First Attorney: My ex husband who goes by the name Jonah Stevens filed for divorce from me as Lee Stevens holding himself, as attorney to be a different separate person.
How many Ky judges know about this fraud upon the court and have never santioned him- Judge Larry Thompson, Judge Julie Paxton, Judge John David Preston, Judge Janie Wells, and the last judge assigned the case-Judge Lewis Nichols.
You see because my ex husband is an attorney- the rules don't apply to him.
Second Attorney: So after my ex husbands little fraud his law partner James Hamilton then stepped in.
Third Attorney: His third attorney was a woman. Her name escapes right now. But after I check the records I will put her name up here. At this time James Hamilton was still listed as Jonah Stevens attorney.
Fourth Attorney: The female attorney quickly recused. James Hamilton still remained listed an Jonah Stevens attorney but never ever showed up to court on anything for Stevens. Then Kim Thompson signed on. Now what you need to know is that Kim Thompson supposedly has a solo law practice. However, her solo law practice is run out of Jonah Stevens and James Hamilton's physical law office. She is really Jonah's defacto law partner. After Kim signed on; James Hamilton officially withdrew from the case.
Fifth Attorney: Wesley Duke was the next attorney. Now while this guy was the attorney both Kim Thompson and Jonah Stevens kept filing papers in the case. However, Jonah would fake sign his own attorneys signature. Duke couldn't handle solo law practice and went to work for an another attorney. Apparently that didn't work out either because Duke shortly left there for the public defenders office.
Sixth Attorney: Stevens next victim, ummm I mean attorney was Brian Cumbo. Stevens lied to Cumbo and told Cumbo that I violated a court order. Cumbo, instead of properly filing a motion made a oral motion stating that I violated a court order with checking the case file to see if I actually had done so.
I filed motions against Cumbo for 1)not being familiar with the case file (its an ethic rule that attorneys must be diligent and prepared) 2) Falsely stating that I violated a court order, and 3) not properly filing a written motion in which I would have been able to explain myself.
So what did Brian Cumbo do? He filed a motion along with a supposed "transcript" of the hearing. However, this transcript was not sworn to nor was it created by a Kentucky court reporter. Instead, it was apparently created by Cumbo or his secretary. Now let me tell you. I have raised these issues by motions in the courts. Judge Lewis Nichols won't place my motions on his docket to be heard.
Seventh Attorney: Unknown, but given Stevens history and actions its only a matter of time since he gets a new one. Whoever they are they need to ask for a very large retainer. Having attorney Jonah Stevens as a client is begging to be in some type of ethical difficulty.
