Anthony Otworth, dba Custom Touch Remodel
Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, Case No. 10 CVH 04 6124
This home improvement case involved failure to deliver and poor workmanship allegations.
Anthony Otworth owned and operated Custom Touch Remodel, an unincorporated
business. In their complaints, consumers alleged they paid deposits but no work was done or
the work performed was so poor that they had to pay another contractor to correct it. The
Attorney General filed a lawsuit on April 21, 2010, for violations of the Consumer Sales
Practices Act and Home Solicitation Sales Act. Specific counts included failure to deliver,
deposit-related violations, shoddy workmanship, and failure to provide a written agreement
and notice of cancellation form. On April 18, 2011, the court issued an Order and Entry
granting summary judgment to the Attorney General. It awarded the Attorney General a
declaratory judgment and a permanent injunction. A May 16, 2011, damages hearing
awarded $10,589.33 for consumer restitution and a $175,000 civil penalty. read more
