Logue Michael E Atty

This «lawyer» will not be able to practice his ultra crooked ways in California anymore. He was DISBARRED as of 10÷23÷15. One of his last low blows was to swindle my ailing mother out of a settlement by forging her name. Good riddance!

In October 2011 we hired Michael Logue to represent our 85 year old mother who was left unattended by a careless physical therapist and our mother fell in the physical therapist’s parking lot and suffered a major hip fracture.
My mother was rehabilitating at The Forum in Cupertino. This is where we met with Mr. Logue. Mr. Louge appeared to be a meek and empathetic man. My mother liked him initially as well as both my brother and myself. Mr. Logue told us that he and his wife were caring for his wife’s 93 year old mother who lived with them. So we thought that Mr. Logue had a heart and really cared about seeking justice for our own mother.
One of the first areas of concern was that Mr. Logue never gave us a copy of our contract that was signed by my mother and my brother when we first initiated his services. Mr. Logue never kept us briefed on the progress of the case either. My brother would text and leave voice messages and then Mr. Logue would finally reciprocate and tell us stories regarding the case’s progress that turned out to be bogus.
To make a long story short, Mr. Logue didn’t file our case within the statute of limitations. He then issued a demand for an immoral about of money $ 850,000 to The Hartford that only handled general liability. This of course was rejected. Mr. Logue said that The Hartford sided with the owner of Bodies in Motion, the physical therapapy clinic who injured our mother, saying that there was no fault on their behalf. Of course because The Hartford ONLY handled the general liability not professional liability.
Mr. Logue then led us astray by saying that we’d have to go to court on this issue and that he’d brief us on what to expect in the courtroom. He never did. Then he lied and said that it would go into arbitration. That never happened either.
In May of 2013 our mother passed away as she never recovered from her injuries. Mr. Logue met with us and said that the case was now null and void since my mother passed away.
My brother and I received a notice from Medicare that a settlement had been won in the amount of $ 10,000 and that Medicare wanted to be compensated in the amount of $ 6,400. My brother contacted Mr. Logue immediately and Mr. Logue said that, «He’ll take care of the matter.» Mr. Logue never let us know about this $ 10,000 settlement. We kept calling Mr. Logue asking about the dispersement of the check funds. According to our contract Mr. Logue was allowed 25% of the net amount of any out of court award. He kept 100% of the net instead.
By now we were extremely skeptical of Mr. Logue. My brother contacted The Hartford and we were told that a check in the amount of $ 10,000 issued by The Hartford was issued. The check would’ve required our mother’s signature. Mr. Logue forged our mother’s name on the check! We received a copy of the forged check by The Hartford in a PDF file. Mr. Logue paid off Medicare and then he kept the rest of the amount of $ 2,600 of money that was to be awarded to our mother.
We went to The Los Altos Police and they were exemplary in helping us. A report was taken and a copy was sent to the DA’s office. Mr. Logue lied to the police and said he was «given verbal permission to sign my mother’s name on the check!»
We eventually issued a complaint with the California State Bar. They were superior in investigating the matter. Michael Eugene Logue was found guilty on five charges on our behalf (forgery, misrepresentation, misapropriation of funds and failure to file within the statute) and he was found guilty on eight other charges from another complaintant who was misrepresented by Mr. Logue!
Mr. Logue is inelligible to practice law as of December 12, 2014.
******Update********
Last month I contacted the District Attorney’s office of Santa Clara County and I was told by an officer of the District Attorney that Michael Eugene Logue had been arrested in August 2013, being charged with forgery and theft, and taken to a Palo Alto jail for booking.
The officer that I spoke with at the District Attorney’s office said that the case involving Michael Eugene Logue is still open with the District Attorney, since this crime that Logue committed is a case of elder abuse against an 85 year old woman.
As of April 2015 a California Bar Court Judge has requested the disbarrment of Michael Eugene Logue and his name to be stricken from the roll of attorneys.
All of the information regarding Michael Eugene Logue’s improprieties can be accessed on the California State Bar website.
This has all been a very lengthy, time consuming, emotional and laborious process for me and my brother. But making sure that Michael Eugene Logue is punished in every possible avenue for his despicable behavior makes it all worthwhile.
****Update****
Michael Eugene Logue has been disbarred as of October 23, 2015.
Justice has been served!

I met Mr. Logue in 2006 after an accident. This wasn’t a difficult case. The other driver admitted he was looking at A nice car that drove by and rear ended me. After the initial meeting I never saw or spoke with my attourney again. I called and called for months. I only could speak with the very rude secretary. Eventually I settled early to be done with it. I still have pain to this day. When I signed with Mr. Logue he talked about a 14k settlement in the end I was told all I could get was $ 1500. It was a 7k settlement the rest went to my insurance and Mr. Logue or that is what was supposed to happen. Now here we are Almost Feb of 2014 a and it get a call from HealthCare Services. Turns out Mr. Logue never payed the insurance. He kept all the money due to the insurance. Wow. I can’t believe this. Healthcare Services say they have been calling and calling and sending letters but nothing. What a surprise. If you expect honesty from your attourney than this is not the place for you.
