VERMONT CROOKED LAWYERS
Large out of state insurance companies may have violated antitrust laws, as they conspire to deny valid claims
by Vermont senior citizens, so that they, the insurance monopoly, can keep the money. They do so by employing local
crooked lawyers, lawyers who stoop to threatening honest people with criminal fraud during standard legal mediation
The following Insurance Companies and Lawyers tried to con us:
1. One Beacon Insurance Company – CU York Ins. Co. who in 2001, the year of our property loss were financially connected with Liberty Mutual Group. Click here to see the 2003 Best Company Report on that.
2. Peerless Insurance Company, a member of the Liberty Mutual Group of Insurance Companies, they admit that on their own webpage! Click here to see that in their own words on their own website!
3. Lawyer – Gregory S. Clayton (formerly of the firm Aten Clayton and Eaton) Vermont and New Hampshire Attys, and now with Primmer Piper Eggleston & Cramer, PC, 150 South Champlain Street, P.O. Box 1489, Burlington, Vermont 05402-1489. Clayton represented OneBeacon. Click here to find what other insurance company use this con artist attorney for defense of claims. Avoid problems, make sure your company isn't on the list or else you too might be threatened during legal mediation.
4. Lawyer – Pietro J. Lynn (of the firm Lynn, Thomas and Mihalich) of Burlington, Vermont. Lynn represented Peerless Insurance, owned by the Liberty Mutual Group. Despite his lies and misrepresentations to us as well as the Court, he goes on to claim on his website to be a Civil Rights attorney. Read it! It is more like a wolf guarding the hen house. Watch out hens!
5. Lawyer – Lisa Chalidze of 548 Herrick Road, Benson Vermont, who we fired as our lawyer when she tried to allow the insurance companies to pull a legal fast one, click here and look for Exhibit C. Basically from such behavior we found out she was in bed with the insurance companies.
6. Lawyer – Joan Loring Wing of Rutland, Vermont Mediator and chair of the Attorney Professional Responsibility Board of the State of Vermont – Also known as the attorney Ethics Board of Vermont. She holds this influential position despite the fact she never went to law school. This ethics mess is a perfect example of why people should go to law school. We were asked to sign a mediation agreement, which stated mediator Wing did not practice law. This is a lie! Click here to read her own words! She did practise law, specializing in Insurance defense! This too comes from the American Bar Association website!! Furthermore Joan Loring Wing worked for her family law firm in Rutland, Vermont, which represented Liberty Mutual Group which owned Peerless Insurance company, a party defendent in our lawsuit. No wonder Wing concealed that evidence from us. by stating she did not practice law. What a conflict of interest. She and one of the attorneys (Lisa Chalidze) were also close friends. No wonder our own lawyer sold us out..
Worse, we were threatened at the mediation that if we did not settle the case that very day, we would be charged with criminal fraud and OneBeacon Insurance Company would file a counterclaim and demand the return of all the money paid to date.
The four attorneys including mediator Wing tried to con us by asking us to sign a stipulation of settlement agreement with indemnification provisions which would have netted us zero for our loss.
Second attempt to con us. After we objected, they eliminated the indemnification provision and everyone signed. Thereafter we received in the mail releases with the indemnification provisions put back in by the insurance company attorneys. Our own attorney Lisa Chalidze asked us to sign. She never answered when I asked her if she was in bed with the insurance companies. We fired her. She now says she never read what she asked us to sign. Some Lawyer!
Third attempt to con us and attempt of insurance companies and their attorneys to con the superior court. They made motions asking the court to compel us to sign releases which contained the indemnification clauses which had been deleted from the agreement that all parties previously signed.
Our insurance company, OneBeacon and their supervisor Mary Ellen Sasseville (who is now working for the New Hampshire Department of Insurance) before our suit in the case, asked us in writing to create a fake date of loss so that they could get an extra deductible, ($2000 instead of $1000) I reported this to the Vermont Attorney Generals office. After the lapse of over one year they answered my letter and suggested that I report the matter to the State Department of Insurance. I wrote a reply to the Office of Attorney General and informed them that I previously made a complaint to the Vermont Department of Insurance and was told “What do you want to be a Don Quixote?” Another example of how they protect the insurance industry and not the public.
Our insurance company, OneBeacon and the Plumbers Insurance company, Peerless, colluded together in attempting to defeat our claim against Ryan Plumbing, who was negligent.
