An announcement from Stuart Meltzer, Esq. of Nassau County, New York:
As a result of my over 18 years experience in the Family, Matrimonial and Criminal Courts in the New York area, I have witnessed a steady decline in Equal Protection and Due Process rights afforded to litigants. Most disturbing is the fact that those people who have the smallest voice and least amount of power in our society, our children, are losing most. Thus, I view as most important, based in law and forensic study, our children’s right to liberal access to both a father and mother.
In New York and especially here in Nassau County, I have witnessed corruption as Judges delay cases in order to generate excessive attorney fees. Similarly, I have witnessed Judges use “equitable” distribution as an excuse to engage in outright stealing of marital estates by sequestering and levying on the “monied” litigants assets in order to effectively enrich favored lawyer cronies. These same lawyers are contributing to their Judge benefactors election campaigns. This pattern and practice is being done at the expense of our children. Judges maintain this status quo of unjust enrichment because few litigants have the financial, physical and emotional reserves necessary to fight this injustice.
Moreover, since the Bar Association and Judges protect their own, nothing is done about the destruction of our Constitutional rights or the systemic corruption that underlies this fact. Nearly all of my colleagues acknowledge what is going on but few wish to rock the boat. After all, their own economic livelihoods depend on maintaining the status quo. (more…)
