Court rules, their office could not
do anything to help me. She added I was free to get advice from another attorney.
Whether it was warranted
or not, the Office of Attorney Ethics - District X's lack of support just added to the anxiety and even opened the door for
Maynard & Truland to continue ongoing ethics violations. Their over-charging, false billing, negligence, lack of
communications continued. At one point a Maynard & Truland attorney arrived unprepared at Superior Court for an
arbitration, and I was forced to represent myself as their attorney sat quietly to my left. I ended up getting
charged over $600 for the attorney just sitting there. (Even this, he charged at the inflated rate.)
A little
over two years later, when I refused to pay their open bill, Maynard & Truland attorneys brought me to Superior court
for $1,700. I counter sued on the same docket for Legal Malpractice against the firm. During a break in the court
proceedings, I learned that the Maynard & Truland attorney Robert Correale was the local Vice Chairman of New Jersey's
Supreme Court Office of Attorney Ethics. He was himself responsible for bringing official ethics violations to New Jersey's
Supreme Court for himself and his law firm, Maynard & Truland. This was the same Attorney Ethics Committee that
I asked to support me two years before. (Major Conflict of Interest)
The detailed evidence, I supplied the Superior
Court Judge Ronald Graves on the Open Bill/Legal Malpractice case that day was enough for the judge to decide against Vice-Chairman
of Attorney Ethics Robert Correale and his law firm. Their open bill charges were dropped and the judge determined that
my charges of legal malpractice warranted (merited) the Superior Court Law Division for damages.
When I brought the
Legal Malpractice case to Superior Court Law Division, Judge Ronald Graves court transcript was missing and could not be typed.
It actually disappeared. My Superior Court Law Division Legal Malpractice case against the Maynard & Truland law
firm and Vice-Chairman of the New Jersey Supreme Court Office of Attorney Ethics Robert Correale was then thrown out of Superior
Court for lack of merit. How convenient was this...
Vice-Chairman of Attorney Ethics Robert Correale and his
fellow Maynard & Truland attorneys were later cleared by the Office of Attorney Ethics, when they swore to written Certifications
to the New Jersey Supreme Court, which were filled with perjurious, misleading and vague statements.
This Superior
Court transcript went missing in 2003. The State of New Jersey is still looking for it. Although, I have written
numerous letters to the federal Department of Justice requesting they assist me in getting my Civil Rights and Due Process
from the State of New Jersey, the Department of Justice insists this is a New Jersey issue and they refuse to help.
My years of certified letters to New Jersey governors, attorney generals, NJ federal senators, NJ court systems go unanswered.
In 2010, the Cover-Up still goes on... Former Vice-Chairman Robert Correale, his former attorneys at Maynard
& Truland and those politicians and state government officials, who protected them for almost ten years, stay above state
and federals laws.
Currently, my State Senator Steven Oroho has been investigating this and has been since November
2008. I'm also trying to get my federal Congressman Scott Garrett involved in getting me my Due Rights and charging
the State of New Jersey with denying me my civil rights for almost ten years and the violating the Americans with Disabilities
Act for not giving me reasonable disability accommodations in the New Jersey Supreme and Supreme Court systems.
This still remains the biggest topic of
my Veterans Affairs (VA) therapy sessions and the exacerbation of my PTSD and chronic pain continues. But the
one thing I know, I won't give up trying to get justice from the federal and state government.
I never want to see this happen again to another PTSD vet or
regular citizen.
