facts:

I am currently involved in a divorce for which the show cause hearing occurred on 11/3/06.
 Prior to this hearing, the co-petitioners attorney David B. Herr, filed an affidavit
containing a pay stub which did not reflect the co-petitioners income at the time.  The
pay stub was at an introductory wage which was to last for a 4 week period which ended
10/9/06.  At the end of this 4 week period the co-petitoners income increased, but this
was not filed nor noted by the co-petioner's attorney at the show cause hearing on
11/3/06.  In addition, when Mr Herr filed the child support document after the show cause
hearing, he also used the introductory wage in the child support calculation instead of
the co-petioners actual wage.

The temporary order that resulted from this misrepresentation (among many others) has now
left my credit in peril.  The amount of support ordered by the court totaled $2,385.82. 
For the past 5 years of the marriage, we have been living from check to check, and my net
monthly income at the time of the order was roughly $2894.00 per month (2 checks per month
at approximately $1,447 per check).  Since I had been forced from my home by the
co-petitoner with threats of having me removed legally, I had already secured residence at
$759 per month (not counting utilities, etc).  The temporary order left me with roughly
$510 per month to live on, which the co-petitioner and her attorney were well aware of. 
Mr. Herr refused to cooperate towards obtaining any kind of final settlement (refused to
provide information requested by my lawyer, nor any kind of final settlement proposal
which was promised to be sent shortly after the show cause hearing) until my credit
resources were exhausted and I could no longer meet the terms of the temporary order as of March 2007.  His
response was to threaten me with filing a contempt order and followed this up by finally
providing my lawyer with some of the information requested (not all) and a two paragraph
e-mail consisting of a final settlement proposal which was represented as a "take it
or leave it" and then accused me of being the one giving his client a "take it or leave it" proposal.

I have a considerably larger complaint to make concerning this attorney and his client as
well as the proof to back it up.  The final settlement hearing for the divorce is
currently set for 6/22/07 at 1:30 PM at the Columbia County Courthouse in St. Helens.  I
will cooperate in any way necessary towards the investigation of illegal/un-ethical
practices on the part of Mr. Herrr and would greatly appreciate any assistance in seeing
that fair and just final settlement is obtained at the final settlement hearing on 6/22.

I will be contacting the Oregon Department of Justice as well as the Oregon State Attorney
General's Office concerning the practices of Mr. Herr and any effect it has had on the
Columbia County Circuit Court relating to my case or any others.
