About The Author
Hi, I’m Michael Ventrone and I have been a Project Manager in various companies and different IT areas for multiple decades, experienced with running multi-year / multi-million dollar projects. I’m also an award winning associate professor for the University of Phoenix for over a decade, my way of giving back more than the salary it pays. Teaching has always been a passion of mine, with a favorite line being “What can I do to Help?”
For my educational background, I graduated Summa Cum Laude in 1999 from Cabrini College with a BA in Organizational Management. I then proceeded on and graduated from Penn State in 2000 with an MS in Informational Sciences (fancy for IT) along with an MBA in 2001, specialized in New Ventures and Entrepreneurial Studies. For my IT Project Management career I have had my PMP (project management professional) from the Project Management Institute since 2003.
For the past decade I have ALSO been studying and practicing trial law as Pro-Se (acting as your own lawyer, 100% legal). TO BE CLEAR I am in no way trying to teach law or how to practice law without a license. This site is strictly my own experiences, successes, and failures throughout this endeavor. I did not begin this for passion (that is reserved for Project Management and the amazement of building a team and watching them come together to accomplish amazing things), but simply for lack of financials. After a second divorce, and against a law firm that had way more money (complements of the Hundt Family and Dohan) than myself, I began this educational adventure out of necessity.
Why Create This Website
I originally decided to create this site for two of my children, Hunter and Rebecca, in the hopes of raising enough money to hire a proper lawyer for them, and then hope to get their grandparents money back.
Having taught part time I chose to use those experiences and model this site as a Training Site for any individual to review my research into what I have labeled “The Multiple Wheels of Litigation”, where basically the lawyer or the law firm convinces the client to insert their money into, in essence, a Legal Firm’s Slot Machine (you know, you might win, you might not), for whatever reason (generally it’s we’ll get you even more money back, well maybe, judges are funny and all that). That is the expectation of a Slot Machine, correct?). The difference in this experience though is that it is Coop The Financial Rapist inserting the client’s money into the Slot Machine himself, knowing that he and his company will always make more money than the Slot Machine will ever pay out.
My hope now is that this site will prevent this from happening to as many people, and families, as possible.
