I saw an ad in the yellow pages for construction manager and i contacted the company and spoke to the owner peter zarcone who said that he could manage my construction for $25,000.00 per home.
I found three lots and went into contract to purchase and i gave deposits to southway building corporation a total of $75,000.00 between september 12th and october 23rd of 2006 for blueprints, surveys and permit fees.
Mr. Zarcone applied for the permits and they were declined because his permit privileges were suspended because he completed a renovation job and never even got a permit.
When i found out the reason why the permits were declined i told him to return my deposit and he refused, instead he had his lawyer lewis dinkins send me a letter stating that i owed money to southway building corporation because i cancelled the contract.
I filed a suit against southway building corporation and the judge gave southway a default judgement against me for one million dollars claiming that I damaged his status in the community by filing a complaint with the attorney general's office. The next phase of the case is the punitive damage phase.
The contractor got a default judgement against me based on false testimony and the state attorney has refused to arrest this contractor, and I wrote to the governor to appoint a special prosecotor and the governor sent a letter saying that he will not second guess the state attorney.
I ask my attorney why this contractor is not arrested and my attorney say no one wants to prosecute Mr zarcone. Word on the street is Mr zarcone is the straw owner of southway building corporation and the real owner is a marion county public official.
When i went to court and southway's attorney saw that one of my witness was the licensing supervisor of the building department he filed a motion to block my witnesses claiming that they will be prejudicial to his client.
The judge then called a meeting of the attorneys in his chamber and about an hour later my attorney came out of the room and told me that they are getting ready to enter a judgement against me and I have to settle and the contractor will not settle unless I pay him $110,000.00 and that she has seen worst, and her husband works for the state attorney's office.
I got a new attorney from outside of town and he went through the papers that my former attorney filed and didn't find any reply from the judge on some of the motions and when he checked the court house file the motions were not in the file which meant that they were never filed. Word on the street is judge singbush and lewis dinkins had been friends fo many years.
