Letter to Attorney Robert Zepeda

Dear Mr. Robert Zepeda,

The purpose of this letter is to ask you to wrestle with “right” vs. “legal ethics”.  Let me confirm that you are an exceptional attorney.  I watched you take the case of an abusive, lying, client, William Benton Tower, and you went up against a board certified attorney, Hector Mendez (who charged 50% more than you did) who was armed and you destroyed him in court.  You out-worked, out-argued, and “out-lawyered”, my attorney.  The saddest part is that your courtroom victory also cost my two sons and me our lives together.  The question remains:  At what price is your victory?

On the day that a different attorney, Russell Amsberry, was also beaten by you, your son and lawyer, John Zepeda, sighed loudly with relief when Judge Tanner denied our motion when yet another attorney, Steven Benke, had failed to serve notice to you in a timely fashion regarding our Motion for a New Trial.  John knew, and knows, that if we could get back in front of even the uncaring Martha Tanner, your case would crumble.  You know that, too.

Now, Mr. Zepeda, I ask you to consider these points.  When did you know that Benton Tower, Kathy Tower, Adrian Lopez, and Manuel Hernandez, had determined to fabricate lies on the witness stand?  If Benton kept this from you during the entire trial, then I have two observations.  First, that is par for the course.  Benton is exceptional at lying, as you certainly know from his treatment of his current wife, Polli Tower, as well as from my book.  If you have doubts, simply look up the definition of pathological liar and apply that definition to what you know about Benton.  Second, he conned you, too.  As good as you are at what you do, that makes him better at what he does; lying.  The next question is, “At what point does client representation take a back seat to truth?”  If you were fooled, you now know the truth.  Why do I know that you know?  Because you have not filed suit against me for defamation with this website and my book, Up Against Evil.  I have named names, given dates, provided written documentation.  You watched your client and his THIRD wife file divorce papers against each other and you have a copy of the Protective Order against Benton accusing him of domestic violence.  If you don’t, you may print a copy from this site.  Simply click on Blog, above, and look under the heading, “Is There Soon To Be A THIRD Ex-wife Who Could No Longer Take The Abuse?”  My book detailed personal information that only Benton and Polli could know, unless someone else was told by one of them.  Two months after publication, Polli left feigning assault.  Oh yes, she swore under oath that it was true, didn’t she.  She knows that she had a piercing.  She knows the dates of her move-in with Benton, the days he “visited” me.  Did she put two and two together and say, “He IS a lying, cheating, manipulative, scumbag?”  Why else would she want to leave based upon the carefully choreographed performance at the February 2007 trial that they are “a loving family”?

Now, Mr. Zepeda, you have represented your client well.  It is time for you to leave a legacy of truth and honor to your son and his future legal practice.  It is time for you to go to Judge Martha Tanner and tell her, “Jennifer Williams told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and my client and his witnesses lied.”  You MAY not have known it during the trial.  I would love for a review board to research that.  But, sir, you do know it now.  You know that I don’t deserve to have my boys damaged for life by my lying, cheating, mean, abusive, ex-husband.  I don’t deserve to have my financial future ruined by an unjust judgment to pay your fees.  That has already occurred due to the wrongful and exorbitant child support that you orchestrated.  I don’t deserve to have my raping ex-husband to continue to prosper in my abuse while he continues to ruin my children.

Now we come to THE problem.  What does a righteous attorney do with "right" vs. "legal ethics"?  Does he continue to represent a repeat abuser?  Does he continue to try to collect an unrighteous judgment?  Or does he do that which he KNOWS is right in freeing a mother and her sons from tyranny?  The choice is truly yours. When it is time for you to leave this world, will your family, friends, colleagues, and even adversaries, say, “What an honorable man Robert Zepeda was!”?  Even more importantly, will the Judge that you face after you are gone say it?
