Valentine has known Barry for probably 13 years, She has testified before the
Legislature and was instrumental in getting the Legislature to enact laws to protect
mothers and children. She can provide statistics as to the number of mothers and
children who have no attorneys to represent them, and that the family courts are in
crisis, often turning children over to their abusers which Barry tries to remedy.
Center for Judicial Excellence, in persuading Assembly members to order the state
auditor to audit the Commission on Judicial Performance to learn why there are

few judges being disciplined; that within days of the Assembly ordering the audit
of the CJP, Judge Mills, Contra Costa Superior Court, found Sweeney in contempt
and sentenced him to 25 days in jail which he actually served; that he filed
complaints with the Bar against Opposing Attorneys and his ex wife who is an
attorney for, inter alia, presenting forged and false documents in Court, and the
Bar refused to discipline the attorneys. This goes to the issue of fundamental lack
concocted evidence designed to protect corrupt and unethical white male attorney
Michael Keck. When Martin, who is black, filed a complaint against bar judge
Lucy Armendariz with the CJP, he received two uninvited phone calls in both of
which he was called a nigger. Martin traced the calls to a private communication
service to the Bar. When Martin sued the Bar based on being called the N
word, Bar Attorney Danielle Lee filed an anti-SLAPP motion claiming that as long
as the racial epithet was uttered during an official proceeding, the government
could call him the epithet and be protected by the First Amendment. She

demanded attorney fees because Martin sued the bar for being called a nigger. Lee
also claimed in a demurrer Martins claim based on the racial epithets should be
omitted].
10. Susan Bassi: Bassi is engaged in family law litigation in Santa Clara
Superior Court. Bassi filed Bar complaint against Attorney Nathan Hales, jr. who
before he proceeded to serve as referee in her family law case. The Bar
acknowledged Hales failed to provide these written disclosures but only had him
enter into an agreement in lieu of discipline and take the Ethics School
Course. Despite this serious breach, Hales was given permission by the Court to
set his own fees and take those fees from Bassis accounts. He ended up awarding
himself $100,000 from Bassis account. The Bar refused to make Hales pay
restitution to Bassi. This goes to the issue of fundamental lack of fairness inherent
in the Bar structure based on protection of bar Insiders and hounding, harassment,
and unfair discipline of Bar outsiders, disparate treatment of attorneys in the Bar,
