1998 - The decisions of a Denver Probate Court judge that deprived 83-year-old Letty Milstein of her rights and her money were slapped down by the Colorado Court of Appeals.
The case of Letty Milstein, mother of Denver socialite Judi Wolf, was sent back to the probate court by the appellate court. One of Letty's attorneys, Cris Campbell, says he will seek the return of more than a half-million dollars taken from his client's estate by what Campbell calls "that incestuous little group of lawyers, conservators and guardians down at the probate court."
Although the Court of Appeals decision does not name or criticize Probate Judge C. Jean Stewart directly, it describes--and reverses--error after error in her handling of the case.
Most important, the decision affirmed that Letty--and for that matter, any allegedly incapacitated person--has the right under Colorado law to be represented by counsel and to attend all legal proceedings in person.

Let the celebration begin!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that there are some real judges out there!
ReplyDelete"Incest" is nothing new - in NY, we called it "The Incest Club."
The whole scheme/scam is laid out by the gang before it gets filed or docketed!
Notice tho -- what they're charging him with is a single count of wire fraud. That's what cooks their goose in reality -- it's not all the stealing.
ReplyDelete1998? This is 2009! They say the wheels of justice grind slowly, but this is beyond outrageous and nothing short of a miracle that Letty Milstein survived this.
ReplyDeleteThis story is a great find -- it's a sure spirit lifter!
ReplyDeleteWow! I would love to hear atty Campbell's delivery on his "That incestuous little group" speech.
ReplyDeleteI bet it was a doozie!
It is encouraging to see this scenario from 1998 -- wins ARE possible!
