Maryland Democrat Party Secretary wants to dox us

[welder516]

The whole 3 or 4 page letter pretty much say we are the problem and not his client . His client can say what he wants and we are judged on what we say . The whole thing is one huge farce IMHO

 

[Not_an_outlaw]

Yea, but what did the bar association claim? Sounds like an attorney zealously defending his/her client. Normal behavior. I don't care what anyone may or may not have done, that doesn't make it right or legal.

What does the BAR have to say.

Okay , here is the Bar Asses .. C. Shea McSpaden ,

The inquiry into your complaint is concluded
I have determined based on an evaluation of the information provided , that there is a insufficient basis to demonstrate misconduct or that the overall circumstances do not warrant an investigation . As such this file is closed .

The jurisdiction of this office is generally limited to reviewing conduct that may be in violation of the Maryland Attorneys' rules of professional conduct

Not only is our jurisdiction limited . but our ultimate burden of proof to establish a violation of the rules requires clear and convincing evidence .
These factors have been taken into consideration in closing this file .

Pretty much sums that up .

It still cost him at least a grand to hire an attorney to respond, probably more.

Amen brother , I actually thought I would never hear from the board not even a response . So at least they answered a letter .

I was told by a lawyer that they will discipline only if the attorney steals money from a client all else is fair game .

No worries on my end .

Disappointed... but not surprised.

I just looked up "Maryland Lawyer's Rules of Professional Conduct"

Obviously written by a lawyer

I guess encouraging or breaking the law is not unethical.

Didn't have to look long. Item 5 seems to address the issue.

Shakespeare might have been on to something.

I'm a little surprised they have a problem with stealing from clients

From the guy's web site, this is his practice so I doubt he did it for free.

Since 1992, Mr. Brennan’s practice has emphasized representation of attorneys in defense of professional liability civil cases and attorney discipline cases.​

I haven't looked at a lawyer's professional liability policy in a long time to know if it would respond to a complaint like Welder's, but it's a good bet that Robbie's firm's insurance carrier hired the guy, and paid his bill except for whatever the policy's deductible is.

 

[welder516]

Often companies eat cost out of pocket for smaller issues and save the insurance for the big issues , you don't want your MOD rating to be high or even raised . Otherwise rates would be risen once you have multiple claims .


This may serve as a reminder he has a professional responsibility to the firm he works for and can not go around wanting to Dox people he does not agree with . If he is a thorn to the Bar Ass and the firm he works for they could have already spoke to him to keep his mouth shut ,
Then again maybe not .

And yes the bar got it wrong based on the Number 5 on the code of conduct as NotAn Outlaw has stated

No, the problem arises when they are caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

You might point this out to the Bar Assn.

PP puts out protected speech. Too bad if they don't care for it. Threats of doxxing are perhaps a different matter. Obviously one Dem dox threatener got slapped down hard; where's the "equal justice"?

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

One paragraph , by Stephan Y Brennan Quoted and written the exact way

Mr. Welder and the "We will not comply / Patriot Picket" group of which he is a member have adopted a slogan that is confrontational , inflammatory and defiant , as they openly state that if certain firearm laws are passed they will not follow those laws . Members of Mr. Welders group disrupt political hearings . This does not lend itself to civil political discourse . Indeed , this behavior is viewed by many as tactics to intimidate , rather then to persuade .


More to follow

Interesting take by Mr Brennan. His client actually violated a law but Mr Brennan states that Mr Welder and the PP group are the offenders and now the lawmakers are disrupted from PERSUADING us we need LAWS that we don't need and somehow are the ones at fault for squelching Political Discourse.

If I am not mistaken, to have broken a law, there has to have actually been a law to break. Free speech is not exactly against the law, YET.

But Calls to DOX folks sure is.

And away we go.
