As a self-represented party, I unfortunately had to interact with Darren Warner. He represented my former spouse, a member of the clergy, in my family law case. Darren Warner had repeatedly misrepresented my former spouse's income on his financial disclosures for child support purposes. (This is easily verifiable. The financial disclosures and documents that support income are public record.) It is profoundly disturbing that Darren Warner chose to suborn perjury when preparing my former spouse's Income and Expense Declarations. Engaging in a pattern of making materially false statements of facts on financial disclosures is an act of moral turpitude. It is a crime (FRAUD) to fail to disclose a material fact or to make any knowingly false material statement on a financial disclosure. Darren Warner took an ethical oath to practice law. Yet, he chose to breach his ethical duty of honesty, thereby violating Rules of Professional Conduct and Business and Professional Codes. (Rule 3.4 Fairness to Opposing Party; Rule 4.1 Truthfulness in Statements to Others; Rule 8.4 Engaging in Conduct Involving Dishonesty, Fraud, Deceit or Misrepresentation; Code 6106: Any Act Involving Misrepresentation; Code 6068: Duties of Attorney; Code 6128: Intent to Deceive a Party; etc.) It is troubling that Darren Warner has no compunction for deliberately understating my former spouse's income to reduce/eliminate child support.
