Manitoba Lawyer Murray Trachtenberg!
Good Day Folks:
Found the following posted by The Public Eye (vicpopuli1@gmail.com) on Truth To Power.
By way of brief background, according to court documents Mr. Schade (Calgary) retained Manitoba Metis Federation Lawyer Murray Trachtenberg to assist with the sale of his parents' Winnipeg home.
It's a complicated case involving other family members, another lawyer, as well as, Counsel for the Public Trustee. In a January 8, 2008 Affidavit filed by Donald Schade he states in part:
I am on a long term Canada Disability Pension (CPP) under the qualifying terms of "prolonged and severe." I suffer from cognitive problems, especially stressful situation like court appearances, which exacerbate my symptoms.
At some point it would appear Mr. Schade became disgruntled with the service being provided by Counselor Trachtenberg and wished to terminate him which, in turn, lead to yet another controversy. It's a complicated file with accusations flying back and forth - a real mess!
As is his custom, The Public Eye has left us with a metaphorical image. Anyone know its significance?
Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk

MURRAY,
I CAN NOT FIND THE DOCUMENTS PERTAINING TO YOUR WANTING TO GET OFF THE RECORD FOR MY MOTHER'S ESTATE.
I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 10, 2007.
HOWEVER, AS I SEE NO OTHER RECOURSE AND TO SAVE COSTS TO THE ESTATE AND OR ME, YOU CAN TAKE THIS EMAIL AS MY NOTICE FOR YOU TO WITHDRAW.
I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS, AS YOU INDUCED ME TO PAY THE FILING FEES, AND THEN AFTER TOLD ME THAT THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF WORK AND COSTS, WHICH WERE UNANTICIPATED BY ME.
YOU ALSO INDICATED, THAT BECAUSE THE OTHER LAWYERS OBJECTED, THAT YOU HAD TO WITHDRAW. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IS THE REAL REASON.
THE AGREEMENT AS TO HOW YOU WERE TO BE PAID WAS THE SAME AS THE FIRST AGREEMENT.
THANK YOU.
DON SCHADE, EXECUTOR

This is an illustration of the character of "Count Olaf" from the book series LEMON SNICKET'S SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS (later made into an excellent film, featuring Jim Carrey as the Count).
Anyone familiar with the series will instantly recognize my reasoning in using this picture, especially as it pertains to Murray's role as a lawyer who wished to withdraw from Mr. Schade's letter. Because of Mr. Trachtenberg's well-deserved and -honed expertise in prosecuting defamation claims, I think it wise not to venture any further comments in this direction.
