Chula Vista's former police head David Bejarano accused of check fraud by partner
Interesting, but I was also wondering surfpuppy about your first comment ================== OK, I was over the top on the "dirty cop" comment, but I wanted to convey that I think the ethics of many of the people we are paying big bucks to in LE and gov are pretty bad. They are not very ethical or moral IMO-dirty might be too strong, might not be. I made the comment about the cops milking the system over and over based on the following; 1) Bejarano is collecting a huge pension from the SDPD, and he has also worked in other LE agencies where he may also be getting a pension, and receiving that pension the entire time working as the CV Police Chief-that to me is milking the system big time. 2) Bejarano, if this story is to be taken at face value (and I am not saying it should be b/c it is just one side of the story), is also running a private company in direct violation of the muni policies, while collecting at least one huge pension and also getting paid big bucks as CV Police Chief. That is wrong. I'm sorry, but this situation right here is why this state and every muni in it is so screwed up-b/c these people, and thousands more to a lessor degree, are milking the system for billions of dollars. They would never in a million years come close to banking 1/5th of what they are milking the gov/taxpayers for in government if they were in the real world-b/c the real world does not work that way. I think everyone should be outraged at this type of conduct, and don't know why more aren't.— July 4, 2010 8:30 p.m.

Steigerwalt's daughter was involved in a fatal traffic crash on I-5 in 1994. Three or four Carlsbad High girl students were in a single car that rolled and hit a tree near Palomar Airport Road. One girl in the car died. By Visduh ============== That is awful-and a heavy burden to carry for all.— July 2, 2010 8:19 a.m.

Like Jacoby & Meyers, Sam Spital and Pacific Law Center, mass advertising campaigns and leagues of inexperienced law graduates to build a law practice is a recipe for disaster. ============= Jacoby and Meyers is still in business, but not using the same business model they used to be. And Pat Frega put Sam Spital out of business, and then Frega himself was later disbarred but continued to work as a "paralegal" with Bill Lerach at Millberg Weiss. Some might have called Frega's work at Millberg as practicing law w/o a license.— July 1, 2010 3:01 p.m.

Kerry Steigerwalt is a class act - the business he was attempting to salvage turned out to be beyond saving - a poor business choice, yes, but his legal acumen cannot be disputed. ========== #1-I have no idea if Kerry is a class act or not, don't know him-but I do know PLC was accused of some very bad misconduct. #2-I also know that while the number of lawsutis filed against anyone does not mean they are guilty of all charges-it DOES indicate that a number of people are not happy. One of those bird rock bandit perps used PLC and got taken for over $100K, and THAT is a well know fact, widely reported. Other well known facts are that PLC was using unlicensed lawyers, on their cases, widely reported. While making a "poor business choice" is not criminal, fraud is.— July 1, 2010 2:57 p.m.

Steigerwalt as a defense attorney had quite a record. Starting about 15 years ago, he was the defense counsel for a series of high-profile criminal cases. I cannot remember a single one that he won. ========== I always wondered the same thing-the guy lost all his cases but kept getting those high profile cases.— June 30, 2010 6:16 p.m.
