Wow, turns out Linda's new attorney is a mover and a shaker. NOT. He had the audacity to show up in court to defend Linda on the marital property case, without having an IL license to practice law. The judge ask him point blank at the beginning if he was licensed in the state of IL to which he answered YES YOUR HONOR. Ds's attorneys then brought forth proof that we was not licensed to practice in IL. When confronted, well, he had tried and he had moved a lot and blah blah. The judge would not hear the case and advised Mrs. Shelton to get a "licensed" attorney before returning to court.

Ds's attorney knew from the beginning that he wasn't licensed in IL and just waited to see if he would play it out...and he did.....

Yes, 3abn, DS and AF need to bar the doors, with this guy coming on....

Tomatoe;

The Attorney renewed his licence in IL and paid the fees. The Truth of the matter lies in the fact that the processing of that payment had not been posted into the records.

When lawyers move locations, there is no need to continue to pay fees for something you are not going to use. This is why he went in and took care of paperwork and payed those fees prior to the court date.

3ABN, of all people, should understand when management/employees do not process income in a timely manner or they just post other people's money into 3ABN income instead of forwarding it to the other Independent Ministries.

It is clear the courts must have a huge backlog and just had not posted the Lawyers payment as yet. For you to imply stupidity of the lawyer is not a becoming thing to do, is it?

In fact, Court Documents, the IL vs. 3ABN Property Tax Lawsuit, and Federally filed Form 990 Documents, clearly call 3ABN on this very problem within 3ABN.

3ABN did not post $2.45 MILLION Dollars in TRUST FUNDS in 2001. They also mis-posted over $14,000 of money meant to be forwarded to other Independent Ministries. The funds went straight into the 3ABN coffers. I still wonder what Ministries did not get their money.

As if that was not a problem, in 2002, there was $1.7 MILLION dollars in TRUST FUNDS that were not posted.

This reminds me of the story in the Bible about the man that owed a very large sum of money to his Master.

He could not pay and begged mercy; it was granted. However, he proceeded to hunt down those that had money owed to him. He did not show any mercy at all that owed him money.

When his master heard this he took action. Do you remember that action?

I believe this is a situation that ANY lawyer could find themselves in on any given day in IL Courts. The problem was not the lawyers problem, It was the courts problem, because he fulfilled his part of the agreement by doing all the paperwork and paying his $500.00 fee. It was the clerks failure to process that payment in a timely manner.

When you come here and create impressions that are false, it decreases your credibility. Think about it. :prayer:

Seeing that sombody posted something about Linda's lawyer in this topic, I am going to post the following email:

Illinois allows Attys to maintain an inactive status and Atty Laird Heal has been an inactive member of the Bar for 11 years. When He agreed to accept Lindas case. he contacted the Illinois Bar to re-activate his license. They sent him paperwork and he had to pay a fee of something under $500 which was done about two weeks ago. The Illinois Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission did not get his re-activation certification completed in time for this hearing. This is, a minor issue as he is a member in good standing before the Illinois Bar, but inactive, although his activation fee and paperwork is before the commission for updating.

The important news is that the Judge ordered a pretrial hearing, mandatory settlement conference and hearing on motions for June 8, 2007. The judge also noted that there had been no depositions in this case. It is Atty Heals intent to correct that problem as soon as possible.

I have also attached the Illinois Registration database for Laird James Heal demonstrating there is no pending disciplinary action and simply needs to complete re-activation:

ARDC Individual Attorney Record of Public Registration and Public Disciplinary and Disability Information as of April 25, 2007 at 12:14:42 PM:

Full Licensed Name: Laird James Heal
Full Former name(s): None
Date of Admission as Lawyer
by Illinois Supreme Court: June 4, 1991
Registered Business Address: *********
Registered Business Phone: *********

Public Record of Discipline
and Pending Proceedings: None

Hope this clarifies the status and I am told he will be re-activated by the commission by Friday.

Seems to me that if he had paid his fees and could prove that and had a report that no outstanding disciplinary action was pending against him the judge should have allowed the hearing to continue. Judges are for the most reasonable and fair. I wasn't there but I doubt he had the proof of paying the fees to show the judge at the time of this hearing. So, if that was the case, technically he was lying to the judge. Not that it matters much in the over all scheme of things pertaining to this case.

God Bless

But obviously this lawyer won't hesitate to lie even to a judge. He was asked if he had his Illinois license to practice and he said YES! That was a bold-faced lie. This tells me something about this man's character.

Now if the license was "in the making" he should have said so to the Judge...he should have said to the Judge "No I do not have my license but it is coming soon, I'm just waiting on paperwork."

But no, He answered YES, no doubt thinking Danny's lawyers were not capable to doing their jobs. I'm just sorry the Judge didn't throw it out totally.

But tomatoe--can you tell me why Linda is taking Danny to court again? What does she want? Why is she suing Danny?


You are absolutely right rosie. This play on words by Pickle and Joy is ridiculous. It doesn't matter that he had a license when the license wasn't active and he knew it. When the judge ask him if he had a license to practice law in IL of course he meant an active license, otherwise what would be the point? If it isn't active, you can't practice in that state. Pretty simple.
As for Linda it would seem she wasn't satisfied with halfing the assets and in fact, being given more than she actually was paid for by DS. Between her settlement from 3abn and her cash and asset settlement from her marriage, she was worth a pretty good chunk. But, greed is a sad thing.
