HOUSTON, TX : Finally, it has a name. Bullying. But this is not the playground. It is not Facebook. It is the courtroom. And too often, it is your own lawyer doing it to you for money.
This is fee extraction dressed up as representation. A system built to drain clients of everything while calling it justice. Most people do not see it at first. They trust the process. They trust the professional across the table. Then the bills rise. The pressure tightens. The exits disappear. By the time many clients understand what is happening, they feel trapped in a system they cannot afford to fight and cannot safely leave.
That is what happened to Caroline Allison. It is why she started this blog. It is why she launched the Stop Legal Bullying Movement. What began as personal harm is now public resistance. And what was once buried in private legal files is being named, exposed, and challenged in the open.
WATCH: Why the Silence Ends Today.
The movement is built around a blunt reality. Legal bullying is not a feeling. It is a pattern. It is the quiet use of pressure, cost, delay, procedure, and superior knowledge to wear people down. It is what happens when a non-attorney enters a system built by lawyers, for lawyers, and is expected to fight on terrain they do not understand. It often leaves no dramatic scene. Just financial damage, emotional exhaustion, and the sense that something was deeply wrong.
Advocates say the public also needs to face another uncomfortable truth: less than 5% of attorneys ever face investigation or discipline. That number helps explain why repeat behavior survives. It helps explain why victims often feel isolated. It helps explain why dismissed complaints vanish into a system that does little to warn the next target. If the profession keeps most of those records hidden, the public is left in the dark. That is exactly why this movement is building a public repository of dismissed bar complaints.
That is where the #StopLegalBullying movement is drawing a line. Organizers are announcing a public repository of dismissed bar complaints. The purpose is simple. If the State Bar refuses to keep, disclose, or make these records searchable in a way that protects the public, victims will build the transparency themselves. The repository is meant to expose patterns, identify repeat names, and give the public access to the warning signs the system too often erases. Victims are being urged to be bold, send their one-minute story videos, and help create the public record the system has refused to maintain.
Houston advocates point to what they call the Times Blvd Circle as the blueprint for why this repository is needed. They identify Nicholas Abaza, Jorge Borunda, and Seth Nichamoff as office-mates at 2444 Times Blvd who appear independent on paper while allegedly operating within a tighter network. Advocates also identify Michael Trevino as a close collaborator. The concern is not one bad day in one bad case. The concern is a repeat-player structure that shields itself through familiarity, proximity, and insider process.
Inside that alleged pattern, advocates describe Jorge Borunda as a primary handler who uses receiverships as pressure. They describe Seth Nichamoff as the "enforcer," tied to aggressive efforts including unsworn affidavits and attempts to reach supposedly protected assets such as homesteads and IRAs. They argue that when these tactics are combined with private relationships and repeat appearances, the public deserves a full record, not selective silence.
The warning extends beyond court orders and fee disputes. Advocates say the same pattern appears when disputes are diverted into allegedly rigged arbitration, where transparency drops and accountability gets harder to find. In the Allison matter, they point to Anne Ashby and argue that undisclosed conflicts helped create an insider forum where neutrality broke down. That is exactly why a dismissed complaint repository matters. A hidden complaint helps the next insider. A public complaint may help the next victim.
This movement is now asking victims to do more than quietly endure. It is asking them to act. Be bold and speak out now. Record a one-minute video stating your name and case. Submit your story. Send in your dismissed bar complaints so the movement can document the patterns the Bar will not preserve for public view. The goal is not gossip. The goal is evidence, connection, and reform.
The message is urgent because the stakes are public. Every hidden complaint protects a repeat offender. Every silenced victim protects a system that depends on imbalance. Every documented story makes the next abuse harder to hide. The Me Too #StopLegalBullying Movement is turning private pain into public accountability and asking victims, advocates, and reformers to help build a record that cannot be dismissed into obscurity.
The Stop Legal Bullying Toolkit: How This Website Works for You
This website is built to turn isolation into action. It gives victims a place to document abuse, connect patterns, and push for reform.
Story Wall: Share a one-minute video of your experience to help show state legislators the true scope of the problem. Personal testimony matters. Public patterns matter more.
Dismissed Bar Complaints Repository: Post your dismissed complaints so we can track repeat offenders of legal abuse. What the system buries, the public can still document.
Legislation and Advocacy: We are a collective voice for practical guardrails. Too often, so-called "good" lawyers profit from the chaos "bad" lawyers create. Self-policing has failed. We push for real accountability.
Education and Research: Stay connected for research on how to avoid lawyers from hell who drain clients through protracted fights. Learn safer lawyer shopping. Learn how to spot unscrupulous traps before the damage begins.
We also accept financial donations, volunteers, and information contributions from people who want to help expose abuse and support reform.
Silence protects the attorney, connection protects us. If you have lived this pattern, share your experience on the Story Wall, file through Bar Complaints, and support Robin’s Law and our legislative goals. Send your dismissed bar complaints. Send your one-minute video. Help build the repository the public should have had all along.
