<p>In Good Shepherd Media&#8217;s Eyes Paul Toepel is as Low and Scummy as they come, like cum! We would NEVER WANT HIM LIVING AROUND US or OUR FAMILY or have such a LOW BALL HUMAN as a FRIEND. In our personal opinion he should be told by others including his neighbors what they think of a man like this.</p>
<p>Mind  you Paul Toepel, will SPIN IT, SPIN IT HE WILL, HIS WAY! and he will say HE DID NOTHING WRONG and ITS EVERYONE ELSE&#8217;s FAULT. Very Narcistic and sociopathic in our opinion but thats how charming manipulators work.</p>

<p><strong>Re: Cease Harassment of Third Parties; Direct Communications to Publisher; Clarification of Domain Ownership </strong></p>
<p>Dear Mr. Toepel:</p>
<p>Please take notice that<strong> Good News Media LLC (“GNM”)</strong> has been informed that you have sued and/or threatened individuals over content that GNM published in 2021 concerning you. Those individuals are not the publisher, editor, or owner of the content at issue. We further understand your actions have caused substantial burden—including defense expenditures reported to exceed $39,000—to elderly, uninvolved third parties, and that you later dismissed claims when it became evident they lacked merit. If you contend otherwise, please provide documentation within ten (10) days.</p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="color: #339966;"><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-21630 alignright" src="https://goodshepherdmedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Paul-Toepel-lying-attorney-2-1024x683.png" alt="" width="538" height="359" srcset="https://goodshepherdmedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Paul-Toepel-lying-attorney-2-1024x683.png 1024w, https://goodshepherdmedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Paul-Toepel-lying-attorney-2-400x267.png 400w, https://goodshepherdmedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Paul-Toepel-lying-attorney-2-768x512.png 768w, https://goodshepherdmedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Paul-Toepel-lying-attorney-2.png 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 538px) 100vw, 538px" /></span></span></h3>
<p>To prevent further harm and to preserve everyone’s rights:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Cease harassing or contacting non-publisher third parties</strong> about GNM’s content.</li>
<li><strong>Direct all complaints, claims, or legal correspondence regarding the 2021 content to GNM only </strong>not to private individuals.</li>
<li><strong>Withdraw and dismiss with prejudice any pending claims</strong> against non-publisher individuals relating to GNM’s content, and confirm in writing within ten (10) days.</li>
<li><strong>Preserve all evidence</strong> relevant to these matters, including communications with third parties, consistent with your obligations as an officer of the court.</li>
<li><strong>Cease asserting or implying “cybersquatting”</strong> with respect to <em><a href="http://PAULTOEPEL.COM" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://PAULTOEPEL.COM&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1756221912486000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2bmt1dEhcpC1BEtKg_LfyX">PAULTOEPEL.COM</a></em>.

</ol>
<h3>Legal Framework (for clarity, not argument on the merits)</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Protected Speech:</strong> The U.S. and California Constitutions protect noncommercial commentary on matters of public concern. Efforts to burden such speech via meritless litigation may be subject to <b>California’s anti-SLAPP statute (CCP § 425.16), including mandatory fee-shifting.</b></li>
<li><strong>Domains Used for Criticism:</strong> Allegations of “cybersquatting” require, among other things, a <strong>bad-faith intent to profit</strong> (15 U.S.C. §1125(d)). <b>Noncommercial criticism sites and gripe domains—used solely to comment on a public figure’s conduct—do not satisfy this standard and are protected uses.</b></li>
<li><strong>Professional Duties:</strong> <span style="color: #ff0000;"><b><i>As a California attorney, you remain bound by duties of candor and fairness toward the tribunal and non-parties. Directing litigation pressure at uninvolved elderly individuals over content they did not publish risks sanctions and fee exposure.</i></b></span></li>
</ul>

<h3>What We Expect</h3>
<p>Within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this letter, please<br />
(a) confirm in writing that you will direct all further communications regarding the 2021 Good News Media LLC content to GNM only;<br />
(b) confirm that you have ceased contacting non-publisher third parties; and<br />

<p>Absent timely confirmation, GNM will consider all appropriate remedies, including fee recovery and sanctions where available if you choose to seek legal action against us.</p>
<p>We will get our message out to the public for peaceful public assembly as this is a matter of great public concern to parents who may be involved in family law or have a sex offender in their home against court orders or have elderly that may get sued by doing nothing, like you help your client Marcia commit. Our opinion is that this is a violation of <b>California Penal Code 31 PC</b> is the California statute that addresses aiding and abetting. This is defined as encouraging, facilitating or aiding in the commission of a criminal act.</p>
<p>Nothing herein waives any rights, claims, or defenses, all of which are expressly reserved.</p>

<h2>Paul Toepel Attorney Reviews</h2>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">Senior Counsel in a Law Firm under 2 years of working there yet still has a poorly rated law firm he owns on the side called</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">&#8220;Law Office of Paul D. Toepel Jr.&#8221;</span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">google it</span></h3>
<p>this post is 1 year old and he was  already senior counsel then, he had not worked there that long he was taken on board in our opinion 2024 where we can find the first public post, prior to 2024 we cannot find evidence to support any other theory.</p>
<p>for sure though they at EPGR lawyers gave this guy a crown while Paul himself has a poorly rated law firm is kinda weird, senior counsel is not for having grey hair, its for those that have worked for a firm for an extended period of time and have contributed greatly.</p>
<p>in our opinion the timeline is very short and his poorly rated law firm is a disaster in our opinion.</p>

<p data-start="32" data-end="703">A <em data-start="34" data-end="48">troublemaker</em> is someone who deliberately causes problems or difficulties for others <span class="" data-state="closed"><span class="ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]" data-testid="webpage-citation-pill"><a class="flex h-4.5 overflow-hidden rounded-xl px-2 text-[9px] font-medium text-token-text-secondary! bg-[#F4F4F4]! dark:bg-[#303030]! transition-colors duration-150 ease-in-out" href="https://www.dictionary.com/browse/troublemaker#:~:text=1,as%20a%20matter%20of%20malice" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="relative start-0 bottom-0 flex h-full w-full items-center"><span class="flex h-4 w-full items-center justify-between overflow-hidden"><span class="max-w-full grow truncate overflow-hidden text-center">dictionary.com</span></span></span></a></span></span>. In this context it refers to an unscrupulous individual (for example, a lawyer) who knowingly lies, deceives, or manipulates people for personal gain. Such a person might file baseless lawsuits to harass innocent parties (like suing elderly people to pressure their family), then drop the case once their goal is met – leaving the victims with needless stress and expense. In short, this “troublemaker” is a dishonest, coldhearted instigator who stirs up conflict and distress through deception and malice<span class="" data-state="closed"><span class="ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]" data-testid="webpage-citation-pill"><a class="flex h-4.5 overflow-hidden rounded-xl px-2 text-[9px] font-medium text-token-text-secondary! bg-[#F4F4F4]! dark:bg-[#303030]! transition-colors duration-150 ease-in-out" href="https://www.dictionary.com/browse/troublemaker#:~:text=1,as%20a%20matter%20of%20malice" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="relative start-0 bottom-0 flex h-full w-full items-center"><span class="flex h-4 w-full items-center justify-between overflow-hidden"><span class="max-w-full grow truncate overflow-hidden text-center">dictionary.com</span></span></span></a></span></span>.</p>

Under Article I, Section 2 of the California Constitution, even privately‑owned spaces open to the public (like shopping centers or plazas) can be treated as “public forums” for free speech. In <strong><em data-start="1632" data-end="1669">Robins v. Pruneyard Shopping Center</em> (Cal. 1979)</strong>, the California Supreme Court held that distributing petitions and soliciting signatures at a mall – activities analogous to leaflet distribution – is constitutionally protected speech.

California courts have cited <em data-start="2106" data-end="2117">Pruneyard</em> to underscore that visitors to generally‑accessible private property can engage in political speech if it is peaceful and not disruptive of the owner’s business.</p>
<p data-start="2283" data-end="2782">Likewise, the California courts recognize a heavy presumption against any injunction limiting peaceful leafleting or protest. In<strong> <em data-start="2413" data-end="2450">Paradise Hills Associates v. Procel</em> (Cal. Ct. App. 1991)</strong>, neighbors had distributed leaflets accusing a homebuilder of “panic peddling” and posted large signs on model homes.

<p data-start="3189" data-end="3673">The <em data-start="3193" data-end="3209">Paradise Hills</em> court further stressed that any prior restraint on such expression “comes to [the Court] with a ‘heavy presumption’ against its constitutional validity,” and no authority “support[s] the claim that the interest of an individual in being free from public criticism” justifies an injunction <span class="" data-state="closed"><span class="ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]" data-testid="webpage-citation-pill"><a class="flex h-4.5 overflow-hidden rounded-xl px-2 text-[9px] font-medium text-token-text-secondary! bg-[#F4F4F4]! dark:bg-[#303030]! transition-colors duration-150 ease-in-out" href="https://law.justia.com/cases/california/court-of-appeal/3d/235/1528.html#:~:text=,6%5D%2C%20italics%20added" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="relative start-0 bottom-0 flex h-full w-full items-center"><span class="flex h-4 w-full items-center justify-between overflow-hidden"><span class="max-w-full grow truncate overflow-hidden text-center">law.justia.com</span></span></span></a></span></span>. In other words, California case law squarely protects non‑threatening leaflets aimed at informing neighbors about alleged wrongdoing.</p>
<p data-start="3675" data-end="4201">For additional context, California legal guides note that even door‑to‑door leafleting in residential areas is generally allowed without special permits. For example, an ACLU handbook explains that “[n]o permits or advance notice can constitutionally be required for…leafleting on public sidewalks, or even door‑to‑door” <span class="" data-state="closed"><span class="ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]" data-testid="webpage-citation-pill"><a class="flex h-4.5 overflow-hidden rounded-xl px-2 text-[9px] font-medium text-token-text-secondary! bg-[#F4F4F4]! dark:bg-[#303030]! transition-colors duration-150 ease-in-out" href="https://www.aclunc.org/docs/Freedom_of_press_and_speech/Demonstrators_and_the_Constitution.pdf#:~:text=B,or%20onlookers%20or%20otherwise%20unreasonably" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="relative start-0 bottom-0 flex h-full w-full items-center"><span class="flex h-4 w-full items-center justify-between overflow-hidden"><span class="max-w-full grow truncate overflow-hidden text-center">aclunc.org</span></span></span></a></span></span>.

<h2 data-start="6073" data-end="6108">Other Fee-Shifting Authorities</h2>
<p data-start="6109" data-end="6850">Beyond these, California courts have recognized few other fee-shifting mechanisms. For example,<strong> Code Civ. Proc. §128.5 sanctions truly frivolous pleadings</strong> (after a safe-harbor notice) with attorney fee awards. And certain statutes (e.g. in defamation or constitutional cases) contain fee provisions. But absent such statutes, California follows the American Rule. (In federal court, the analogous principle is confirmed by <em data-start="6536" data-end="6545">Alyeska </em><span class="" data-state="closed"><span class="ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]" data-testid="webpage-citation-pill"><a class="flex h-4.5 overflow-hidden rounded-xl px-2 text-[9px] font-medium text-token-text-secondary! bg-[#F4F4F4]! dark:bg-[#303030]! transition-colors duration-150 ease-in-out" href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/421/240/#:~:text=Under%20the%20,271" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="relative start-0 bottom-0 flex h-full w-full items-center"><span class="flex h-4 w-full items-center justify-between overflow-hidden"><span class="max-w-full grow truncate overflow-hidden text-center">supreme.justia.com</span></span></span></a></span></span>, and fees can only be shifted under rules like <strong>Fed. R. Civ. P. 11 or 28 U.S.C. §1927 upon a finding of bad faith or frivolous multiplication of proceedings.</strong>) None of these general rules, however, override the Anti-SLAPP statute or the malicious prosecution remedy.</p>
<p data-start="6852" data-end="7580"><strong data-start="6852" data-end="6867">Conclusion:</strong> California law provides clear support for shifting fees to a meritless plaintiff.

</strong><strong><em>Added by Stats. 1939, Ch. 34.<br />
</em></strong><strong><em>Cal.

State Bar of California</em> (1942) 21 Cal.2d 285.</li>
<li><strong><em>Cal. Bus. &amp; Prof. Code § 6128</em></strong><strong> I HAVE ATTACHED ALL HIS LIES<br />
<em>Every attorney is guilty of a <span style="color: #ff0000;">misdemeanor</span> who either: Is guilty of any deceit or collusion, or consents to any deceit or collusion, with intent to deceive the court or any party.</em></strong> <strong>This <span style="color: #0000ff;">actually imposes</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">misdemeanor</span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">criminal liability</span> on a <span style="color: #ff0000;">lawyer</span> who <span style="color: #0000ff;">engages</span> in <span style="color: #ff0000;">or consents</span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">to any deceit or collusion</span></strong> “with intent to deceive the court or any party.” (BP 6128(a)) <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Punishment for violating this section is up to a six-month jail</span></strong> sentence or a fine of up to $2,500 or both <em> (Emphasis added.)</em>.<br />

<ul>
<li>Shall employ, for the purpose of maintaining the causes confided to the member, such means only as are consistent with truth; told the court Nigel has moved out even though I had emailed him surveillance and I presented to the court evidence contrary to his statements he denied my claims and mislead the court and bold face lied to them</li>
<li>Shall not seek to mislead the judge, judicial officer or jury by an artifice or false statement of fact or law; told through suggestion to the judge by not returning my son who fears moms home that I am kidnapping my son, even though I have police incident reports I show up to each exchange and the child refuses to go even after speaking with the sheriff and he said I put a gun to my sons head</li>
<li><strong>Shall not intentionally misquote to a tribunal</strong> the language of a book, statute<strong> or decision</strong>; he did this by telling the court flat out lies on several instances including misleading by misquoting the tribunal decision previously  the <strong>CONTENTS OF THE JUDGES ORDER TO PROTECT MY SON. </strong>Mr. Toepel also told the courts this with vexatious litigant told the court I fit the criteria which is <strong>lying and misleading the Tribunal</strong>. Mr. Toepel had the court make an <strong>erroneous</strong> decision and declare me a Vexatious litigant. I NEVER FIT ANY CRITERIA!<strong> Code of Civil Procedure section 391(b) clearly states &#8211; Vexatious litigant requires in a 7-year period maintained in propria persona at least 5 litigations other than small claims court that has been finally determined adversely to the person. I have exactly 0 cases that fall into this classification. I have testimony from Mr. Toepel via transcripts of numerous attempts to mislead the judge to declare me a vexatious litigant</strong></li>
<li>he used this order to criminally cause issues for me and still completely lock me out of communication and the ability to fight for my rights to fatherhood he helps take from me by grossly misleading to the court on every occasion he attended</li>
<li><strong>Shall not, knowing its invalidity, cite as authority a decision that has been overruled or a statute that has been repealed or declared unconstitutional</strong>; and he tried to seek a restraining order against flyer distribution which is my 1<sup>st</sup> amendment rights to send out regarding information that is factual news about members of the community (judge denied him)<br />
He attempts to get restraining orders one for himself and one for his client he received both under a complete lie and false pretenses. He misleads the court about the physical danger he and his client were in. Never once did I threaten their physical safety however I did exercise my 1<sup>st</sup> amendment rights, my freedom of speech allows me to complain on Google Reveiws, Yelp, and any supervisory person incharge of either their license of them if they are in commission of a violation of their sworn duties. I cannot be prevent or punished from complaining unless they are fake or false.  He also told the court that he will communicate with me, as I am PRO PER, for legal matters only if the judge issues the restraining order, he issued it and I tried communicating over 50 times via email and voice message to no avail. He lied to the issuing judge and used this order to criminally cause issues for me and still completely lock me out of communication and the ability to fight for my rights to fatherhood he helps take from me by grossly misleading to the court on every occasion he attended<br />
Rule 5-200 provides that an attorney will present in front of the court using only those means that are consistent with the truth and shall not act to mislead the judge, judicial officer or jury through a false statement of the law or fact, nor shall the attorney intentionally misquote a source or knowingly cite invalid authority.<br />
Cal. Rule of Prof. Conduct 5-200 provides that “[i]n presenting a matter to a tribunal, a member: (b) shall not seek to mislead the judge, judicial officer, or jury by an artifice or false statement of fact or law.” See also Mendez v.

App.4th 827 (2009) (observing that “‘“ [c]ounsel should not forget that they are officers of the court, and while it is their duty to protect and defend the interests of their clients, the obligation is equally imperative to aid the court in avoiding error and in determining the cause in accordance with justice and the established rules of practice.”’”)<br />

<li>CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY MISCONDUCT LAW<br />
<a href="http://www.statebarcourt.ca.gov/">State Bar Court</a> decision, In the Matter of <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxmoWgmUghgaUGRTUkxWRURaYjg/edit?usp=sharing">Maloney and Virsik</a>:<br />
&#8220;[The attorneys] committed acts of moral turpitude in wilful violation of section 6106 by knowingly making repeated misrepresentations to the Superior Court. It is well established that acts of moral turpitude include an attorney&#8217;s false or misleading statements to a court or tribunal&#8230;The actual intent to deceive is not necessary&#8230;Acts of moral turpitude include concealment as well as affirmative misrepresentations&#8230;<br />
[N]o distinction can be drawn among concealment, half-truth, and false statement of fact&#8230;Also, it is not necessary that [the attorneys] actually succeeded in perpetrating a fraud on the court&#8230;These [court] pleadings were permeated with half-truths, omissions, and outright misstatements of fact and law. The Supreme Court has denounced such misleading conduct and has not hesitated to impose discipline in such cases.&#8221;<br />
Lawyers have always had a duty to be honest and truthful pursuant to general ethical principles, as well as the State Bar Act. The newest version of the Rules of Professional Conduct, effective November 1, 2018, provides more specific guidance to lawyers relative to this duty. Rules 1.2.1, 1.6, 3.4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3,7.1 through 7.5, and 8.4 are all implicated in this duty, as well as Business &amp; Professions Code (“B&amp;P”) sections 6068(d), 6106, and 6128, among others. This discussion will focus on the B&amp;P Code sections, violations of which constitute cause for disbarment or other State Bar sanction, including but not limited to suspension, fines, and re-taking the Professional Responsibility examination.<br />
Lawyers are required to be truthful not only in dealing with the court and parties in litigation, but also in transactional matters and document preparation. Violations by a lawyer of these requirements can result in not only liability in tort — to one’s own client as well as opposing parties and counsel — but also in State Bar discipline.<br />
The B&amp;P Code is the source that allows the State Bar to prosecute lawyers for violations of ethical requirements, and section 6068 contains a long list of an attorney’s duties: “It is the duty of an attorney to do all of the following: …</li>
</ul>
<p><em>(d) to employ, for the purpose of meeting the causes confided to him or her those means only as are consistent with truth, and never to seek to mislead the judgeor any judicial officer by an artifice or false statement of fact or law. (Emphasis added.)<br />
</em>Opposing lawyers, as “officers of the court”, are duty-bound to not only tell the truth, but not to omit information that would cause the court or opposing counsel to be misled. This applies not only to litigated matters, but to “all causes confided to him or her”. See <em>Shafer v. Berger, Kahn, et al. </em>(2003) 107 Cal.App.4<sup>th</sup> 54 for a lengthy discussion of attorney misrepresentations which were determined to be fraudulent, including statements made by counsel during settlement negotiations. These are opinions based on reading the bar ruless</p>
