Lawyer William Webb Greenfelder has been charged with breaking into a vacant mobile home and stealing electricity. The evidence is rather strong. First there was Greenfelder’s cellphone plugged into an outlet at the home and then there was orange extension chord that ran from the home to just short of Greenfelder’s mobile home.
The police say that the cord had been covered with leaves to conceal it but Greenfelder, 38, denied any role in the break in or the theft.
Greenfelder was suspended by the Florida bar for failing to pay bar fees and was then arrested in a domestic dispute. Police say that Greenfelder hit his wife with a candlestick, punched her, and refused to let her out of their bedroom. When police arrived, she showed them cocaine, pills and guns. However, Greenfelder was able to show that the search was illegal and suppress the evidence.
He has been suspended for only 91 days and told to undergo psychiatric and substance abuse evaluations. Those will have to wait until he is tried on these latest charges.

AY,
Get out! That must be one hell of a mobile home!
I’ve personally seen what addiction can do – My father (bless his departed soul) was a raging alcoholic, my brother a raging drug addict (heroin was his drug of choice). Both, from my perspective, had issues with depression. While my father was “old school” and didn’t believe in seeking outside help, my brother had many opportunities to get his shit together, but just couldn’t get past the addiction.
It’s just sad when someone who has the means and opportunity to do something about it cannot find the strength to do so.
The Colorado Office of Attorney Regulation has suspended lawyers for using cocaine. One of them was from Steamboat Springs and I recognized his name. So OARC was determined that it is A PUBLIC ISSUE when lawyers and judges use cocaine. They aren’t suspending lawyers for being fat.
The “dragons” have messed with me and they haven’t left me in an acceptable situation. My situation is unlikely to get worse short of a contract killing. I’ve been vulnerable to that for years and believe that a public presence helps protect me.
SL,
There is a Mobile Home on the Coast of California that recently sold for 2.5 million dollars…. the lot rent is 4,300 hundred a month….
If you’ll look at it from the perspective of addiction….and the end game is the addiction always wins….like gambling…..the House always wins…. UNLESS you do something affirmative…..mine did not work out too good either…..depression is a killer in its own right….regardless of education…… it makes you think different…
(Kay, see, I am not assigning Blame…..there is a difference….)
Kay,
What is the difference…Hmmmmm….maybe mame a lot….such as these are these peoples personal experiences….I do not see anyone of the trying to get other people in trouble or assigning blames….. I too have posted some personal stuff… but in my personal stuff….who did I try to screw over, except myself…. if you cannot tell the difference then you have more life to learn….This is just my opinion..take with it what you wish… But there (Here) is a lot of difference…it is called personal responsibility….this is all..
Kay, do not meddle in the affairs of dragons.
AY,
“Wait . . . lawyer? In a mobile home?!? Not only is the guy not much of a thief but he must not be much of a lawyer either”
Lol … I thought the same thing after reading the post … a small one-bedroom condo I could accept, but a mobile home? Hell, no!
OS What do you mean it is none of my business “what is going on”? I guess you mean “what is going on” in law in Colorado or going on with the Colorado AG’s office ….
You said that I wouldn’t be “blasted” unless I posted “long diatribes” but now you are “blasting” me. Why? Do you only what comments in this blog that are based on published news sources and not on personal experience? And there has been a lot posted here about various people’s experiences. For instance, Stanford Liberal was a paralegal, who I think said she was laid off, Swarthmore Mom I think said she was a teacher, and Otteray’s grandson, very unfortunately, died from cancer when he was only 17 and OS was very sad about that.
Kay, you are a babe in the woods and you are playing with fire. Drop it. It is not about you and at this point it is none of your business what is going on.
Do not tickle the tail of the dragon, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
Kay,
Are you making this ALL ABOUT YOU?
I thought that the AG has responsibility over lawyers and I did not have the DEA’S address or a phone book. Shouldn’t the AG have forwarded the info? Maybe I should send a Freedom of Information request to the AG and ask for records of what I mailed to them.
The other inmates also told me about making meth from ingredients they were buying at a rural agricultural store. They were driving 4 hours from Denver to go to a particular store. I later contacted the civil AG by email about this, with the approximate location of the store, since I had their email address because of litigation, and the lawyer that I contacted emailed back to me thanking me for the info and promised to send the info to the right people.
Kay: Sorry, but you do not have the first clue as to how to blow the whistle on someone. You went to the wrong person in the wrong agency. There are drug hotlines and the DEA. Do not go to local law enforcement to complain about local wrongdoing and expect results. 😀
OK AY, how’s this then:
I was in jail in Colorado without being charged with an offense and I discussed this with the other inmates. A woman told me that her father was a big lawyer with an office on 17th St in Denver. She said that her mother caught her father with a shoebox full of cocaine and that is why her mother divorced her father. She said that her mother said that her father was selling the cocaine to lawyers and judges. Since I am a whistleblower by personality, I immediately wrote to the Colorado attorney general’s office and told them all of that except the name of the woman and her father, which I had written down along with their addresses. I suggested to the Col AG that they should contact me and I would give them the names and addresses. But the Col AG never acknowledged my letter, even though I wrote to them twice and I am positive that I had the right address since they had written to me about something else and my two letters were not returned. I also offered the AG details about the lawyer’s divorce which they could have confirmed.
Kay,
Post anything you wish….but if you jack it with long diatribes….expect to be blasted… I am surprised you had to ask….
or cocaine and lawyers, is that OK to post about?
If the “thread” is now cocaine does that mean I can post about cocaine without people saying they hate me?
This guy is too familiar. Cocaine addiction takes everything away eventually.
Addition knows no ones name individually….but knows the name of everyone collectively…
There are just some things that defy the imagination.
On a more serious note, we may start seeing more of this as energy prices go through the roof. Everything from siphoning gas to a midnight supply line to the neighbor’s electricity. This will be more a problem where dwellings and buildings re in close proximity than for those of us in more rural settings with larger open spaces.
Wait . . . lawyer? In a mobile home?!? Not only is the guy not much of a thief but he must not be much of a lawyer either 🙂
And, no, I am not going for the next obvious joke there.
