Frank Oliver Fox

In 1999 my mother approached the law firm of Fox & Fox who she then engaged to draw up a Will and a Living Trust document for her. In 2000 she wrote to Fox & Fox demanding that they send her the original documents, which they duly did. In 2001 my mother died and I became Trustee/Executor of her est...ate. Within a couple of months of our mother's passing my siblings hired Frank O Fox to petition the court to have me removed as Trustee/Executor of the estate. The charges amounted to no more than baseless allegations, reams of paper, but no evidence. As such, they -my siblings and Frank O Fox- were beaten before they struck the P in Petition. However, the judge, Thomas Stoever- the newly appointed supervisor of the probate department with "very little experience in probate," - 'gave control' of my mother's estate to Fox and his clients. After some three years of to-ing and fro-ing Frank Fox committed what I can only describe as an act of legal suicide. Not knowing that I had a degree in maths he sent me fraudulent accounts replete with omissions and inaccuracies. Most significantly, there was a charge of misappropriation of funds and a cancelled cheque which should not have been there. To add insult to injury there was even a threat to take me to court if documents were not signed. For the past 7 years I've been trying to get the State Bar Council to look into the matter, I've even written to the Board of Governors, and the Governor of California, to no avail. I've recently read an article from 2005 by Dan Evans entitled: "Woman defeats lawyer's lien for fees" which seems to suggest to me that in 2009 we are still having problems with Frank Fox. Something needs to be done about this man. When saying so, I think it outrageous that Frank O Fox is still allowed to practice law in LA. From my own experience one word sums up Frank O Fox: charlatan.
