Brantford Lawyer accused of second scandal
On February 26, 2014 I made a video called “Notice Given: If You Lie about Men I Will Expose Your Lies”
The video was made as a direct result of what I witnessed in a case before the Brantford Ontario Courts. In the video I mention Tom, a regular guy who is going through a pretty tough custody battle.
Tom alleges that his ex-wife’s lawyer, David Maltby, has acted dishonestly in the case and that he has intentionally obstructed Tom’s efforts to achieve a just resolution to the matter. Tom claims that Maltby has intentionally entered false information on court forms; delivered court documents to the wrong address outside of the prescribed time; and that his ex, Cindy, made it difficult for him to visit his child.
While Tom’s allegations are yet to be tested in a court of law, Maltby (a Brantford lawyer whose main areas of practice are family, real estate and civil litigation) has acted unprofessionally before. Maltby was found guilty by the Law Society of Upper Canada of misleading a client and delaying delivery of legal documents to a second lawyer the client hired. According to Maltby, “I delayed the case although it was commenced through another lawyer. I acknowledged what I did and admitted I had not served my client well.” Maltby had lied to his client over the course of SIX YEARS, telling her that he was working on her behalf (while under retainer) despite the fact that he hadn’t begun any legal action.
That case was originally covered by Susan Gamble, of the Brantford Expositer.
