Israeli-linked Hirschler colluded with 3 Va. Judges in Land Fraud

Evidence was presented to three Virginia Circuit Court judges that the Israeli-linked Hirschler law firm had colluded with their client, Kitsa Panos, to forge her elderly partner's signature in a $1.4 million land fraud on Lingerfelt Commonwealth Partners.

In three separate cases, the forged $1.4 million contract and the revoked power of attorney for Kitsa Panos were presented as evidence to Virginia Judges: Judge Joseph J. Ellis, Judge Harold W. (Chip) Burgess, and Judge  M. Duncan Minton that Hirschler Law partner Franklin B. Cragle III had advised his client Kitsa S. Panos to forge her partners signature as to defraud her of her 20% share and sell 52 acres of valuable industrial property to Commonwealth Partners for $1.4 million that had a defective title.

Judge Joseph J. Ellis, Judge Harold W. (Chip) Burgess, and Judge M. Duncan Minton ignored evidence of fraud by the Israeli-linked Hirschler law firm; in doing so, they violated the Virginia Judicial Canons requiring them to report criminal actions by attorneys. Evidence showed that Judge Joseph J. Ellis, Judge Harold W. (Chip) Burgess, and Judge  M. Duncan Minton had ex parte communications with Hirschler partners to collude in the $1.4 million land fraud.

In a recent case in Chesterfield County Circuit Court, case # CL25-0333, ignored the $1.4 million fraud and sealed the court filings that contained the evidence. At a scheduled June 23, 2026, hearing at which the Co-defendant and witness to the $1.4 million fraud was to testify, Judge M. Duncan Minton set aside his order allowing the defendant-witness to testify by audio-video and ordered him to personally appear despite being located in Greece, 5000 miles away.

Israeli linked Hirschler has a history of having ex parte communications, bribing judges, and the Virginia State Bar to obtain favorable rulings and judgments for their clients.

Articles of Impeachment are being drafted against Judge Joseph J. Ellis, Judge Harold W. (Chip) Burgess, and Judge  M. Duncan Minton for their collusion and violation of the Virginia Judicial Canons.
