One aspect of your story was not clear, however. Attorney Camillo F. Volini was called in after the Cambodian Association had already lost their property. Mr. Volini was engaged to help them file a petition with the Indemnity Fund pursuant to an agreement they had entered into with the tax buyer. At that point, it was a crisis situation in which the petition to the Indemnity Fund had to be filed right away. Attorney Volini filed that petition and assisted the association in paying their back taxes (also a condition of the agreement with the tax buyer), as well as paying the costs associated with the filing of the petition.
Mr. Volini died March 1, 2001. He donated countless hours of pro bono work to refugees and disadvantaged people who resided and worked in the Uptown community. At his funeral, he was honored by many who had been served by his generosity and expertise, and who loved and respected him. The Reader article did a disservice to his memory.
