It is Christmas at Osgoode Hall.
Marty Teplitsky’s daughter Sheryl Teplitsky runs very successful collection agency in Toronto.
She succeeds where everybody else fails, she succeeds at an impossible task of collecting money for Toronto blood sucking lawyers.
One just wonders how she does it??
How would she be able persuade or intimidate business people to pay Toronto lawyers for their inflated and mostly fraudulent legal bills???
Lets see: How about an arrangement where her father would once a year at Christmas time use the facilities of the Law Society of Upper Canada to throw a Christmas Dinner for all homeless people living on the streets of downtown Toronto???
How about an arrangement where Chief Justice of Ontario Court of Appeals Warren Winkler would act as a head waiter at that party and would give an interview to the press that Marty Teplitsky is his good friend???
How about an arrangement where Marty Teplitsky would stand at the door of Osgoode Hall and give ten bucks to every beggar, every homeless person, and every drug junkie that came to Osgoode Hall on that day for a free food??
Would such a graphic spectacle involving 600 destitute guests, many Ontario judges and lawyers as well as Toronto Police keeping order be enough of message to all members of Toronto business community that they better cough up the money to Sheryl Teplitsky when she knocks on their door than run a risk that her father Marty would drive them destitute and force them to join the crowd that once a year comes to Osgoode Hall to benefit from Marty’s “charity”???
In my wildest dreams I would never be able to come up with more graphic way to advertise legal extortion racket.
If you think for a split of a second that I am making it all up please read on.

| Law firm collection specialist succeeds with mediation-based approach
By Pablo Fuchs
Sheryl Teplitsky has helped many firms collect outstanding bills by adopting a mediation-based approach. Photo by Pablo Fuchs When was the last time you heard a bad debtor speak highly of a collection agency? Probably never, right? Well that’s exactly what happened with a client of one of Winnipeg’s largest law firms after dealing with Thornhill, Ont.-based Bond Street Collections, Inc. “The debtor was unwilling to pay until Bond Street got involved,†the credit supervisor of the unnamed 55-lawyer firm told The Lawyers Weekly. “Once they did, a solution was reached and he even complimented them, telling us that he was treated with respect and in a courteous, business-like manner.†The brainchild of Sheryl Teplitsky, Bond Street has been collecting unpaid legal fees on behalf of law firms since 1994 with an unlikely approach for a collection agency. “I motivate people to pay,†explained Teplitsky, “by facilitating communication, breaking down barriers and opening the door to problem-solving.†In more accurate terms, Teplitsky does not use the intimidation and harassment-based approach employed by virtually all collection agencies under the sun. Instead, she applies a calm, sales-based method that encourages clients of legal services to pay their unpaid bills. “It’s very similar to sales,†she said of collecting. “You try to persuade people that it’s in their best interest to pay. At the same time, most people have good intentions and would rather resolve the matter amicably and pay their bills, if given the opportunity.†Teplitsky learned about all that 15 years ago while working as a summer student collecting bad debts for a Toronto-based, 21-lawyer firm. Initially, she was dealing with unpaid bills that were two to three years old. She stayed at the firm for two years and eventually got that down to bills that were 90-days-old, then 45-days-old, then finally 30-days-old. Given that unique experience, Teplitsky found her calling and decided not to follow the law school education that she was set to pursue. Instead, she took advantage of her collecting gift and went into business, opening the nationally licenced and fully bonded Bond Street. At first, she took some time to build a clientele. But eventually, she got it done with the same motivational skills and persistence that have made her a whiz at what she does. “The firm wasn’t interested initially,†explained Renee Fullerton, collections supervisor for Goodmans LLP. “But she never gave up, she was pleasantly persistent and because of that, the managing partner and the managing director gave her a shot.†The result? “She turned out to be very good,†Fullerton added. “We had trouble collecting from one of our U.S.-based clients, but she was able to locate them and get the payment in full.†In the more than four years she has been dealing with Goodmans, Teplitsky has done wonders for the firms, collecting 75 to 80 per cent of outstanding bills that it had already considered lost as well as helping to clear the backlog of more recent unpaid bills. So why was Teplitsky able to collect the bills the firm couldn’t on its own? Fullerton believes that once a third party gets involved, it makes people nervous and aware that the problem won’t simply go away. As a result, many clients with outstanding debt ended up coming back to the firm after paying off their bills. “Lawyers want their money but they don’t want to upset the client,†Teplitsky noted. “If it’s settled amicably, it opens the door for future business for that account and for referrals.†How does she accomplish that without resorting to the intimidation methods espoused by other collectors? Teplitsky explains that she calls the clients, explains the situation, specifically what lawyers do, noting all the work they put into a file behind the scenes. Then, she explains the different options, which include: not paying, which would result in the firm pursuing legal remedies; setting up a payment plan; or collecting a lump sum up front. Overall, she says that she ends up collecting between 20 and 35 of all the files that come her way, explaining that there are variables that affect the process, mostly the age of the account – the older the account, the more the value of the work decreases with clients – as well as the area of law. Family lawyers have a higher rate of unpaid bills because “people don’t budget for a divorce.†However, Teplitsky is trying to change that as well. Last April she received a certificate in dispute resolution from York University and has been applying many of the principles she has learned from that course into her business. “People want a sense of closure and [this approach] makes everyone feel better, which opens doors for the future,†she said. Currently, Teplitsky is trying to further her use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods. She’s in the process of obtaining her LLM in ADR at Osgoode Hall Law School and expects to obtain the designation within the next year and a half. Once she’s done that, she wants to expand her services to include more ADR services, primarily to help firms solve internal, personal disputes. But her main focus will still be collecting for law firms along with her two associates in the manner that she has developed over the last decade. “Our infrastructure is modelled after a law firm, so there’s a professional synergy there,†she said. “We’ve worked very hard for our reputation and intend to keep it.†|

Christmas Dinner at Osgoode Hall where merchants of misery offer their “charity” as a veiled warning to all Ontarians still resisting legal extorsion scams.
Martin Teplitski (Sheryl’s father), known in shadowy world of Toronto legal mafia as “the judge makerâ€, once a year comes of the woodwork to show all Canadians how generous and charitable he can be to those, whom he and his legal mafia friends, reduced to position of street prostitutes, druggies and homeless beggars.
It is a very sick spectacle indeed.

| Justices offer up steaks and jazz for the homeless KATE HAMMER From Thursday’s Globe and Mail December 18, 2008 at 4:14 AM EST Turning up the earflaps of his winter hat and unzipping his coat, Cliff Wind settled into his chair at a cafeteria table in the basement of Osgoode Hall. A wisp of a man composed of equal parts flesh, bone and beard, he’d been standing in the cold with hundreds of Toronto’s hungry and homeless for nearly four hours waiting for a hot meal. When the filet mignon coated with gravy and snuggled between green beans and French fries was placed on the table in front of him, he grinned. “I haven’t had filet mignon in 20 years. It is the best meat in the world,” he said, his 53-year-old eyes widening behind a thick pair of glasses. Delicately, he cut a generous bite, stabbed it with his plastic fork and slipped it into his mouth. His eyes narrowed and his beard bobbed as he chewed in silence for several seconds.
“It’s very good,” he decreed at last. “It would be even nicer if I had teeth.” Mr. Wind held the 29th of 600 tickets handed out yesterday for the Lawyers Feed the Hungry Program Christmas dinner. Each ticket granted the bearer entrance to Osgoode Hall, where a filet mignon dinner, bread pudding, a live jazz band, new socks and a crisp $10 bill awaited. Dinner began at 5 p.m., but, nearly an hour before, the line outside Osgoode Hall stretched around the building to University Avenue, and people had to be turned away as all 600 tickets had been dispensed. After shivering in line for two hours, John Chesson, 60, was one of those lucky enough to secure a ticket. He smiled when, while waiting outside, he learned that Ontario Chief Justice Warren Winkler would be one of his servers. “I’m a former client,” he said. Nearly 20 years ago, Mr. Chesson said he was sentenced by a judge, now known as Chief Justice Winkler, to four years in prison for bank robbery. (Mr. Chesson says he was innocent.) “Can I get a pardon with my steak?” he asked. A short time later, Chief Justice Winkler, who padded about on brown loafers while balancing trays stacked with filet mignon, chuckled at the suggestion of steaks served with a side of pardon. “I think that’s a dandy idea,” he joked, and then, after a quiet pause of judicial contemplation, he added, “Well, maybe half-pardons.” Chief Justice Winkler is a close friend of Martin Teplitsky, the founder of the program, who arrived with $6,000 cash in a flimsy grocery bag. As is tradition with the 11-year-old program, Mr. Teplitsky paid for the steaks and handed out $10 of his own money to 600 diners. The funds, for many, are the main attraction, and several eager patrons tried to bypass the meal, steamrolling directly toward the exit where Mr. Teplitsky handed out crisp purple bank notes. Each was rerouted by a friendly, strategically placed volunteer. Mr. Teplitsky has been criticized over the years for the extravagance of his annual Christmas feast. A hugely successful lawyer who dislikes the label “foodie” because he feels it denotes a certain culinary elitism he lacks, Mr. Teplitsky bristles at the notion that charity meals can’t include gourmet ingredients. Mr. Wind, after dabbing drops of gravy from the corners of his beard, agreed. |
Just replace; Martin Teplitsky’s name with that of “All Caponeâ€, Law Society of Upper Canada name with “La Cosa Nostraâ€, Ontario Court of Appeal name with that of “the Commission†and consider Errors & Omissions insurance at over $12000.00 dollars a year that each lawyer has to pay to LSUC as protection racket money and you will get a picture why everybody in Toronto legal community goes along with Marty’s initiative.
While making public mockery of Christian charity and Christian generosity Ontario judiciary quietly reintroduced debtors’ prisons in Canada and just recently started to set ground rules for imprisonment for those who cannot afford to pay ransom imposed on them.
No lawyer and no evidence of any sort is ever required. FRO records are deemed to be accurate and court orders that they use to enforce their reign of terror are deemed to be authentic. If it happens that FRO uses fraudulent court orders and falsified statements of accounts judges presiding over incarceration hearings deny jurisdiction to hear that evidence and they throw blasphemous debtors in jail for daring to challange credibility of FRO and crooked lawyers that act for them.
Michael Barry Miller, crooked lawyer who presented fabricated evidence in court, committed perjury and falsified court order with intent to use FRO to defraud poor father who is trying to protect his son from sexual abuse is protected by LSUC and Madam Justice Nancy L. Backhouse, wife of Mr. Martin Teplitsky “the judge makerâ€, and Justice Backhouse in turn is protected by her husband’s good friend Chief Justice Warren Winkler, who in turn acts as the head waiter during party for the poor and downtrodden, thrown by Mr. Teplitsky.
Below is a link to previous post regarding recent ruling made by the Ontario Court of Appeals that is housed in a building owned and operated by the Law Society of Upper Canada. The very same building that the poor are allowed to visit only one a year and only as official recepients of “charity” dipensed to them by habitual blood suckers who want to feel better about themselves and at the same time intimidate others to pay up..
Revolutionary developments on legal front in Ontario
Why yours, of course, Lynchie. And yer gettin’ a downright atomic wedgie by the danged thing, too.
For those of you who haven’t heard yet, constitutional law expert Richard Moon has finished his little PR stunt that CHRC uber-dachte-Polizistin 
An independent report recommends stripping the Canadian Human Rights Commission of its authority to police hate messages on the Internet.
Now, before anybody out there (especially any Americans reading this) even thinks about hooting and hollering about how they didn’t see this coming: STFU!
