A Watchdog group has filed a complaint with the New York Attorney General Letitia J.
The Center to Advance Security in America said in its complaint that “Fraud and misrepresentation are all factors the Rules of Professional Conduct explicitly consider when deciding whether to discipline an Attorney.”
A conservative watchdog group filed a bar complaint against New York Attorney General Letitia J. James, accusing her of professional misconduct in relation to her Norfolk, Virginia mortgage. These allegations were at the heart of her recent dismissed federal charges.
According to the New York Post, the Center to Advance Security in America filed a complaint at the Attorney Grievance Committee of the state accusing James James of engaging in an “illegal and dishonest” conduct in relation to the mortgage that she took out for the property.
The group claims that James’ actions are in violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct of New York, which governs lawyers’ ethical conduct.
The outlet reported that “Fraud and misrepresentation are all factors the Rules of Professional Conduct explicitly consider when weighing if to discipline an attorney,” Curtis Schube wrote in a four-page complaint.
Letitia Jame was indicted on charges of falsifying documents relating to mortgages.
The complaint filed on Friday comes after James’ indictment on October 9 for allegedly fabricating mortgage documents to obtain a $109 600 loan on Norfolk, Va. property she claimed was her primary residence, but which has been occupied by a granddaughter with a lengthy criminal record.
According to prosecutors, the apparently fraudulent terms of the loan resulted in her receiving an extra $19,000 over the life of the mortgage.
James’ 2020-2021-2022-2023 disclosures to New York State Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government included a Norfolk house as an “investment property” valued between “$100,000.0-under $150,000”. She reported that it paid her between $1,000 and $5,000.
No person is above the law!
