Glendale, CA – Los Angeles Superior Court Judge
            Soussan Bruguera has issued an Order to Show
            Cause for Glendale Bankruptcy Attorney James G.
            Beirne for being in contempt of court over 200 times
            after he began an advertising push entitled “Setting
            the Record Straight” which began coming out in the
            Weekend and Midweek editions of Balita newspapers
            a month ago.

Atty Beirne is under a court order since the summer of 2011 to
            not have any false, misleading, deceptive advertising or
            communications, or such advertising that tends to
            confuse, deceive or mislead the public; or to not guaranty any
            outcome on a legal matter, or to use a spokesperson without
            disclosure of the spokesperson‟s title. The maximum sentence
            for all these counts would be three (3) years in jail and about
            $200,000 in fines, plus attorney fees. However, it would be
            expected that the sentence would not be that harsh. The
            contempt trial process has been ordered to commence on
            Monday, February 27, 2012.

The court order stemmed from a motion for a
            preliminary injunction filed in June 2011 by Diosdado
            and Janet Duldulao, whose house in Eagle Rock was
            foreclosed due to Atty Beirne‟s failure to file
            bankruptcy petition for the couple, a service that the
            couple had sought to receive from the attorney after
            paying him a substantial sum of money. The
            Duldulaos had alleged in their suit that Atty Beirne
            had committed fraud and malpractice, among a
            number of other charges.

But last month, reacting to an expose that
            PinoyWatchDog.com unleashed in its November 26, 2011
            issue, Balita Media began an advertising campaign designed
            to deflect the force of PinoyWatchDog.com‟s disclosures (Two
            Clients Tell Bad Experience with Atty Beirne). Attorney Beirne
            had an open letter entitled “Setting the Record Straight.”
            Among the over 200 allegations of contempt is the statement
            that “the latest edition of [PinoyWatchDog.com] mentioned a
            couple of people who were turned down by us over 10 years
            ago, because they were not qualified for the relief they
            sought.”

Since I wrote the story I know who the two clients having
            bad experiences are. And PinoyWatchDog.com has
            obtained documents showing that Attorney Beirne‟s
            statements about these two clients are total deception.
            We have documents to prove that this couple of people
            who were turned down by Beirne 10 years ago was in fact
            clients of the Law Office of James Beirne as late as five
            years ago. The law office took their fees and failed to
            deliver the services they were seeking. These “couple of
            people” were Reynaldo Anson Villarica and the Pecaoco
            couple of Burbank.




3/10/2012                      Atty. James Beirne Contempt              8
The Gertrudes and Rick Pecaoco bankruptcy petitions
            were signed by Atty. Beirne in 2008, not over ten years
            ago, and obviously she was not turned down because he
            was signing legal documents on the case. Pecaoco came
            forward to PinoyWatchDog.com because Beirne refused
            to provide a refund, which is quite inconsistent with the
            protestation that they were not qualified.

3/10/2012   Atty. James Beirne Contempt   10
Rey Villarica, the other Beirne client in my story, had given
            PinoyWatchDog.com a 2006 letter from James Beirne‟s office
            that clearly showed work still in progress. Mr. Villarica also felt
            he was entitled to a refund, and wonders now why his money
            was taken if he was not qualified for the relief that was sought.

            Another part of the letter advertisement claimed that for almost
            20 years the majority of Filipinos in the Los Angeles area have
            been familiar with the excellent work done by the Beirne Law
            Office. PinoyWatchDog.com contends that Beirne‟s claim can
            not be true, as only one attorney handles 800 files in his law
            office, so it is hard to understand how the work can be
            excellent.

But it is equally hard to claim that over half of our
            kababayans know of this man, and certainly half do
            not know of his excellent work. One media observer
            told me “did half the people even know why Johnny
            Cochran was famous before the O.J. trial? For that
            volume of people to know of someone‟s work product
            is impossible unless they were a president or mass
            murderer.”




3/10/2012                     Atty. James Beirne Contempt           12
Another area of contempt charges involve Beirne‟s
            claim that he is a „charter‟ member of the National
            Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys. Guess
            what we found out? They do not even know what a
            charter member means. But, we are not the ultimate
            arbiters of Balita and Atty Beirne‟s “mockery of justice,”
            a phrase made fashionable by Balita‟s own Executive
            Editor, Rhony Laigo. The flagrant violations of an
            outstanding court order by the Law Office of Jame
            Beirne will be decided when this law suit goes to trial in
            the end of Feburary 2012.




3/10/2012                       Atty. James Beirne Contempt              13
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this story is Beirne‟s
            scathing attack on Attorney Joel Bander that may very well end
            up in court. Bander is representing the Duldulaos in this very
            case, and obtained the court order that is now being contested
            as violated.

            Beirne‟s letter contains the standard reckless Balita charges
            against Bander. But since Beirne is now alleged to have
            violated a court order for truthfulness, these long-made
            allegations might actually have some airing in a court of law.




3/10/2012                          Atty. James Beirne Contempt               14
The attacks vary from Bander allegedly being obsessed to do
            damage to Beirne, how Bander has a „hatred‟ for Beirne, and
            about alleged defects in Bander‟s former law firm.

            Bander told the court on Thursday, January 5, 2012 that he
            would not be trial counsel as he would be a witness. Bander
            has told PinoyWatchDog.com that Dennis Wilson of Burbank
            will be handling the contempt trial. “Attorney Wilson is a great
            trial lawyer. He lives in court. I am happy to have him on the
            team,” Bander said.

            Attorney Wilson was unavailable for comment, as he was in
            court.

  • 3. Glendale, CA – Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Soussan Bruguera has issued an Order to Show Cause for Glendale Bankruptcy Attorney James G. Beirne for being in contempt of court over 200 times after he began an advertising push entitled “Setting the Record Straight” which began coming out in the Weekend and Midweek editions of Balita newspapers a month ago. 3/10/2012 Atty. James Beirne Contempt 3
  • 4. Atty Beirne is under a court order since the summer of 2011 to not have any false, misleading, deceptive advertising or communications, or such advertising that tends to confuse, deceive or mislead the public; or to not guaranty any outcome on a legal matter, or to use a spokesperson without disclosure of the spokesperson‟s title. The maximum sentence for all these counts would be three (3) years in jail and about $200,000 in fines, plus attorney fees. However, it would be expected that the sentence would not be that harsh. The contempt trial process has been ordered to commence on Monday, February 27, 2012. 3/10/2012 Atty. James Beirne Contempt 4
  • 5. 3/10/2012 Atty. James Beirne Contempt 5
  • 6. The court order stemmed from a motion for a preliminary injunction filed in June 2011 by Diosdado and Janet Duldulao, whose house in Eagle Rock was foreclosed due to Atty Beirne‟s failure to file bankruptcy petition for the couple, a service that the couple had sought to receive from the attorney after paying him a substantial sum of money. The Duldulaos had alleged in their suit that Atty Beirne had committed fraud and malpractice, among a number of other charges. 3/10/2012 Atty. James Beirne Contempt 6
  • 7. But last month, reacting to an expose that PinoyWatchDog.com unleashed in its November 26, 2011 issue, Balita Media began an advertising campaign designed to deflect the force of PinoyWatchDog.com‟s disclosures (Two Clients Tell Bad Experience with Atty Beirne). Attorney Beirne had an open letter entitled “Setting the Record Straight.” Among the over 200 allegations of contempt is the statement that “the latest edition of [PinoyWatchDog.com] mentioned a couple of people who were turned down by us over 10 years ago, because they were not qualified for the relief they sought.” 3/10/2012 Atty. James Beirne Contempt 7
  • 8. Since I wrote the story I know who the two clients having bad experiences are. And PinoyWatchDog.com has obtained documents showing that Attorney Beirne‟s statements about these two clients are total deception. We have documents to prove that this couple of people who were turned down by Beirne 10 years ago was in fact clients of the Law Office of James Beirne as late as five years ago. The law office took their fees and failed to deliver the services they were seeking. These “couple of people” were Reynaldo Anson Villarica and the Pecaoco couple of Burbank. 3/10/2012 Atty. James Beirne Contempt 8
  • 9. The Gertrudes and Rick Pecaoco bankruptcy petitions were signed by Atty. Beirne in 2008, not over ten years ago, and obviously she was not turned down because he was signing legal documents on the case. Pecaoco came forward to PinoyWatchDog.com because Beirne refused to provide a refund, which is quite inconsistent with the protestation that they were not qualified. 3/10/2012 Atty. James Beirne Contempt 9

  • 11. Rey Villarica, the other Beirne client in my story, had given PinoyWatchDog.com a 2006 letter from James Beirne‟s office that clearly showed work still in progress. Mr. Villarica also felt he was entitled to a refund, and wonders now why his money was taken if he was not qualified for the relief that was sought. Another part of the letter advertisement claimed that for almost 20 years the majority of Filipinos in the Los Angeles area have been familiar with the excellent work done by the Beirne Law Office. PinoyWatchDog.com contends that Beirne‟s claim can not be true, as only one attorney handles 800 files in his law office, so it is hard to understand how the work can be excellent. 3/10/2012 Atty. James Beirne Contempt 11
  • 12. But it is equally hard to claim that over half of our kababayans know of this man, and certainly half do not know of his excellent work. One media observer told me “did half the people even know why Johnny Cochran was famous before the O.J. trial? For that volume of people to know of someone‟s work product is impossible unless they were a president or mass murderer.” 3/10/2012 Atty. James Beirne Contempt 12
  • 13. Another area of contempt charges involve Beirne‟s claim that he is a „charter‟ member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys. Guess what we found out? They do not even know what a charter member means. But, we are not the ultimate arbiters of Balita and Atty Beirne‟s “mockery of justice,” a phrase made fashionable by Balita‟s own Executive Editor, Rhony Laigo. The flagrant violations of an outstanding court order by the Law Office of Jame Beirne will be decided when this law suit goes to trial in the end of Feburary 2012. 3/10/2012 Atty. James Beirne Contempt 13
  • 14. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this story is Beirne‟s scathing attack on Attorney Joel Bander that may very well end up in court. Bander is representing the Duldulaos in this very case, and obtained the court order that is now being contested as violated. Beirne‟s letter contains the standard reckless Balita charges against Bander. But since Beirne is now alleged to have violated a court order for truthfulness, these long-made allegations might actually have some airing in a court of law. 3/10/2012 Atty. James Beirne Contempt 14
  • 15. The attacks vary from Bander allegedly being obsessed to do damage to Beirne, how Bander has a „hatred‟ for Beirne, and about alleged defects in Bander‟s former law firm. Bander told the court on Thursday, January 5, 2012 that he would not be trial counsel as he would be a witness. Bander has told PinoyWatchDog.com that Dennis Wilson of Burbank will be handling the contempt trial. “Attorney Wilson is a great trial lawyer. He lives in court. I am happy to have him on the team,” Bander said. Attorney Wilson was unavailable for comment, as he was in court. 3/10/2012 Atty. James Beirne Contempt 15
