Seemingly Unfair Judicial Treatment in Washington State
I am in an active Law Suit over a property I bought several years ago. The Seller claims he never signed the Warranty Deed (in front of a notary, no less.) His interrogatories contradict his complaint. (in my favor.) Anyway, he has FREE representation through Seattle University Catholic Law School. They have the head of the Law clinic and THREE Interns working on his side. I of course have to pay for my attorney and the amount is substantial.
They have missed four different deadlines for paperwork only to ask the judge for an extension for each filing. All were granted. He missed his deposition. No sanction. I had a timing conflict with a filing date and timely requested the date be moved. Motion denied.
The opposing party is a minority (from Panama, but has lived here for 35 years)
The judge sits on several committees for "minority groups".
Is it appropriate and/or “legal” for me to bring this to the attention of The Seattle Times if they will pick it up or to the head of Seattle Catholic University? Could it be construed as "tampering" or somesuch other thing? I can’t believe it is their intention that the “heavy hand” of the Law School be used in this manner. A cursory review of the documents and interrogatories reveals the silliness of the law suit.
