“Victims are created in two ways: by violence or by deceit. Either type of assault immediately renders the victim hostage to the perpetrator.”
Professional Ethics Violations and Abuse of the Legal Process are a growing problem in our nation and our courts of law.
Legal Abuse Syndrome is a psycho legal trauma (a form of post traumatic stress disorder), which often develops in individuals assaulted by ethical violations, legal abuses, betrayals, and fraud. Abuse of power and authority and a profound lack of accountability in our courts have become rampant.

According to Karin Huffer, author of Overcoming the Devastation of Legal Abuse Syndrome, you may be suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome:
1) if you feel deeply disillusioned and oppressed as a result of your experience with the legal system.
2) if you have been frustrated in your effort to obtain justice.
3) if you feel your dreams and plans for your life were torn from you by a system that supposedly was there to protect your rights and property.
4) if you fear that the system will defeat you at every turn and there is nothing you can do about it.
5) if you feel you have been victimized several times over by the perpetrators, by lawyers, judges, bailiffs and other court personnel. As a consequence, you may suffer from tension and anxiety and have recurring nightmares, and you may also feel emotionally and physically exhausted, numb, disconnected and vulnerable.

All of the symptoms of legal abuse syndrome apply to victims of guardianship/conservatorship abuse -- and their families.
The devestation of being rendered helpless to defend your loved one is a despair that none of us will ever get over.
Legal Abuse Syndrome is real! After over 5 1/2 years of fighting and getting nowhere, but hanging in there, we feel impotent.
There is NO help or prevention.
My father is dead now. The lawyer/conservator & judge's actions resulted in his death. They only wanted his money.
My family is in Wayne County, MI. Our court experience started in 2005 and so far has lasted 4 years. He died in 2008, even though he was extremely healthy in 2005 when this began. DAD'S EXPERIENCE MAKES DICKENS PALE IN COMPARISON.
