Kerry Steigerwalt of Pacific Law Center says he was the “fall guy”
In response to the above posting that Kerry Steiegerwalt will walk. Maybe, unless the "corporate veil is pierced" and judging from my past business experience in operating a corporation for a small business, you cannot have it both ways. If you are saying you are an entity you are not (Kerry Steigerwalt's Pacific Law Center, LLP)first of all you must have partners (and file with the state. All the articles say the Kerry announced he had "100%" ownership - where are the lawyer patners - whoops! Then you have several other corporations which have no rhyme or reason to what, if anything, was deposited into those corporations. My small business "C" corporation, with only 4 employees, was audited by the EDD, State 'Franchise Tax Board and the IRS twice. If those agencies act in any way like they did with me, Kerry Steigerwalt will not walk. And if the State is broke, they should be looking into people like Kerry.— July 24, 2010 1:01 p.m.
Kerry Steigerwalt of Pacific Law Center says he was the “fall guy”
I stumbled on to the UT blogs from current and former cliens of Mr. Steigerwalt and dare I say, none of them are the least bit flattering. Felonious is the first word that comes to mind when I read about Steigerwalt taking money from these people and leaving them high and dry. Here is one of the comments on the UT blog: "pacific law center is opening another firm with new owner but the same lawyer, i was told after i asked for my money back and told me to hang on tell we open the new firm and we will refile the case for you after this problem will be resolved , and agreed to refile for free but they said my case will go to the new office,,,,,i filed a complain with California bar association and attorney general . so when i ask for my money they told me to take a hike we don't refund money but i am going after them tell i get my money i am out more than 5000 dollar and i might lose my house. That is a small sampling. I just think if that guy "McConnville" or something like that - who ripped off a bunch of people in a mortgage scam is not any different than Steigerwalt and Simon. After some serious reporting, McConnville finally got indicted.... I would like to think that Don would stick up for the little guy, not just illegitimate "high profile" guys like poor Kerry Steigerwalt and Bill Simon, Jr. at San Diego Law Firm (at the expense of the little guy).— July 24, 2010 12:04 p.m.
Kerry Steigerwalt of Pacific Law Center says he was the “fall guy”
Response to post #52 - Hardly got a pass? You have not scratched the surface of damage Mr. Steigerwalt has caused in the lives of hundreds of down and out San Diegans....that is a pass my friend. So when will you do the real reporting and find out what he has done and report it. I think you still have what it takes Don, step up!— July 23, 2010 10:39 p.m.
Kerry Steigerwalt of Pacific Law Center says he was the “fall guy”
Respnse to comment #49 - I don't think that you can "undo" fraud. But Kerry or the State Bar or the District Attorney, or the United States Attorney might know better than I. Seems like the misrepresentation has been done. Kind of like returning the merchandise to the store after you have stolen it. Nice gesture, but doesn't count.— July 23, 2010 7:19 p.m.
Kerry Steigerwalt of Pacific Law Center says he was the “fall guy”
Response to #45 - Don, sometimes the piano player needs to feed his family. So that gives Kerry a pass in your eyes - really? History is nice in history books. How about some new "news" Don?— July 23, 2010 12:40 p.m.
Kerry Steigerwalt of Pacific Law Center says he was the “fall guy”
The Bigger question is, what if anything will the California Bar Do and when? The Bar has not done squat. They are "monitoring the situation" and that is somewhat of a joke. Unless complaints are filed with the State Bar, Kerry can abandon away.....which is what he is doing with gusto. He is probably planning his next trip to Hawaii to stash the cash. Too bad.— July 23, 2010 7:46 a.m.
Kerry Steigerwalt of Pacific Law Center says he was the “fall guy”
The Arizona connection is old news and it is like the president blaming the last administration, I don't care if you are Dem or Rep. It get's old...especially after a few years. Don, can you write a story about what is happening now? And isn't that why they call it "News" anyway? Just this last week....not over two years ago.... people are saying that Kerry transferred hundreds of cases to other lawyers unbenounced to his clients. That is news. Or people going to the Chula Vista and Escondido KSPLC office only to find the doors closed and no message or direction...news.— July 22, 2010 10:18 p.m.
Kerry Steigerwalt of Pacific Law Center says he was the “fall guy”
re: "Kerry Steigerwalt's Pacific Law Center, LLP" The Secretary of State says it never existed. A major no-no that leaves you open to be sued personally. Can he transfer clients like cattle? Me thinks not. So why not report them and let the government who is supposed to protect the tax paying consumer do so? Then,Don Bauder, they will "prove it in court" - try that one on for size. So Don Bauder, I think that is how you start to "prove it in court" like the insider alluded. The Best to You.— July 21, 2010 11:14 p.m.
Kerry Steigerwalt of Pacific Law Center says he was the “fall guy”
"In his deposition, Steigerwalt said Pacific Law Center lawyers “were schleps,” according to the Llamas suit. Also, Steigerwalt admitted that he knew of the pressure tactics used by the intake coordinators. But he didn’t change things significantly, say the Llamas and Slattery suits. Indeed, Steigerwalt, said in the Slattery suit to make $900,000 yearly, was constantly checking to see if the firm was bringing in the daily gross receipts it needed to keep its head above water." So Steigerwalt is saying that all his attorneys were "schleps"? I thought he said he brought good lawyers in to solve the old problems 2 years ago or so. What kind of a guy, constantly checks the receipts to make sure he got his $900,000 and call his guys "schleps"? Above water? He could care less, sounds like.— July 21, 2010 7 p.m.
