I've lived through a lot and recently dealt with a family member and her corrupt lawyer in probate court. They attempted to exceed the will and the lawyer threatened he would sue me if I didn't sign the paper he concocted taking thousands from my share. I was fortunate - this time - that I had an honest judge. Yet the woman lawyer who worked in the office "misplaced" my Motion and then returned it to me saying it was "filed too late" when she knows she lied. The court time-stamps every piece of mail that comes in. I sent in letter after letter that she apparently threw in the trash and no one ever answered me.
My husband and I believe it was pretty obvious she was corrupt - that she was helping out the corrupt lawyer by intentionally misplacing my Motion. I ended up withdrawing it because of the shenanigans and I lost around $200 - $600 because of that corrupt lawyer working in the probate office.
I know God tells us to forgive but is it my duty to report that corrupt lawyer who works in the probate office? I always have a struggle with what action I'm supposed to take and what I'm to leave for God to handle. What she did was despicable. I had faxed the freeholders and she called with another court worker asking for an apology. It was so wrong - she should have apologized to me. She knows what she did - and she was foolish and put her job on the line to help out one of her buddies. She whined that she didn't want her job affected. If she didn't want her job affected she shouldn't have engaged in corruption.
This is the 4th time my family and I caught someone in the government doing something corrupt. The lawyer that threatened me thinks he's untouchable because his boss is a big-shot lawyer in our area, yet the big shot's son was a drug drug in town - and who never got caught and is now a lawyer. Thousands of young lives were ruined - and some died - while that lawyer and his drug-dealing son got rich by the father representing all the people in town who his son sold drugs to.
I've seen such corruption and I'm wondering when God is going to act. Has anyone else dealt with government corruption? If so, did you try to hold the person accountable?
I always seem to have an issue where I have to decide what my responsibility is vs what is to be left up to God. Do others struggle with this? I tend to be proactive so it's often hard for me to do nothing.
