Exposing Systemic Corruption: A Pro Se Litigant’s Battle Against Judicial Misconduct and Legal Exploitation
Corruption in the judicial system and unethical practices by influential law firms have a devastating impact on ordinary citizens seeking justice. My journey as a pro se litigant—fighting to protect my rights against a biased judiciary and a ruthless law firm—exposes the systemic rot that undermines our legal system. This is not just my story; it’s a wake-up call to everyone who believes in fairness, justice, and accountability.
The Players Involved
- The Judiciary:
- Judge Mara Zazzali-Hogan: Repeatedly ignored critical evidence and dismissed my motions without valid justification. She violated jurisdiction by presiding over matters outside her assigned division and failed to address my evidence of misconduct by the opposing party. She violated Judicial Canons 1, 2, and 3, and disregarded procedural rules regarding impartiality and fairness.
- Judge Marc Lemieux: Signed a Writ of Execution to levy my bank account while my appeal was pending, violating procedural fairness and due process. His actions breached Judicial Canon 3 and New Jersey Court Rules, demonstrating a lack of diligence and impartiality.
- Judge Chad C. Cagan: Brushed off my motions as "repetitive and duplicative," parroting the language of the plaintiff’s counsel, Becker & Poliakoff. His rulings ignored substantive merits and granted subpoenas to Becker & Poliakoff to access my bank records, MERS, and NJHMFA, enabling predatory tactics. These actions violated Judicial Canons 1 and 3, as well as statutory protections under the FDCPA.
- Judge Albert J. Rescinio: Denied my adjournment requests and displayed a pattern of judicial misconduct by failing to address critical procedural violations. He allowed misuse of subpoenas by Becker & Poliakoff, violating Judicial Canons 1 and 2, as well as New Jersey Court Rules. Additionally, he ignored compelling evidence, refused to provide written opinions to justify his rulings, and disregarded statutory protections under FDCPA and NJCFA. He further violated the binding Quitclaim Deed (QCD) executed on July 18, 2023, under N.J.S.A. 46:3-17, N.J.S.A. 46:5-6, and N.J.S.A. 46:10B-51, which transferred ownership as mandated by the Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA). Mischaracterizing the QCD as fraudulent, he authorized a second, unauthorized Quitclaim Deed on December 3, 2024, disregarding statutory protections. His failure to issue findings of fact or legal reasoning, as required by RULE 1:7-4(A), and fixation on superseded MSA clauses over Plaintiff's compliance further violated procedural and constitutional protections, showcasing systemic bias and impropriety.
- Judge Stacey D. Adams: Displayed procedural irregularities, approved motions without proper review, ignored evidence, and consistently favored Becker & Poliakoff. Her actions violated Judicial Canons 1, 2, and 3, undermining the integrity of the judiciary.
- Becker & Poliakoff, Catelyn A. Stark, and Harvey Fruchter:
- Becker & Poliakoff has epitomized legal exploitation, employing unethical tactics to overwhelm me with baseless motions and frivolous claims. Their strategy violates the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act (NJCFA) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
- Catelyn A. Stark, the plaintiff’s attorney, manipulated court procedures, submitted meritless filings, and acted in bad faith, violating RPC 3.1 (Meritorious Claims and Contentions) and RPC 8.4 (Misconduct). Alongside Harvey Fruchter, she engaged in procedural collusion, targeting private financial records with improper subpoenas in violation of N.J. ADMIN. CODE § 13:4-4.
- Harvey Fruchter:
- Acted as a key collaborator with Catelyn A. Stark in manipulating procedural tools and issuing improper subpoenas targeting private financial records, including MERS and NJHMFA, in violation of N.J. ADMIN. CODE § 13:4-4 and RULE 45. His actions demonstrated collusion and bad faith, further compounding procedural abuses.
- Douglas Widman:
- Forged my signature while acting as an arbitrator on December 13, 2022. This blatant disregard for legal procedures violates RPC 8.4 (Fraud, Deceit, and Misrepresentation), statutory protections, and Canon 2 of the Judicial Canons.
- Jodi Wilenzik:
- Prematurely disbursed escrow funds while the case was ongoing, violating due process and exacerbating financial harm. Her actions violated RPC 1.15 (Safekeeping Property) and statutory protections.

This is more than a personal fight; it is a fight for the integrity of our legal system. The systemic corruption I have encountered must be exposed and eradicated. This is not a call for support, but a declaration to expose the systemic corruption within the Superior Court of Freehold, Monmouth County Vicinage. These judges and legal professionals claim to serve the law and the justice system, yet their actions reveal a troubling reality—one where bias, procedural violations, and misconduct reign supreme in their own insulated world.
As Potter Stewart once said, “Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have the right to do and what is right to do.” This quote captures the crux of the issue: these individuals may believe their actions are within the boundaries of their authority, but they are far from just or ethical.
