An interesting Web Site has been put up and references this site. It is www.tyrannyofthebar.org The gentleman from California is a practicing attorney who helped his sister prepare a case wherein she was representing herself in a case in Wyoming. The ever vigilant Gifford is now proceeding to charge him with practicing law in Wyoming without a license. This is tantamount to me saying to my Mom regarding a traffic ticket I think you should plead not guilty. It would be giving legal advice by Mr. Gifford’s standard. The interesting question Mr. Poul posed is Mr. Gifford trying to justify his $150,000 salary by running up the number.
And here is another one from Mr. Gifford’s book. Moriarty, his personal friend is disbarred in Arizona but not what is sought in Wyoming. And yet I know of cases in Wyoming where a lawyer was censured and Gifford went out of his way to initiate a call to Bar Counsel in another state to seek to influence punishment there of the individual who held a license there as well as Wyoming.
This guy is not fit for his job and whoever appointed him ought to be ashamed.

Mr.Tieg is responsible for some oversight of what Mark Gifford does but when you look at some of the stuff put before the board you have to ask if he is really paying attention or just rubber stamping it. It should be noted that Mr. Gifford is responding to complaints filed but apparently with little judgment. The issue is that this encourages people including attorneys to file complaints for trivial personal reasons.

It seems to me Mr. Gifford is doing what he supposed to do in responding to bar
complaints.

I know of complaints filed against Gifford's friends which go no where. Moriarty is just one more example of that. Yet trivial cases like the tyranny of the bar gentleman gets prosecuted. Rubber stamping may occur with Mr. Tieg as "oversight," but there is certainly no oversight of Gifford's refusing to charge his buddies.
