Superior Court Found Pex Aves Guilty of "Unauthorized Practice of Law" as Early as 2002
 
By Bobby M. Reyes
 
P acifico "Pex" Aves whom this online publication exposed as a "fake 'lawyer' and bogus journalist" was fined $2,000 in 2002 by a Los Angeles, California, Superior Court for "committing a fraudulent, unfair, and deceptive act" of "unauthorized practice of law." He was ordered also to return $3,000 that he collected as fees from his "clients" in the instant case.
 
The following entry appeared in "The Watchdog," a periodic newsletter published by the Office of the United States Trustee, Region 16, issued on Dec. 9, 2002, Issue No. 11: QUOTE.
 
      Unauthorized Practice of Law
 
      Judge Russell issued findings that Pex Aves, a petition preparer, engaged in the unauthorized practice of law. The debtor provided details connecting Aves to this bankruptcy filing. The attorney, whose name was on the petition, said he neither signed nor authorized his signature on the bankruptcy documents.
 
      The Court found that Aves had several violations of Section 110, including failing to sign the bankruptcy documents, failing to disclose his identifying number, failing to disclose his fees, using the term "legal" in his advertising, and collecting the filing fee. The Court determined that he advised the debtors on the differences between Chapters 7 and 13 and where to file bankruptcy. Aves also completed the exemptions for the debtors who testified that they did not know what an exemption meant. The Court found that Aves committed a fraudulent, unfair, and deceptive act, fined him $2,000, and ordered that he return another $3,000 in fees to the debtors.
 
      The Court also issued findings regarding attorney John Nordblom, whose name appeared on the petition, including:
 
       . the attorney lent his name to a joint enterprise with the preparer to engage in the practice of law;
 
       . the attorney was hired and paid by the preparer to appear at the Section 341(a) meetings;
 
       . the preparer testified that he was to split a fee with the attorney for the debtors' case. UNQUOTE.
 
This publication's columnist and correspondent, Romeo P. Marquez of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, wrote several articles about Mr. Aves being a "fake lawyer and bogus journalist," as may be best seen in a video produced by Mr. Marquez and which appears in the "Entertainment" section of this website.
 

Mr. Marquez's article, YouTube Newsvideo of Pex Aves, the Filipino Impostor of a “Lawyer” and “Journalist” in Los Angeles, carries also links to his other articles about Pex Aves. # # #
