November 21, 2013 at 12:41 P.M. A bogus so-called "Final Order" from New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs has been posted on-line by Trenton officials, I surmise. These officials have failed to notice that the Division of Consumer Affairs -- unlike the OAE -- does not have "Final" as opposed to "Intermediate Orders," nor would a civil contract Order/Judgment from 1996 have validity in 2013, nor was such an Order ever obtained against me, to the best of my knowledge, nor could I be the "Respondent" in an action brought by this agency on its own, without naming the litigant seeking damages against me. ("John McGill, Esq., the OAE, and New Jersey Corruption" then "New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System" finally "Sexual Favors For New Jersey Judges.")
I am aware that persons were threatened or pressured to seek return of fees paid to me for litigation, probably so that files could be stolen by other lawyers -- such as Gilberto Garcia or Estela De La Cruz, perhaps -- and I did so when appropriate. A litigant seeking reimbursal would be referred by the Division of Consumer Affairs to the OAE. There are no unreimbursed fees in my matters in 2013, nor have I ever been accused of stealing from anyone. However, I have been stolen from by lawyers acting for New Jersey officials and others.
I trust that other smears will be more adept, New Jersey. ("Is Menendez For Sale?" and "Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks" then "Menendez Consorts With Underage Prostitutes.")
November 20, 2013 at 2:30 P.M. I was unable to make a computer reservation at NYPL, Morningside Heights, due to sabotage. Luckily, I was able to sign-on today without a reservation. Efforts to prevent me from writing on-line continue to take place. I cannot use any e-mail account nor can I post images to accompany my texts. ("How censorship works in America.")

If so, at whose request has she acted, illegally, against me and/or my family members, both while I was an attorney and since that time?

Hannah Adeley, "New Questions About Zisa's Payout: Records Show Sick Days Cashed In Twice," [sic.] The Record, November 15, 2013, p. A-1.
Ken Zisa is a perfect example and embodiment of New Jersey's legal power-structure and hierarchy, also of the hypocrisy and contradictions that have defined New Jersey, for many people, as a failed jurisdiction when it comes to corruption as well as the absence of legal ethics. ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State" and "New Jersey's Failed Judiciary.")
Mr. Zisa was formerly a Chief of Police and also Municipal Court Judge in Hackensack: he was usually abrupt, rude, ignorant of the law as a non-lawyer, often unforgiving of human frailty in the unfortunate persons appearing before him, even as he was rumored to be "affiliated" with organized crime and was "seen with," or said to know, the likes of Jay Romano and "Big Nicky" Sacco in addition to Diana Lisa Riccioli. There were others dealing with Mr. Zisa, like Dennis Oury and Joe Ferreiro, who have since been indicted for only some of their many crimes. ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.")
Persons like Mr. Zisa must be held to a high standard because they disgrace lofty offices, as Stuart Rabner must be held to the highest possible standard of ethical conduct as the Chief Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court. ("Have you no shame, Mr. Rabner?" and "No More Cover-Ups and Lies, Chief Justice Rabner!")
Mr. Zisa was indicted for criminal fraud victimizing an insurance company (meaning policy holders and the state) in collusion with a former mistress, tried, convicted, then sentenced to 3 to 5 years in prison by a crony on the bench, who allowed Mr. Zisa to walk out of the courtroom AFTER sentencing and enjoy house arrest pending appeal, without detailed explanation for this unusual decision.
This "release" on new bail after final sentence following conviction is unprecedented under New Jersey law. To my knowledge, this extraordinary remedy has never been afforded to any African-American defendant in the entire legal history of New Jersey. Sharpe James never came close to committing Mr. Zisa's offenses and has served his prison time. Mr. James is African-American. ("So Black and So Blue in Prison" and "Justice For Mumia Abu-Jamal.")
A number of other members of the Zisa "family" are still found in key positions of power in Bergen County and elsewhere in New Jersey.
Claims of "unofficial assistance" received by Mr. Zisa from the local prosecutor's office and other state officials (family members, perhaps?) have not been investigated and will probably be ignored.
This continuing Zisa farce suggests to observers that New Jersey's legal proceedings -- especially with regard to what are laughingly called, "ethics" -- are a sham obscuring behind-the-scenes "deal-making" (or bribery) that alone explains the ludicrous outcomes that are routine in Garden State corruption and ethics cases:
"Former Hackensack Police Chief Ken Zisa may have been paid twice for unused sick time in 2010 -- once for June, 2010 amid public discussion about his payout and, quietly, months earlier, as part of a large bond measure."
With Mr. Zisa's indictment and numerous lawsuits against him for official misconduct -- for which the taxpayers will be liable, ultimately -- Mr. Zisa received a buyout "funded by a $4.6 million bond ordinance that was supposed to be for retiring employees."
As a result of this generosity, Mr. Zisa (despite his conviction!), who was NOT retiring, "got paid $94,513."
Three months later, according to city manager Stephen Lo Iaccono, Mr. Zisa cashed-out $53,671 in so-called "unused sick pay."
Mr. Zisa still has not retired. He continues to receive compensation. To my knowledge, based on news accounts, Mr. Zisa has not served one day of the lenient prison sentence that he received after one of the counts on which he had been convicted was, inexplicably, thrown out by the trial judge who had been appointed with Zisa's help, allegedly.
There has been no resolution of the so-called "appeals" by the prosecutor (which would not reduce, but could only increase the already existing sentence) in this fascinating case:
"Zisa was charged with insurance fraud [an offense that involves lying per se or lack of moral probity] for allegedly intervening after a 2008 automobile accident involving his girlfriend at the time, KATHLEEN TIERNAN. [Allegations that Mr. Zisa assaulted and struck Ms. Tiernan have not been confirmed or denied by Mr. Zisa.] Authorities said she appeared intoxicated, but Zisa ordered officers then to write in the accident report that she swerved to avoid an animal. Zisa also took Tiernan from the scene before she could be given a sobriety test. Zisa also was charged with official misconduct after allegedly interfering with a 2004 assault and robbery case."
Mr. Zisa was, and remains, a far worse person than anyone he ever sentenced. Curiously, Mr. Zisa "served" on the ethics committee that went after me, possibly at the request of local officials upset because I do not cooperate with corruption.
Estela De La Cruz may have been a decision-maker in the same ethics matters concerning me in which she had, secretly and illegally, acted to harm me from behind my back. ("Is Menendez For Sale?" and "Bribery in Union City, New Jersey.")
Mr. Zisa is a man who cannot know the meaning of the word "ethics," even as Stuart Rabner may be a worse human being, a greater hypocrite, or bigger crook -- allegedly, fond of envelopes filled with Solomon Dwek's cash -- than most of those whose ethics he presumes to judge. ("Herbert Klitzner, Esq.'s Greed and New Jersey's Hypocrisy" and "What did you know, Mr. Rabner, and when did you know it?")
I cannot accept (or even take seriously) the ethical judgments of such persons, nor do most people who are now following these events in many places in the world. ("An Open Letter to My Torturers in New Jersey, Terry Tuchin and Diana Lisa Riccioli" and "Psychological Torture in America's Legal System" then "New Jersey is Stronger Than the Storm!")
The judiciary depends on respect and legitimacy. The institutions of law cannot function effectively when they become laughable or obscene displays of criminality or duplicity. ("New Jersey's Judges Disgrace America.")
Both of these values -- respect and legitimacy -- have been lost or abandoned by New Jersey's courts. ("Stuart Rabner and the Decline in New Jersey's Supreme Court" and "New Jersey Supreme Court's Implosion.")
There is still time to ameliorate the harm done by this criminal conspiracy against me, Mr. Rabner. Many innocent persons have been and will be hurt by your failure to deal with this crisis in your state's legal system much earlier than today. ("Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics.")
Nothing will prevent me from pursuing the truth and justice in my life, however long it may take to achieve results. By acting today in response to my requests, Mr. Rabner, you can ease the suffering of many persons. Do the right thing for once, Mr. Rabner, and end the cover-ups today. ("New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System" and "John McGill, Esq., the OAE, and New Jersey Corruption.")
