Flashing Billboard Blasts NH Judicial System, Governor

Mike Gill is mad as hell and he's not going to take it anymore.

Mike Gill has been trying to get the word out that he believes he's been the victim of "judicial corruption."

He's taking his message to the streets in a big, flashy way, with huge billboards outside his business, "The Mortgage Specialist," with four locations. 

Gill has appeared on a local Access Nashua program, "Speak Up,"  to air his issues, and will talk openly about his view – that the family court system – including lawyers, judges, politicians, banking department, AG – is all corrupted and not working for the good of the people it should be serving. 

His divorce was more than ugly, says Gill – both attorneys involved were working together to do him in, ruin his business and put his family "through hell." 

He says New Hampshire has a lot of attorneys involved in "corruption and crime," and the courts allow it. So so politicians, lawyers and judges, and nobody wants to address it – instead, they pretend the problem doesn't exist.

"You have to stand up, just like we're standing up, and say this can't happen anymore. Where's the balance of justice if it's based on greed?" Gill said. 

He says the people representing him weren't attorneys, they were "fixers" trying to cut a deal with him, a deal he couldn't accept in good conscience. For months he's been working to expose the system to whoever will listen. 

Now Gill, who is president of The Mortgage Specialist, has launched a billboard campaign against the system that is impossible to ignore, with neon signs including one on Amherst Street in Nashua. It says there is corruption, from the banking department to the Attorney General, politicians and judges – even the governor is accused of having her "eyes closed" to the problems Gill says exist.

If you haven't driven by Gill's Nashua office on Amherst Street yet, you can see video of the billboard, uploaded above.

Here is a YouTube video Gill posted in May of 2013 about a banking commission lawsuit, with visual aids.

And here is a YouTube video posted in June of 2013 of Gill discussing his issues during an event in Bedford, NH.

Gill, who made a name for himself – and a small fortune – as a top race horse owner, dropped out of a federal lawsuit in 2013 he filed against jockeys at Penn National Race Course, telling the judge he "could not find an attorney at a reasonable price to represent him in his claims that the jockeys engaged in a conspiracy against him and that their boycott was illegal," according to this story posted by the Patriot News in March of 2013.

We'll follow up with Gill today to find out what kind of reaction he's getting to his signs.
