Why Target Olympia Family Attorney Paul Battan?

Yes, people gripe about lawyers.

Yes, many parents, even the "winners", have some level of distain for the Thurston County Family Court system.

This is an excerpt from a letter I just received:

"(The father) has continued broadcasting material on the Internet....attacking me as her lawyer. Until this risk is reduced, I do not believe that....the family court or criminal court will be comfortable giving (the father) access to (his son)" 

----Family Attorney Paul Battan (The above is edited only to protect the names of my son, and ex-wife)

First, and very worthy to note, is the fact that posting to a blog can elicit a visceral response from a "Super Lawyer" (No kidding, Google it).

Maybe local journalism, such as blogs, can indeed change a community for the better, albeit slowly. Nonetheless, at some point individual attorneys must be held accountable for their actions inside the courtroom. When further abuse of a child happens because an attorney decides that he must win a case, throwing a child's best interests in the garbage, then this is most certainly a time of attorney accountability.

I understand that most of you do not know my case, and I wouldn't expect many to want to get emotionally bogged down in a legal and emotional mess. 

Having said that, just ask yourself under what context would an honest attorney, a moral attorney, ask that his reputation on the Internet be a prerequisite to getting to see ones son again? 

Here we see a family lawyer claiming to act in "the best interest of a child" by clearly placing his welfare above those of a child's. 

If there was anything misstated within my page here, Attorney Paul Battan would certainly file a libel suit in court against me. 

He has not because everything here is true. 

Paul Battan has clearly placed the best interest of Paul Battan well above those of a 9 year old child, and in effect is resorting to overt extortion.

Paul Battan must be boycotted until his legal objectives are truly in the interest of the child.

Call him at (360) 754-3901 or e-mail Paul@paulbattan.com and post his reply here. I'm sure that he'd love to chat.
