mike webb's attorney no stranger to "dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation."

A reader wrote BlatherWatch alerting us by saying: "Well, at least Mike Webb hired an attorney who has personal experience with fraudulent documentation."

He or she sent us this link to a Bar Association Discipline Notice for Webb's attorney, Bradley Marshall. Seems he was disciplined for violating rules of professional conduct (RPC's) in 1997. There are many complaints filed against lawyers by consumers, but if they get as far as a Bar Association hearing and a reprimand, it's a serious stain on an attorney's record.

We'll let you read it for yourself.                     

Discipline Notice
Effective Date: 3/27/1997
RPC   
3.3 - Candor Toward the Tribunal
4.1 - Truthfulness in Statements to Others
5.3 - Responsibilities Regarding Nonlawyer Assistants
8.4 (a) - Violate the RPCs
8.4 (c) - Dishonesty, Fraud, Deceit or Misrepresentation
8.4 (d) - Conduct Prejudicial to the Administration of Justice

Bradley R. Marshall (WSBA No. 15830, admitted 1986), of Seattle, has been reprimanded pursuant to the Disciplinary Board’s March 27, 1997 order, entered after a disciplinary hearing. The discipline is based upon Marshall’s handling of a case in which he instructed a member of his office staff to sign two declarations without the declarants’ permission and to emulate the declarants’ signatures. Without making any notation that the declarants had not signed these declarations, Marshall filed these declarations with the court. These actions violated RPC 3.3 (a)(1) and (a)(4), RPC 4.1 (a), RPC 5.3, and RPC 8.4 (a), (c), and (d).
Marshall’s client’s case had been dismissed on a summary judgment motion in part because declarations submitted by the client and another witness were not in the proper form. Marshall had his staff prepare amended declarations for his client and the witness, so the declarations would meet the requirements of Civil Rule 56, but did not change the substance of two declarations previously signed by the declarants. He later instructed his staff to sign the two declarations and to emulate the signatures of his client and the witness. He knowingly filed the declarations with the false signatures in support of a motion for reconsideration of an order. There were no notations on the declarations to indicate that the declarants had not signed them, and Marshall did not inform opposing counsel or the judge that the declarants had not signed the declarations. Although Marshall directed his staff to improperly sign declarations, he would not accept personal responsibility for the improper signatures or submitting false information to the court.
The Hearing Officer was C. Bradford Cattle of Everett. Kurt Bulmer of Seattle represented the Respondent. Disciplinary Counsel Anne Seidel and Jean Kelley McElroy represented the Bar Association.

I said "Hello". They said "Goodbye"
Thank You For Your Friendship during these past 35 years on the radio, especially the past 10, where we had a chance to really get to know one another and offer an alternative to the disgusting, corporate-driven nonsense masqerading as talk radio.

As a child in San Francisco, I enjoyed so much, turning on my little transistor radio - finding my true friends in the people who broadcast from the great stations KEWB, KYA, KFRC, KNBR and the legendary Gene Autry station, KSFO. It was always fun tuning the AM dial and DXing to WWL in New Orleans, always discovering.

When I finally entered the medium at the age of 14, I got to work at one of those legendary stations, hosting a show called "From the Campus", a little program they dumped in Sunday mornings at 3am. But it was a thrill for me. And then to become a beat reporter for the world's first alternative rock station, KMPX --- what an experience --- dodging rocks and billie clubs during Vietnam war protests.

Several news and music stations later and a trip to Seattle where I fell in love, enjoyed the management jobs but quite honestly, I felt more at home on the air than in my own house. There's just such a beautiful intimacy to it all, different than any other medium. I've been fortunate.

I could go on, but suffice it to say, that people come into our lives on time and they leave on time as well.

So Long,

Mike

Beat ya by 34 minutes....LOL!!!

this is the first time I haved read your blog; you state that you are truly liberal...but it seems that the loss of Mr. Webb doesn't bother you much...you think he has flaws, and is driven by anger...what thinking liberal is not driven by righteous anger about the various social and political issues of the day?...yeah, I agree he could be insolent and angry, but I actually prefer that to a host who is oily smooth and not sincere...and let's face it, most hosts are that way...I think KIRO might completely change it's format in the next year or so...the sad truth is, talk radio needs an informed audience of careing citizens; in my 30 years of listening to talk radio, I have noticed the "intelligence curve" of the audience steadily declining...along with other social factors in our backsliding culture...so, let's allget ready for more of those "feel-good-Oldies, and hip-hop our way to the ultimate demise of the good old USA!

j.d. is typical Seattle
"progressive" thinking in full force. Excsue any infraction by a leftie as ot not tarnish the "progressive" mantle.
Webb was an intolerant, anti-intellectual with sub-par radio skills (in his later days, I understand that he may have been a talented youth). I liken jd's argument to the King County/Seattle election debacle: it is a mess in our own backyard but the "progressive" holds his nose and yells, "Ohio." Failure to hold individuals and institutions accountable for their misdeeds and (in Webb's case deceit) tarnishes "progressives" more than meeting he problems head-on.

Glad to hear it, 1040! This, of course, means you'll be voting Democrat at the federal level this year. Right?

Sad to know that in just a misconduct work,all the hardship and sacrifices just to be an attorney has wasted,I hope this could be a lesson to everyone.

Religious make people believe in heaven has a we unseen person, he watched every time you have done everything, and this we see people have ten things don't want us to do, and if you do, he will send you to a place where people everywhere, the fire and smoke char, and you will never tolerate the pain and suffering, the flames and cries of pain, will continue until the end of time. However, he is love, and he needed the money.
4. Do you know the verdict, Texas what is the greatest impact? Fewer texans.
