It will take a political movement to force the state bar associations to address this issue.

Just filed by Russ Baldwin to the Oregon Supreme Court. The excerpts by the court are priceless. Here the court flat out catches the bank lawyers lying to the court and providing false declarations, yet signs off anyway. Up the chain it goes, and the Appellate court does the same. The court states that if attorneys cannot be trusted, the whole system falls apart, yet proceeds to let the system “fall apart.”*The question is obvious – if the foreclosures were in anyway legitimate in terms of who was attempting to foreclose, there would be no need to resort to perjury and fraud upon the court.*“The circuit court opined:*
THE COURT: So here’s — you know, frankly, here’s my concern. I
can’t tell you how many foreclosure defaults I sign a month. And all I’ve got
in a default situation is reliance on the integrity of the lawyer that’s
submitting it, right? Because there’s no way I can go behind and figure out.
If people put an affidavit in there that says they — no one said they were
going to appear and we did the publication and it’s all — I sign it, right?
And the end result is if you do that wrong, like let’s say there was no
lawyer in this case, the end result would have been that this house would
have been foreclosed on and who knows how long it would have been before
the issue came up, if at all. Because different defendants have different
abilities to even identify the issue, right?
MR. BONFIGLIO: Correct.

THE COURT: What — what happened? Why, after defense counsel
called I guess it was your office and spoke with somebody and said I’m
going to appear, why, in a million years, would somebody then file for a
default judgment after knowing they didn’t serve properly? I mean, all you
have to do is look and you know, ooh, this publication is wrong. Not — it’s
nothing to take much to look at it. You just see that it’s not even in Lane
County and you know. And then make these false declarations.
