Complaint Review: Law Offices Of Michael Kade - Brentwood CA

Law Offices Of Michael Kade My name is Antonio Nozar, also known as Ali Nozar, and I’m the defendant who hired the attorney Michael Kade as my lawyer.  Brentwood CA

My name is Antonio Nozar, also known as Ali Nozar, and I’m the defendant who hired the attorney Michael Kade as my lawyer.

I was the owner of Smooth Skin Laser Clinic since 2004.  I have built a clientele of more than 10,000.  90% of my clientele is female between the ages of 21 and 40 years old.  I have 5 stars on my Yelp and Google reviews.

The reason I’m writing this complaint is because of the professional ethical misconduct of the attorney Michael Kade.  Unfortunately, I hired Michael Kade to represent me in a false sexual battery accusation case that was filed by two people - Rachelle Ratcliffe and Irina Velitskaya.

Rachelle Ratcliffe falsely pressed charges against me in 08-06-2015 for sexual battery, because one of my competitors offered her money to help them put me out of business. (My office camera recording will prove my innocence)

Irina Velitskaya falsely pressed charges against me on 08-12-2016 for sexual assault that allegedly occurred on 07/12/2016.  She made this accusation with the intent of obtaining legal citizenship in this country by getting her U. Visa and her Immigration Benefits from ICE without going through legitimate legal channels. (My office camera recording will prove my innocence)

The security cameras recorded everything from beginning to end and it will prove my innocence.

On 08-19-2016 I was arrested by the Glendale police at 6:30 am.  They transferred me, handcuffed, to the Glendale jail.  The Glendale PD had a warrant to search my apartment.  According to my accuser, the crime allegedly happened in my office.  My office was available to be searched, but neither Glendale Police Officer Detective Suzanne O’Brien nor DA Heba Matta ever bothered to come and search the office.  Video surveillance was available for observation, but again, no one from the Glendale PD or the DA’s office bothered to investigate any actual evidence available to them.

I was released from jail in the Glendale PD on the same day.  I started looking for lawyer.  I contacted Attorney Michael Kade and made an appointment for a consultation with him.

Upon arriving at Michael Kade’s office around August 20-2016 for my consultation, I was required to relinquish my cell phone.  Michael Kade did this so he could be sure I couldn’t record the conversation.  He started to scare me by telling me I’m going to jail and I’m very lucky to meet him because he is the only lawyer that has his experience because he was a cop for 20 years and he has experience with these types of scammers.    

After he watched my office security camera video recording of the accusers, he said that with this evidence and his friendship with Judge Beverly Bourne and DA Heba Matta the case would be thrown away.  He said he believed in my innocence.

On Aug 26 – 2016, I hired Michael Kade as my defense attorney.  I gave him a $20,000 retainer (cash advance), the video recording, evidence, and files on both women, including their age, first and last name, date of birth, and address. I also gave him police reports that verify the ages of both women.  After Michael Kade received the $20,000 retainer, he continued to scare me.  He said I would end up in jail because my video is now worthless.  He said DA Heba Matta is going to put me in jail.  

Michael Kade played an ugly mental game, intending to scare the hell out of me.  Instead of working on my case, he waited for DA Heba Matta to throw him a deal.

Exactly 6 months after I hired Michael Kade to defend me, he called me and started yelling and screaming at me because he was told by DA Heba Matta that the girls were teenagers.  He called me a pedophile. The women were 30 and 33 years old at the time of the accusations. 

If either the DA Heba Matta or my lawyer Michael Kade had looked at the information given to them, they would have known that the women accusing me are well over the age of 30.

Apparently, DA Heba Matta and my lawyer Michael Kade never bothered to read the files, police reports or study my case.  If either of them had looked into my case in detail, they would have realized that there is absolutely no evidence to support the accusations levelled against me.  I had provided them with evidence in the form of videos from my security cameras that proved my innocence.  The video recording shows both women were lying about sexual battery, but Michael Kade failed to defend my innocence.

On March 17, 2017, DA Heba Matta gave the deal to my attorney Michael Kade to accept the charges of sexual battery by registering as a sex offender for life.  My attorney Michael Kade was in agreement with the DA Heba Matta that this is a very fair deal and if I don’t accept the deal, I will go to jail for 5 years.  (I have the Email as my Proof).

He repeated these statements to me continuously.  These statements were used to impose fear.  He was assuming that as soon as he got the deal I would accept it without him needing to put any effort into my defense.

After I refused to accept the deal, attorney Michael P. Kade showed the end of the video for the first time to DA Heba Matta on April 27, 2017. DA Heba Matta told Michael Kade that she had never watched that video before April 27, 2017. (I have the Email as my Proof).

The video shows actual proof of my innocence.  I presented this proof with all the other evidence to Michael Kade on August 26, 2016 and paid him $20,000 to represent me.

I have all the emails between attorney Michael P. Kade and DA Heba Matta as my proof.

When I didn’t accept DA Heba Matta’s deal, Michael Kade started yet another mind game.

On June 24, 2017, Michael Kade filed the motion to be relieved of his duties as counsel for my case because I didn’t accept DA Heba Matta’s deal.  He stated in his declaration that I refused to follow his advice and that there was a total breakdown of communication.

I kept calling Michael Kade to ask him what this declaration is about.  He would hang up the phone and then text me that he will only talk to me in his office.

Around the beginning of July 2017 I made an appointment with Michael Kade to meet in his office to find out why he was serving me the court document.

As I arrived in Michael Kade’s office, a week before the trail regarding his motion, Michael Kade started threatening me.  He said if I didn’t submit to his demands, he will make me look so bad that no other lawyer will pick up my case.  He said he would lose the case.  He said he would make sure that I end up in jail.

Michael Kade was ordering me to commit perjury by lying to Judge Beverly Bourne about releasing Michael Kade as my lawyer and ask for a  public defender.  These statements were made by me under duress because I was afraid Michael Kade would purposely throw my case and have me thrown in jail – as he said he would do if I didn’t submit to his demands.

I have proof of the correspondence between Michael Kade and me as Text messages and Emails that prove I was listening to him and following his advice even when he forced me to lie to Judge Beverly Bourne.

In trial, on October 3, 2017, I Antonio Nozar did lie to Judge Beverly Bourne in the Glendale Court of law at 9.30 am, stating that I wanted to fire my attorney Michael Kade.   I asked for a public defender.  I lied because my Attorney Michael Kade told me if I don’t do it he will make sure I go to jail for 5 years for a crime I didn’t commit.  I didn’t want to fire my attorney Michael Kade and I have proof of our correspondence. 

The reason I’m making this complaint is because Michael Kade has violated the Rules of Professional conduct, according to the State Bar of California.  Michael Kade didn’t demonstrate an ability to conduct a professional relationship with me as a client. 

According to Rule 3-210, attorney ordered me to commit perjury by lying to Judge Beverly Bourne about releasing Michael Kade as my lawyer.
