State of Maine v. Michael A. Doyle
Lawyers: Dyer Fee Arbitration February 22, 2002 Fee Arbitration RE: Ralph A. Dyer Attached is the copy of the complaint to the Ethics Panel which gives rise to this request for Fee Arbitration. If this panel requires a copy of all the exhibits cited in the Ethics Complaint and can not obtain them from the Board of Overseers please advise. It is my position that Dyer's perjury in his Deposition, his misrepresentation of the facts of the case to me, his inappropriate filing of the FOI suit against the State while I was under investigation, his characterization of the State's investigation as "a bogus misuse of administrative authority", his plotting with Peter DeTroy to keep the facts form me, and his overall misconduct that led to my wrongful indictment for a felony that I did not knowingly commit and committed at his direction; requires a full refund of all fees paid to Dyer from October 1, 1996 to May 31, 1997. It is my contention that all fees regardless for which case they may have been tied to are all the fruit of the same poisonous tree. Had Dyer been honest at any point I would not have deposited another $90,000 of my money, made the last eight sales which triggered the indictment, or exposed my family to the last five and one-half years of terror that I would be in prison for up to two years for a crime engineered by Dyer and DeTroy. It is absolutely ludicrous that I would ignore any warning from my business lawyer on a subject as serious as participating in a Ponzi scheme. Such a contention insults the intelligence of everyone exposed to it. For Dyer to enrich himself from fraudulent behavior, misconduct, and perjury is by definition wrong. Consequently, I request that the fees paid on the following dates and for the cited amounts are ordered to be refunded. Oct. 19, 1996, for $4293.42, Nov. 27, 1996, for $3435.34, Dec. 17, 1996, for $1670.27, Jan. 25, 1997, for $5209.72, and Apr. 28, 1997, for $1054.13 a total of $15,662.88
