This court appointed attorney was aware an individual never declined right to appear or wave due process. The Probate Court has been alerted of individuals concern for not being provided the opportunity to appear at his 04/15/2022 hearing. The person has yet to receive paperwork of hearing results in efforts to file an appeal if desired as well. The Ohio Bar Association grievance will be mailed today. Three attempts to contact this attorney have been ignored. One attempt while waiting in the parking lot for the patient to arrive and later find no Sheriff called or picked him up. He was never added to the pick up list. The patient continues to call ask, “When are they coming to get me? You still there?” This patient was abused and has scratches and bruises from an assault he suffered on 04/14-2022. The representative at the probate court alerted this attorney as I was on the phone and heard her tell him. She stated to the attorney she said to the attorney “she was abused and has scratches” and this attorney cares less. She stated on the phone, “He said he received your message and will call back you back!” He did not and has not. A subsequent message was left and he still has not called back to date. A call and email has been sent to Probate Court with the outrageous acts of this attorney and all parties participating in violating patient rights. It is easy to do as individuals with mental illness most likely have no advocate but my loved one does and wrongdoers get outed and offered to their authoritative bodies for intervention. This is unethical and illegal. The patient is of sound mind and not in psychosis and is coherent to speak on his own behalf. He anticipated appearing before the judge and was denied. No entry should be placed on his name(which was misspelled) on the docket as due process was not allotted. This is occurring to many individual’s in the mental health population and no lt one person is stepping in to stop it. Well this is my son in this instant and it will not be tolerated!
