THIS IS LIBELOUS
I became an attorney in 1975. In 1978, 3 years later, I was listed in the book "Who's Who in American Law". Unheard of at 28 years old. Some years later I was one of the last few people being considered to be Director of Bar Examinations by the State Bar of California. I consented to, and passed, an extremely rigorous background check conducted by RETIRED FBI AGENTS.
His response is absolute lie after absolute lie. I NEVER said a word to his workers about his wife. An utter lie. They never said a word to me about anything I said, because I didn't say anything. A heinous lie.
Saying that I offered her shots of vodka is a despicable lie. I gave her an unopened bottle at the beginning of the move and I NEVER SAW IT AGAIN. I DON'T OWN ANY MORE VODKA. This is a really reprehensible lie.
She never came back to my place twice. She stayed after the move and helped me organize some things, for which I said I was grateful, as I am old and not well. I did not call her many times. Another lie. His wife wrote on my paper calendar on the September 4 page ''Emily will be here at 10:00 am" and wrote down her phone number. I had a curtain rod that needed to be screwed into the wall. That's it. She said that she would help me put it up. When she didn't arrive at 10:00am as promised I called her. She said that she would be late because she had to go to Pittsburg because the movers had left something in the truck. Apparently this is a common practice with then, as when they left the old place they left dollies in my garage. I had to flag them down and give them my garage door opener so they could go get them. She showed up 3 HOURS late.
I NEVER SAID ANYTHING TO HER THAT WAS CRUEL, MEAN, NASTY, OR INAPPROPRIATE, AND I NEVER WOULD. What I said was that I was upset because I was told that it would take 2 hours to get out of the old place and it took DOUBLE and the move cost higher than the high estimate. I said they were the slowest movers I ever used. All factual statements. NOTHING directed at her personally. Suddenly she just started crying. Tears streaming down her face. I was watching someone have some type of mental breakdown before my eyes. Scary.
He wrote about how I treat hard working people and women. THIS IS DEFAMATORY. He knows absolutely nothing about me. Did he know that I represented 613 Vietnam veterans for free in the Agent Orange class action litigation in Federal court and spent over $25,000 of my own money and asked for nothing in return? The vast majority of my clients were hard working people and I often cut my fees or did free legal work for them. Did you know I was an unpaid legal advisor to a local women's shelter. Please put in writing the specific facts you know about how I mistreated women and others. I had a 50 year unblemished legal career and never had a malpractice claim or State Bar complaint in my life. He is lashing out because his movers were slow and bad. For him to take time to research my 16 year of Yelp reviews is really twisted. How about my over 30 5 star reviews? My many 3 and 4 star reviews.
I never took advantage of anyone. You are attacking an honorable, ethical elderly person because you got a bad review. Again, please state with specificity exactly what I did to mistreat hard working people and women. You are out over your skis, Danny.
By the way, I have never used the name Dick", as you wrote. If you don't like a truthful, honest review that's too bad, not "to" bad as you wrote to me. Your guys were slow and inefficient. I have used movers for over 40 years. Never saw anything so slow. They took TWICE AS LONG as your own employee said it would and longer than the high end of your estimate. Writing on the paper I signed that the high end of the estimate was $1,000 was a lie. No one ever mentioned $1,000 to me. Ever.
To say that I offered his wife vodka shots when i gave her my vodka as a gift, to say that I said things about her I never said, to say that I mistreat hard working people, and especially women, is DEFAMATION. He has never met me and knows NOTHING ABOUT ME. To defame someone with an unblemished, pristine long career is just sick. It is also LIBEL. I will be notifying Yelp. You got a bad review. Deal with it.
Don't attack the messenger because you don't like the message.
Show your guys how to use hand trucks. Every other mover used them. By the way, 148 people in the last 90 days wrote that my Yelp reviews were "Helpful". Also, call Contra Costa Senior Legal Services about me. They know me well. read more
