Harvey Preston Soss

I had the misfortune to meet Mr. Soss as my 18B lawyer. In 2005 or 2007 the event was so traumatic I can hardly remember the year. This was my first time being arrested and jailed. While in cell counselor Soss asks what happened, I proceed to tell, he is visibly upset because I say I am poor and was...hing out by hand my son's school uniform shirt. He interrupted, and never got to hear that I didn't call the fire dept., that I went down stairs to tell fire dept. they weren't needed, that while standing in my lobby I couldn't even get the fire dept, attention, that NYPD shows up on the scene, that I say what are you guys doing here, they say they must be here, I say o.k. and ride up in elevator with them, I hold apt door open for all to enter, fire dept. goes in, I'm still holding the door open for PD to enter (while standing inside my apt) , that they don't enter, that I eventually(this is a while) start to close the apt door to join FD in the kitchen, that before my hand can release the knob, PD kicks the apt door in my face causing me to fall back bump my head and fall unconscious to the floor, that when I regain consciousness I come up swinging but catch myself to make a graze sound on the jacket of the female police officer, that now when I learn I am being arrested for non compliance I fall to the floor with my hands under me so I wont be misunderstood as being threatening so I wont be beat to death (t.v.), that when the police supervisor arrives I tell him they kick the door in my face, his reply of "sure" adds insult to injury, that while the FD were in my kitchen they took a knife and heated it and burned grooves in the refrigerator and microwave ( I learned this later after returning home) which is why I got the feeling I should go to the kitchen, that the male police officer took a note taped to the back of the apartment door addressed to the burglers, saying "stop braking in and eating our food from the kitchen, we barely have enough food for ourselves" and put it on the wall next to the door and called ACS on me. And that the FD lied and said I was arguing with the police, which never happened. And finally counselor Soss had the nerve to ask my mother when picking me up from jail to drive him home which we did. had he actually listened to my story he and I would have been compensated by a lawsuit against the NYPD. but he didn't so I was falsely arrested spent time in jail went to the bathroom in front of other people, my 11 yr old was ripped from his bed and taken to my mothers home. and I was told that nypd apologized by not showing up to the court date and going on vacation.
