Tough Foreclosure Court: Attorney Handcuffed, Jailed

No comment...

from the DBR:

Boca Raton lawyer was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence. The state attorney's office dropped the charges Jan. 7, noting the sentence imposed by Harrison.

A transcript from the hearing shows tense exchanges between the Golants and Harrison, with the lawyers accusing the judge of denying a motion "as a sanction" against the firm in GMAC Mortgage v. Philip Joseph Maszak et al.

The hearing erupted when Harrison set a trial date for a case the Golants insisted was not ready for trial. The lawyers claim the judge violated state law by pushing ahead on a rocket docket even though pleadings were still outstanding. Harrison dismissed their protests as "appellate law" and asked to "clear the front of the courtroom."

"You are refusing to hear us, and you're not even letting us make a record for appeal," Golant said.

"Step back," the judge said. "Step back, or you will be held in contempt of court."
