IOHO, apparently the attorneys for the law firm of
Davis,
Matthews & Quigley, P.C. have a problem similar to that
of other attorneys, in that they have a problem reading,
comprehending what they have read, or making misleading
statements. The attorneys for the law firm of Davis,
Matthews & Quigley, P.C. apparently only read the first clause
on
the State of Georgia web-page, and ignored the rest
of the
paragraph.
Courts have ruled that fraud as it applies to attorneys
is any
attempt to deceive, whether by commission, by omission,
by
silence, by gesture, or by innuendo. The attorneys
for the law firm of Davis, Matthews & Quigley, P.C. should know
the definition of fraud by an attorney. Have the attorneys for the law
firm of Davis, Matthews & Quigley, P.C. acted fraudulently in
any of their communications either with a respondent, with a complainant,
with a client, or in court? We understand that they may not have been forthcoming
in all of their communications, and in fact in our opinion have engaged
in misleading in some of their communications. As only one example, the
above referenced letter from the attorneys of the law firm of Davis,
Matthews & Quigley, P.C. to CLR dated January 24, 2002.
At no time did we state that the law firm of Davis, Matthews & Quigley, P.C. was disciplined by a state disciplinary agency. We did report however that an attorney at Davis, Matthews & Quigley, P.C. had been sued for legal malpractice.
Have the attorneys for the law firm of Davis, Matthews & Quigley, P.C. been truthful in all of their dealings with, and have not mislead any of, their clients at any time?
Have all of the attorneys at Davis, Matthews & Quigley, P.C. engaged in a conspiracy to commit fraud or to fail to report the misconduct of other attorneys at the law firm of Davis, Matthews & Quigley, P.C.?
Isn't it unethical for officers of the court to threaten any person in any communication, whether written or oral? Is not your threatening letter of January 24, 2002 to us engaging in an act of misconduct? Have the attorneys at Davis, Matthews & Quigley, P.C. not engaged in mail fraud? Have the attorneys at Davis, Matthews & Quigley, P.C. now not brought disrepute to the legal establishment?
Isn't it unethical to attempt to interfere with anyone's
Constitutional Rights?
Please also provide us with a full and complete list
of the
names, last known addresses and phone numbers of
all of your
clients, both past and present. As you know, lists
of clients
have been held by the courts to be business records,
and
therefore are not within the client-attorney privilege
exemption from disclosure.
Please provide the above along with your affidavit
that your
submissions are accurate, full and complete.
Upon receipt of
the above, our Review Board will review your documentations
and
investigate your allegations to determine whether
or not you
have brought disrepute to the legal establishment.
If our Review Board finds that you have not brought disrepute to the legal
establishment, then your name will be removed from our web-site.
We understand that in most states, the misconduct
of one
attorney in a law firm is considered the misconduct
of all attorneys in the firm. We also understand that each and every member
of a law firm has a separate and individual duty to report the misconduct
of other attorneys to the attorney disciplinary agency. Should an attorney
not report the misconduct of another attorney, then that attorney is engaged
in misconduct.
Do you honestly believe that a jury, after reviewing
all of the evidence, will find that in the opinion of the public, you have
not brought disrepute to the legal establishment?
Note to all current and former clients of
the law firm of Davis, Matthews & Quigley, P.C. Citizens
would appreciate if you would inform Citizens that you are, or were formerly,
a client of the law firm of Davis, Matthews & Quigley, P.C.
This information is only requested to see if the law firm of Davis,
Matthews & Quigley, P.C. will provide an accurate, full and complete
list of their current and former clients, and will be kept confidential.
