Please have a look at the MG update of March 8, 2017.
This relates to a scaled relinquishment agreement NM presented to MG and MG presented to us strongly advocating it was not acceptable and far from a fair deal.
MG did have clients from our group who did decide to accept this relinquishment agreement, paid as directed by MG, and have yet to receive their release. The couple who I am talking about sent in their relinquishment payment in April of 2017.
The typical way any release needs to be done and has been done through other lawyers representing people like us is you pay your relinquishment fee in trust and the money is held until NM completes and sends the signed release paperwork back. At this point the money in trust is then released once everything is 100% in place to satisfy both parties involved. If it is not done this way there is no incentive or reason for NM to provide the release until they want to complete the release.
If you participated in this March 2017 relinquishment agreement and have not received your NM release please send me an email and I will be using this info to following up with the BC Law Society related to a file I have already opened with them. This is additional proof that goes to the heart of the my complaint that MG will not handle the 1285 releases properly after we have provided $45,000,000 for this to end based on the Michael Geldert settlement agreement.
Please email me at
back123@shaw.ca if you are one of these people who have paid and not received their release or if you are someone who has paid money into trust with another lawyer and received your release before the money was released to NM is also an important part of this argument.
If you are a person who paid MG to be released in the past and has not received your release you should also put in your own written complaint with the BC Law Society professionalconduct@lsbc.org right away so a file can be opened on your behalf – if the money was or wasn’t sent in by MG to NM already for your release and you have not received it, a breach exists for the trust account MG has on our behalf and a breach of the trust account is a reason for the Law Society to intervene on all our behalves. The increased numbers of complaints related to the MG trust account will aid in the Law Society expediting an audit of the MG trust account.
I for one have no trust MG can handle any type of release properly as a result of his constant lies, failing to represent us properly going back to the 1st BC Jeke trial where he suddenly withdrew the prepared evidence), administratively, or having any incentive to do the required work promptly. He has seen to it that we are the ones at risk based on a Settlement Agreement Michael Geldert alone committed us to without our consent that prejudices and penalizes us far beyond what a reasonable settlement would have looked like if he truly negotiated in our best interests.
