In 2003 our company licensed Globie product rights to an attorney (for $5,000.00) at the Jones Waldo law firm in SLC, Utah. Its the oldest firm in Utah and very a prominent law firm.
Months later the license agreement was terminated due to a conflict of interest. Mr. Ottis & Globie were represented by Jones Waldo along with co - counsel of Nebraska law firm Dwyer Smith, Christopher D. Curzon.
Mr. Ottis paid the $5,000.00 back to the attorney and retained their counsel.
Months later Globie negotiated a multi - million dollar contract with a Christian Academy in Utah. A preliminary written agreement was drafted by Jones Waldo and Dwyer Smith and signed by all parties. The principle on the contract for the Christian Academy, Chris Crowder paid $21,500.00 by check to Dwyer Smith in Nebraska for the license agreement with Globie.
Crowders check bounced and Dwyer Smiths held Mr. Ottis responsible for the Crowders bad check? Really unethical! Mr. Ottis asked for the check to file charges against Chris Crowder and hopefully get his money back but, Dwyer Smith said they had lost the check. Its a violation for an attorney to discard or destroy documents in client files.
The Christian Academy breached the entire contract leaving Globie with major debts, time losses and outstanding loans used to produce products to facilitate the pending contract.
The documents used to secure funds for the products were provided by Jones Waldo in conjunction with the Dwyer Smith in Nebraska. Two years Later Mr. Ottis was later charged with Felony Security violations as a result of using these documents as directed by the law firms. Neither firm defended him or came to his side for their wrongdoing of their MALPRACTICE!
Mr. Ottis paid off the notes in full, paid fines and accepted misdemeanor charges. Actions are pending against both Jones Waldo and Dwyer Smith as a result of this recent event. We are owed a high price for these damages!!!
This posting is a WARNING to people who may be considering the hiring of either Jones Waldo in Utah, or Dwyer Smith in Nebraska.
