Introduction
This web site was quickly thrown together so that the citizens of Logan County are aware of just how "biased" and "unfair" Logan County Family Court truly is. Those are not my own words, even though I share the opinion, but they are in fact the words of Angela Robinson, Office Manager, for the Mark Hobbs Law Firm!
A Topix thread appeared recently for the City of Logan, and I felt obligated to share my experiences. Another anonymous Topix poster requested an e-mail address so that I could be contacted. This person expressed interest in making sure that "Abraham, Ilderton, and Harwood got their due justice." I provided an e-mail address, and several correspondences took place.
The person eventually revealed herself as Angela Robinson, Office Manager for Mark Hobbs! Wow! I was given an admission from a local law firm that Logan Family Court is truly unfair! Based on personal knowledge, I knew that Mr. Hobbs would never have the guts to stand up against Abraham or Harwood, so I made the decision to end my correspondence with Mrs. Robinson and post these messages publicly on Topix. This decision was also made since Mrs. Robinson seemed more concerned with financial interests (her loss of bonuses due to Abraham & Ilderton's success) than truly creating an equal playing field for all parties involved. If Mr. Hobbs is truly concerned with justice, why is he not advising his clients of these problems? Why is Mr. Hobbs not fighting tooth and nail in court to uphold the law and the rights of his clients? And most importantly, I find it unforgivingly ridiculous that Mrs. Robinson, Office Manager for a Law Firm, would talk trash on a public forum about a competing law firm and the Family Law Judge that hears their cases!
I have several friends who are going through divorces and are being treated as unfairly as I was due to the conflicts of interest that exist in Logan Family Court. My intention is to shine a bright light on the issues that exist and to make certain that the parties involved feel pressure to uphold the laws of WV.
Divorce happens to good people. A hard-working, loving and involved parent does not deserve to have their custody rights stripped away just because the other parent hired the judge's friend. Custody decisions should be entered into amicably or resolved fairly in a court of law. This is NOT how my case was handled, and this is NOT how many other cases are being handled in Logan Family Court.
This web site exists to preserve the chain of events that have transpired and the comments that are quickly disappearing from Topix. Please share this with others so that the parties involved will be forced to uphold the laws of WV. Some day you or someone you know may be sitting in that courtroom. Would you want fairness?

you are right. For Harwood all that matters is that he sides with the lawyer that put him where he is.

You're absolutely right, and I wish more people would see the conflicts of interest that take place in Logan County every day! How is it fair for a judge to preside over a case when he used to be employed by one of the attorneys in the case?! It's not! I'm referring to Abraham & Ilderton. Harwood was employed as assistant prosecuting attorney by then prosecuting attorney, Brian Abraham.
If you have a case involving Harwood and Abraham & Ilderton, DEMAND HARWOOD TO RECUSE HIMSELF! I tried in my case, but he would not, even though he was legally obligated to do so. I was misled and bullied by both Harwood and Abraham. My case was handled VERY UNETHICALLY with Harwood showing unbelievable favoritism towards Abraham. Judges cannot try cases when they are close friends with the attorneys involved. It is a conflict of interest.
Abraham and Harwood have a mutually beneficial relationship with one another. Ask yourself this: Do you think Harwood would go against Abraham & Ilderton in his courtroom, when Abraham & Ilderton are working for Harwood right now to help Harwood and his wife purchase $250,000 worth of heirship property in Crawley without all the heirs knowing about the sale?(Public notice given on June 28th, buried on page 12 of Logan Banner.) NO WAY! So if you have a case before Harwood with Abraham & Ilderton involved, DEMAND A RECUSAL! Better yet, ask Harwood why he hasn't recused himself already!
In addition to the conflict of interest in court rulings, all of the public knowledge about Harwood and Abraham's mutually beneficial relationship is benefitting the Abraham & Ilderton law firm tremendously. For example, I have 2 friends who are going through divorces right now. Both wives ran to Abraham & Ilderton because they are aware of the relationship between Harwood and Abraham and want the upper hand in court.
How again is all of this NOT a conflict of interest??????

I couldn't agree more! Finally someone has shed a little light on the citizens of Logan County!! I think everyone is tired of getting rairoaded by this Abraham & Harwood duo. Anyone and I mean anyone that goes up against Abraham in Family Court gets SCREWED! It doesn't matter which judge hears the case. There have been so many rights violated, especially the people that proceed without an attorney...It's a shame!...But I hear the ACLU & the FEDS have been doing some investigating!! ;)

Personally, I have suffered for years over how I was treated so unfairly in court at the hands of these two. I have the tapes from all my hearings, and I even had the sense to carry a tape recorder in my pocket to the "settlement discussions" held in Abraham's office, where nothing is really discussed or negotiated. It's just an opportunity for Abraham to stand over you and tell you that if you don't agree to his terms, you are going to be screwed. In my case, he stood over me, as I shed tears at the thought of selling the only home my child has ever known, and told me word-for-word: "You will agree to our terms. You will take ALL marital debt. If not, your home will be sold." I said, "Well, I'm not agreeing to this. I guess the judge will have to decide." To which Abraham responded, "You will never be heard by the judge. A judge will never make a decision. This will be decided right here in my office." I have this all on tape.
At that meeting at Abraham's office, I had also made the mistake of revealing that I was under extreme financial hardship since being left with the burden of all marital debt. Abraham succeeded in delaying all hearings for nearly a year, just to drain me. Harwood approved them all.
Immediately after my then wife ran off with another man, I was served papers from Abraham accusing me of domestic violence. Prior to any hearings, I was able to get my soon-to-be ex-wife to admit that she had fabricated the domestic violence accusations as an attempt to gain the upper hand in court. I have the admission on tape. I made it a point to bring this up in court, but Harwood refused to acknowledge that any accusations of domestic violence had been made. I specifically told Harwood on the record, "I have the original Motion for Temporary Relief right here that specifically states that the Petitioner left the Respondent as the result of domestic violence. It is signed by Abraham and the Petitioner, and even notarized by Stephanie Abraham." Harwood glanced at Abraham, who shook his head slightly, and Harwood quickly changed the subject and refused to listen to me. This act still haunts me to this day. How can a judge, who is appointed to protect the well-being of the children involved in his cases, knowingly allow false allegations of domestic violence to be made for negotiating purposes? Domestic violence is to be taken seriously, and WV State Code sets forth specific guidelines as to how cases are to be handled when domestic violence is accused. Harwood disregarded WV State Code because he knew the allegations were false, but he did nothing about it because of his relationship with Abraham. What bothers me more is that I have learned of several other recent cases involving Abraham & Ilderton where domestic violence has been falsely accused just for bartering purposes. In one such case, Abraham & Ilderton offered, off the record, to drop the DV charges if the other party agreed to take on a significant marital debt! This is ridiculous, but it is happening! I'm sure that even more laws are being broken and rights are being violated in other cases. Someone needs to come in and review these hearings and interview some of the parties involved! I'll be happy to share!

Do you have an e-mail where I can contact you? I'm just waiting for the right info to watch the house of cards fall. Your tapes may be just what I need. Are you willing to share these tapes so that Harwood, Abraham and Ilderton can get their due justice?

I witnessed first-hand how evil, manipulative, deceitful, and corrupt Brian Abraham truly is. He had absolutely no regard for the well-being of my child, and he trampled over my parental rights. He has no regard for the laws of West Virginia. He is able to get away with all of this because he has Jason Harwood, his long-time friend, coworker, and business partner, sitting on the bench.
Logan Family Court is a disgrace. I was lied to. I was bullied. I was threatened. My case was bifurcated by Harwood at the very first hearing within minutes, even though I had charged my ex with adultery. I had no idea what bifurcation even meant at the time, nor did I know that WV State Code states that bifurcations are not to be made! The bifurcation took away all rights that I had to prove fault. The bifurcation prejudiced me tremendously, because it left me with the marital home, the mortgage, all marital debt, which included credit cards that had been opened in my name and ran up by my wife without my knowledge. To the tune of $30,000. I was locked out of our marital business while my wife continued running it and profiting from it. Abraham delayed all hearings for nearly a year, and Harwood approved them all, which left me financially drained and without adequate funds for competent legal counsel.
I was threatened and bullied by Abraham outside of the courtroom. I was brought to tears on more than one occasion. I was talked badly about in court by Abraham. He LIED and stated on the record that I did not go to our child's medical appointments, and that I had not been actively involved in my child's life. I NEVER MISSED A *SINGLE* DOCTOR'S VISIT IN MY CHILD'S LIFE! NOT A ONE! AND I HAD SPENT EQUAL TIME WITH MY CHILD AS MY WIFE. I wanted nothing more than a 50/50 property split and 50/50 time with our child. I ended up getting what equated to about 25% of marital property (due to receiving 100% of ALL DEBT), and I got 40% time with my child.
However, 40% of time with your child is an extended shared parenting agreement in WV. This is what I *thought* I was agreeing to. Mr. Abraham drafted the final order and worded it as my ex having full custody and me having "generous visitation." This allowed a higher child support formula to be used, and it unfairly stripped me of many parental rights.
Additionally, even though discovery had been granted and I had provided full financial disclosure, my wife provided nothing. I was forced to subpoena her bank records at my expense of $1,200. They showed thousands each and every month in lavish spending, while I was forced to sell pre-marital possessions to pay the bills I was stuck with, such as credit cards illegally acquired in my name. The records showed thousands in steady, additional income each month from the marital business, but none of it was used in the child support calculations.
I refused to sign the order and went back before Harwood contesting the wording. Harwood literally laughed in my face and said I was wrong, when I explained that I had agreed to an extended shared parenting agreement. He said, "No. That is NOT what you agreed to." My mouth dropped in disbelief and my heart sank. I hadn't signed anything. I was there disagreeing. But Harwood denied me my rights. He said he was entering the "agreement" whether I agreed to it or not. As I sat there in disbelief looking at him, he looked at me and shrugged his shoulders and raised his hands tauntingly and said, "What?! What?!" I lowered my head and accepted the fact that life is unfair. My lifelong faith in God left my soul at that very moment.

Out of curiosity, I created an e-mail address and provided it. I had no idea how shocking and authoritative of an admission I would receive.

Saturday, July 9th
I check the e-mail address that I had created, and I discovered a message which read:
I, fortunately, have never personally experienced divorce and the nightmares of Family Court. However, I work for a local attorney (whose name I will divulge if you decide to share this information) and have done so for over 10 years. Long before this appeared on Topix we had discussed the conflict that is present anytime the firm of "babyham.and.dilderton " is before Harwood. My employer has also been approached by two other attorneys whose clients are suffering due to this conflict. However, when the opposing party is represented by Counsel, the lines aren't crossed to the degree that anything can be proven in a higher Court. There's a slight imbalance and a few bad rulings, but not enough to prove any favortism or bias one way or the other. The attorney that I work for is looking for the right information to bust this little ring up and equal the playing grounds for all parties and Counsel. At present, the system is not fair to our clients; and it's most definately not fair to pro se parties. My boss is just radical enough to shake things up. If you are still willing to share this information, just let me know. Look forward to hearing from you.
Saturday, July 9th
I then responded to the e-mail with:
I'm perfectly willing to share any and all information. Everything that I have posted publicly is true and I have solid evidence to support it.
To what degree have you or your employer witnessed favoritism or bias in Logan Family Court? Any specific examples?
I have two other friends who have similar recent experiences with Abraham and Harwood.
Just let me know how you would like to proceed.
Thanks.

As I said in my last e-mail, the favortism and bias is not so drastic when an experienced attorney represents the opposing party. That's why it's been so hard for us to do anything. As far as specifics, there's not a lot I can tell you anyway because of attorney/client privilege. As the office manager, that applies to me as well. However, I think you may have the info we need to shake things up. By the way, my name is Angie and I work for Attorney Mark Hobbs. Quite frankly, the publicity that Abraham and Ilderton can get what they want in Family Court is putting a damper on the domestic work for other attorneys. I have worked for Mark for 11 years and when his business prospers, I prosper. So, in turn , this is diminishing my bonuses and, therefore, affects me and my family. Now that you know the attorney, if you wish to proceed, give me a a call at work(304) 855-4878. Ask for me. There's usually a consultation fee but for this info I can waive that fee gladly. I work almost every Sunday (I'll be there tonight) from about 6:00 to midnight. I work crazy hours, so if I'm not in, leave a message with Jennifer and I will most definately call you back to schedule an appointment for Mark to review these tapes. As I said before, I've discussed this with him and he's ready to even the playing field for all involved. Just let me know. Hope to hear from you soon.
Conclusion
WOW. Here we have Angela Robinson, ADMITTING that Mark Hobbs and other Logan attorneys KNOW that Logan Family Court is UNFAIR!!!
My advice to Angela Robinson and Mark Hobbs: Since you have ADMITTED to knowing about injustices taking place in Logan Family Court, quoting "bias", "favoritism", and "bad rulings", perhaps you should DO YOUR JOB and FIGHT FOR YOUR CLIENTS. You could at least have the human decency to reveal to them that you are aware of these issues! They deserve to know! And if Mr. Hobbs would fight aggressively in Family Court to protect his clients, instead of cowering like a frightened child, there would be a larger demand for his services. Unfortunately, Abraham and Ilderton will continue to reign supreme until Mr. Hobbs and other area attorneys decide to put on their big-boy pants and stand up and fight for THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF THEIR CLIENTS!
If you have a case before Harwood involving Abraham or Ilderton, demand a recusal of the judge! If you have Mark Hobbs as your attorney, you should probably get a new attorney, since they have admitted to having a gross disadvantage in the courtroom. Do you really want to trust your life, children, and finances to a law firm that trash talks the judge and his friends on Topix?!?!
I'm blowing the whistle on all of this because I'm sick of good people suffering and having their lives destroyed due to all of this corruption. It needs to be known.

You could at least have the human decency to reveal to them that you are aware of these issues! They deserve to know! And if Mr. Hobbs would fight aggressively in Family Court to protect his clients, instead of cowering like a frightened child, there would be a larger demand for his services. Unfortunately, Abraham and Ilderton will continue to reign supreme until Mr. Hobbs and other area attorneys decide to put on their big-boy pants and stand up and fight for THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF THEIR CLIENTS!
If you have a case before Harwood involving Abraham or Ilderton, demand a recusal of the judge! If you have Mark Hobbs as your attorney, you should probably get a new attorney, since they have admitted to having a gross disadvantage in the courtroom. Do you really want to trust your life, children, and finances to a law firm that trash talks the judge and his friends on Topix?!?!
