Mr. Bennet Kelley a self-professed "Internet Attorney" is claiming "victory" in a case he won NO award in and didn't succeed in squashing the truth or Freedom of Speech. Do we need to remind Mr. Kelley about the lies and mistruths in his flimsy Complaint that didn't make it past mediation? Or how you had to amend the complaint many times, because it had no legal theory. In the end you had no where to go with it and your client errors in thinking that anyone in the Republic of Armenia would side with Plaintiff over me, or any other of our citizens. Labeling me a "Cyber Attacker" is libelous and I have challenged you to debate me on Truth vs. Cyber Attacks any time, I will even grace your internet radio show with my perspective and that of an average citizen.
As the mediation report said.......anyone can sue for anything if they want to, or if Plaintiff has the money to spend on an ambulance chaser like you. The other fact is, your case was past over by many attorneys in Fresno before a law firm that is NOW closed after 50 years accepted it. "Small Victory" no not at all, you don't control the law in Armenia and the other countries, that is where the truth is being exposed. Even your client's money won't change the truth, all $1.3 million that has been earned the last 4 years from buying and selling children.
Perhaps we should also remind everyone how you wrongfully accused me of trying to harm you. All I ever did was tell you to leave my family alone (a reasonable request)that you turned into a bad circus, it isn't my fault your client lied to you about the facts and you were embarassed. You also leave out the part how you stole the federal court seal and my photo and ran it on a blog together. Your ethics is laughable and your a.m. radio show and Huffington blog (neither are paid venues) are stupid and self-promoting. As the other attorney's call you "a deceptive cheeky little monkey" I have also reported you to the Armenian Law Association in California and they are not happy with your ethnic slurs and as you put it "Tweeking on a Lark". Your antics are unethical and it's too bad your client doesn't file legal malpractice charges against you for destroying her case and abusing her reputation. Not to mention stealing over $100K in legal fees from your client and promising to destroy people who have an opinion or truthful substantiated proof of wrong doing. Surely, your client understands that everyone doesn't believe she is a savior of some sort.
Your client wins nothing and you win nothing in damages because you failed to prove this and failed to distinguish the multitude of reports from Brandeis University to Radio free Europe regarding irregular practices in adoption. One should ask why Mr. Kelley doesn't file flimsy lawsuits against the journalists or news companies? Why? Because he can't attack the truth, so he creates straw man arguments that amount to no more than fantasy writing by Kelley. So lets see here, $100K spent on legal fees and $85K reimbursed for legal fees by the insurance company. At the end of the day, you didn't squash the truth and never will.
Mr. Kelley also proceeded to attack my community with Ethnic Slurs and harass my family which precipitated a police report. All of which is sitting on the DA's office in Santa Monica, California. if you think you will win Mr. Kelley you are sadly mistaken, you only win with making a complete fool out of yourself especially when it was found that your complaint had errors and misinformation in it.
Remember Kelley you didn't do your due diligence and verify your client's remarks about "so called" clients and THE REAL reason they stopped their contract to adopt. Which if you recall had nothing to do with me or any other journalist, this was verified by a 3rd party who interviewed the 4 couples who cited "bad customer service" and other "inconsistancies" in the horrible and laughable written complaint that is being laughed at by every law professor on the west coast. Your embarassment after finding these facts were true were evident in your behavior toward me and resorting to personal attacks because you COULD NOT WIN A JUDGMENT.
Keep up the attacking Bennet, you are a low life sleeze only after attorney fees. Which your client paid you handsomely for. What was it that you were paid? Estimates by legal friends say it was $85-100K for legal fees? and what did I have to pay? .......ZERO. Kelley didn't succeed in doing what he set out to do, harm me financially and emotionally. So how much more did the Plaintiff pay you to straighten up her business reputation? You are a paid agitator and have done this for the Democratic party by attacking former President Bush (Bushlies.net) But attacking a solo citizen is unacceptable for your wealthy client. Your client is not a small business as you would have people believe, their IRS revenue reported is $1.3 million for the last 4 years. Adoption Agencies are not exactly without critics these days, as such they have dropped off by 52% the last 4 years for good reasons.
Here is the lie Kelley posted. If he wants to call it a “victory”, he can. Of course, you’re free to categorize it however you want. Plaintiffs easily incurred legal fees and costs in excess of $100k. The mediation alone probably cost them ten grand between attorneys’ fees, the mediator’s fee, hotels, and flights. Surely, Bennet walked away with more money to support his lackluster writing and speaking career. Do you really think bashing private citizens and aligning yourself with a group that is currently under FBI investigation is good for your reputation?
Mr. Kelley you will never stop freedom of speech and the truth, as this was explained to you by Judge Westerfield. Admittedly, your own client admits the arrest and the DISMISSAL BY the former employer, all known and substantiated facts. Again you misled everyone and your communication sucks, I think your own quote "do anything for a buck" suits you well. Your professors from back east would be very ashamed of your lousy tactics and infantile actions. You lose and you have to resort to personal attacks on children and 80 year olds.
Mr. Kelley professes to stand up for Freedom of Speech and applauds "Occupy Wall Street Movement". Unfortunately when it comes to lawyers and mercenaries, they will always side with the paying client as they are a paid mouthpiece puppet. No lawyer can be trusted, so we have to ask Mr. Kelley does he stand on the side of moral virtues or big business and greed? I think we know the answer. Also you profess to defend Spam, yet claim you added a website attacking me for spam filters (whatever that is suppose to mean- Everyone should realize Bennet has a magical way with word salads- after all he is a wanna be writer) Then fail to mention you were paid unsuccessfully by Spam Lobbyists, not to mention your former job as in house counsel for Value Click who have since "parted ways" with you. I understand your late father was an honorable DA in Rhode Island, too bad you have not filled his shoes.
P.S. THIS LATEST BLOG YOU POSTED ABOUT ME IS PROOF, OF YOUR VICIOUS PROSECUTION ATTEMPT AND VEXATOUS MALICIOUS LITIGATION. YOU LOSE AND ARE A LOSER.
Internet Law Center Announces Victory against Serial Cyber Defamer; Calls for Legislative Action
Internet Law Center Announces Victory against Serial Cyber Defamer;
Calls for Legislative Action
SANTA MONICA, CA–Nov. 15, 2011—The Internet Law Center, a law firm based in Santa Monica, California, announced today it had achieved a significant victory for its client Hopscotch Adoptions, Inc. (www.hopscotchadoptions.org) of High Point, North Carolina in a federal defamation action against Vanessa Kachadurian of Fresno, California, with an $85,000 settlement.
Hopscotch and its founder Robin Sizemore, filed suit against Kachadurian in federal court in Fresno in December 2009 in response to a vicious cyber-smear campaign that began in 2006. The plaintiffs were merely one of several adoption and educational institutions to be targeted for abuse by Kachadurian under multiple identities.
“It is a gutsy move for a small non-profit like Hopscotch to say ‘enough’ and take on someone like Kachadurian who can devastate a small business,” said Internet Law Center founder Bennet Kelley. This is especially true when, Kelley added, “cyber abuse often escalates online and leads to offline threats of violence in over one in four cases according to data compiled by WHO@ (www.haltabuse.org).”
“Small victories like these collectively send an important message that the internet is no longer the ‘Wild, Wild West’ and that you can and will be held accountable for your actions.”
Kelley noted, however, that “Kachadurian is part of a growing class of internet serial defamers who cause substantial economic and emotional harm to their victims and who have forced companies to spend millions on online reputation management to block and/or respond to such attacks.”
Kelley, who helped draft a primer on internet law for California policymakers, argued that lawmakers across the country should seriously assess whether their state’s defamation laws need to be updated to address these worst offenders.
Kelley added that, this may be a topic he explores in more depth in a future edition of Cyber Law and Business Report, a radio show he hosts that airs weekly on WebmasterRadio.fm.

Kellly if you want to go public, bring me on your radio show and we can discuss Cyber attacks vs. TRUTH. Anytime you are willing I am able. I have nothing to hide from. Remember the truth was in the mediation report, and you were quite embarassed.
ReplyDeleteBTW I want to remind you about the Lan Act and using my name to advertise your one-man law operation, I have not given you permission to use my name. cease and desist my friend!!!
ReplyDeletehey this guy didn't want to go to trial, he knew he couldn't win so he had to settle for a reimbursement on legal fees.
ReplyDeleteThat is correct, he is not a trial attorney and this case never went to trial nor had any chance of going before a jury. Frankly, this is what I wanted, but the Plaintiffs did not- so they opted instead to get a small portion of their legal fees reimbursed which ended up in the attorney's pocket. Probably, the only paying client he has since his other stints are "freebies"
ReplyDeleteThere was no judgment, at all and never will be since the Complaint had errors, misinformation and non-litigatious comedy in it. Furthermore, the Plaintiff admits the arrest and dismissal are factual and known by many people. But one can understand why the Plaintiff doesn't want information about her practices known.
The clients didn't collaborate any of the information. So what? The Plaintiff was called an "odar" and felt she should litigate over this? and in the same breath admits she doesn't speak Armenian. She should get over herself and realize that she is not Armenian even though she tries so hard to embed herself in a culture and language she knows very little about.
It was in the best interest of the Plaintiff to cut losses and file an order to vacate the silly lawsuit.
Kelley advised his client well on that part but here in Fresno we would have welcomed the case and were looking forward to it.
Not one dime was my money but the insurance company that covered me at the time, which was my prior insurance company from over 2 years ago. The insurance company's attorneys did a good job, in their investigation and speaking with many others. They were also prompt in paying my expenses for testifying: hotel, food, gas, etc.,
So they didn't succeed in harming me financially, ceasing the truth, etc., the truth marches on and will continue to do so, in Armenia and in the USA.
Justice has been served for Truth and Freedom of Speech.
Kelley is an excellent lawyer and I think he would have loved to get you on the stand. I've been reading slot about you lately and it sounds like you have more legal issues arising. Time to keep a low profile my dear.
ReplyDeleteThis person above should learn to spell (slot) Vanessa Jan, did you know this Kelley has done other unethical issues like cybersquatting? He squatted on another attorney's web site by creating a new one with 1 letter missing. http://gawker.com/dan-balsam/
ReplyDeletehttp://www.danhatesspam.com/
"Excellent lawyer" that resorts to harassing children and elderly family members because he could not take this case to court? I am an attorney and in California this guy is mudd and will soon fall further into his own hoopla that he creates. Kelley is being laughed at right now in the Public Defender's office in Los Angeles as a stooge.
Kelley likes to create drama because he is trying very very hard to be famous (which he will never be in California) He is only in the top 20 Internet Lawyers and there is very few who practice in this area, probably 20. He will soon get his drama in LA and at the California Bar Association where there is over 6 complaints filed against him in the last 4 years.
We were waiting too for Kelley to get Ms. Kachadurian in the stand in Fresno. But he just couldn't do it so he creates "fake arrests" and uses the law and steps over the line. You will get burned my friend, Vanessa has many many friends that are attorneys and judges.
Kelley is the one that should keep a low profile in California, especially with the racial slurs and trying to manipulate members of the Turkish community. Not very smart Kelley, not smart at all.
Anon, thank you but that is old news on Bennet Kelley. He will stoop to any length to keep drama around him because he so craves the attention. He is still trying to convince his client that he actually did something to benefit her $$business. You and your groups need to focus on Mr. Kelley working with the Gulen Movement. An organization that has jailed over 100 Turkish Journalists and do not believe in Freedom of Speech. Incidently, last week they jailed over 60 Kurdish lawyers, so that is what they REALLY think of clowns like him.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly Mr. Kelley picks some strange and controversial clients to work with. But neverthless they have deep pockets..both want to censor critics and freedom of speech.
He keeps working with them and as Ahmet Sik says "You touch it you will burn", he fools no one with his stupidity. Digging a nice big hole the size of a grave.
To my other Turkish friends thank you for having my back and to my Turkish brother in law Tugart Erbil, people like Mr. Kelley will not stop Freedom of Speech or profess to be some guardian of the Internet. Thanks for the exhoneration of the bail, I appreciate my buddies!!! Lets move forward with everything. Have a nice time in Las Vegas at the conference, Make sure you say "hello" to all of my friends attending.
Those Armenian Cabbies get around LAX quite often.
To Anon #1
ReplyDelete" I think he would have loved to get you on the stand"
Gee why didn't he? Oh that is right, he couldn't because the claims were unfounded and untruthful.
Even Ray Charles could see that.
Vanessa,
ReplyDeleteIt is best to leave this person who has a sick obsession with you to the authorities. Look at the type of people / businesses he is protecting.
human trafficking
fraud on america
terrorism perpetrated on Turkish citizens
manipulation of education funds in America
need I say more? This person is slowly creating career suicide. Particularly in California. what a shame, he may have had a career in journalism or he can switch to TV court with judge Judy.
sent from blackberry..
what happens in vegas stays in vegas
ReplyDeleteMany of us with the Trial Lawyers of Central California evaluated this Complaint. We found it was poorly written and had more slant toward portraying Vanessa as some sort of "lunatic" (exact words that Judge O'Neil used) rather than having anything substantiated to litigate on. Hence this is why Gerard had to amend the Complaint that didn't amount to any more than bad journalism on the part of lead Attorney.
ReplyDeleteIncidently, we were anticipating this case coming to Fresno we had many journalist that were interested in cover this, including the Armenian journalists and TV.
It was obvious what the intent of the nuisance malicious Complaint was, only to harm financially, reputation and emotionally the Defendant. This all failed and backfired miserably on the Plaintiff.
Incidently, I am an adoptive father as well as an Attorney. Although I adopted over 10 years ago, we adopted without the meddling of a middle man. At the time we could handle our own adoptions, since we speak and read and write Armenian. An attorney friends in Armenia filed the paperwork and facilitated the information and communication between the government officials and our family.
Today, there is a few attorneys that have been accrediated by the hague that can help with future adoptions. However, it is best to identify the relinquished child prior to this as the most challenging part of adoptions in our Fatherland is available children.
I personally wouldn't use an adoption agency that openly boasts about some kind of legal win over a private individual. Anyone with a brain can see there was no judgment against you as you are still blogging and informing everyone of the truth. That is so very tacky and unprofessional.
ReplyDeleteHaving to boast and overstate the mediation results is quite suspect and it does no favor for the reputation of this adoption agency. No one is comfortable with hiring an agency or business that would try and intimidate anyone from speaking the truth or make false claims against anyone.
I think it is a bad attempt at trying to appear like a victim that is backfiring on them all, or as a warning to others in Armenia that this agency will sue anyone. So, how is it that this agency is also giving the illusion that they are friends with Dr. K?
These are all very poor desperate attempts by a failing agency in a failing industry, that won't change the fact there are no children available, especially the healthy infants. In particularly having to go back 5 years ago and showcase adoptions that were not conducted under the more stricter anti-child trafficking Hague Convention that was ratified in 2007-2008.
The old way of conducting adoptions, is no longer acceptable to the Republic of Armenia Social Ministry offices.
Any available healthy infants will go to our citizens or to the French Armenians who are our friends. France has recognized the Armenian genocide and America continues to play games with our politics.
The Americans that adopted healthy infants don't care about the Armenian families that were destroyed to make their family complete.
Hopefully this agency is being advised to write more clauses in her contract to protect her from liability of these very sick children who are mostly catagorized as non-correctable.
