Properties LLC; Case No. 06-004169 (21)

ATTORNEY MITCHELL J. BURNSTEIN PEGGED AS LEAD

CONMAN IN THE FLORIDA LAND GRAB RACKETEERING

SCANDAL

Pompano Beach, FL, July 24, 2010 Attorney Mitchell J. Burnstein has

quite the reputation in the Broward County Florida Courthouse for being a

manipulator of the legal system, with attorneys like Suzanne M. Driscoll of the

Shutts and Bowen Law Firm saying he has the judges in his back pocket and

numerous law firms declining to be involved with him on cases reportedly because

of his deceptive and dirty tactics. Now, with the further examination of the

Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency land grab fraud scandal,

disrepute may be the least of his worries. Add the retirement of his mother, the

Broward County Court Judge Miette K. Burnstein, now a mediator / arbitrator for

hire with Mediar Inc. as is Mitchs father Myron H. Burnstein, and the oncecajoling golden boy of Florida's powerful legal family may just have to fend for

himself.

Mitchell J. Burnstein is a private attorney of the Weiss, Serota, Helfman,

Pastoriza, Cole & Boniske Florida firm retained to represent the so-called

Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency in its land grab cases with

the City Attorney Gordon B. Linn. The decade-long land grab scheme involves the

Community Redevelopment Agencys seizures of private properties from citizens,

churches, organizations and businesses without any legal right to do so with the

aims of flipping properties over to big developers. Mitchell J. Burnstein wasnamed counsel on a majority of these grabs, and now eyes are on him as to his

knowledge of the illegal status of the CRA and his and his firms involvement in

its subsequent unconstitutional and illegal takings of private property.

Agency money even though the CRA has taken the owners property. Mitchell

Burnstein has gone back on his good faith deposit many times in court

proceedings, saying he overpaid so that the property owner will face the

possibility of a judgment against them at trial. Intimidation, bait and switch, lies,

diversions, delays and blockades are reported to be among the many tricks to keep

property owners reeling and unable to defend themselves in the land grab scandal.

Compounding the issue is that while at least one land grab case is still open,

most of the cases were adjudicated under the fraud, and the properties taken,

destroyed, and some built over. With no going back, class action seems to be hot

on the minds of many, and could result in billions of dollars of claims. Perhaps the

old adage of crime does not pay will prove true as the land stolen from

Floridians for pennies on the dollar may now become very costly, in more ways

than one.

At the very least Mitchell J. Burnsteins role as attorney and Weiss Serota

Helfmans government contract may well be in jeopardy, and further investigation

and delineation of the land grab crimes may lead to more arrests. One thing is

certain however, the City of Pompano Beachs history of corruption has been

uncovered and victims are demanding long overdue justice.
