IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
vs.
Defendants.
COMPLAINT IN EQUITY
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, Patrick J. Loughren, pro se, and files the following
I. INTRODUCTION
This is an action to enjoin non-lawyers from engaging in the unauthorized practice of law,
which conduct, in Pennsylvania, is a crime. The Defendants in this action, with the exception of
Goldbeck, McCafferty & McKeever, P.C., are all non-lawyers. These non-lawyers prepare
foreclosure complaints, sign lawyers' names to those complaints, and file those complaints in
county courts across this Commonwealth without an attorney ever having read the document.
The instant such lawsuits are filed, the unauthorized practice of law has been committed. Thus,
upon the filing of the document, a crime has been committed. After they file the foreclosure
complaints in the manner described above, the non-lawyers prosecute the actions, and in doing so
they prepare, sign and file affidavits purporting to be signed by lawyers, but which are in fact
signed by non-lawyers. These documents serve the ultimate purpose of the non-lawyers, which is
to maximize recovery of "attorney fees" through foreclosure and sale of the property. In the
lawsuits they file, these non-lawyers claim "attorney's fees". As a result of the lawsuits, the non-
lawyers recover "attorney fees" from Mortgagors directly, in the event the loan is reinstated, or
3
from the proceeds of the sale of the mortgaged property in the event that the foreclosure results in
sale of the property. The non-lawyers are assisted by Notary Publics, also defendants herein, who
notarize documents at the request of the non-lawyers, some of which documents falsely purport to
bear the signatures of lawyers, but which in fact are merely non-lawyers forging lawyers'
signatures. Thus, the Notary Defendants aid and abet the non-lawyers in committing the
unauthorized practice of law by providing them with false documents necessary to achieve
foreclosure. Plaintiff seeks to enjoin this unauthorized practice of law, protect his profession and
the integrity of the judicial process, disgorge the defendants of all illegal fees recovered and
restore the monies to the Mortgagors from whom the monies were taken.

CounseL
39. The illegal practice of a profession is a proper subject of equitable jurisdiction. See
Childs v. Smeltzer, 315 Pa. 9, 171 A. 883 (1934), Boggs v. Werner, 372 Pa. 312,317,94 A. 2d 50,
51-52 (1953) (dentistry); Palmer v. O'Hara, 359 Pa. 213, 58 A. 2d 574 (1948) (medicine); Neill v.
Gimbel Bros., Inc., 330 Pa. 213, 199 A. 178 (1938) (optometry); Matter of Arthur, 15 B.R. 541
40. Pennsylvania law provides that, "In addition to criminal prosecution, unauthorized
practice of law may be enjoined in any county court of common pleas having personal jurisdiction
over the defendant. The party obtaining such an injunction may be awarded costs and expenses
incurred, including reasonable attorney fees, against the enjoined party." See 42 Pa.C.S. 2524 (c).
41. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has stated, "The fact that the unauthorized
practice of law is a criminal offense does not, however, deprive a court of equity of jurisdiction to
8
enjoin ongoing unauthorized practice. It is well settled that the criminal remedy is inadequate to
protect the public from continuing unauthorized practice and that an injunction may properly
issue." Dauphin County Bar Asso. v. Mazzacaro, 465 Pa. 545, 551, fn 4 (Pa. 1976) citing Shortz
v. Farrell, 327 Pa. 81, 193 A. 20 (1937); Childs v. Smeltzer, 315 Pa. 9, 171 A. 883 (1934);

1972); Dobbs, Remedies 117 (1973); Note, Remedies Available to Combat the Unauthorized
Practice ofLaw, 62 Col.L.Rev. 501, 504 (1962); cf. Everett v. Harron, 380 Pa. 123, 110 A.2d 383
42. An injunction has been regarded as a proper remedy to prevent the illegal practice
oflaw as well as other professions. See 16 P.L.E., COURTS § 392 citing Ginsburg v. Kovrak, 392
Pa. 143, 139 A.2d 889 (1958)(law), Shortz v. Farrell, 327 Pa. 81, 193 A. 20 (1937)(law), Dauphin
County Bar Asso. v. Mazzacaro, 465 Pa. 545, 351 A.2d 229 (1976)(law) and Childs v. Smeltzer,
315 Pa. 9,171 A. 883 (1934)(law); Boggs v. Werner, 372 Pa. 312,94 A.2d 50 (1953)(dentistry);

IV. STANDING
44. Loughren has standing to invoke this Court's equity jurisdiction to enjoin the
member of the profession unlawfully so invaded. Palmer v. O'Hara, 359 Pa. 213, 227, 58 A.2d
574,581 (Pa.1948)
45. As one court has stated, "It must be borne in mind that it has always been held that
a professional man has standing to prevent the improper invasion of his profession...... [T]he
9
right to practice a profession is for many equitable purposes a property right; that such injunctive
action is in the nature of a suit to restrain improper and unlawful competition; that each
professional man bears a responsibility to the public for the proper practice of his profession and
that suit to enjoin improper professional practice is a proper effort to enjoin a public nuisance."

1958)
v. FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
1O(c} of the Pennsylvania Constitution to govern the conduct of attorneys practicing law within
the Commonwealth.
47. Pursuant to its constitutional authority, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court adopted
the Rules of Professional Conduct and the Rules of Disciplinary Enforcement, which govern the
conduct and discipline of attorneys. Commonwealth v. Stern, 549 Pa. 505, 701 A.2d 568,571
(pa.1997).
48. The Non-Lawyer defendants herein are non-lawyers. They are not subject to the
49. The Non-Lawyers are not" ... bound by a reviewable code of professional ethics
designed to deter [them] from the temptations of self-interest which can frequently arise in the
course oflegal representation." Dauphin County Bar Asso. v. Mazzacaro, 465 Pa. 545 , 555, FN6
10
50. On infonnation and belief, the Non-Lawyer Defendants have filed hundreds, if not
Pennsylvania that have been written, signed and filed by these Defendants without any attorney
51. The Defendants make it appear as if a lawyer has read, reviewed, and signed the
document by either typing lawyers' names on the documents, signing lawyers' names to the
documents, or both, but the fact of the matter is that no lawyers have read, reviewed, or signed the
documents.
52. The deposition of GMM was taken on September 21, 20 lOin the case of Kimberly
A. Robinson v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., et al. No. 08-cv-01563 currently pending in the
53. As the Court is aware, a witness designated to testify pursuant to Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 30(b)(6) speaks on behalf of the corporate entity and the testimony of the designee
54. The witness designated by GMM to testify on its behalf on September 21, 2010
was Gary McCafferty, Esquire. Mr. McCafferty is both a named partner and shareholder of
GMM.
55. Mr. McCafferty admitted that the Non-Lawyer Defendants file prepare, sign and
11
56. Joseph Goldbeck, Esquire is "of counsel" to GMM and is a fonner shareholder and
fonner actively practicing attorney at GMM. Mr. Goldbeck was also deposed on September 21,
20 lOin the matter of Robinson v. Countrywide, supra. During his deposition, Mr. Goldbeck
testified that non-lawyers were authorized to not only write up foreclosure lawsuits, but to sign his
name to the lawsuits and file those lawsuits without him ever even seeing the document:
57. The third-named partner in GMM, Michael T. McKeever, Esquire, has testified that
the non-lawyers at GMM are engaged in the widespread unauthorized practice of law. While
Loans, Inc. (In Re: Hill), 2010 Bankr. LEXIS 3313 (Bankr. WD Pa. 2010), Mr. McKeever
admitted that it was "standard practice" in 2007 for non-lawyers to write up foreclosure lawsuits,
sign lawyer's names to said lawsuits, and file said lawsuits prior to any lawyer reviewing the
lawsuit:
12
Q. Okay. Do you know who did?
A. I don't, no.
Q. And this was standard practice at your firm in 2007, correct?
A. Yes, it was.
58. Mr. McKeever further admitted that the practice continued at GMM through the
59. Before they file the lawsuits that they both prepare and sign attorneys' names to,
the Non-Lawyer Defendants perform no investigation into the facts and/or circumstances giving
60. On information and belief, some of the foreclosure lawsuits that the Non-Lawyer
Defendants file are filed against Mortgagors who have FHA-Insured loans pursuant to the Federal
Housing Administration (FHA) established under Subchapter II of the National Housing Act, 12
61. The Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development has
to the foreclosure action. See Fleet Real Estate Funding Corp. v. Smith, 366 Pa. Super. 116; 530
A.2d 919 (pa. Super. 1987)("'Today we follow the lead of these decisions and hold that a
13
mortgagor of an FHA-insured mortgage may raise as an equitable defense to foreclosure, the
mortgagee's deviation from compliance with the forbearance provisions of the HUD Handbook
and regulations.")
63. In fact, FHA-Insured loans typically contain provision within them that specifically
limit the Mortgagees' right to accelerate the debt and/or foreclosure prior to compliance with FHA
64. Mr. McCafferty (on behalf of the firm) testified that the Non-Lawyer Defendants
make no independent undertaking to determine whether the FHA regulations have been complied
with before they (i.e. the non-lawyers) file the lawsuits that they (i.e. the non-lawyers) have
written up, signed and filed without a lawyer having reviewed the document:
Q. Does the firm have a practice when it gets a new case to sue
somebody for foreclosure in the situation of an FHA loan, that the
firm will undertake affirmatively to determine whether or not the
FHA regulations were complied with that are prerequisites to filing
the foreclosure case?
A. There's no independent undertaking.
Q. What does that mean?
A. It means that the firm does not go back and examine whether the
client has complied with whatever regulations.
Q. The FHA regulations?
A. Correct.
14
65. In fact, during its deposition taken on September 21, 2010, Mr. McCafferty
testified that the non-lawyers who are filing these lawsuits have no training with regard to FHA
regulations:
66. On information and belief, the non-lawyers working at the firm knowingly filed
lawsuits against Mortgagors - that had not been reviewed by any attorney and they did so
despite knowing that the Mortgagors had absolute defenses to the lawsuits premised upon the
67. The lawsuits were filed despite the fact that they were meritless because the Non-
Lawyers knew that the Mortgagors were either too unsophisticated to appreciate the defenses
available to them, to economically destitute to hire a lawyer to raise the defenses on their behalf,
or both.
6S. The preparation and filing of a pleading constitutes the practice of law in this
Commonwealth.
69. The federal courts applying Pennsylvania law have held that the filing of petitions
in bankruptcy by non-lawyers constitutes the unauthorized practice of law. See In Re: Poconos
Land, LLC, 343 B.R. lOS, 112 (MD Pa. 2005)(" ... this Court concludes that the filing of the
petitions at issue by non-attorneys on behalf of an artificial business entity constitutes the practice
15
70. In Pennsylvania, the unauthorized practice of law is a crime and is regulated by
71. In Pennsylvania, an "attorney at law" is a person "admitted to the bar of the courts
72. To practice law a person must demonstrate a reasonable mastery of legal skills and
principles, be a person of high moral character and maintain a continuing allegiance to a strict
73. The requirements that must be met to engage in the practice law exist so that the
public is protected. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court in Shortz et al. v. Farrell, 327 Pa. 81, 193
"While in order to acquire the education necessary to gain admission to the bar and
thereby become eligible to practice law, one is obliged to 'scorn delights, and live
laborious days,' the object of the legislation forbidding practice to laymen is not to
secure to lawyers a monopoly, however deserved, but, by preventing the intrusion
of inexpert and unlearned persons in the practice oflaw, to assure to the public
adequate protection in the pursuit of justice, than which society knows no loftier
aim.".
74. The non-lawyers working at GMM whose conduct is described hereinabove are
16
75. When each and every complaint in foreclosure has been filed that has been written
by a non-lawyer, had a lawyer's name signed to it by a non-lawyer, and been filed by a non-lawyer
without any attorney having read the document, the crime of the unauthorized practice of law has
been committed.
76. GMM has authorized the conduct of the non-lawyer defendants, and has profited
from it as described hereinafter. GMM is vicariously liable for the conduct of its non-lawyer
77. The non-lawyers are being paid by their "clients", through payments made to
GMM, to engage in habitual drafting and filing of legal instruments that are filed in courts across
the Commonwealth without any lawyer having read same. This constitutes the practice of law.
Northampton County Bar Ass'n. v. Young,1 Monroe L.R. 94, 26 North 363 (1939) See also Matter
ofBradford ARTHUR 15 RR. 541; 1981 Bankr. LEXIS 2522 (B.R. ED Pa. 1981)
78. It is axiomatic that a corporation may appear and be represented in our Courts only
by an attorney duly admitted to practice. Walacavage v. Excell, 331 Pa. Super. 137; 480 A.2d 281
(Pa. Super. 1984) Smaha v. Landy, 162 Pa. Commw. 136, 638 A.2d 392 (Pa. Cmwlth.), petition
for allowance of appeal denied, 539 Pa. 660, 651 A.2d 546 (1994); Fire Prot. Indus. v. Scimeca
Found., Inc., 2006 Phila. Ct. Com. PI. LEXIS 495 (Phila Cty 2006)
79. The hundreds or thousands of cases that have been prepared by, signed by, and
filed by the Non-Lawyer Defendants without attorney review are all lawsuits that have been
filed illegally in violation of the statute prohibiting the unauthorized practice of law. The alleged
"appearance" by the lawyers whose names appear on the documents is a fraud on the Court, as the
lawyers have admitted, under oath, that they have never reviewed the documents written and :filed
by these non-lawyers. Thus, the non-lawyers who put the lawyers' names on the documents are
17
committing both a crime when they file the documents, and a fraud on the Court when they
represent to the Court, via attorney signature, that an attorney has reviewed the document. (This
latter point is more fully explained below in connection with Pa.R.C.P. 1021(c»
contemplated the facts of the lawsuit, the claims being asserted, or the merit of the lawsuit.
81. Plaintiff avers, on information and belief, that the "clients" of the non-lawyers
consisting of banks, loan servicers, REMIC trusts, and other creditors are all aware that the non-
lawyers are engaged in the unauthorized practice of law. The individuals employed at these
entities (i.e. at the "clients") all interact with the Non-Lawyer Defendants on a day-to-day basis
via email and/or phone and they are aware that the Non-Lawyers are responsible for preparing,
signing and filing these foreclosure cases and that the cases are being filed without any attorney
review.
82. The "clients" of the Non-Lawyer Defendants pay for the services of the Non-
Lawyers and, on information and belief, receive some or all of the illegal fees that the Non-
83. On information and belief, numerous foreclosure actions that have been filed by the
non-lawyers at GMM are currently pending. All of these actions must be dismissed. A complaint

County has stated, "Proceedings commenced by persons unauthorized to practice law are a nullity,

Sheporwich, 1952 Pa. Dist. & Cnty. Dec. LEXIS 311; 83 Pa. D. & C. 484 (1952)
85. Federal Courts construing Pennsylvania law are in accord with Judge McCarthy's
holding. See Marin v. Leslie, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 80287 (WD Pa. 2008) affirmed in part and
modified in part by Marin v. Leslie, 2009 U.S. App. LEXIS 15138 (3d Cir. Pa., July 8,
2009)("When a non-lawyer has commenced a proceeding on behalf of a legal entity, the court fails
to obtain jurisdiction over the lawsuit.") See also, Eveready Battery Co. v. Clements Export &
Import, 1991 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 14197; 20 Fed. R. Servo 3d (ED Pa. 1991)("Since the defendant
corporation's Answer and Counterclaim was executed by the sole corporate shareholder and not by
86. Every foreclosure action pending in every Court of Common Pleas in this
Commonwealth that has been prepared by and filed by the Non-Lawyer Defendants, without
attorney review, should be dismissed on the basis that the Court lacks jurisdiction over the lawsuit.
87. According to the testimony of GMM, Mr. Goldbeck and Mr. McKeever set forth
hereinabove - the Non-Lawyer Defendants engaged in this practice from at least 2006 through at
88. However, on information and belief, and for reasons that will be made clear
hereinafter, Plaintiff avers that the Non-Lawyers continued their criminal conduct even after
December 8, 2009. Moreover, on information and belief, the practice of the Non-Lawyer
Defendants filing lawsuits for third parties without any lawyer having read the lawsuit pre-dated
2006.
19
VII. Violation ofPa.R.C.P.1023.l(c)
89 Each and every time that a Non-lawyer Defendant signs an attorney's name to a
foreclosure complaint - knowing that no lawyer has read or reviewed the complaint and that
document is subsequently filed with the Court, in addition to being the final act in the commission
of a crime, the conduct also violates Pennsylvania Rule of Court 1023 .1 (c).
(1) it is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass
or to cause unnecessary delay or needless increase in the cost of
litigation,
(2) the claims, defenses, and other legal contentions therein are
warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for the
extension, modification or reversal of existing law or the
establishment of new law,
(4) the denials of factual allegations are warranted on the evidence or, if
specifically so identified, are reasonably based on a lack of
information or belief.
91. When the Non-Lawyers sign lawyer's names to complaints and file those
documents with the Courts knowing that the documents have not been read or reviewed by the
lawyers, the certification appearing on the document (Le. the signature) is fraudulent and the Non-
Lawyers are knowingly committing a fraud on the Court for at least three reasons.
92. First, the certification that a lawyer had read the lawsuit is blatantly false.
20
93. Second, the certification that the lawyer whose named has been signed to the
document has performed a reasonable inquiry into the merit of the case is blatantly false since no
94. Third, certification that the "claims" set forth in the Foreclosure Complaint are
meritorious and nonfrivolous is blatantly false. Each of these complaints sets forth claims for
"attorney fees". Since no attorney has prepared, signed or done any work filing the lawsuits, no
attorney's fees are due. Moreover, and more fundamentally, since the Complaint itself is a nullity,
the claim for attorney's fees is frivolous, false and fraudulent and can never exist even if a lawyer
does read it sometime thereafter and actually work on the file. A nullity is a nullity and the
95. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1023.3 permits the Court to sua sponte issue
a Rule to Show Cause upon Defendant GMM and the Non-Lawyer Defendants requiring them to
show cause why they are not culpable of the widespread, systematic violation of Rule 1023.1(c).
96. Because the Non-Lawyer Defendants engage in their criminal conduct under the
auspice of the letterhead of the law firm GMM, and because they often use electronic signatures to
further their criminal purposes, they have hidden the true nature of their conduct from both the
public, the mortgagors they have sued, and from the Honorable Judges of the Courts of Common
Pleas. Plaintiff brings this action to not only advise the Courts of the widespread conduct, but to
enjoin it as well.
97. The most egregious course of conduct - aside from the commission of the
unauthorized practice of law as part of taking someone's home - is that the non-lawyers who file
21
these cases without attorney review include claims for attorneys' fees as part of the relief
requested. These claims for attorney's fees are false, fraudulent, frivolous and unfounded.
98. Plaintiff is a trial lawyer who firmly believes that all persons - including creditors
such as Banks who have issued mortgage loans have the right to enforce their rights, including
the contractual right to foreclose where permitted by both the law and the facts. Plaintiff in no
way believes or seeks to enjoin creditors from legally pursuing their rights. However, the Non-
Lawyers and the "clients" they serve are blatantly violating the law, and they are taking from
99. The Non-Lawyer Defendants are claiming substantial sums of money from
Mortgagors - in the form of alleged attorneys fees - that are not due and owing by the
Mortgagors. Thus, all Mortgagors who have paid "attorney fees" have been wronged, and the
Non-Lawyers and their Bank "clients" have converted the Mortgagors' property.
100. The Non-Lawyers and their clients are not desirous of Mortgagors reinstating their
loans, even though such reinstatements do result in payment of illegal "attorneys fees".
101. The Non-Lawyers and their "clients" prefer foreclosure. This is because at
foreclosure, they can illegally claim higher amounts of illegal attorney fees which are paid from
the sale of the mortgaged property or, on information and belief, by various government programs
and/or insurers.
102. In order to achieve foreclosure, however, the Non-Lawyers must commit other
criminal and fraudulent conduct. The non-lawyers file Writs of Execution and other documents
(including affidavits of last known address) upon which they forge lawyers' signatures, often
before a notaries public working at the firm, such as Defendant Hand and Defendant Black, both
of whom knowingly violate their duties as a Notaries Public, (as set forth in great detail below).
22
103. The property is then sold and "attorney's fees" are recovered by Defendants, even
though no attorney has worked on the matter andlor even though the "attorney fees" recovered
bear no relationship, let alone a reasonable relationship, to any work that was done by an attorney.
104. Importantly, the right to claim any attorney's fees arises out ofthe documents upon
which the lawsuits are filed, to wit, the Note and/or the Mortgage.
105. There is no question that neither the Note, nor the Mortgage, nor the law authorize
or permit MortgageeslNoteholders to collect "attorneys fees" where no lawyer has done any work
106. In other cases where non-lawyers have sued Mortgagors, the Mortgagors are able to
scrape up the money to pay the demands being made upon them by non-lawyers. These monies
include alleged "attorney fees" even though no lawyer has done anything to prepare or file the
107. All of the monies recovered by the Non-Lawyers and their "clients" as a result of
the foreclosure actions filed by these Non-Lawyers should be accounted for, and returned to the
108. While the admissions of the law firm GMM, Goldbeck and McKeever during
deposition testimony set forth hereinabove clearly establish the basis of this action, Plaintiff
independently confirmed that documentary evidence exists that corroborates the testimony. This
documentation is discussed below, and some of it (but certainly not all of it) is attached hereto by
way of exemplar.
109. In connection with collecting "attorney's fees" as a reward for committing the
unauthorized practice of law, and in order to obtain those fees by effectuating the sale of the
23
foreclosed upon home, the non-lawyers routinely forge lawyers names on documents other than
complaints, including affidavits that purport to be signed in the presence of a Notary Public. The
non-lawyers working at GMM know such documents are fraudulent but they use them
oflaw.

128. The reason that no lawyers are signing the documents utilized in foreclosing on
homes across Pennsylvania is because no lawyers are, in fact, involved in filing these lawsuits, no
lawyers are involved in defaulting the Mortgagors, and no lawyers are involved in reducing the
defaults to judgment and sale at foreclosure. Rather, the lawsuits are being filed and prosecuted to

145. On February 4,2010, Defendant Boschetti signed her own name to a "Verification

attached as Exhibit 23. The document is sworn to and subscribed before a notary public, to wit,
Defendant Hand. The opening paragraph of the document states, "MICHAEL T. MCKEEVER,
hereby verifies that he is attorney for the Plaintiff in the above-captioned matter, and that on
information and belief, he has knowledge of the following facts, to wit ... "
McKeever, swearing that she knew what information was inside Mr. McKeever's mind, which is
so patently absurd it bears no further comment, except to note that apparently Notary Hand had no
147. On June 17, 2010, Defendant Keenan (who is a secretary) filed an affidavit
claiming to be Mr. McKeever in Boyle. This document is attached hereto as Exhibit 24.
38
148. Plaintiff has reviewed numerous documents filed of record wherein Defendant
Keenan signed affidavits purporting to swear to the knowledge that was inside Mr. McKeever's
head. One such affidavit was an Affidavit Pursuant to Rule 3129 filed June 24, 2010 in
Citimortgage Inc. vs Turner Jr., Allegheny County, MG-1O-000405, which is attached hereto as
Exhibit 25, and which document was notarized by Defendant Black. The document bears the date
June 15,2010 but the notary stamp indicates that it was signed June 21, 2010.
149. In a Supplemental Affidavit filed August 27,2010 in Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company vs Lemp et ai, Allegheny County, MG-10-000406, Defendant Keenan (a legal secretary)
again signed an affidavit, attached hereto as Exhibit 26, purporting to know what is inside Mr.
Defendant Black did not even sign the document, revealing either that Defendant Black is careless
with her notary seal, or she has given it to others who are so anxious to take people's homes while
engaged in the unauthorized practice oflaw that they cannot even "properly" forge a document.
150. In an affidavit attached hereto as Exhibit 27 and filed September 17, 2010, BAC
Home Loans Servicing L.P. vs HUe, Allegheny County, MG-I0-001409 Defendant Keenan again
executed an affidavit before a notary that purports to attest to the knowledge inside Mr.
McKeever's head.
Defendants Hand and Black (the Notary Public Defendants) notarized hundreds, if not thousands
of documents in violation of the Notary Public Law, Act of August 21, 1953, P.L. 1323, as
152. The documents that have been notarized by Defendants Hand and Black, such as
the documents set forth hereinabove, have been used by the Non-Lawyer Defendants to foreclose
39
on homes and to collect illegal so-called "attorneys fees" that are being charged by non-lawyers
153. Defendants Hand and Black have knowingly aided and abetted the non-lawyers to
engage in the unauthorized practice of law; they have violated their duties as Notaries; they have
stained and undermined the truth finding process and the integrity of the Judicial System. Their
154. Defendants Hand and Black should be enjoined from aiding and abetting in the
155. The widespread criminal conduct described herein is not the result of excusable
neglect or inadvertence. Rather, it is the result of greed on the part of the Non-Lawyers and the
"clients" they serve while hiding under the letterhead of the law firm Goldbeck, McCafferty &
McKeever. Since Non-Lawyers can never have "clients" as that term is used by Courts and those
who have earned the right and obtained the honor of being admitted to the practice oflaw, Plaintiff
puts the word "clients" in quotations when referring to the "clients" of the Non-Lawyers.
156. The prohibition against the unauthorized practice of law set forth in 42 Pa.C.S.
2524(a) specifically contemplates that paralegals and legal assistants hiding under the letterhead of
a law firm may attempt to engage in the unauthorized practice of law, and the law specifically
40
attorney at law or a corporation complying with 15 Pa.C.S. Ch. 29 (relating
to professional corporation), commits a misdemeanor of the third degree
upon a first violation. A second or subsequent violation of this subsection
constitutes a misdemeanor of the first degree. (Emphasis added.)
McKeever instructed these Non-Lawyer Defendants to prepare and fIle false affidavits, or to claim
and/or recover "attorney fees" in cases where no lawyers had done any work whatsoever.
158. Where a non-lawyer has engaged in the unauthorized practice of law and has
obtained a judgment on behalf of his or her "client", any such judgment should be vacated. The
Court had no jurisdiction over the lawsuit, the judgment is the result of the commission of a crime,
and neither the non-lawyer nor the "client" of the non-lawyer should profit from such conduct.
159. The Prothonotary in all such cases was without authority to enter judgment against
the defendants. The judgments are, therefore, void ab initio. See Mullen v. Slupe, 360 Pa. 485,
490, 62 A.2d 14, 16 (1948) Gudgment "entered without authority ... is no judgment at all so far as
it affects the rights of the defendants. ") (quoting Long v. Lemoyne Borough, 222 Pa. 311, 318 71
160. With respect to pending foreclosure actions fIled by non-lawyers at GMM engaging
in the unauthorized practice of law, such lawsuits should be immediately dismissed, as the Court
has no jurisdiction over them. The lack of jurisdiction cannot be cured by having attorneys come
in and claim that they will now respect the rule of law. These Complaints were a nullity when the
were fIled.
41
161. Anything less than dismissal of cases filed in violation of the prohibition against
the unauthorized practice of law by non-lawyers encourages such conduct to be repeated. (See
Chase v. City of Earle, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 48230 (ED Ark. 2010)("When a non-lawyer
attempts to represent the interests of other persons, the practice constitutes the unauthorized
practice oflaw and results in a nullity. Jones ex rel. Jones v. Correctional Medical Services, 401
F.3d 950, 952 (8th Cir. 2005). Moreover, a later appointed attorney cannot cure the complaint of
its original defect. Davenport v. Lee, 348 Ark. 148, 155, 72 S.W.3d 85, 88 (2002). This rule
protects the courts interests in ensuring that parties are represented by people knowledgeable and
162. Plaintiff avers, on information and belief, that the clients. of GMM knew of,
directed, and profited from the conduct of the non-lawyers described herein. As such, the
"clients" of these Non-Lawyers who are profiteering from the unauthorized practice of law by the
163. For example, and without conceding in any manner that their knowledge did not
exist prior to December of 2009, there is no question that Bank of America (which, on information
and belief purchased Countrywide Home Loan, Inc. in July 2008) and BAC Home Loan
Servicing, LP (formerly Countrywide Home Loan Servicing, LP) became aware of the conduct
described hereinabove in December 2009. These entities are only two ofthe entities who the Non-
164. On information and belief, on December 8, 2009, John Smith, Esquire, who was at
the time a current employee of Bank of America and who in 2007 was First Vice President of
Foreclosure, Bankruptcy and Real Estate for Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., was sitting in the
courtroom when Mr. McKeever testified (as set forth hereinabove) that it was "standard practice"
42
for the Defendant Non-Lawyers to engage in the unauthorized practice of law. As an attorney,
Mr. Smith knew of and understood the significance of Mr. McKeever's testimony, to wit, that
non-lawyers working at GMM were and had been filing lawsuits that had not been reviewed by
attorneys and they had been doing it for several years. On information and belief, Mr. Smith also
knew that such conduct was criminal, such lawsuits were nullities, and all such lawsuits should be
dismissed.
165. The next day, December 9, 2009, during court proceedings presided over by
Federal Judge Thomas Agresti in the case of in DeAngelis v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. (In
Re: Hill), 2010 Bankr. LEXIS 3313 (Bankr. WD Pa. 2010), Judge Agresti stated on the record:
THE COURT: But I'm a little concerned about what I'm hearing about the
Goldberg firm's handling of cases, filing by paralegals without being, you know,
foreclosure actions being filed without attorneys reading them or reviewing
them before it's filed, filed under signatures that are -- somebody's authorized to
sign a signature -- a name. It's a matter we're going to take up. I don't know if it's
relevant to our proceeding today, but I'm quite concerned with what I'm
hearing.
166. Despite the fact that Bank of America and its lawyers knew, with certainty, in
December of 2009 that hundreds, if not thousands of foreclosures cases pending had been filed by
the non-lawyers in violation of the prohibition against the unauthorized practice of law, they did
not dismiss any of the pending cases filed by the Non-Lawyers for the reason that said cases were
a nullity and, instead, they continued to permit the Non-Lawyers to prosecute those cases to
conclusion - an act of pure greed and disrespect for the Rule of Law.
167. On October 5, 2010, Judge Agresti issued an opinion in In Re: Hill wherein he
stated:
During the trial the Court also became aware of some apparently routine practices
at GMM that raise issues that cannot be ignored. McKeever testified to a
procedure at his firm whereby foreclosure complaints are prepared and filed by
non-attorneys and never reviewed by an attorney, even though the "signature" of
43
an attorney appears on the document. 12/8 Tr. at 83-84. This would seem to be a
violation of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, which provide that the
signature of an attorney on a document filed with a Pennsylvania court is a
certification that the document has been read by the attorney. See Pa.R. Civ.P.
1023.1 (c). Even though these foreclosure actions are not being filed in this Court
and thus do not expose GMM to sanctions, concern for our sister courts in this
Commonwealth compel the Court to at least make publicly known what it learned
during the trial.
168. Plaintiff is unaware as to whether or not Judge Agresti's efforts have had or will
have any effect on the Non-Lawyer Defendants and their "clients" and, therefore, Plaintiff seeks
an injunction to preserve the integrity of the judicial system and the rule of law in this
Commonwealth, as well as to protect the thousands of Mortgagors who have unknowingly been
sued by Non-Lawyers engaged in the unauthorized practice oflaw and who have paid and/or face
the clear and present danger of paying illegal and fraudulent "attorneys fees" to these Non-
169. On information and belief, there are hundreds, if not thousands of mortgage
Pennsylvania that have been filed by the non-lawyers at GMM in violation of 42 Pa.C.S. §2524(a)
and which are being prosecuted toward judgment by these same individuals. These actions must
Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court grant the following relief:
44
2. An injunction barring the non-lawyers at Goldbeck, McCafferty &
McKeever, P.C. from engaging in the unauthorized practice oflaw within
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania;
4. Issuing a Rule to Show Cause Upon GMM to show cause why all pending
foreclosure actions in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in which GMM
has entered an appearance should not be dismissed as having been filed in
violation of 42 Pa.C.S. §2524(a) by the non-lawyers at GMM;
5. Issuing a Rule to Show Cause Why all alleged "attorneys fees" that have
been recovered by the Non-Lawyers or their "clients" in foreclosure
lawsuits filed in violation of 42 Pa.C.S. §2524(a) in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania should not be accounted for and returned to the
MortgagorslHomeowners from whom they were taken;
6. Issuing a Rule to Show Cause Upon Defendants to show cause why every
judgment entered in favor of Defendants "clients" in a foreclosure action
filed and prosecuted in violation of 42 Pa.C.S. §2524(a) should not be
opened and/or vacated;
8. Enjoining Barbara L. Hand and Antoinette Black from aiding and abetting
in the commission ofthe unauthorized practice oflaw in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by notarizing documents in violation of the
Notary Public Law which documents are being utilized by non-lawyers at
GMM to prosecute foreclosure actions in violation of 42 Pa.C.S. §2524(a)
9. Enjoining Eric Keenan from signing his name to any legal document to be
filed in any court in this Commonwealth.
10. Enjoining all Non-Lawyer Defendants from signing their names, or the
names of anyone else, upon any document to be filed in any lawsuit
pending in this Commonwealth except in a lawsuit wherein the non-lawyers
are parties, such as this lawsuit.

8. If the Mortgage is reinstated prior to a Sheriff's Sale, the Attorney's Fees set forth above may be less
than the amount demanded based on work actually performed. The Attorney's Fees requested are in
. conformity with the Mortgage and Pennsylvania law. Plaintiffis entitled to collect Attorney's fees of up
to 5% of the remaining principal balance in the event the Property is sold to a third party purchaser at
Sheriff's Sale or if the complexity of the action requires additional fees in excess of the amount
demanded in the Action.
9. Plaintiff is not seeking a judgment ofpersonal1iability (or an "in personam" judgment) against the
Defendants in this Action but reserves its right bring a separate Action to establish that right, if such
right exists. If Defendants have received a discharge of their personal liability in a Bankruptcy
proceeding, this Action of Mortgage Foreclousre is, in no way, an attempt to re-establish the personal
liabiHty that was discharged in Bankruptcy, but only to foreclose the Mortgage and sell the Property
pursuant to Pennsylvania law.

Housing Act and, as such, is not subject to the provisions of Pennsylvania Act No. 91 of 1983.

interest at the rate of $8.10, per day and other expenses incurred by the Plaintiff which are properly chargeable
