Philip Berg is currently tried by the Disciplinary board of the Supreme Court ol
Pennsylvania. Exhibit
1
I1
18 io 20
The facts of the case show Berg to possess the lowest moral character and patten't
of moral turpitude.
27 22 23 24 25
According to the complaint by the disciplinary board (Exhibit
2) Berg lied to his

case
own client for over ayear, claiming that her case is active, while in reality the
was dismissed a year earlier due to his failure to file and opposition to motion tc dismiss. When the client found out that she was defrauded by Berg and filed
a
26
21 28
complaint with the disciplinary board, Berg used a convicted document forger and
a
thief Lisa Liberi (Liberi's record of 10 felony convictions
and theft in California
in Exhibit 4) to de facto accuse his client of perjury. Exhibit 3 represents a verification by Liberi, executed under the penalty of perjury and the laws o
Pennsylvania, where Liberi claimed, that she worked in Berg's office, trying
create an impression, that she was physically working

managing client frles.
At a time Liberi was nowhere near Berg's
office. In 2007 she was on bail awaiting trial in California on 27 counts of fo

and theft and from March 2008 she was on probation with the San Bernardi
10 11
1-2
county CA, not allowed to reside in
PA. In this case Berg showed
13
malice and moral turpitude, as he not only was derelict in his duties, failed hi client, lied to his client, he also defamed his client by accusing the client of
and using a career criminal to slander the client.
I4

Berg used the same modus operandi of fraud on the court in other cases and
case at hand, where the same criminal, Lisa Liberi, is his lead

plaintiff.

BERG WAS REPEATEDLY SANCTIONED BY FEDERAL JUDGES

Finding that a Pennsylvania lawyer had commiued a "laundry list of unethical
actions," a federal judge has imposed more than $10,000 in sanctions and ordered
the lawyer to complete six hours of ethics training. U.S. District Judge J. Curtis
23

21 ao
Joyner's l0-page opinion rn Holsworth v. Berg is packed with criticism of the conduct of attomey Philip Berg of Lafayette Hill, Pa. "Other attorneys should
Liberi v Taitz oppositlon to Pro
Hac
look to Mr. Berg's actions as a blueprint for what not to do when attempting to effectively and honorably perform the duties of the legal profession," Joyner wrote."This court has grown weary of Mr. Berg's continuous and brazen
3

5 6
'7
disrespect toward this court and his own clients.
Mr. Berg's actions
... are an
enormous waste of judicial time and resources that this court cannot, in good
conscience, allow to go unpunishedrtt Joyner wrote.
In the suit, Berg is accused of legal malpractice by former clients who claim his
failure to respond to an ERISA claim against them led to a default judgment.
10 11 12 13
But the sanctions against Berg stem from his decision to file a third-parfy
counterclaim of fraud against a pension fund that had sued his former clients, according to court papers. Joyner blasted Berg for filing the fraud claim,
I4
1tr
16
calling it an "irresponsible decision" because the claim was I'utterly barren of

any scintilla of legal principles." Carpenter Health's lawyers removed the case to
federal court and filed a motion to dismiss the claim.Joyner agreed, finding that Berg's fraud claim was "frivolous" and was motivated by an intent "to harass
I1
18
t9
20
27 22 23 24
.E
Carpenters Health and the Holsworths, as well as to delay and disrupt the
administration ofjustice." The claim was fatally flawed, Joyner foundo because
Berg had no standing to bring suit against Carpenters Health and had "failed to conduct even a minimally reasonable inquiry before filing his complaint."
Granting summary judgment in favor of Carpenters Health, Joyner said he found it Liberl v Taitz opposition to Pro Hac Vice
5
zo
21
2B
"wholly unnecessary" even to consider the facts of the ERISA case because it was
"abundantly clear" that Carpenters Health was entitled to a judgment as a matter
2 3
of
law. Joyner invited Carpenters Health to file a motion for Rule l1 sanctions. When
4
5 6
1
it did, Joyner found that Berg "continued his trend of unprofessional conduct
by, once again, failing to file a timely response." In a June 2 opiniono Joyner
found that Berg had violated Rule t1 by "filing a complaint completely d of any basis in fact or law, as would be apparent to any reasonable attorney
10 11
after the slightest inquiry." Berg's fraud claim, Joyner said, was "inadequately
pled, not grounded in fact, time-barred, and utterly irrelevant to the pending
I2
13
malpractice action against him." In his sanctions order, Joyner ordered Berg to
reimburse Carpenters Health the $10,668 in attorney fees and costs it incurred in defending the claim. He also ordered Berg to complete six credits of ethics courses

certified by the Pennsylvania Board of Continuing Legal Education, and

recommended that Berg be investigated by the PennsylvaniaBar Association's
L9
20
Committee on Legal Ethics and Professional Responsibility. On June 16, Berg

27 22
filed
motion for reconsideration urging that the sanctions imposed on him should
23
24
be forgiven due to "extenuating circumstances," including health problems, a week European business trip and financial difficulties. Joyner flatly rejected the
25 26
21 28
motion, saying 'rin no wfly, shape or form do the f extenuating circumstances'
proffered by Mr. Berg even begin to justify, excuse, or explain his

unprofessional and unethical course of conduct throughout this matler. These
transparent excuses are not only patently insufficient to meet the legal
standard for a motion for reconsideration, they are insulting to this court and
3

demeaning to the legal profession."
This behavior showed poor moral character. Yet again Berg brought bogus
charges against innocent individuals with the only purpose of harassment and
to cover his prior malpractice.
10 11
I2
13 74 15
In his 12.23.2010 opinion judge Robreno, presiding over this case, prior to it being
transferred to
CA,
has noted that there was no merit in accusations by Berg,
Liberi
and Ostella and found all 3 of them to be evasive on the stand and not believable as
t6
I1
18 19
witnesses. In the case at hand Berg showed the same modus operandi. As Berg outed, as someone, who has been working with a convicted forger and thief Lisa
Liberi, Berg concocted a frivolous law suit, in order to cover up and create an
impression, that Liberi is a resident of PA, actually working in his office. When
20
2L 22
Taitz demanded to see her PA drivers license for proof of diversity and Judge
Robreno demanded that Liberi file her identifliing papers with court, Berg and
23
24
25
1,6 2'1
Liberi
came up with a new story, claiming thatTaitz tried to
hire a hit man to kill
Liberi and that is the reason, why Liberi did not file a copy of her identifying
documents with court
as

judge Robreno noted. Liberi v Taitz opposition to Pro

Additionally, Berg and his co-plaintiff Ostella claimed thatTaitz allowed Ostella to forge signature of Taitzby cutting and pasting it from document to document

document. Unfortunately for Berg and Ostella, the signature, that they used to
paste, was one, thatTaitz signed in a hurry and
it looked somewhat different
from her usual signature. Taitz easily identified the signature in question. It was a
signature on document created in March of 2009. Exhibit
6.
Ostella (possibly
10 11 12 13 74 15
with the help of Liberi) cut and pasted it on a document,that was created 2 mon
earlier, in January of 2009. Berg was alerted that he is submitting to court clear forgery, however he continues submitting this forged document. Exhibit 7. This is an example of low moral character and moral turpitude.
