This is what she writes: I have been severely battered and I am having problems convicting the LAWYER who battered me. I am a 60 year old severely battered requiring over 5 hours of neuro surgery. This lawyer has a criminal record COCAINE, DV of a former wife and four other convictions. I have filed a complaint with the bar but they deny a problem and asked me if I was aware he would lose his license if I prosecuted him! What can I do? I am hoping that this might elicit some helpful ideas, not only for this particular woman, but for all of us who either may be in a similar situation, or asked by a student one day how to go about convicting a lawyer, police officer, doctor, psychiatrist, etc. Daphne Daphne Greenberg Assistant Professor Educational Psych. & Special Ed.
