Larry Sinclair’s site is still soliciting for contributions to be paid to Mr. Sibley either via PayPal or via check. The site said that Sibley recently visited Sinclair in jail in DC as his attorney although he is suspended. Is that legal? (Sinclair was arrested after his press conference on 18 june and is awaiting extradition to Delaware for what has been reported as a 2007 charge related to insurance fraud.)

Here is a quote from Larry Sinclair’s blog http://larrysinclair0926.wordpress.com/ :
“Contributions To Larry’s Atty ********

I’m not well informed about the law here but the guy sure is not acting like he’s suspended. Though if I were Sinclair I would dump this guy after coming to the press conference in a kilt and bragging about the size of his genitals. Not that sinclair would have had much credibility anyway with the ridiculous anticlimax to his promise that he would be producing corroboration of his wild claims, and his refusal to answer questions about specifics. But Sibley didn’t help matters. The two shysters deserve each other.

Obama’s peopleare good at talking about people’s divorces
Obama joined a field of seven candidates vying to fill an open Senate seat being vacated by retiring two-term incumbent Peter Fitzgerald. For months, he polled in the middle of the pack behind frontrunner and former securities trader Blair Hull, who spent $30 million of his own fortune on the primary.
But Hull’s campaign imploded just weeks before the election when his divorce files were unsealed, revealing an ex-wife’s charges of verbal and physical abuse.
Obama unleashed a barrage of television ads just before the election, when the other candidates had largely depleted their war chests. He won the nomination with 53 percent of the vote.
In the general election, Obama squared off against another multimillionaire: Jack Ryan, who later dropped out of the race after a judge ordered his divorce files unsealed. The documents revealed that Ryan’s ex-wife, actress Jeri Ryan, a former Miss Illinois best known for her role as Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager, accused him of trying to coerce her to perform sex acts in public

Many here seem to forget it’s not just about his suspension is not just about child support. Damn good lawyer? Gotta disagree on that one.

We’ve had a lot of Montgomery Blair Sibley coverage over the years:

His meritless suit against the DC Circuit (followed by a self-defeating appeal to the Supreme Court, where there was no quorum because he had sued seven of the justices)

his follies in the Palfrey case and in an earlier 2006 Florida prostitution case;

and his vexatious pro se work in family court.

This short blurb fails to notate that Mr. Sibley’s alleged vexacious litigation, is primarily the product of his personal divorce situation. Having not personally gone through such an ordeal, I can only imagine what both he, his wife, and his children went through. The law is what he knows, so he used it, perhaps improperly; this is no different than the actress who is using YouTube to go after her estranged husband: using what you know.

Having looked at other disciplinary actions, I find that a 3yr suspension for Sibley for his child support and angst at the Florida judiciary is heavy handed, when another lawyer in another state received 6 months suspension, stayed, on probation for trust account violations, etc.

The old addage– walk a mile in his shoes!

You sound a bit jealous of Montgomery Sibley. Personal divorce problems aside…I think you’d agree, he’s a damn good lawyer.
