There's nothing like being repreented by a inexperienced attorney posing as a longtime veteran of the courts. That's like a janitor posing as a CEO. True, Ahearn has a law degree, but she has no court experience aside from being sued, perhaps, but now she's taken her victim industry propaganda to the wonderful world of shady personal injury attorneys. I can't wait to see (and ridicule) the impending local ads this crazy woman will run. In the meantime, you have to love the fact that she glosses over the fact she was no actual experience representing anyone as an attorney. She's implying she has 20 years experience as a lawyer, and that's bullshit:

Ms. Ahearn is one of the country's most accomplished and respected crime victim and community advocates. She has fought for tens of thousands of victims for over 20 years in New York State criminal and family courts and has experience in the federal court system.
(Being a witness in court and acting as an victim industry shill does not make you an attorney with 20 years experience. Ahearn, you need to put a notice up you have less than one year's experience a an actual attorney.)
She is also the founder and executive director of a not-for-profit organization dedicated to victim's rights and crime prevention. In addition to her roles as Executive Director, Ms. Ahearn holds leadership roles such as the Chairwoman of the Suffolk County Family Violence Task Force Legal Systems Subcommittee and the Victims Services Representative of the Suffolk County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. She was also the Victims Services Representative of the Suffolk County Hate Crimes Task Force.
(None of these are jobs that require a JD.)
Ms. Ahearn has assisted in the drafting of and supported local, state, and federal legislation aimed at strengthening laws to protect our most vulnerable and broaden crime victim's and community rights. She is heavily relied upon to provide accurate, factual and pertinent information to educate the community, government officials and the media. Ms. Ahearn has been instrumental in developing and coordinating training for law enforcement on topics including crime victim compensation and community based Megan's Law Programs.
(I have to laugh at the part about providing factual information. She couldn't find a fact with GPS.)
Ms. Ahearn has received many awards including the prestigious Martin Schwartz Award for Excellence in Civil Rights for her work with victims, the New York State Senate Woman of Distinction Award, the New York State Outstanding Victims Advocate Award, the Leadership in Establishing and Maintaining Social Justice Award, Woman of the Year awards, Leadership in Community Education Award, Newsday Everyday Hero, multiple legislative and citation recognition awards and has been recognized by the U.S. Justice Department's Office of Victims of Crime and the U.S. Congress for her many accomplishments in strengthening local, state and federal policies and laws to protect our most vulnerable and to give victims a voice.
(Again, none of these dubious awards is for work as an attorney. Maybe it is because the ink hasn't fried on her degree.)
Ms. Ahearn holds an undergraduate degree in Business Administration, a Masters of Social Work (MSW) from SUNY Stony Brook she earned while on fellowship and a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Touro Law where she graduated Magna Cum Laude and at the top of her class. Laura is an avid angler and is often seen fresh or salt-water fishing in Suffolk County.
She may have gotten her JD, but it wasn't even a year ago. Most attorneys start off in a big office to gain experience, yet this woman jumps right in to private practice. Who'd hire this greenhorn to represent them?
And her specialty areas are intriguing. I guess because there are so few REAL sex abuse victims, especially in relation to the dubious "priest abuse" myth that she also needs to take "personal injury," "defective products," and "medical malpractice" on the side.
Plaintiff Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
Negligence and Medical Malpractice
Defective Products Consumer Protection
Victims of Violent Crime
Adult Survivors of Clergy Abuse, Child Victims of Sexual Abuse and Child Pornography
Adult Victims of Sexual Assault, Adult Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse, Domestic Violence & Sexual Harassment
You know what I should do? Hire Ahearn to sue Parents For Megan's Law. After all, PFML is a defective product, run by a defective executive director who consistently lies about sex crime statistics. Add that to your lawsuit, Ahearn, I dare you. I'd love to prove you wrong in a court of law.
This blog uncovers the corruption surrounding the Parents For Megan's Law (aka the "Crime Victim's Center") and its founder, Laura Ahearn. Also discusses Ahearn's close ties to the likes of disgraced politicians/ convicted criminals Dean Skelos, James Burke, and Thomas Spota. Because you can't have a "Crime Victim's Center" without CRIME. Original source material covered under Fair Use Law for investigative / educational purposes.

A 501c3 can't advocate or lobby for any law if reported to the Irs they will lose their non profit status and be fined
ReplyDeleteAhearn's law practice is separate from PFML but she's less than a block away. I think she's exploiting a loophole here by doing so.
DeleteBefore Ahearn received her law degree, she introduced, advocated for and lobbied the Suffolk legislature to pass the now defunct CPA law and it seems her influence was instrumental in having it bypass the normal committee voting with a emergency Certificate of Necessity that the County Executive likes to hand out like candy on Halloween.
