This is classic garbage for an attorney. In February of 1996, on my 19th day on the job, I was told to enter a building at a location where I had never been before. I was a truckdriver who had witnessed part of the murders of the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas on April 19, 1993. The company I went to work for, out of Green Bay, Wisconsin began to try recruiting me to work for them almost immediately after that. As I stepped into the building, it was totally dark, suddenly and immediately, a voice to my left said (it was the voice of the company representative who had climbed up to the top of the tank) " The fill line is directly above you ... over head!" but the drain valve is over here beneath me, you have to step around the tank to see it!" Startled and disoriented because of the darkness, I relextively stepped sideways to the left. Unknown to me the floor plates had been removes. I flipped over upside down and head first,the back of my hard cap struck the razor sharp edge of the 3/4 inch angle iron frame bouncing me up, sitll upside down, backward and head first and dropping me eight feet to the floof below, two fo my finger nails were ripped off , 14 teeth were fractured , my neck was broken at C5 and C7 in the cervical spine. The rotator cuff in my right shoulder was torn and my right hip landed on a four inch pipe manifolded across the floor. My employer and the employee responsible for this "accident" did not even call a doctor for me. I eventually had to quit to seek medical treatment. the Employer Schneider National Carriers of Green Bay, covered up everything. When I got out of the sleeper during my last dispatch into Houston, my feet began to itch almost immediately. I didn't think too much about it at first because fo the heavy traffic. Finally, when I got to Hempstead, I removed my boots. My feet were a bloody mess. As I attempted to remove my socks, the skin on the top of my feet came off. The co-driver, a homosexual had laced my boots with a hazardous chemical. Every branch of law enforcement blocked any kind of investigation I tried to initiare. I realized the "accident" of 13 Feb 1996 had been an attempted murder but did not tell my wife becuase of her poor health. I finally retained Stuart Lewis because we were getting medical bills that supposedly had been for treatment by Texas Workers Compensation (which is a joke). The collection agencies including doctors offices would call my residence around the clock 24 /7 on the hour demanding payment. The Bryan Texas Field Office and the late Office Manager, Geraldine Urso, were worse than usless. When I retained Lewis, I asked him to write a letter to the collection agencies and doctors pto prevent them from calling our house. Instead, Lewsi told us to "just go ahead and pay them but to give him all of the receipts, especially the originals. After six years and $130,000 out of pocket, my wife went to his office for the first time and asked an inexperienced intern if she could see my folder. There was not one receipt in it. Studart Lewis had destroyed every receipt and I had received no medical treatment at all. It was all a joke to him. But TWCC was actually paying him to represent me. I filed a complaint with the Texas State Bar to have Lewis Disbarred. The hearing was at the Brazos Center in Bryan, Texas on May 20, 2000. Lewis was lawyered up with Jim James of Bryan, one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Texas. During the hearing, Lewis admitted telling me to pay all of the buills and that he had purposely destroyed the receipts that he had told me to give him. He also testified that not once during the time he supposedly represented me did he contact Schneider National Carriers of Green Bay, Wisconsin, the employer who had caused these debilitating injuries. Attorney Jim James, Lewis's attorney actually got up and walked out of the hearing - abandoning his own client when he heard what Lewis had done. The hearing was concluded shortly afterward.
