RTL was founded not by a Bar Enforcement Authority (BEA) or professor but a practicing attorney who claims no superior ethics, academic, or other qualifications. He became aware of BEA failures only after, in entirely unwelcome circumstances, he encountered attorney fraud causing >$150M in harm, reported it to DC & VT BEAs as required (since he is a member of both), and saw both do nothing to stop, mitigate, or rectify the fraud.

Were any of these or other RTL statements untrue, DC and/or VT would certainly sanction the attorney, and they have not. Further, RTL has long-offered that if any DC or VT BEA believe there is any basis to rebut any of what this website says, their rebuttals would be posted here. None has ever rebutted a single statement.

Although DC & VT’s failures are well-documented, they’re not unique. Hopefully attorneys in other jurisdictions — perhaps those who are semi-retired and/or otherwise less vulnerable to Bar retaliation (as is RTL’s Founder) — will similarly confront their BEAs’ failures.

RTL is a non-profit law firm, and questions posed to it will be protected as privileged to the same extent as with any other law firm.
