FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Jackson Hunter Morris & Knight LLP fights back against source of multiple erroneous and defaming internet postings.
After thorough investigation into finding out the true identity of the anonymous individual posting erroneous and factually inaccurate, slanderous, and defaming information about Jackson Hunter Morris&Knight LLP (hereinafter "JHMK") with the cooperation of several of the websites where these postings were initiated, in addition to JHMK's hiring of a private investigator to locate the source of these postings, JHMK has concluded their investigation and determined the following:
The group of individuals responsible for these postings were former disgruntled employees of the defunct Nelson Gamble & Associates (hereinafter "NGA"), Johnny W. Pettyjohn, Alejandro (Alex) Reyes, and Steven Wiggenhauser, in conspiracy with New Century Solutions, Inc. (hereinafter "NCS"), a competitor of NGA, located at 25391 Commercentre Drive, Suite 250, Lake Forest, California 92630 and having the telephone number of [protected]. Based upon information and belief, NCS is wholly owned by Reyes cousin, Daniel Reyes. The three aforementioned individuals stole confidential company and client information from NGA, and proceeded to contact hundreds of the then existing and prior clients of NGA, directing those clients to cancel the services they had contracted NGA for, asserting that NGA was fraudulent, in efforts to steal those clients from NGA, and sign them up for services provided by NCS. This same group of individuals are believed to be responsible for the posting of over one hundred internet based complaints, comments, and blogs containing slanderous and defaming information about NGA, and, over thirty new postings beginning on October 13, 2011 and thereafter about JHMK. The content of these new postings about JHMK is identical to a complaint posted about NGA nearly eighteen months ago by an "anonymous" individual. The crimes these individuals have committed are continuing to occur, as JHMK continues to be notified by several of their clients that they are being contacted by employees of NCS, notably, by an Emmanuel Garcia, at telephone number [protected], whom is mailiciously ill-advising them to contact the Federal Trade Commission and the Orange County Sheriffs Department to report purported fraudulent activities purportedly conducted by JHMK.
JHMK adamantly denies any and all allegations contained within these erroneous postings, and, as a predecessor in interest to NGA, is in the process of vigorously pursuing legal action against the named perpertrators. JHMK states that a copy of the civil lawsuit filed against the individuals/company named above will be made publically available immediately upon its filing in the Superior Court of California, Central Justice Center in Santa Ana, sometime late next week. In an interview with JHMK's President, John Legge, he stated, "we will not tolerate this disgusting and harmful activity any longer" and JHMK "has every intention of seeking every legal means of recourse available." JHMK intends upon suing for the following proposed causes of action under California law, and others, if applicable: Defamation of Character, §12-1:00 Libel, §12-3:24; §12-2:00 Slander, §11-1:21 Breach of Contract; §11-9:00 Unjust Enrichment; §8-1:00 Intentional Interference With Prospective Economic Advantage; §8-7:32(d) Conspiracy; §8-7.00 Conversion; §8-3:00 Unfair Competition Under Business & Professions Code §17200; §2-1:22 Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress; Exemplary Damages; Punitive Damages, and for temporary and permanent Injunctive relief. JHMK is requesting an award in excess of $10, 000, 000 in damages.
