CASE BC661819 OUR DREADED FIRST DAY IN COURT

It was hard to sleep Monday night. I hadn't found an attorney who would take the case on contingency yet and I was afraid we were going to lose our home. We had an 8:30 am hearing at Superior Court in downtown LA.

We got up at 5 am and arrived early. Court is near Chinatown and I promised my son he could have Chinese food after we finished our work. James liked that idea and it made him happy to think about it. He talked about having "Donald Duck with Soy Sauce", which is what he calls Peking Duck. He had recovered from his loss of bladder control of September 2017 which happened when he fainted and had to go to the Emergency Room five times in that month alone, so when he asked to go potty several times while we waited outside the court room, I took him immediately. He was not having to wear diapers anymore and I wanted him to be able to stay out of diapers for the rest of his life. I had no reason to suspect something sneaky was going on with PETERSEN DEAN.

I saw a man who looked exactly like George Milionis, the attorney for PETERSEN DEAN sitting on the bench next to ours. He did not nod or say hello like most people do. I figured he knew who we were because he's seen the photos on this blog. Also, I was the ONLY lady in her 60's with an adult autistic son in the area. Case BC661819  was the ONLY case scheduled for that room. It would be kind of hard not to deduce that we were the people being sued by PETERSEN DEAN.

The man I saw looked like this:

I tried the court room door several times. It was locked. James had to go to the bathroom again. I took him to the nearby restroom and returned to try the court door. The courtroom was finally unlocked. I asked the clerk if I could have time to go downstairs to file our reply that I brought with me before the hearing. To my surprise, she told me the hearing was over. That was fast. I had come to court to ask if the hearing could be moved to 2017 to give me more time to find an attorney. That happened in spite of us missing the hearing. 

Why did PETERSEN DEAN avoid us? It wasn't just that they had the hearing as fast as they could, knowing we were there but not wanting us to be part of the hearing. My son and I spent the rest of the day in the court house filing the reply and learning how to send a copy to PETERSEN DEAN. The Los Angeles Sheriff's office said they couldn't serve PETERSEN DEAN in Fremont, California.  I called George Milionis and he did not answer. I left a message asking if he could give me a Los Angeles address the Sheriff's office could serve documents to. He never called back. I called PETERSEN DEAN'S regular number and told them their attorney was not returning my calls and could they provide me a local address to serve legal responses to. They said they would give the message to their attorney George Milionis. No one called back. A  court clerk told me I could go to a certain room and access the court records to search for a local address in the court filings. I found a Santa Clarita address and went back to the Sheriff's office on the 5th floor to ask if that would work. The Sheriff said that I could serve via mail directly to George Milionis in Fremont, that I could go downstairs and buy the forms to do that.

 I was told by the filing window clerk that my reply needed a cover sheet and I had to punch holes on the top of the two and a half inch thick documents, that I could go across the street to the Law Library. I felt weak when I drove to the court and all the walking made me feel even weaker. I went across the street to the law library. I told the clerks at the desk that I was ill and if I fainted there was a large card in my purse with instructions on who to call to take care of James until I was ok. I typed a cover sheet on their public computer. I was just about to print it when all the computers at the long table made a strange noise and went off line. Everyone working there lost the documents they were writing. Rather than risk that happening twice, I wrote the cover sheet in long hand and then punched holes on the top of the three copies of the REPLY and went across the street to file it. The clerks at the law library confirmed what the photos on the wall at the Superior Court filing room stated, that patience was required because the last time their computers systems were updated, cell phones looked like this:

The law library clerk laughed loud when I answered, "Well, no wonder the Russian hacked us. We need to keep up with the times."

All the clerks were nice to James. They noticed we were tired and dragging our feet, but we didn't quit until the work was done. Then James got his much anticipated reward: Dinner at Chinatown.

This is James at the window in the courthouse where you buy forms.

Of course this was one of the letters we filed so the court could learn what PETERSEN DEAN did not want to the court to know.

James on the roof of Superior Court where we had to go to get good reception to call George Milionis to ask him for a local address we could serve PETERSEN DEAN our reply documents. That is City Hall in the background.

In the room where the court clerks told us we could see our case on computer, I saw that PETERSEN DEAN made many sneaky attempts in 2017 to set up steal our house without us finding out until it was too late. I am grateful and lucky the court did not let PETERSEN DEAN do that to us. PETERSEN DEAN lied to the court about not being able to contact us. I was in constant contact with their insurance company, CAP SPECIALTY and with the CSLB. Everyone knew where we were. It is really odd to be sued by someone who hides from you and tells the court they can't find you, that in effect, you don't care if they take your home.

After all the work was done we drove to nearby Chinatown. We had hot and sour soup. Just a small bowl made me very sleepy. We had plenty of leftovers that we took home that I will reheat for Thanksgiving.

Hot and sour soup.

James can't read and doesn't have much language, so it is nice when the menu has photos.

 James enjoyed the tea and was very happy to be at dinner. He learned a new word today: Court House.

We went straight home after dinner and I had some raw garlic and Blackberry Sambucol to fend off the sore throat and stuffy nose that came out of the blue that afternoon. I can't afford to get sicker. We don't have safe housing because of what PETERSEN DEAN has done. We don't have access to any forming of a heater for this winter. We are going to have to fight hard to stay alive and we will.

Breakfast the next morning: Reheated hot and sour soup with more tofu and some snow peas thrown in.

We are thankful to still be alive, thankful that so far PETERSEN DEAN has failed to snatch our home away from us. We are thankful for social media, grateful that we don't have to go through this terrifying ordeal alone. Thank you for reading our story.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

OPEN LETTER TO CALIFORNIA DOJ, FBI AND CSLB

Dear California Department of Justice, FBI and CSLB,

My autistic son and I are both experiencing sudden and extreme bouts of high blood pressure after a solid year of being stressed mercilessly by PETERSEN DEAN and RENOVATE AMERICA / HERO PROGRAM. An urgent care doctor told me that my high blood pressure was a reaction to stress. My autistic son began passing out and is having extensive testing which also appears to be heading towards the same diagnosis, extreme stress caused by PETERSEN DEAN disrupting our lives without mercy has taken a toll on our health. We might not survive this. Please keep investigating if we pass away from stroke or heart attack. I was in perfect health a year ago. My son was ill and this has made him much worse. PETERSEN DEAN and RENOVATE AMERICA/ HERO will say they had nothing to do with our deaths. That is not true. Please keep investigating. The horror of what they are doing to us begs the question, "How many other senior citizens, low income disabled people have these con artists crippled, destroyed and deprived of their homes?" PETERSEN DEAN and RENOVATE AMERICA are not going to stop doing this unless you make them stop.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Marshall & son James

CSLB SF 2016 9935 Petersen Dean Case

Department of Justice

Dear California Department of Justice, and CSLB, Doris Velasquez,

I made the video of the water noise coming from my roof today, November 13, 2017, because I received a call from my neighbor Gladys to come out to the property because a dripping noise was bothering her, that she heard it all night for days and it hasn’t been raining.

It appears to be coming from the solar panels which have NEVER been in operation and were supposed to be removed by Petersen Dean in January 2017 as per agreement with Petersen Dean and HERO financing. 

Previously, months ago, I sent you photos of brown liquid coming from my roof when it was not raining. I do not know if water damage is happening to the roof / house perhaps because of liquid coming from the solar panels and condensation. No one has been on the roof except the CSLB appointed inspector. I am keenly aware that PETERSEN DEAN will try to blame anyone who goes up on the roof for any damage that is found there as they have already attempted to claim they are not responsible for damages done by the people they hire to do the work that they (PETERSEN DEAN) were hired to do. While a court of law is not likely to believe an inspector lifted up new shingles to put rotten wood under the new shingles, a jury might believe it if Petersen Dean accused an inspector of BREAKING panels, wood, wires. Therefore I did not allow anyone to inspect the roof except the CSLB.

The damage I witnessed Petersen Dean do to my interior garage electrical wiring with a SLEDGEHAMMER on November 2, 2016 to my understanding was not mentioned in the First CSLB inspection and you (Ms Doris Velasquez of CSLB) informed me a SECOND inspection was necessary for the electrical part of the matter, including the solar panels. The damage to air vents from stucco powder prevents use of the heater until the matter is resolved, making ongoing bouts of lung infection and pneumonia a continued risk.

That second stage of the CSLB inspection did not happen, presumably because Petersen Dean had promised to remove the panels and thus confused the matter. ( i. e. why inspect solar panels that are slated to be removed?)

Item: The solar panels have NEVER functioned and were NEVER turned on.

Item: The 2017 offer from DWP to install free solar panels and pay me $300 a year to use them has been stopped by Petersen Dean’s tax credit scam. When H&R Block revealed it was a tax credit scam, both Petersen Dean and HERO agreed to remove the solar panels because as it was revealed by H&R Block, I could not afford them, that $10,000+ was in fact NOT going to fall off the $34,118.06. 

I was told repeatedly by PETERSEN DEAN that it by getting the package, it was like I was getting the roof free. That lie was repeated to me by different employees of PETERSEN DEAN. On one occasion I was told in a convoluted way that the deal expired but that I was being given another deal that was the same as the expired deal, that I was getting a good deal, that I was getting the same deal everyone was getting and I was getting the deal I thought I was getting. When my neighbor asked what the deal was, I was told by Petersen Dean that the deal was different for everyone and they would like to talk to her privately. 

I repeatedly asked that this "deal" be explained to me IN WRITING but PETERSEN DEAN men kept trying to arrange to meet me alone in the house to make me understand. The police advised me not to do this. Petersen Dean resisted every request to put this complicated, strange "deal" in writing. Finally I was given this chart that was supposed to answer my questions:

I was lied to by both Petersen Dean and HERO while I was guided through the jumpy, difficult to read electronic signatures. I was told to sign my signature and my initials ONE TIME and then my signature was deposited for me on a fast moving screen that was very difficult to read. In spite of my advance age, I did catch that there were two contracts. I asked repeatedly why the amount that was supposed to "drop off" was still showing, why there were TWO contracts. I was told by PETERSEN DEAN that people my age have trouble understanding these electronic contracts. I was deeply concerned that something was wrong but both PETERSEN DEAN and HERO assured me the price was not what I feared, that in fact $10,000+ would “fall off” in the form of tax credits. H&R Block examined the document that PETERSEN DEAN gave me to “prove” I would not “really” be paying the $34,118.06 that it seemed to me I was being billed. 

I have not received any documentation from CSLB regarding some of the electrical and other damage to my home caused by Petersen Dean and witnessed by me as it happened. I also have not received acknowledgment that the solar panels have NEVER BEEN used, turned on. The solar panels were supposed to be removed. I have not received acknowledgment of the tax credit scam / financial fraud portion of this matter acknowledging that PETERSEN DEAN in partnership with HERO FINANCING deceived me regarding the true and correct cost of this project. 

Question: Do I need to file an additional new complaint with the CSLB to focus on the monumental financial fraud elements of this matter? We have been gravely damaged financially and it is ongoing.  

Our health has been damaged physically and my son and I have both suffered multiple lung infections as well as extreme high blood pressure and fainting. What Petersen Dean is doing may result in death of me and or my son by stroke, heart attack, kidney problems brought on by extreme, unrelenting stress for an entire year. The financial damage and SOLID YEAR of unjustified stress of having our home in limbo has caused serious damage to the health of my autistic son James and myself. I went from perfect health, documented by Blue Shield / Covered California to suddenly having high blood pressure every single day. My son James is stressed beyond his ability to cope and also has developed high blood pressure and he is only 34. It is like we have been homeless for an entire year, fighting in vain to save our home and our lives. In psychological terms it has been like being a prisoner of war. We have not been permitted to return to our real life, to experience a night without dread and fear, to experience one single day without struggling to regain our equilibrium. 

I hope the Department of Justice will consider charging Petersen Dean and partner HERO financing with some form of attempted manslaughter in the sloppy attempt to knowingly commit financial fraud on victims they knew it would be easy to stress to death. Please do not let our deaths go un-investigated. I believe it was Petersen Dean’s intention to “win” our house by default. I believe HERO got cold feet and really wanted their contractor not to gamble on winning by default. Petersen Dean saw with their own eyes how sick James was and they mentioned his illness to me as a bargaining point as they tried to force me to sign a HERO document. Petersen Dean used my son’s health and the treat of MECHANICS LIENS to try to ram the tax credit scam down my throat. Petersen Dean told me what would happen to me and my son if I didn’t sign was “unimaginable”. 

If I die of a stroke in November 2017, please accept this email as my testimony that my death was not natural. My medical records show the onset of my high blood pressure coincides with having work done on our house and grew worse with the stress of watching my son fainting, losing consciousness, losing control of his bodily functions, crying because we have no emergency housing left, not being able to handle not being able to return to our normal life for over a year...my health deteriorated watching my son deteriorate from a year of unjustified stress. My entire body winced when my son stopped breathing. My body did not un-wince. My throat and my chest almost always feel tight. Watching my son suffer has torn me apart.

In January 2017 HERO wanted PETERSEN DEAN to remove the panels and finance the new shingles only but PETERSEN DEAN made it clear to me they would rather take our house than take that loss. Petersen Dean used my son’s health problems as a bargaining chip. Giving in to the bullying would not have made my son safe. The opposite is true. It would have sealed our fate.

It was a no win bargain for me...let my son die of stress by signing the document Petersen Dean was trying to force me to sign, knowingly accept a deal that H&R Block revealed would bankrupt us.....or don’t sign and search for an attorney who takes contingency cases while my son is in and out of the Emergency Rooms and Urgent Care Clinics. We ended up in the ER while asking an Alieso Viego attorney to consider our case. I had to leave the attorneys office and rush James to the ER so fast that I left behind personal belongings I had to go back and retrieve only to find the firm doesn’t take contingency cases. Most days my son was sobbing so uncontrollably that it was impossible to talk to attorneys in person or by phone. James’s doctors were alarmed that James was losing his emergency housing. Petersen Dean wasted our emergency housing with this unwarranted nightmare. What we have and are enduring is beyond words. 

If I live I will request Petersen Dean be charged with attempted murder/manslaughter in the commission of financial crimes/fraud. HERO is guilty as well. HERO knew everything because I reported everything to them. 

HERO advertising claims they protect senior citizens from this very thing, when in fact they step aside and allow their contractors to destroy people who resist the tax credit scam. 

We are different than most HERO/ PETERSEN DEAN victims because we found out BEFORE signing the final documents. Most victims get hit with the truth a year after signing the final documents and then suddenly can’t afford their house payment because they didn’t really get the tax credits they were told would make it affordable. 

H&R Block examined the document Petersen Dean gave me and warned me that none of the savings / credits applied to me, that I was not in that tax bracket and HERO and PETERSEN DEAN knew this by virtue of our well documented application process and discussions regarding how I could never qualify for regular financing for solar panels, and that I could not afford air conditioning, that I could not afford to use all the equity in my home given to me by KEEP YOUR HOME CALIFORNIA in the spring of 2016.  The tax credit scam HERO and Petersen Dean attempted to pull was deliberate. BOTH Petersen Dean and HERO knew the equity in my house was from a very recent grant from KEEP YOUR HOME CALIFORNIA.

If I die from a stress induced stroke before I can testify in a court of law, please accept this email as my sworn testimony that both Petersen Dean and HERO had full knowledge that I could not afford the $34,118.06 they dishonestly assured me on many occasions was not the true amount I would pay.

Furthermore, HERO in fact tried to encourage me to use ALL the KEEP YOUR HOME CALIFORNIA $76,000.00 equity, knowing full well this would cause me to not be able to afford my house payment in a year. HERO was upset that I refused to let their HERO SEARS contractor install air conditioning. HERO kept complaining and reminding me that I said I needed air conditioning and HERO complained that I had the equity to get it. It was as if HERO was trying to make me feel guilty and obligated to get air conditioning simply because I had asked how much it would cost. It was also as if HERO was trying to make me feel stupid for not getting air conditioning just because there was enough equity in the house to pay for it. At all times HERO understood that if I did what they were trying to push me to do that I would not be able to afford my house payment in a year. HERO knew. HERO knows. It is true that for years we received phone calls from Social Services reminding us to leave our home during heat waves because we do not have air conditioning. We learned to live with it. There is no excuse for buying air conditioning if you can't afford it. I refused to buy it because I could not afford it.

In that instance SEARS was not telling me baloney like PETERSEN DEAN was. SEARS did not aggressively lie like PETERSEN DEAN did. SEARS did not tell me ten thousand dollars and more would “fall off” due to tax credits. 

It was clear to me I could not afford air conditioning so I refused to sign the contract HERO’s SEARS contractor tried to get me to sign on a tablet they brought to my home. 

SEARS and HERO both wanted me to spend ALL of my KEEP YOUR HOME CALIFORNIA equity and I flat refused to do so.

I will testify under oath in a court of law under the laws of the State of California that my statements in this email are true and correct. 

My son and I are victims of financial fraud. Our lives have been destroyed by the criminal actions of Petersen Dean and their partner HERO financing. Cap Specialty insures Petersen Dean's bond. I do not know who insures HERO. I do know that we are not their only victims. Many places we went to for help informed us that they are overwhelmed with cases like ours.

It is very possible that my son or I might die of stress caused high blood pressure and exposure to the cold this winter. We have been struggling to stay alive all of 2017 but it is time to put on record that we are only human, that we have been hurt very bad by what Petersen Dean deliberately chose to do to us when legally they never should have used a Mechanics Lien to try to force a signature on job that was never completed and criminally financed via fraudulent figures, padded DWP amounts and fraudulent use of tax bracket figures both HERO and Petersen Dean had full knowledge did not apply to us by virtue of their own application documentation. 

We are only human. My blood pressure became permanently high since the day in September 2017 when my son was taken from the pavement in front the Marriott to the ER by ambulance. He stopped breathing for seconds that felt like forever. He felt like lifeless jello in my arms. The hotel staff ran to my room to get my purse with his medical IDs while I held my son waiting for the ambulance. My ears rang as I followed the ambulance in my car as the ambulance men suggested I do. James was in the ER 5 times within a month, not counting Urgent Care visits. My ears have been ringing every day since we maxed out our emergency housing and I could no longer afford our hotel room. On November 3, I fainted. (I had told my home insurance adjuster David Klein of ASSURANT on another occasion when I fainted in the parking lot of the MARRIOTT and again suffered temporary hearing loss. I also informed him on the occasion in our MARRIOTT hotel room when, like James, I had a lung infection and suddenly was unable to breath for a few seconds. Air would not come in or out. I was treated with a 2nd round of antibiotics. My blood pressure has become a problem I never had until fall 2016. It’s gotten worse each passing week. Watching my son fall apart because of what Petersen Dean is doing to us is ripping me apart. 

Please hold HERO/RENOVATE AMERICA/ Petersen Dean accountable for our deaths if my son and I succumb to this horrible situation Petersen Dean and HERO have trapped us in. We are fighting to stay alive with all our might, dreaming of having a safe home to live in again. But we are only human and so far the only reason doctors have found for the downward spiral in our health is the horrific stress. 

On terrifying occasions the ringing in my ears changed to not being able to hear at all, almost like being under water, having to sit down to keep from falling, losing consciousness. Unlike James, I sat down, then laid down before losing consciousness. James was standing and just fell backwards with no warning. A lady behind him caught him just before his head would have hit the concrete in front of the Marriott. I was in front of James and dove to help her break his fall and ripped the skin off my knees helping this kind stranger protect my son’s head from injury. Her daughter called the ambulance that Sunday morning. I guess because of James’s autism he doesn’t understand he should sit down when he feels faint. Days later he fainted again in the hotel bathroom and again I caught him before he fell on the sink / floor. He held on to me saying “goes to sleep” before he lost consciousness and lost  control of his bowels and bladder. He was aware that something bad was happening and called it “goes to sleep”. Seeing him turn to jelly again like that was horrifying. 

We might not survive this. We are trying 

Sincerely, 

Jennifer Marshall 

and son James 

At least now I have a chance to save my son's life. BREAKING: CSLB IS CITING PETERSEN DEAN

The CONTRACTORS STATE LICENSE BOARD, CSLB, has citied PETERSEN DEAN.

CAP SPECIAL INSURANCE for PETERSEN DEAN'S BOND also needs to be informed that their client has abused the MECHANICS LIENS process by filing two liens BEFORE completing a job, attempting to use threat of liens and prolonging my autistic son's mental and physical pain, not to mention the huge count of FINANCIAL FRAUD engaged in by The HERO PROGRAM and PETERSEN DEAN and all the resulting, ongoing harm done to the consumer as a result.

Case BC661819 needs to be withdrawn from court immediately.

The two MECHANICS LIENS are invalid and need to be removed immediately. These liens have prevented refinancing and financing of a series of three surgeries needed by the autistic young man, James Marshall, that PETERSEN DEAN has been tormenting for over a year. Teeth that could have been saved if PETERSEN DEAN had not attempted to engage in fraud have in October 2017, been declared no longer viable to save. The autistic young man has suffered intense pain that could have been relieved a year ago if PETERSEN DEAN had not engaged in this senseless harassment. 

PETERSEN DEAN specifically mentioned James Marshall's health AS LEVERAGE in many phone calls to me over many months when trying to force me to sign documents. I was repeatedly warned by PETERSEN DEAN that they knew my son was having a terrible year health wise and it would be a SHAME if they had to turn us over to the PETERSEN DEAN legal department because I wouldn't sign the document saying the job was done satisfactorily. The CSLB findings illustrate why it would have been wrong to sign that dishonest document. It would have endangered my son and I irrevocably if I let PETERSEN DEAN bully me into signing off with HERO. I would be agreeing to go bankrupt, agreeing to accept all the rotten wood as my problem even though I would be paying for the removal of the rotten wood. I would be responsible for the $4,000 remediation of the stucco powder in our air vents and coating all our possessions. I would be responsible for the damaged electrical in the garage that I saw PETERSEN DEAN do with a SLEDGEHAMMER. I could not let them bully me, even when they threw my son's health in my face. I would not have helped James if I signed those documents. It would have sealed his fate in the most horrible way. At least now I have a chance to save my son's life.

In addition to severe dental pain, James has been suffering from fainting, bladder failure, lung infections and serious stress due to the state of his housing which PETERSEN DEAN deliberately tried to use a leverage to force signatures on documents.

The MECHANICS LIENS are not valid. They were used as leverage, not the purpose they are legally intended to be used for.  They are causing harm and need to be removed.

The job was not done well. There is rotten wood that was deliberately not removed, wood PETERSEN DEAN dismissed as "thirsty wood" because it would not hold paint. The promise to remove the solar panels because the price was not honestly quoted has been broken. HERO withdrawing financing was illegal and done to enable PETERSEN DEAN to attempt to preemptively seize our home before government agencies could investigate. Both PETERSEN DEAN and HERO / RENOVATE AMERICA destroyed evidence and attempted to limit the ability of the courts to review what actually was done by PETERSEN DEAN and HERO / RENOVATE AMERICA,

The proof of service in Case BC661819 is a case study in outrageous perjury. 

More documentation to be posted soon.

Autistic young man's three dental surgeries planned for 2016 were stopped by PETERSEN DEAN holding the family hostage financially via illegal use of MECHANICS LIENS on a job that was not even completed. Many of the teeth that could have been saved in 2016 are no longer able to be saved according to the most recent dental exam in October 2017. The emotional and physical harm suffered by James Marshall as a direct result of PETERSEN DEAN'S actions is astounding and it is beyond comprehension how PETERSEN DEAN could be so void of human decency. PETERSEN DEAN purposefully used James Marshall's pain as LEVERAGE to try to force the family to sign documents.

THE KEEBLER ELF DEFENSE

No. The KEEBLER ELVES did not do it.

They were making cookies at the time in question.

I have been informed by a Los Angeles County Employee that the CONTRACTORS STATE LICENSING BOARD and CAP SPECIALITY have been urged (conned?) by PETERSEN DEAN and their attorney GEORGE MILIONIS to believe it is "impossible" to identify who did the work on our house that PETERSEN DEAN was hired to do. (Never mind that I saw the man with the sledgehammer knock the electrical wires loose with that sledgehammer. GEORGE MILIONIS does not put much stock in eyewitnesses.)

We have photos of the men who worked on our house. We have their names. We have their phone numbers. They do not deny having done the work they did and they did not deny the stucco accident on November 2, 2016. They apologized. PETERSEN DEAN tried to make them do a clean up they protested they were not licensed to do and did not know how to do.

Bottom line: the Keebler Elves did not work on our roof. It's not rocket science. The hallmark of George Milionis's technique is to create mystery where there is no mystery. To create doubt where there is no doubt.

This is not MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS. We know exactly who did what work on the house.

Think how preposterous it is for someone who wants to be PAID for repairing your roof to be presenting the argument to the CONTRACTORS STATE LICENSING BOARD and insurance company CAPSPECIALTY that no one can prove who did the work in question.

There is one clear motive PETERSEN DEAN'S attorney has for pretending they don't know who did the work and that is that Mr. George Milionis knows that he cannot rely on those gentlemen to lie for PETERSEN DEAN. They are subcontractors hired by PETERSEN DEAN and some of them told PETERSEN DEAN they could not do work they were being told to do but were not trained and licensed to do that work. PETERSEN DEAN does not want these men to testify in court for obvious reasons. I was on the job site and I heard the conversations between the subcontractors and their boss. I heard the employee say he was not qualified to do stucco remediation, that he did not have the equipment needed and that it would take him over four days to TRY to do the job he did not know how to do. He told his boss he did not know how to clean my autistic son's room, especially the fabrics and all the thousands of small items in the garage. I have the employee's name and phone number. I will also testify in court to the conversations I heard regarding not having a license and ability to do certain types of work.

This is a photo one of the men who worked on our roof. We can ask them all to come to court to testify as to exactly what work they did on our property. Most of the employees PETERSEN DEAN is claiming cannot be identified will tell the truth in court, which is why GEORGE MILIONIOS is claiming it is hard to identify them. Most of these subcontractors PETERSEN DEAN hired will not lie for PETERSEN DEAN. These subcontractors may not have been aware of the tax credit scam and the FINANCIAL FRAUD being committed by HERO and PETERSEN DEAN. They each do know exactly what part of the house they worked on, what repairs they were AUTHORIZED by PETERSEN DEAN to do and what work they were asked to do that they protested was not work they were qualified to do and would not attempt to do.

George Milionis, attorney for PETERSEN DEAN likes to win by cheating. Mr. Milionis makes people disappear. Mr Milionis makes facts disappear. Mr. Milionis uses the KEEBLER ELF DEFENSE. Mr. Milionis limits the scope of investigations to conceal financial fraud from being brought to justice. Mr. Milionis may be trying to manipulate the CSLB, which is wrong and should not be endured by the CSLB.

ILLEGAL USE OF MECHANICS LIENS

Item: The job in question was never completed. 

Item: The roof is CREAKING.

Item: The house is dangerous. There is stucco powder in the air vents from Petersen Deans reckless use of a stucco saw on November 2, 2016. There are multiple fire hazards created by the condition Petersen Dean left the house in. Petersen Dean refused to pay a licensed remediation service in spite of immediate quotes from qualified companies who agreed to start work on November 2, 2016. The fire hazard to our property extends to the many homes very close to each other in back to back gated communities. Petersen Dean complained that the quotes from licensed stucco powder remediation companies were too high and they wanted to use their subcontractor electricians to do remediation in spite of the protests from the electrician, Mr. Garrett Wallace that he did not know how to do stucco remediation work and would not know who to clean my autistic son's bedroom and the thousands of items covered with dust, including the air vents.

Item: There is still rotten wood on the roof. Petersen Dean shrugged it off as "thirsty wood". This is rotten wood that was supposed to be removed and replaced before a scheduled termite treatment by PACIFIC COAST TERMITE could be completed. That termite treatment has been on hold since Petersen Dean shut everything down on November 2, 2016 by refusing to move forward unless illegal documents were signed FIRST, stating that the work was done before they would do it, a document that required me to give up all rights and just "have faith" Petersen Dean would do the job. The damage is ongoing.

Item: There is still electrical damage done by Petersen Dean that has not been repaired. Petersen Dean shrugged it off as "impossible to tell which of their sub-contractors did what damage. We have names, numbers and photos of everyone who worked on the house. The work was not done by elves who disappeared into the magical night. This is a fire hazard for our house and the surrounding houses in our neighborhood.

Item: H&R Block reviewed Petersen Dean documents and declared it was a tax credit scam. Upon this revelation, both Petersen Dean and HERO (parent company RENOVATE AMERICA), agreed to remove the solar panels. That agreement was broken by Petersen Dean, who on second thought, decided to seize the property.

Item: Petersen Dean and their attorney George Milionis put mind boggling  illegal conditions on making repairs and removing the solar panels by demanding again, repeatedly, that documents be signed BEFORE they would honor the agreement to make repairs, documents that stated that the work they would do was already done and that all rights of the customer were given up regardless of the outcome of the undone work that the document stated was already done. 

Item: Petersen Dean and George Milionis and employees of the HERO PROGRAM via George Milionis have purposely given false information to CapSpecialty Insurance and the CSLB, the Contractors State Licensing Board with the intent of making them complicit in an attempted cover up of financial fraud.

Item: George Milionis illegally filed two Mechanics Liens to illegally seize a property with the intention of destroying all evidence of financial fraud.

PETERSEN DEAN TELLS CAP SPECIALTY THAT AUTISTIC BOY WAS SICK BEFORE THEY HURT HIM

Petersen Dean and partner The HERO program both know they are killing my autistic son. Petersen Dean put in writing to their insurance company, Cap Speciality, that James was sick before they doused him with baby fine stucco powder, causing a massive lung infection. Petersen Dean and HERO tried to hold two opposite positions, claiming they never knew James was sick while insisting he was already sick while they continue to stress him and make him weaker with each passing month. Petersen Dean filed Mechanics Liens on a job that wasn't finished. This translates into stressing James to death for nothing, for liens that will ultimately be declared invalid.

Petersen Dean, in a written letter to CapSpecialty Insurance, stated that my autistic son James was sick before they made him sicker by filling his lungs, his bedroom, the air vents of the house with baby fine stucco powder.

Both Petersen Dean and HERO reneged on the promise to remove the over-priced solar panels, which would have taken an enormous stress off our family by ending the threat of losing our home to a tax credit scam. 

I want that solution honored and we need to be compensated for the deliberate disruption of the mold remediation. Petersen Dean needs to reimburse us for wasting all our Emergency Housing time and they need to pay for the mold remediation if it is no longer covered due to statutes passing because of HERO’s and Petersen Dean’s willful disruption of the remediation and willful endangering of our lives and willful stressing my autistic son beyond his ability to survive. 

I have held my completely unresponsive son in my arms, waiting for the ambulance, fearing he was not going to start breathing again.... too many times since Petersen Dean derailed our lives November 2,  2016. James recently stopped breathing on three occasions. James was in the emergency room 5 times in September 2017. He is seeing a cardiologist today. James cannot survive the disruption HERO and Petersen Dean have and continue to cause to his life. 

The tax credit scam was revealed by H&R Block in 2016. HERO and Petersen Dean agreed to settle by removing the panels. That was and is the only honest solution available. 

What Petersen Dean and HERO subsequently decided to do was dishonest and amounts to destroying us in an attempt to destroy evidence of the tax credit scam. 

Petersen Dean and HERO were both aware of James’s illness in 2016. They also knew we were in Emergency Housing. They saw the mold remediation in person, in progress and saw James barely able to walk. They routinely called us at the hotel many times and arranged times for us to drive to the house to open the house and side yard safety gate so they could access their materials stored in our backyard. Petersen Dean employees saw when James was too sick to get out of the car. Petersen Dean employees were face to face with me when I told them I had to leave early before they were done working because James needed to go to the ER. I told them to just close the side yard and backyard gate and I would come back after the ER to lock up. 

HERO and Petersen Dean have all but killed James Marshall with stress that they never should have imposed upon him in their effort to bury their tax credit scam and both HERO and Petersen Dean should pause and reconsider the horror their deliberate choice has caused James before it is too late to turn back. 

Pulling this scam on a household with an autistic family member is heinous enough, but trying to get away with this tax credit fraud on a family with an autistic man with serious health problems is unconscionable. 

Many of James’s doctors warned us that the stress of merely changing hotel rooms could be detrimental to James. Petersen Dean deliberately wasted ALL our Emergency Housing with this uncalled for misuse of the Mechanics Lien process on an incomplete job and in September 2017 pushed us into that unimaginable hell they bullied us about and “promised” us in 2016 if we refused to just submit to the tax credit scam and just let HERO take our home in a year when the balloon hit. 

Petersen Dean’s effort to make HERO “disappear” and revoke the only financing we were qualified for so Jim Petersen could isolate, corner us, treat us like animals being killed for sport and terrorize us for an entire year is the unimaginable cruelty that I was PROMISED would happen by Petersen Dean’s employee Kyle Smith. Mr Smith warned me that if I did not sign a document saying that work that was not really done WAS done (and STILL has not been done) and sign away all our rights, that attorney George Milionis would bring unimaginable stress upon us and Kyle Smith said to me that he knew James was ill and that James had a very difficult year (2016) so it would be a shame to subject James to what unimaginable stress Petersen Dean’s legal department was going to bring us. He kept saying “unimaginable”.  

The staff of the Marriott hotel can help you imagine what has happened to James. They ran to our hotel room to get my car keys while I held my unconscious son on the concrete in front of the hotel waiting for ambulance so I could follow the ambulance to the emergency room. They made broth for James when he couldn’t eat. They saw my son suffer and deteriorate month after month from the cruel stress HERO and Petersen Dean heaped on us for a whole year to attempt to bury all evidence of their tax credit scam. 

HERO and their contractor / partner Petersen Dean seem willing to bury my son James even though it will not really bury all the evidence that they attempted to pull a tax credit scam upon us. Petersen Dean has already told Cap Specialty that James was sick BEFORE they doused him with stucco powder. 

James could be having a happy life now if he hadn’t been forced to endure this intense, DAILY, nonstop cruelty. James could have recovered. He never would have become this sick if Petersen Dean and HERO never entered our lives. He could have had a long, happy life. At this point HERO and Petersen Dean need to re-evaluate what they have done and are doing. Causing James Marshall to die is not going to erase evidence of fraud.

Sincerely, 

Jennifer Marshall
