Lori Culbertson: I'd like them better if they did their job and went after people who violate PROTECTIVE ORDERS.

pp poopoo: Curious. If you are arrested on a technicality and then your wife goes through a humiliating class, no two of them, and then the state' attorney refuses to drop charges, even though the wife requested the charges be dropped? What does that say about the state's attorney in this county? I truly hope to turn my case into the biggest media circus possible to help get out of this situation and help others in the future who are also dealing with similar issues. My wife hated the classes, and felt humiliated, only to be told that her humiliation was for NOTHING! Victims! Do not take the classes, for if you do you will be victimized again like my wife, by none other than the prosecutors!!!!!!! It's a free country right? Then my opinion matters, and thus should be respected.

Susan Lattner: We hired Joe Langerak and Chris Wischer for a simple case involving an HOA violation with the neighbors pool construction. We first hired Chris Wischer to represent us for a Variance and rezoning hearing. Docket VAR-2020-074 and NO APL-2020-002 (Also televised). Chris failed to appear on time missing 90 % percent of our hearing. Due to this Chris failed to advance our position. In order to protect our home value we felt it necessary to file suit. Chris invoiced us for $19,585. Twice the amount quoted. Later we found out we were never informed of our right for judicial review.We hired Joe Langerak for the litigation who made our case far worse than imaginable. Joe was rude and disrespectful often yelling at us if we spoke our story of truth. Whenever we spoke of the many lies the opposing contractor was telling us, Joe would yell "Don't go there!" "That man has an excellent reputation!" When we spoke of only trying to protect our home value Joe would yell " You have no education or authority to speak on that subject and would not be allowed to have an opinion!". Joe constantly controlled every aspect of our trial and got us to drop our many issues saying "Trust me or you will lose!" Every meeting I would bring my file and take notes. Joe told me I would not be allowed to bring my file of documents and supportive evidence to the trial.During our deposition and trial the contractor claims to not have need a permit to construct a wall that is over 5' 5"tall. I questioned Joe and said I couldn't believe that was true. During our survey I requested a height measurement and Joe refused. After our trial I called Shannon Begeman with the Building Commission and found anything over 4ft requires a building permit. A building inspector visited the site and Elpers was fined.During our trial Joe left out many important facts, architectural plans and photos. We have two letters of support from former HOA Presidents, one being an Engineer. Both Presidents agreeing that the neighbors were in violation. Joe did not use this important information. Joe was aware of many other homeowners, an HOA Treasurer, my brother in law attorney/Judge who all supported our case and we should have used them as supportive witnesses, but did not. Unbeknownst to us Joe used the opposing contractor as our "expert witness" damaging our case. During the trial Joe asked the Defendant to read aloud the bylaws. The Defendant misread and jumped out of order while reading. Joe never corrected him allowing him to come up with his own interpretation. During my testimony Joe handed me a document to read which was completely illegible. There were many distorted documents used in our case. We provided clear legible documents and can only conclude this was intentional or careless. Joe also neglected to inform the Judge of our absolute right clause.For the post trial brief we asked them to focus more attention on the free standing walls, corner shower, benches, doors plumbing and electrical. Again Joe failed to bring this into our brief. The exhibits and photos that were submitted were not approved by us nor supported our case. Joe told us he would use a Building Committee approved plan and he did not. Instead Joe used a fake inaccurate plan. We requested to see the final brief and we're never given the opportunity. It is now obvious we were set up to fail.Joe Langerak kept us uninformed and delayed getting information to us in a reasonable amount of time.In November 2020 we requested a letter of Engagement several times, it did not come till March 17, 2021 the day of our trial. In this contract it basically says " We waive our rights to any conflicts of interest even if we don't sign this contract".We were told there would be monthly billing there was not. We received the first initial billing of $19,585 but did not receive any more invoicing till May of 2021. Total billing came to over $130,000. After several complaints we are still in dispute. We feel our case was handled terribly and feel future clients need to be warned!Sincerely,Susan Lattner
