Robert Correale Carried Almost 'god-like' Influence Around The State Courts Of New Jersey

JACK CUNNINGHAM VS. NEW JERSEY STATE CORRUPTION

Vietnam Veteran John "Jack" Cunningham Proudly And Honorably Fought Terrorists As He With About 8 other U.S. Marines Served/Lived (24/7) In A Vietnamese Peasant-Farming Village Of 2,000 Homes During The War. It was his experiences these last 16 years trying to get his Due Process as a plaintiff against some corrupt, powerful New Jersey government lawyers that were disgraceful, heartless and criminal. Story below.

Robert Correale Carried Almost 'god-like' Influence Around The State Courts Of New Jersey

Government Fraud, Federal RICO (I.e. racketeering crimes) are involved in this below case due to the fact that a number of New Jersey state officials and even politicians have acted together to obstruct justice and deny John "Jack" Cunningham his constitutional rights.

Robert Correale was a general-practice attorney for the Maynard & Truland Law Firm of Morristown, New Jersey. While practicing law at Maynard & Truland, Correale was also serving as an assistant district attorney in a number of different New Jersey towns and counties. According to the Maynard & Truland webpage dedicated to him, besides wearing all of these impressive and influential hats, he is listed as the local Vice-Chairman of the New Jersey Supreme Court Office of Attorney Ethics District X committee. This position allowed him almost god-like influence around the state as well as his fellow attorneys of Maynard & Truland. Attorneys and even judges' careers could end from his, and his committee's judgments and decisions. Correale understood the influence he had around New Jersey, and his law firms' partners Joe Truland and James Maynard were ready to use it to their advantage, and for one of their own client's disadvantage.

Correale and his fellow Maynard & Truland lawyers were able to use his considerable powers to block Superior Court Legal Malpractice charges and official NJ Supreme Court Attorney Ethics charges against them, but this was minor compared to the New Jersey's Supreme Court which allowed this unethical behavior and even protected them in the process.

However, the thorn in their side was never going to disappear. They picked the wrong client to abuse Correale's influence on. At first, they thought the client was an easy target, because he was a Vietnam veteran with PTSD. They never would have believed that after tag-teaming the PTSD veteran with law firm lawyers, and throwing every possible legal obstacle at him, the former Marine would be bringing them to federal court 17 years later along with the whole New Jersey Supreme Court Office of Attorney Ethics for fraudulently and malfeasancely protecting them from justice.

Thankfully, there is no Statute of limitations in federal court when it comes to state government fraud. And based on all the clear evidence that Jack Cunningham has on the New Jersey Supreme Court Office of Attorney Ethics and New Jersey governors' office, they have been committing fraud, malfeasance, obstruction of Justice, denial of a citizen's due rights based on deception as well as harassment of a PTSD veteran's disability and disability discrimination.

Some of Jack Cunningham's clear evidence of New Jersey courts and NJ government fraud:

Correale and his law firm Maynard & Truland took Jack Cunningham to Superior Court for an open bill but Jack counter sued against Correale and his law firm for Legal Malpractice. Correale represented his law firm. Jack was forced to handle his case as PRO SE (on his own), because no New Jersey lawyer wanted to go up against Correale, because of his obvious influence as the Vice-Chairman of New Jersey Supreme Court Office of Attorney Ethics District X committee. Win or lose, it could be a career-ending event for an ordinary attorney. Because Jack was both representing himself and effectively disabled with PTSD due to trauma in Vietnam, he asked the court for "Reasonable Court Acommodations for his disability". After reviewing Jack's detailed evidence, Honorable Superior Court Judge Ronald Graves threw out Robert Correale's open bill charges and, against Correale's obections, Judge Graves added that Jack's charges of Legal Malpractice and his evidence warranted the law division for damages.

However, strangely enough, two months later when Jack tried to get a copy of Judge Ronald Graves court transcript where the judge said Cunningham's Legal Malpractice charges were valid, that portion of the transcript audio was missing. Jack's Law Division Superior Court civil case was then thrown out for lack of merit. Neither could he use Judge Graves court transcript in formal attorney ethics violation charges. This helped pave the way for Correale and Maynard & Truland to perjure themselves in sworn NJ Supreme Court certifications.

In these same sworn, Supreme Court Attorney Ethics Certifications, Robert Correale disgracefully and openly mocked Jack Cunningham's PTSD disability without question.

When Jack Cunningham first started bringing formal Attorney Ethics Violation charges against Robert Correale and his law firm, the New Jersey Supreme Court Office of Attorney Ethics refused to answer the PTSD veteran's letters. Jack sent out another round of letters to them, this time Cc:ing the NJ governor, the NJ Attorney General and key officers of the state legislature. Finally, the Supreme Court Office answered them and assigned the investigation of Correale and Maynard & Truland to the same committee that Robert Correale was listed to be the Vice-Chairman of District X. In words anyone could understand, the complaint about Correale and his firm was to be investigated by Correale which is a clear violation of attorney ethics as it pertains to conflict of interest. This assignment was done by the second highest official in this important NJ Supreme Court office but it all just led to another round of battles for Jack Cunningham to get them to recognize their major Conflict of Interest. The battles continued until Correale and his fellow Maynard and Truland lawyers were all cleared of all charges but not before perjuring themselves in Supreme Court Certifications.

Jack Cunningham's current goal is to get federal criminal charges brought against everyone involved in the New Jersey State Government cover-up.

Part 2

HOW IT ALL STARTED: The Cover-up is worse than the crime

After nearly 25 years of marriage and five children, Vietnam veteran John "Jack" Cunningham was served with divorce papers. The veteran, considered 100% permanently disabled by federal Veterans Affairs (VA) due to PTSD, was worried that his disability would be used against him in custody rights for his two minor children, which was a common practice for various reasons in divorce cases against PTSD vets. The Marine hired the law firm Maynard & Truland. At the first two meetings Jack drove home in a near-panic-like fear of losing his children's custody due to his disability. However, law firm partner attorney Joe Truland and the firm's divorce attorney Edward Buschico repeatedly highlighted that they were professionals and would do their jobs.

During the next few weeks, the client called a number of times to both the law firm's partner Joe Truland and divorce attorney for an update on the firm's response to the court and his wife and her attorney. Although he was promised by the office manager that he would get returned calls from the attorneys, he never did. Twenty-two days later, the PTSD veteran was notified by Superior Court - Family Division that he was now in Divorce-Default for his lack of response to the initial divorce papers. Based on now being in divorce-default for his lack of response to family court, the family court judge could make her ruling for loss of all custody rights. Jack's PTSD worsened dramatically as his greatest fear of losing his two children could now be made by a simple decision of the judge.

The veteran's weekly PTSD therapy sessions (well-documented) with a Veterans Affairs (VA) doctor were filled with talk of his fear of the loss of his children and triggering intense memories from the war, living 24/7 in an isolated peasant-farming village defending against Viet Cong terrorist fighters. Meanwhile, Jack made repeated attempts to get the firm's partner Joe Truland and divorce attorney Edward Buschio on the phone, but he still didn't receive the promised returned calls. Between the lack of communication from the law firm that he hired and getting notices about the default from the court, he thought the worst and it was triggering his most painful memories.

Out of desperation and total frustration, Jack wrote a heated letter to Joe Truland and Edward Buschio in the hope that they would start acting professional and communicate with him, the family court and his wife's attorney. Even after writing the letter, he still did not get any return communications from his own law firm. However, He continued to receive notifications that he was still in divorce default for lack of his activity to the court and his wife's attorney. More phone calls to the law firm were never returned.

Jack continued to attend his VA therapy sessions where the impact of the divorce and his frustrations with his law firm was well-documented in his official Veterans Affairs medical progress records. It was even recorded that he should have his medicine adjusted so that he could cope better and that he might have to be VA hospitalized for the exacerbation of his PTSD.

Sixty-nine days into the contract Jack Cunningham signed with the law firm, he finally received a very brief letter from a Maynard and Truland attorney Robert Correale; a name he did not recognize. Robert Correale's letter briefly stated that he was starting on the work on his divorce removal; was an Invoice listing that the client was being charged for this divorce-removal at an extra $25 inflated hourly rate. He was being charged for their gross neglience at an inflated rate by a law firm attorney that he knew nothing about. What happened to the law firm's partner and their divorce attorney Edward Buschio?

With no answers to his prior questions and a growing number of new questions to ask, the client wrote another letter to Joe Truland and addressed it to Robert Correale a lawyer Jack had not known before. Once again, there wasn't a response to this letter or his continued phone calls. Whoever Robert Correale was, he was apparently just as bad in communicating back as the previous divorce attorney Ed Buschio was. Even worse, Jack received another notification from family court stating that he was still in default because there hadn't been a response from him.

Jack felt like he was losing his mind out of frustration, but he also felt strongly that he had to fight back against this gang of incompetent lawyers. There was custody of his two young children was at stake. Jack wrote a third letter to the Maynard & Truland lawyers. Again, when he received no response for his third letter, he wrote to the local New Jersey Supreme Court Office of Attorney Ethics District X committee and attached supporting evidence. In his letter he highlighted the divorce-default Maynard & Truland, LLC. placed him in and the extra stress they were causing him. When Jack received yet another notification from Family Court that he was still in divorce default and there was to be a final court hearing on it, he wrote to the Family Court judge explaining his facts and presenting his evidence.

A few days before the final divorce default court hearing, the local District X committee of New Jersey' Supreme Court Office of Attorney Ethics wrote back and said that they could not help him; however, they simply recommended that Jack obtain another law firm without any other suggestions. It would be Two years later when Jack learned that Robert Correale was the Vice-Chairman of this same NJ Supreme Court Attorney Ethics District X committee. Again, this District X recommendation to get a new lawyer was just days before the final default hearing that Maynard & Truland, LLC. caused. Living off only his monthly disability payments from the federal government, there was no additional money to retain another lawyer even if it was a good idea and changing law firms just days before the default hearing was insane even to this "crackpot" veteran. He knew that he had to attend the hearing himself, plead for some type of reasonable court accommodations for his PTSD disability, and expose the lack of professionalism of the firm he had hired.

The day of the default hearing, with no responses back from his letter to the Family Court judge or any communications from Maynard & Truland's attorneys, Jack went to Superior Court to represent himself and hoped for some type of understanding or mercy. After notifying the court that he was there for the default hearing, he sat in the second row of the small 2 row courtroom and waited for his turn to be heard. In the back of his mind, he was hoping that the law firm divorce attorney Edward Buschio would attend, but he wasn't counting on it. The divorce attorney fell off the face of the earth as far as he knew. He had neither seen nor heard from Buschio since the day he signed signed the contract and paid the retainer. That same day, Buschio nastily stated that he know how to do his job. Extremely anxious, Jack didn't have the slightest idea what to expect during the default hearing, but at least he had made it there.

When the court case was announced, Jack was about to move up to the defendant chair when a lawyer introduced himself to the court as Maynard & Truland attorney Robert Correale and he was representing John Cunningham in the Case management appearance. Jack was completely dumbfounded, who was attorney Robert Correale and what happened to the divorce default? What happened to the divorce attorney Edward Buschio and why were the attorneys switched, and when? He had received no written or verbal communications from the firm that his representation was officially switched and wondered if the law firm was allowed to switch attorneys like that without notifying him or asking for permission.

At the end of the case management hearing, Jack tried to get some answers from Correale, but was brushed off by him claiming that he had no time to talk. (Two years later, Jack would receive some misleading, vague and even perjurious statements from Robert Correale about many of his questions when Correale was forced to swear in New Jersey Supreme Court Certifications. It was also in Robert Correale's Certification that Jack would learn how Correale described this day's first meeting between the two of them. Jack was even mocked for his PTSD in Correale's New Jersey Supreme Court Certification.)

Although Jack never received any sort of response from the Family Court judge about the letter that he sent the week before, he was sure it had some impact in releasing him from the divorce-default that the lack of action from his own law firm put him in. He was actually feeling somewhat optimistic for the first time since hiring Maynard & Truland to represent him. However, Jack would soon learn just how corrupt the firm and Robert Correale was.

There were a number of future situations, but this was really highlighted during the most important, final court arbitration. Flamingly-narcissistic Robert Correale came to court totally unprepared. For over two hours in a small court house room, he sat silent next to Jack as Jack spoke to his ex-wife and her attorney. The misrepresentation given by Robert Correale was so poor that Jack's own ex-wife later wrote to the courts stating about Correale's woeful, unprofessional behavior saying that Jack was, for all intents and purposes, representing himself. In the end for that day, Correale charged Jack hundred's of dollars for his own representation at Correale $25 inflated rate per hour over the contract.

Please press the above link to sign the petition to Chris Christie, where an honorable, combat veteran is asking him to call for an investigation on this. Currently, we are nearing 25,000 signers.

On December 21, 2000, I first wrote a letter to the New Jersey Supreme Court's Office of Attorney Ethics complaining about the Maynard & Truland law firm in Morristown, New Jersey and their attorney Robert Correale.   Maynard & Truland was a law firm that I retained to represent me in a Superior court case. We were four months into the contract, so I did not want to change the law firm; I just wanted Maynard & Truland and their attorney Robert Correale to act professionally. My complaints in the letter were Maynard & Truland's complete lack of professionalism, which included their gross negligence, their (Correale) overcharging me, their (Correale) false billing, their (Correale) inability to have me removed from a court default that they caused themselves and their (Correale) complete lack of communications. I no longer wanted to feel like I was fighting Maynard & Truland and their attorney Robert Correale, more than the real opposing parties.

I opened my letter to NJ Supreme Court's Office of Attorney Ethics explaining that I was a veteran from the Vietnam War and that I was disabled with PTSD, due to heavy combat from living and serving (24/7) in a Vietnamese peasant village. I added that I suffered from chronic pain resulting from a terrorist bomb blast that I received in the village. I highlighted how Maynard & Truland's lack of professionalism was greatly exacerbating my PTSD and chronic pain.   At the time, I was not looking for anything other than Maynard & Truland to represent me in a professional manner, yet understand I suffered from veterans disabilities. With the letter, I included a federal Veterans Affairs (VA) diagnose statement as well as VA medical progress reports, which clearly stated the impact Maynard & Truland ethics violations were having on my disabilities. I also supplied letters that I sent Maynard & Truland's attorneys begging them to act professionally. I supplied all this personal information in the hope the State of New Jersey would provide me with some reasonable disability accommodations and insure that the law firm acted professionally.
Six days later, the Secretary of District X Ethics Committee, Bonnie C. Frost wrote a return letter that stated, due to New Jersey Court rules, their office could not do anything to help me. She added I was free to get advice from another attorney.

Whether it was warranted or not, the Office of Attorney Ethics - District X's lack of support just added to the anxiety and even opened the door for Maynard & Truland to continue ongoing ethics violations. Their over-charging, false billing, negligence, lack of communications continued. At one point a Maynard & Truland attorney arrived unprepared at Superior Court for an arbitration, and I was forced to represent myself as their attorney sat quietly to my left.   I ended up getting charged over $600 for the attorney just sitting there. (Even this, he charged at the inflated rate.)

A little over two years later, when I refused to pay their open bill, Maynard & Truland attorneys brought me to Superior court for $1,700. I counter sued on the same docket for Legal Malpractice against the firm. During a break in the court proceedings, I learned that the Maynard & Truland attorney Robert Correale was the local Vice Chairman of New Jersey's Supreme Court Office of Attorney Ethics. He was himself responsible for bringing official ethics violations to New Jersey's Supreme Court for himself and his law firm, Maynard & Truland. This was the same Attorney Ethics Committee that I asked to support me two years before. (Major Conflict of Interest)

The detailed evidence, I supplied the Superior Court Judge Ronald Graves on the Open Bill/Legal Malpractice case that day was enough for the judge to decide against Vice-Chairman of Attorney Ethics Robert Correale and his law firm. Their open bill charges were dropped and the judge determined that my charges of legal malpractice warranted (merited) the Superior Court Law Division for damages.

When I brought the Legal Malpractice case to Superior Court Law Division, Judge Ronald Graves court transcript was missing and could not be typed. It actually disappeared. My Superior Court Law Division Legal Malpractice case against the Maynard & Truland law firm and Vice-Chairman of the New Jersey Supreme Court Office of Attorney Ethics Robert Correale was then thrown out of Superior Court for lack of merit. How convenient was this...

Vice-Chairman of Attorney Ethics Robert Correale and his fellow Maynard & Truland attorneys were later cleared by the Office of Attorney Ethics, when they swore to written Certifications to the New Jersey Supreme Court, which were filled with perjurious, misleading and vague statements.

This Superior Court transcript went missing in 2003. The State of New Jersey is still looking for it. Although, I have written numerous letters to the federal Department of Justice requesting they assist me in getting my Civil Rights and Due Process from the State of New Jersey, the Department of Justice insists this is a New Jersey issue and they refuse to help.   My years of certified letters to New Jersey governors, attorney generals, NJ federal senators, NJ court systems go unanswered.

In 2010, the Cover-Up still goes on...   Former Vice-Chairman Robert Correale, his former attorneys at Maynard & Truland and those politicians and state government officials, who protected them for almost ten years, stay above state and federals laws.

Currently, my State Senator Steven Oroho has been investigating this and has been since November 2008. I'm also trying to get my federal Congressman Scott Garrett involved in getting me my Due Rights and charging the State of New Jersey with denying me my civil rights for almost ten years and the violating the Americans with Disabilities Act for not giving me reasonable disability accommodations in the New Jersey Supreme and Supreme Court systems.
This still remains the biggest topic of my Veterans Affairs (VA) therapy sessions and the exacerbation of my PTSD and chronic pain continues.   But the one thing I know, I won't give up trying to get justice from the federal and state government.
I never want to see this happen again to another PTSD vet or regular citizen.

Jack Cunningham and his wife, Joan

On March 11, 2008, my wife and I went to the F.B.I. office in Newark, New Jersey.

To be honest, I felt I was stonewalled by the two agents, who I spoke with from Public Corruption Squad 8.   The lead agent refused to review my evidence, unless I had original documents with me.   He told me I could have typed the documents myself.   Three of the documents were New Jersey Supreme Court Attorney Ethics Certifications, along with Maynard & Truland's Contract and Invoices). When I asked the federal agent, if it was a crime for me to make up false evidence and lie to F.B.I. agents, he didn’t answer me.



The discussion went down hill from there. However, I did get the two agents to review part of my evidence, including the part that they thought I may have typed myself   (The New Jersey Supreme Court Attorney Ethics Certifications, along with Maynard & Truland's Contract and Invoices).

      When I asked the lead F.B.I. agent, if my Civil Rights to Due Process were being violated, he said no.   I also asked, if the State of New Jersey should have given me "Reasonable Disability Accommodations" for my PTSD.   He just repeated that no federal laws were broken.

      Since the agents refused to review the New Jersey Supreme Court Attorney Ethics Certifications, along with Maynard & Truland's Contract and Invoices, because they were not the originals, I actually had to play make-believe.

      They looked through part of the Certifications of James Maynard & Robert Correale and compared it to the Maynard & Truland's Contract.   The F.B.I. agent admitted that all three contradicted each other when it came to the law firm's billing and Retainer paragraphs.   Without farther information, the agent said the Maynard & Truland contract was wrong.

      After the agent examined Robert Correale's certification pertaining to the day he first started work on my case and compared it to his law firm's invoice's start-work date, the agent brought up again that I may have typed the documents myself.

      What knocked me almost out of my chair was when the agent told me that Superior Court transcripts can get lost before they can be typed.    Just because Judge Ronald Graves' transcript went missing does not mean it is part of a Cover-Up.     Details at:   http://www.americans-working-together.com/id111.html



      In the end, I was told that my corruption charges against the State of New Jersey were for civil court in the State of New Jersey. Since no federal crimes were being broken by New Jersey State officials and politicians, I had to deal with the State of New Jersey. When I informed the agents that the New Jersey Governor’s office and his Attorney General’s office do not even answer my certified letters, I was again informed that they are not breaking any federal laws.

The below letter was sent to U.S. Senator Robert Menendez and a number of other U.S. senators and congressmen/congresswomen in September 2006. Senator John McCain was the only response I received. His letter stated that I must deal with my New Jersey federal senators.   Senator Robert Menendez and his staff have never answered this letter and have never placed anything in writing. ( Senator Robert Menendez phone:  202-224-4744 ) New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine continues to not answer my numerous letters to him.

    The federal Department of Justice, including the F.B.I., insist that I must deal with the State of New Jersey. The saga continues.

In Vietnam, Webmaster Jack Cunningham served (24/7) in a Vietnamese peasant-farming village.   At times, there were only four (4) Americans in a village of 2,000 homes.

Jack is holding his M-79 grenade launcher.   The weapon was nicknamed "The Blooper" because of the sound the weapon made, when it released a round.

Your "Due Process" under the law was violated. Perjury is also an issue which should not be over-looked.

Try communicating with the US Attorney and/or FBI.

---------

Having been a pretty good "street cop" for 35 years this December, I read carefully what you sent me.

If I was involved with this case and having the documentation that you and the courts have, I believe that I would approach a mid-ranking Officer in the police service in your area and inquire about "perjury" investigations.

--------------------------

After spending 28 years in law enforcement, I've never seen such screw ups in my life.   Sounds like these lawyers had something going with friends in high New Jersey government places.

Theft of your constitutional rights and due process under the law, by deception.

Please contact Senator Robert Menendez (Information below) and demand that John "Jack" Cunningham get his Due Process from the federal government and the State of New Jersey.

UPDATE: FBI Agrees To Look Into My Corruption Charges Against The State of New Jersey http://www.americans-working-together.com/id519.html

PLEASE PASS THIS REQUEST AROUND TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO USE THE INTERNET.

The below letter was sent to U.S. Senator Robert Menendez in May 2006, but he made no attempt to get the questions in the letter answered. He did his part in adding to this Cover-Up. This letter is just one of many different letters that were addressed to the listed politicians and New Jersey State Goverment officers. These questions were never addressed in verbal or written form by these parties.

Although this letter and a great deal of other evidence have been sent by certified mail to New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine and His appointed NJ Attorney General, both these government offices refuse to reply or respond to my phone calls.

Being the local Vice-Chairman of New Jersey's Supreme Court's Office of Attorney Ethics, Robert D. Correale, Esq. was able to do what he and his Law Firm of Maynard & Truland wanted. With all their friends and influence around the State of New Jersey, they were clearly above the law. At least, they were for the last 5 to 6 years.
