Charles Lincoln

Charles Edward Lincoln is a lawyer from Texas who was involved in the US Supreme Court Case Atwater v. Lago Vista (2001). He was Gail Atwater's lawyer during the time Atwater was granted summary judgment.
Unfortunately, since these cases, Lincoln has begun preying on victims of injustice. He has induced, through a straw man, the filing of fraudulent "notices of lien" on the real estate of people for amounts far in excess of any amounts owed, as a way to extort money from them. Failure to release such liens is a crime in Texas. See Refusal to Execute Release of Fraudulent Lien Claim, Securing Execution of Document by Deception, Criminal Conspiracy, Class A Misdemeanor, and Fraudulent Document or Instrument.
In 2000, Lincoln was convicted in Texas on a federal charge of falsely representing his Social Security number, a felony. As a result, he gave up his license to practice in the state. Originally charged with five felonies, the case resulted from Lincoln applying for a checking account using a false Social Security number.
In a second matter, he was disbarred from U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas after a federal judge requested an investigation of Lincoln because two of his clients had a falsified receipt. The receipt purported to be from the federal court clerk and represented funds the clients had given Lincoln. The clients believed Lincoln was depositing their money in an escrow account related to their case.
Two days before a hearing by the federal court’s admissions committee, Lincoln went to his clients’ home, instructed them not to tell the judge that he gave them the receipt, which he asked them not to produce, and he gave the clients a cashier’s check for $6,000. He did not appear at the hearing.
In a previous lawsuit, the same judge determined that Lincoln was involved in discovery abuse and filed duplicative motions. The judge issued sanctions and dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice.
On March 25, 2008, U.S. District Judge Walter S. Smith Jr. for the Waco Division of the Western District of Texas dismissed a suit filed by plaintiff Daniel Simon against officials from Williamson County. Simon was represented by disbarred attorney Lincoln.
Smith went on to order sanctions against Simon and Lincoln in the amount of $150,000 "because of their pattern of harassing litigation." In addition, Smith ordered that any lawsuits either filed or removed to any federal court in the Western District of Texas were "hereby dismissed with prejudice," and that Simon and Lincoln were prohibited from filing any further suits or pleadings in any federal court in Texas until the sanctions had been paid or get special permission from a federal judge.
As of 4/2014, Lincoln continues to flaunt the law by exercising his Unauthorized Practice Of Law. Mr. Lincoln has quite a following on fogbow.com where he is referred to as CEL3. His whereabouts, thefts, dine and dash activities, frivolous pleadings are clearly documented. Aviod this pathetic predator at all costs.
