The S/Ws sold and moved, Jan.2012
That leverage is gone.
It took months to see if they would continue to harass from outside this City
That would include calling in and trying to send the police here from outside the City.
It appears that leverage is also gone.
The S/Ws harassing and stalking leverage was hefty and effective.
Then we finally felt confident we had what everyone had all along in LHP.
A level playing field, without the leverage.
There was also a Mayoral change.
So, it seemed the right time to approach reimbursement and damages.
It was 50-50 that Howard would 'act up' again,but we had too much money already invested in him.There was also a problem worrying about law firms or attorneys we didn't know well flipping the Case for LHP.
So,we took the 50-50 chance.It started out enthusiastic,realistic and positive.
Then,he 'acted up'.He probably can't help himself.
But this was the last straw with us.
He isn't using the entire $3,500.00 retainer for that.
We now aren't in a really horrible,routine, modern horror story, under the gun. so to speak,as when we met him and really needed immediate assistance and he overcharged- $13,00.00 before Settlement and then adding half the settlement money to his billing.$7,500.00 He took approx.$4,000.00.
Case. No.01-011629(04)
Broward County Circuit Court
Broward County Circuit Court Judge Robert B.Carney
We had already paid $10,000.000 with Atty.Leshin the first six years. He did work at regular rates but then finally thwarted and flipped the Case for Atty.Yates.
The City and law enforcement thwarted and disregarded the Settlement Document.
We still had the problem with the S/Ws continuing, gloating, blasting,harassing, and stalking,etc., and taunting that they would and could, and did.We were still under a lot of intolerable pressure.
The letter approx.eight months after the Settlement Document to the City with the E. Bruce Johnson reply was $1,500.00.
So, Howard was at $18,500.00 with not a whole lot of intense work and we still had the problem.
All explained on the Website with Audio and the Blogs.
-Note:I called and Howard wanted more money.I called and emailed Howard, the Firm,and his assistant into five years complaining about the problem continuing.-
So, last month with a better situation here,we met with him, discussed the reimbursement and damages which he was very enthusiastic about,and paid him the $3,500.00 retainer
So this time, it was not a very good idea to 'use up' all the $3,500.00 retainer and say we were in arrearages for about $300.00. and he wanted more retainer money.
This was not a very good idea at all
The following emails ensued
Note: The initial meeting with Howard was Fri. April 18,2014 when he was paid the $3,500.00 and the issues were discussed and Howard was enthusiastic. A. Teschner was there at the table and was largely unimpressive and he kept complaining he wanted to go home and was noticeably not happy.I didn't think at the time he actually was an Attorney.I thought he was a disillusioned interning assistant.
When over five weeks went by and nothing was done, I called the Firm to ask if there was a problem and A Teschner got on the phone and said he was still searching for a law?!! What?! I called back and got Howard's recording machine and really complained not so much about the five week delay, but really about someone doing our Case that I wouldn't even hire to handle a traffic ticket who said it was taking five weeks to 'find a law' to use.I also said we've got over $30,000.00 and over ten years of our lives wrapped up in this and I had done a lot of work to get this far.
Also, A.Teschner said he had looked over the 20 pages of my Blog.What? He said he didn't know about the other two Blogs and the Website with Audio.
On the Friday we saw and paid him, Howard said he wanted the Website and Blogs on printed paper to be marked and used.This was on Friday and he wanted the printed pages there on Monday because he wanted to file something that week.That was a lot of work and a lot of printed pages.I emailed all the pages to LHP Staples to be copied and that emailing crashed LHP Staples twice because there was so much. But LHP Staples did finish and do a good job. Andy took time off from work and drove the printed pages to Boca, delivered on Monday as Howard had instructed. He had to use a dolly to get it all in with one trip and the receptionist told Andy where to put all that printed work.Now five weeks later, A.Teschner hadn't seen it and the legal assistant called to ask where it was and I called Andy who said where he was told to leave it five weeks ago and it was still there.
I also did tell Howard's legal assistant, that same day, the very same complaints stated above,and that I wanted to talk to Howard, who was in a meeting, where he remained until after closing. Later,early evening, Howard called,-our answering machine was on full volume- , and said,"You could at least pick up the phone." and hung up before we could get to the phone.
He later called back to say he was working on a letter.I really complained about the City and law enforcement disregarding the Settlement Document and wasn't it a civil rights violation to be harassed by the police for over a decade, while they enabled, protected and covered up for the S/Ws and themselves? So, he took that angle and shortened it into 'the letter'. The rest is history.$3,500.00 and over $32,000.00 history.
As stated above, the following emails ensued:

6-5-2014 .Howard, This is a basic question I keep forgetting to mention.Why were we charged $1,500.00 for the letter dated August 3,2006? That was done approx. 9 months after the Settlement Agreement. Thank you, Gail

I don’t understand your question. And I couldn’t even answer same because I don’t have billing records from 8 years ago.

6-5-2014 .Howard, This is a basic question I keep forgetting to mention.Why were we charged $1,500.00 for the letter dated August 3,2006? That was done approx. 9 months after the Settlement Agreement. Thank you, Gail
6-6-14.The Settlement Agreement was finalized and paid for.
About 8 months later, the problem was still intensely going on- with the S/Ws and the police and the City. They disregarded and thwarted the Settlement agreement.
And we wanted reimbursement and/or damages for the whole mess.
So you said that would be an additional $3,000, but you would send a letter out for $1,500. So, Andy paid the $1,500 for the letter.Then Atty. E.Bruce Johnson slammed it-see reply-and has probably regretted it since, as I posted it and sent it to the whole county when I later put up the website.He's still on my emailing list..
You decided not to proceed with the reimbursement and damages. Months later when the situation was still really bad, I talked to Randi and she said you wanted $3,000 and you would clean Lori's clock.
By that time,we were over $30,000 with the same mess so we put up that expensive (all that audio changed to digital) website to try to get help from anywhere.
Anyway, the question was just why was that letter $1,500? Not really a big deal.
I should call. This new AT&T emailing format is impossible.
I think the police are worried as they don't have any explanation except 'we do what we want!' The Schorr dynasty is over -new Mayor now. Any atty. the City talks to may by now just be fed up with the big mess the City made and may not want to stick their necks out for this mess
While discussing this, the legal act of suing, with Howard,among the many complaints stated and possible angles of procedure, I had said to Howard, Weren't our civil rights violated during that decade plus with all the harassment from the stalkers and from the police on their behalf and with many other things?
BELOW, MY INPUT INTO THE CONTENT OF THE LETTER .HOW MUCH 'RESEARCH' DID HOWARD REALLY HAVE TO DO?
6-10-14.Andy just dropped this letter off. He wants to discuss this letter tonight.My suggestion below may be unnecessary, already implied, or wrong for this letter.I'm sending it to you to look over.I really like the packaging of the issues
Hi. Just got it Like it.What about something, if even vaguely, addressing damages and reimbursement for the ENTIRE decade plus of abuse, harassment. negligent, obstruction of justice/evidence, slander, etc.,etc., from the police and the City?
The police and the City deliberately thwarted and disregarded the Settlement Agreement thereby continuing to nullify any way to stop the S/Ws and their cops. But that was after 6 years of heavy duty abuse. Shouldn't the City and the police be liable and suiable for the ENTIRE decade plus?Did this letter already address this ENTIRE decade- in concept or innuendo, for damages, or is this letter just addressing after the Settlement Agreement?Did I miss that?Does this letter raise the issue or will it raise the thought process that the police and the City are on the hook for the ENTIRE period?And should that issue be raised, even vaguely, in this letter?I am aware of course that a justified complaint has to be correctly formulated and that is not my forte.I am just suggesting this. I may have missed the underlying objective and point and don't want to undermine a necessary process toward the goal.

6-2-14.Reporters have been anxiously waiting to see what kind of a response LHP would try to use for all this. LHP has been dodging all questions about this.There isn't any objection now with giving them the correspondence,-latest with City- is there? Howard has said I could give everything to the reporters.The City and City attorneys might have a hard time dodging the reporters now.One reporter favoring LHP privy and articles has specifically been not covering this, which has been a little too obvious. I finally complained about this to the other reporters,Blogged on www.LHPproblem2.blogspot.com -last page,last items
7-2-14.The latest correspondence must be in error.Howard would not expect thousands to be paid for the present results. He wouldn't pay it.Andy and I do not want to present a weakness to the opponents, - all involved parties presently worried Thank you.
7-2-14. Preliminary Assessment: Orner fees

7-2-14. Preliminary Assessment: Orner fees
17,000.00 Settlement Agreement, 11,12- 2005/ Excessive/Should have been half that
$1,500.00 letter, 8-3-2006/ Excessive /Should have been less than half that
$3,500.00 letter, 6-17-2014 /Excessive/ Should have been less than half that
Should be a remainder to continue,not a bill owing
High fees do not reflect high maintenance
7-3-14.In the discussion regarding this current aspect of this decade plus situation, Howard said this was a $7,500 case, but he would do it for $3,500, with a filing fee of $500 if it went to trial.I thought that was because the original $17,000/Settlement Agreement and $1,500/ letter were high.Howard did say I should have called him when there was a big problem enforcing the Settlement Agreement instead of complaining to the Judge in a layman's manner, and I told him I did call him several times, but he wanted an additional $3,000.But by this time, we were way past $30,000 with the problem still continuing, so I put up the expensive website and started wide audience emailing which I put in the Blogs.The S/Ws and the City's advantage was to make this too expensive to fight back.
Re:Andy did not pay you $3,500.00 to write one letter.
Howard, Andy did not pay you $3,500.00 to write one letter.
No one would pay you $3,500.00 to write one letter.
No one would pay you $3,500.00 to write one letter with an almost $20,000.00 history in back of it for very little work.
You just ripped him off.
This deception and greed are disgusting.

HELLO,HOWARD SAID I COULD GIVE THE LETTERS-LEGAL WORK TO THE REPORTERS,as they wanted to know how LHP would respond to the decade plus situation.LHP hasn't and wasn't responding.This went out with the documents sent to Cirullo, but not Cirullo's reply to study the documents.Below are some of the email recipients-my standard list.The list isn't complete as this new emailing format is impossible. I'll try to edit up the list. People will be calling LHP about this latest emailing

Have a good day.
