Concerns Raised Over Attorneys Involved in Litigation Against Scientology
Following the recent disciplinary ruling against attorney Brian Kent by the Pennsylvania Disciplinary Board, new concerns have emerged about other legal professionals connected to ongoing litigation involving the Church of Scientology.
A source familiar with the matter has come forward, alleging a broader pattern of misconduct among attorneys tied to these high-profile cases.
Among those named is Graham Berry, a Los Angeles-based attorney who previously served as co-counsel with Kent in cases involving Scientology.
Berry was recently added—once again—to the Judicial Council of California’s list of vexatious litigants, according to court records. The designation restricts an individual’s ability to file lawsuits without prior judicial approval. Berry has also faced past scrutiny over allegations of inappropriate conduct with clients.
Another attorney linked to this circle is Michael Dolce, formerly of a law firm that collaborated with legal scholar Marci Hamilton, who has served alongside Kent in various lawsuits. In 2023, Dolce was sentenced to four years in federal prison and 15 years of supervised release after pleading guilty to possessing child pornography. According to a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice, Dolce had amassed an extensive collection of illicit material at the time of his arrest.
Questions have also been raised about Neil Glazer, the attorney reportedly responsible for filing the initial bar complaint against Brian Kent. Glazer was reprimanded following an incident involving intoxication and inappropriate behavior toward a client. The source claims Glazer is no longer associated with his former law firm and is not currently active in litigation against Scientology.
Critics argue that the conduct of some involved attorneys may jeopardize the credibility and outcomes of these important cases.
“I have no personal stake in this matter,” said the individual who provided the information to this publication, adding that their interest stems from a personal experience with attorney negligence. “I’ve made it a point to research and expose problematic behavior within the legal profession.”
As public interest grows in the legal teams representing clients in cases against institutions, these developments highlight the importance of ensuring accountability for those entrusted with the responsibility of seeking justice.
Efforts to reach attorneys Berry and Glazer for comment were unsuccessful at the time of publication.
