Appeal Filed in Smoron Case

The attorney for Samuel Manzo, an heir to the Smoron farm property, has filed an appeal against a New Britain probate judge's ruling that essentially gave Smoron's land and cash assets to three local churches.

Manzo's attorney Barry Pontolillo, filed the appeal this week in New Britain Superior Court.

The complaint states that Probate Judge Walter Clebowicz's July 20 decision was inconsistent with Southington Probate Judge Bryan Meccariello's order to reconsider and rehear the trust application.

Meccariello recused himself from the Smoron case in February after Manzo filed a complaint with the Council on Probate Judicial Conduct.

These probate judges must think they're God!

How long can they get away with the stealing of family assets which goes on in their courts?

Why is it the attorneys can take your money to defend you and then when the legal battle becomes difficult & knowing full well that you are correct... your attorney just withdraws from the case leaving you high and dry instead of representing you as they agreed to do??? They go and hide... Weinies!!!

The church is on the probate judge's side in this one. Unfortunatly, greed has no low point.
