Open Letter to All Attorneys
I accuse the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Sixth Circuit of case-fixing!
I am an attorney and Ivy League graduate who has been in good standing and has never been disciplined since my first bar admission 35 years ago. I have worked for state-court judges, a U.S. Senator, the U.S. Department of Justice's Criminal Division, the U.S. Attorney's Office, and (until its recent dissolution) I was the Co-Executive Director of a pro bono legal-services organization founded and led by a former federal appellate court judge. I have never taken even one penny in attorney's fees from a private law client in my life.
Yet, in the spirit of the writer Émile Zola, who challenged the unlawful conviction of Alfred Dreyfus in what became known as the "Dreyfus Affair," I demand that the Disciplinary Counsel of the Supreme Court of Ohio institute disciplinary proceedings against me based on my accusation that U.S. District Court Judge Algenon ("Monty") Marbley and a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (composed of Judges Amul R. Thapar, Jeffrey S. Sutton, and David W. McKeague) blatantly, obviously, and illegally "fixed" a court case to cover up the perjury and legal malpractice of the politically-powerful "Am Law 200" law firm of Frost Brown Todd.
Moreover, as explained below on this website, I am offering over $100,000.00 to someone who can disprove my accusation.

As demonstrated in this short summary of the pleadings posted below, U.S. District Court Judge Algenon ("Monty") Marbley and a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit blatantly, obviously, and illegally "fixed" a court case not merely to cover up the perjury and legal malpractice of the law firm of Frost Brown Todd, but also to frame me — the son of Frost Brown Todd's client — for Frost Brown Todd's own legal malpractice.
Moreover, I am willing not only to risk my law license to say so, but also to put my money where my mouth is:
- I will give the American Bar Association (ABA) $10,000.00 to keep or to donate to the charity of its choice if the ABA can find any well-respected full-time law professor of its own choosing who will say that he or she is certain that the federal trial and appellate courts did not corruptly "fix" this case to favor the politically-powerful "Am Law 200" law firm of Frost Brown Todd.
- I am already offering $100,000.00 to anyone who can convince three law professors of his or her own choosing that the law firm of Frost Brown Todd did not commit blatant, obvious, and wholesale perjury in that case. The details of this offer are explained in this website below:
Finally, I demand that Ohio's attorney-disciplinary officials institute disbarment proceedings against me — based on my allegations of case-fixing against the trial and appellate judges — so that I will finally get a hearing on these allegations inasmuch as the judges in question denied all requests for oral argument in the legal-malpractice case against Frost Brown Todd, knowing that their favored side would lose if these issues were aired publicly.
