Ok, I hate to be humble. Per counsel, the net effect is Toad Allen kicked my ass. In turn, I kicked my developer and the general contractors arse. Clearly, it is indisputable my condo was built defectively. I should not have settled for chump change.
An attorney I respect suggested I kiss Tood Allen' s ass to keep my condo.
Details to follow shortly.
Finally, I love everyone. Even scumbag collection attorneys like Todd Allen.
Jesus told me to do so.

I was warned a long time ago, some attorney would rip me a new asshole. I never thought it would be a collection attorney named Toad Allen.
ReplyDeleteRespect is earned. Not bestowed by one's education or title. I concede Toad Allen kicked my arse.
Humbly yours, Thomas E. Scherer, writer and candidate for United States Congress.
On to bigger issues-making America a better place, plus all I want to do is go fishing.
Hell yeah, he kicked your arse, imagine if you were on the same side, bet you would hire him, hes a good attorney, no matter what you say....its time to Bow out gracefully now......
ReplyDeleteFirst, the deal is not over yet. And if he did kick my arse, it was only marginal. The reason I will probably concede is a matter of possible economic outcomes favor Todd greater than they favor me.
ReplyDeleteSure, I could drag out 20 or so cases, but at what cost. I can prove easily, that the association violated a Florida statute, 716.111. Many times. If I prevail on that, the fine is 50 bucks a day, now over around 300 days. So, I would only get around 15 grand, offset by HOA fees. These court cases on cases invested for me is way over 20k. So, the longer I fight, the higher the costs to keep going.
I am too old and have to meet with a neurosurgeon about spinal surgery. This surgery will result in me loosing the ability to function for quite a while. So, if I cannot function, type pleadings, the courts do not care. So, I am screwed. Not because of Todd per se, because of what life has delivered to me and I have to deal with the most rational way I can.
I talked to todd yesterday. Hopefully, we can work together on some kind of stipulated and structured settlement. I am happy. I kicked ass. Todd kicked some ass. So, to you whomever anonymous is, you do want to jack with me or Todd. We would both kick your ass.
Now in regard to Todd, he knew when he first was assigned to the case, I gave him respect for kicking BOA around a lot. I try to inspire Todd like I have been inspired. To fight for causes greater than yourself. To fight for humanity including making our nation a better place. I keep suggesting Todd he has a higher purpose in the legal profession than merely being a scumbag collection attorney. Todd made a mistake and he will fix it at the right time.

Me, I am old and sick of court. I have been doing court cases while Todd was watching Sesame St. in his pajamas. I asked Todd to step into my shoes and fight for people like I have been doing now for 17 years. At some point, one has to pass battles worth fighting to a younger person. So, I am kind of coaching Todd to fight, and fighting as a collection attorney is not noble and does not aid one's reputation in the legal industry, or in courts of law/.
Todd made a mistake going into collections. Pray for todd and when he starts fighting and choosing more noble work, he will find many more will love him, than the few do now.
Todd has things backwards. Just like I did. I transformed when I was 42 from making money to helping humanity. I got love and respect. I made more money for doing good work. But, who cares about money and property. There are things more important in life, called humans.
If you understand this, then if you listened, and already help humans in a noble profession doing what you love, then you do not have to worry every day about eternal damnation. You will be a \happy person every day knowing Jesus loves you the same as he loves me and Todd Allen.
The writer above also needs to put all of the many cases into perspective. Here, I had to endure 11 attorneys with five law firms. Now I pity them. Because I am the crocodile. Now the best attorneys did their research, were nice to me and got out very early at a very low relative cost in favor of their client.
ReplyDeleteSo, a brief recap. I took on a huge and rich developer, a giant construction company, two HOA associations. And to date, what has happened. The developer and construction company wisely settled. The developer defaults on their loan, probably as suggested by their insurer and gets as far away from the liability of 290 defectively built condos. What Todd did, was not got suckered into my domino theory-a legal strategy. Todd and I are both tenacious and do not quit until it is appropriate.
So, todd gets some money-I get respect. Who won? Depends on your morals.
Now some of us that have lots of court cases, have differing views on what is called a "win". At this stage of my life, my goal is focused on how many people does a particular case benefit.
ReplyDeleteNaturally, a case is a "win" when there is a substantial order issued by some judge or justice. This is my dream. To get an order from some judge that helps as many people as possible.
For example, that case I have before the Kansas Supreme Court could have a positive benefit for every homeowner in the state of KS. Now that is my dream and if a case I brought forward, impacts every homeowner in the state of KS in a favorably manner. Gets cited in other cases. That is a win in my book. In Todd's book, he looks at a win based on economics-money. And also based on his experiences, whether he gets on national TV again.
So all of us that do things in courts of law are always raising the bar on what constitutes a win. I am not going to be satisfiedm with myself until I prevail at SCOTUS. Got close in October 2007. I now have another chance to change our nation. I ask God for his help. God has a fate and destiny for me. I am not certain exactly how this will pan out. Seems at this juncture, God wants to go international and not limit myself to helping only 300 million Americans. God wants me to help billions. Hence, why God hooked me up with an Olymian from Tanzania.
What I am wondering is she to teach me, or am I to teach her? More than likely, we are to teach each other-bilateral. The purpose of God bringing us together is our mutual reward for both of us having worked so hard, in helping many.
Here is an example of some of the things my finance asks me.
ReplyDeleteWe went to a local hockey game. She asked me why there were no Africans on the hockey team, or in the stands. I told her to go ask her co-workers. They perpetuated a myth that hockey is a racist white sport. Now, I have to determine and explain this myth to my finance that hockey allows equal access to all.
She asked me another question. She asked me where the clause "white person" comes from. This is not a simple question.
So, a simple question can be very fundamental to us people here in America. Queen makes me look at us, Americans. And question why are we like we are.
Sometimes, it is very hard to explain to her our nation's history of racism and discrimination. She states it is not like this in her native country or in Europe. And she has been all over the world and does not understand our national history on these kinds of issues. So, by her fundamental questions, I become a better civil rights activist.
Here is a famous saying my finance has to explain to me. "Learn to eat with the blind." She finally explained this to me this weekend. First, I told to her not to come down at all. Which naturally she always does the exact opposite. So, this weekend, she states this saying means I am blind and do see the way she shows me she loves me. Well . . . what can I say. Being a relatively old dude, thinking factually someone might actually love me, is hard. As we age, believing someone loves of us, regardless of self, we have a hard time believing them.
ReplyDeleteSo, once again, finance wins 1 to nothing. I am blind a lot. I have a hard time believing anyone could love a wretch like myself. Therefore, I am blind. Can someone send me a prescription for love blindness? Or, should I just go with the deal and accept the fact someone other than Todd Allen finds me to have value worth loving?
I guess I am lovable. Todd Allen loves me. So does my finance. I can understand why Todd loves me, but what is the deal with my finance? Is she crazy? Does she not see the way I am? Therefore, love must be blind. Send cure asap.
I am tird of being blind.
