An alleged abuse victim in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tucson has filed a complaint with the State Bar of Arizona against an attorney representing other alleged abuse victims.
In the complaint, Brian Francis O'Connor alleges that attorney Ivan Abrams has "acted in an unprofessional and unethical manner." Abrams has been involved in a RICO case that was featured in the following article: http://www.cruxnews.com/rose/rose-23july04.html.
The following is Abrams' "unofficial" response to O'Connor (slightly edited):
"Proving that his professions of peace and love and a time for good will are hollow, alleged victim of priestly abuse Brian Francis O'Connor filed a complaint against me (Ivan Abrams) with the State Bar of Arizona, alleging that I acted in an unprofessional and unethical manner when I filed one of my many objections to the actions of the Debtor, certain counsel, and the Tort Claimants' Committee in the almost-concluded Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tucson.
