RE: BBO File No(s). B4-07-0024 (Anthony Jordan Marotta Esq.)

Dear Miss Chambers:

I would like to appeal and transfer all information pertaining to BBO File No(s). B4-07-0024 for independent review as I am not satisfied with the decision reached.

According to the ABA Compendium of Professional Responsibility Rules and Standards, The Model Rules of Professional Conduct directly apply to any attorney, for they serve as models of the regulatory law governing the legal profession.

On pages 19 &20 of the ABA Compendium, The Preamble for Lawyers describes an attorney’s duty to uphold the law and that they by their profession are held to higher standards in terms of professional conduct.

Attorney Marotta’s dishonesty and misrepresentation of the facts in this case (Commonwealth vs Chu-Cong) applies to when he changed the trial date (please see Motion to Change Trial Date and Letter dated May 25, 2006 Re: Public Records Request from the DA’s Office) to have Reverend Joyce present to testify as a rebuttal witness. The morning of the trial Attorney Marotta did not allow Reverend Joyce to testify. Attorney Marotta gave Reverend Joyce disingenuous information (please see Rev Joyce’s Affidavit) telling him he was unable to testify due to the defense objecting. The defense did not object. Furthermore, according to the court transcript, no motion was ever filed before the court. (See Transcripts Commonwealth vs Chu-Cong.) This is a violation according to the ABA Compendium (Page 106) of Rule 4:1 (a).

Attorney Marotta did not tell me prior to my giving testimony the plea bargain offered by the defense. (Please see both Affidavits of Rev. Peter Joyce and Kristi Seymour)

I will be interested in being notified as to who will be examining this case at this stage. I am also requesting all and any information generated on this case.

Sincerely,

Sister Keri M. Burnor

Dear Miss Grant,

This is a complaint regarding the letter of determination and closing the BBO File No(s). B4-07-0024 (Anthony Jordan Marotta, Esq.) dated July 24, 2007 written in response to my grievance by Miss Sarah A. Chambers.

Miss Chambers mislead and misinformed me as to the Professional Responsibility Rules and Standards, The Model Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys and my rights based on them.

Please accept this as my initiation for a complaint in reference to Miss Chambers’ actions. I respectfully request an independent review of Miss Chambers’ investigation relating to my complaint against Attorney Anthony Jordan Marotta.

I further base my request for this complaint on Miss Chambers’ lack of proper standards of operation for investigations and dishonesty.

Miss Chambers failed to interview any supporting witnesses (the affiants, Reverend Peter Joyce and Kristi Seymour) for which I took the liberty to provide affidavits. As of August 2, 2007, neither Reverend Peter Joyce nor Kristi Seymour received any contact from Miss Chambers or anyone representing investigations for the Board Bar of Overseers.

As a life-long citizen of Massachusetts I had higher expectations of lawyers and those serving in firms claiming to uphold justice and having the concerns of the Commonwealth as their primary goal and interest.

I respectfully ask receipt of this letter.

Sincerely and gratefully yours,

Sister Keri M. Burnor
