Reimer Arnovitz et al Unethical Commingling + Retaliatory Bar Complaint

Update: Not seen in yesterdays video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ywjeEOOYlQ
..is this statement from yet another Reimer insider.
1


i did find that yesterday, but how did u find me? or know we might have
common interests? Cause we do, u are correct about them, i believe they
deserve this karma...... i am most curious how u found out about their billing
issues?? those are correct too, they have a lot of money that does not belong to
them and u can find it in their trust account, they were constantly co-mingling
of funds.

And more information from other one:

Reimer uses Nova Title Company http://www.novatitleagency.com/services
Owning that meant if a client questioned the double billing, the accountant (Lorri Cox)
would email downstairs to Nova to quickly 'zero it out" That was the solution to so
much. Zero it out. If the client didnt ask about it, it slid by. Only fix if they ask.
If we owe, zero it out so the file is at zero. If they owe us, take it from the court cost
refund. They said the files were so old the client wont even notice. But we double
billed for a publication!!! We owe then $150!! Nope zero it out.
**************
Are you dealing with the Law Firm of Reimer, Arnovitz in a foreclosure or debt
collection matter? We have some information from an insider that you should know
about. While I am not conferring any legal advice, as a former Ohio Assistant Attorney
General I remain concerned about these matters and hope that those of you out there
who see this and who file Ethics Complaints of your own also notify me so that I can
see how assiduously the Ohio Bar Association and other regulatory agencies address
these concerns.

To avoid spoliation, be certain to demand a copy of the internal email Reimer broadcast to
the entire Company regarding me. It shows the animus against not only me but against the First
Amendment to the United States Constitution, which informs this tribunal as to their motive to
lie, which they clearly did.

First of all an inside source informs me that Reimer, Arnovitz is struggling financially,
which prompted a merger with the collections firm of Babcock and Wasserman.
2

Apparently the merger is not providing the anticipated revenues so Reimer
management (i.e. the Principals) have been issuing payroll out of credit card accounts.
Now theres nothing inherently unethical about any of that, but keep reading because
that backdrop provides a motive for their other clearly unethical conduct.

To wit: Attorneys put money into the Court file for up front costs in a draw type
account. When a case closes there is often money left over, i.e. unused funds. Client
contracts dictate that there is to be no further billing at that point.

However, the Principals at Reimer Arnovitz often back-billed for example for
publication costs or other matters and basically steal it from the Court cost refund and
then report a lower refund than what was actually received.

I have it on information and belief from someone with firsthand knowledge that
Reimer received numerous emails from all clients relative to this matter involving
estimated costs that were padded, padded billing in general and double-billing and the
aforementioned back-billing. Clients are reportedly demanding strict accounting on
all fronts. This conduct constitutes a violation of Ohio Code Prof. Resp. DR 1-
102(A)(4), (5), (6) and Ohio Code Prof. Resp. DR 2-106(A). See generally Toledo Bar
Ass'n v. Stahlbush, 126 Ohio St. 3d 366 (2010).

Let me share the concerns of more than one person in the know:

.[I]nstead of sending clients funds to the state of ohio for unclaimed funds
they kept most of it, clients that they kept money from no longer exist or sold
the loans to another bank for example HomEq, AHMSI, Ocwen (they have a ton
of Ocwen's money in the Iolta Trust account because Ocwen hasn't paid them.
they have about 70k of HomEq's money that should be sent to unclaimed funds
but Arnovitz told the firm accountant to keep it, the funds they would send to
unclaimed was for debtors, but that became regular basis just over the last
year late 2012 and in 2013, previously the checks were just voided if they were
never cashed, and money is either still sitting in the iolta account (trust) or it
was co mingled and put back into the operating account.

When they got the law suit from BOA and another one from Citi they had us
refund some accounts but only through 2011 anything prior to that they kept,
they used to never reconcile their accounts and any over billings were kept,
once all this was coming out Arnovitz got scared and wanted to start refunding
everything, but they couldn't afford to financially.

2
I have no knowledge, direct or indirect, of any unethical conduct on the part of the
Wasserman firm. I only have it on information and belief that most of their employees are not
happy after the merger. Should any of them notify me of ethical concerns however, I will
direct them to consult with appropriate licensed counsel.

And since Dennis could always prove, according to him that the court cost
refunds were technically his since he laid out the initial court deposits on
behalf of his clients they used to not send those back and kept the old
accounts, they said even if they got sued all that they have to do to not be in
trouble with the bar association is prove that they changed their ways and
going forward they fixed everything..

KingCast note: I believe the BoA and Citi lawsuits were drafts, so as to keep the
profile down and I cannot find them online. They may however, have been filed in a
State Court. Whatever they and wherever they are, I am sure that the appropriate
Regulatory Officers like Bruce Campbell will obtain copies of these lawsuits so that we
can all review them.

[**P15] In Holland, we observed,
HN7
"Padding client bills with hours not worked is
tantamount to misappropriation," and disbarment is the presumptive sanction for
misconduct involving misappropriation. [***1095] Holland, 106 Ohio St. 3d 372, 2005
Ohio 5322, P 20, 835 N.E.2d 361, citing Toledo Bar Assn. v. Batt (1997), 78 Ohio St. 3d
189, 1997 Ohio 222, 677 N.E.2d 349, and Dayton Bar Assn. v. Gerren, 103 Ohio St. 3d
21, 2004 Ohio 4110, P14, 812 N.E.2d 1280. We emphasized that "[b]y overcharging the
juvenile court, respondent exploited an already overburdened system designed to aid
the poorest members of our society and lessened public confidence in the legal
profession and compromised its integrity." Id. at P 22.

Therefore, while recognizing the respondent's reputation and lack of a prior
disciplinary record as mitigating factors, we concluded that his practice of certifying
inflated fee requests that could not be explained by any conceivable mistake
warranted a harsher sanction than the recommended one-year suspension with six
months stayed. Id. at P 23-25. Accordingly, we imposed a one-year suspension from
the practice of law. Id. at P 25.

See also Disciplinary Counsel v. Squire, 130 Ohio St. 3d 368 (2011) Ohio R. Prof.
Conduct 1.16(e) (failure to promptly return unused client funds).

.the presumptive sanction for misappropriation is disbarment and that
misconduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation requires a
period of actual suspension from the practice of law.
Squire, supra.

Wherefore the Ohio Bar Association must now conduct audits of all Reimer Arnovitz
files for the past several years in order to ferret out this illegal conduct and to punish
it appropriately, which should result in multiple suspensions if not disbarment.

To wit: The above must be considered in addition to the fact that I have reason
to believe that Reimer Arnovitz directed others under their control, to utilize fake
United States Postal Service Green Cards, which among other things implicates Rule
3.3 Candor to the Tribunal. Watch a video about that right here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl1ijgCsujM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDssESngHm8

Note that this matter has implications that go above and beyond any in Court litigation
so parallel Jurisdiction most assuredly exists. See also an attached filing by Pattie Ann
Busby that was never addressed on the merits by the Court, even though it clearly
points out the fact that there should not have even been any Green Cards or Certified
Mailings because there was allegedly Sheriff Service. Unrefuted Affidavits have been
issued by the Busbys a pro se family -- who only discovered the Green Card issue in
2015. See Appendix A, including the Affidavits and a related Court filing. As the Court
never addressed the matter it is time for the Bar Association to address it, because
otherwise we cannot have any true belief in the integrity of our legal system.

To wit: Reimer, Arnovitz Principals and a junior attorney by the name of Rachel
Kuhn, irritated by my journalist efforts, falsely claimed in a Columbus Bar Association
Complaint that they would not talk to me about Ms. Busbys concerns because of
privacy concerns involving debt collection. However that rings false because in
writings we have preserved, Ms. Busby had notified Reimer, Safeguard and Bank of
America that I was fully authorized to discuss the matter pursuant to an investigation I
was doing by and through Mortgage Movies Journal. We have real U.S. Postal receipts
and email notifications proving that the information was shared and she was on the
phone with me when we telephoned Reimer anyway.

These false statements were uttered to officers of the Court, thereby subjecting the
Reimer Partners and Ms. Kuhn to a finding that they violated Ohio Rule Prof. Conduct
3.3(a) and DR 7-102(A)(5), because you simply cant omit material facts, and you
simply cannot make false statements of material facts, and it is a material fact that
Reimer was on ACTUAL NOTICE of the Busby privacy/confidentiality waiver because
they committed suicide by their own hand in sending the YouTube link showing it to
Bruce Campbell and the Columbus Bar Association. See generally In re Burch, 133 Ohio
St. 3d 82 (2012).


Moreover, Burch's omission of the material fact that she had not completed the
coursework for the previous semester when she sought permission to exceed
the law school's credit-hour limit exhibits a disturbing lack of candor and
maturity in her final semester of law school. We have stated that the practice
of law is "a learned profession grounded on integrity, respectability, and
candor." See, e.g., Disciplinary Counsel v. Claflin, 107 Ohio St. 3d 31, 2005
Ohio 5827, 836 N.E.2d 564, 14.

Do not be confused here: I am not moving to sue Reimer or Ms. Kuhn for Defamation,
as they had absolute privilege pursuant to Baggott v. Hughes, 34 Ohio Misc. 63 (1973).
It is a matter of fact and law, however, that such privilege does not confer any
protection whatsoever from an ethics complaint when materially false statements are
made when the complaining party had constructive and actual knowledge of the
Truth, which they clearly had in this case because they were copied on all relevant
YouTube videos: In point of fact, Attorney Kuhn, operating under the direct
supervision and within the ambit of liability of all named partners, directly cited to a
video at p. 2 of her Complaint against me in which the Busby release was mentioned!

http://mortgagemovies.blogspot.com/2014/01/illinois-attorney-general-on-notice-of.html
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY65wxYHU30
For your edification below is a picture of the Busby Confidentiality Release that
appears at 0:28 of said short film, so Kuhn, Reimer, Arnovitz et al. are liars and
standing in direct violation of Rule 3.3 and all related DRs. That is an indisputable
FACT, a pure smoking gun pointing right back at Reimer, especially because Ms. Busby
was on the phone with me in the first place. Now what will the regulating authorities
do about it?

In this instance I believe the Columbus Bar Association has authority to investigate because
one of the three issues occurred within its Jurisdiction, i.e. the outright lie about why Reimer
would not discuss the Busby case with me.

The Busby release even appears online in several YouTube videos, as pointed out to
Safeguards Corporate Counsel Linda Erkkila, who falsely told me on a Sunday evening
(14 Sept 2014) that she had not received correspondence from me about the matter.
In point of fact I contacted not only Erkkila, but Safeguard senior management
including CEO Alan Jaffa Founder Robert Klein.

See the YouTube link below and the
top picture on the following page.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFk4eOEwHxY

The Busby matter is well-known to Reimer and their client, Bank of America as you can
see because Busby wrote Safeguard, Bank of America wrote Busby and the Attorney
General Responded to Busby as well. See the YouTube link above and the second, third
and fourth screen captures on the following pages.

Safeguard is involved in the Busy fraudulent foreclosure because they keep harassing the
Busby family and others throughout the Country, often illegally trespassing as clearly seen in
this Mortgage Movies video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFk4eOEwHxY

Meanwhile the Cleveland Plain Dealer has reported on Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigans
ongoing lawsuit against Safeguard for the very same issues we are concerned about.

In sum, what you have here is a struggling law firm that:

1. Steals money from its clients while double-billing and padding bills.
2. Apparently authorized the use of phony U.S. Mailing documents.
3. Lies about the reason it refuses to talk to a mortgage industry journalist.

I look forward to a diligent investigation. And I can assure everyone involved, I wont
be the only one watching.

I also have reason to believe that Reimer is a bad corporate culture that abuses its employees
with the use of unauthorized overtime and reprimands for emailing other employees over
little things like meeting for lunch. Those things are perhaps beyond the purview of any ethics
probe without more detail, however the three issues I have delineated certainly contain
enough meat on the bone to merit full investigation. Anything short of that will speak volumes
about the integrity of Ohios legal system.
