She agreed to have my hearing at the school district's law firm offices "because there was air conditioning". She frequently met with the opposing attorney and hearing officer privately during the hearing, and made decisions without consulting me. In addition, she repeatedly threatened to not represent me whenever I questioned her decision making. Moreover, she put up absolutely no fight when the district ( with their case falling apart and witnesses non-existent) made motions to postpone the hearing for monyhs. My advice - if Laura Haller is appointed as your legal council in a 3020a hearing by NYSUT , you're not in good hands. I know your writing pertains to NYC cases - but anyone reading this should be aware of NYSUT incompetence upstate as well.your NYSUT lawyer probably stinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09048287282001966316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178330661968922056.post-83310470986006293222014-04-21T17:06:44.599-04:002014-04-21T17:06:44.599-04:00Awaiting your write up on Lana Flame.

So many have been wrongfully accused with their careers ruined by a body and arbitration process that is acting as if they are a true legal body, and a union that is at best, complacent in their role in guiding and defending professionals in a disciplinary process. SCI has their own corrupt elements, which has wrongfully destroyed innocent people. Not everyone has the resources to hire their own attorney. I believe the only way to remedy this cancer is a class action lawsuit where all those who have been subjected to this extermination program can receive restitution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
