Michael E. Hendicks Hendricks, Hendricks & Shakes 4055 Nonchalant Circle South Colorado Springs, CO 80917 Dear Mr. Hendricks, This letter is in response to your letter dated February 27, 2001, in which you "respectfully request" that your client, Grand West Financial, be immediately removed from our web site, www.NorthStar-Sucks.com, because you feel our opinions as stated on the web site are "defamatory" to your client. In your letter, you cite "allegations" are made that Grand West Financial has "been engaged in a pattern of lies, deception, fraud, intimidation, and other criminal activities". This statement, as well as the other statement "alleging" that there is "an unprofessional and unethical relationship with NorthStar Builders", was taken out of context as presented in your letter. What you omitted was that the web site presents our opinions based upon that which has happened to us, the public records we have read, and what others have had to say. You omitted "It is our opinion" and "have what appears" from your earlier quotes. In any event, we feel we have more than adequate evidence to support our "allegations". Every incident that we have detailed has happened. Taken at their totality, we feel they present a solid foundation for our opinions as stated. We have not fabricated anything on that web site. And to specifically address two points you made in your letter: damages and escalation. We are curious as to how you will prove damages and from whence they originated. If there are losses, would it be because of a) our web site, b) your client's fiscal irresponsibility and threatening manner, or c) one of the many law suits pending against him? As for escalation, I believe it is accurate to say that an attorney has an ethical responsibility to refuse to represent a client who is pursuing a false or a fraudulent law suit. Before pursuing this any further, ask your client the following questions:
If your client answers "no" to any of these, he's lying. Take these questions, along with everything else, and you will see the same pattern we see. It is a cold hard fact of life that often the truth is defamatory. I would suggest you get past the first page of the website and see the substance of our complaints. Your client will not be removed from the web site. Should your client decide to pursue this matter, we are sure you will point out to him the hopelessness of winning this. We have too much documentation and too many witnesses. As the plaintiff, he will have to prove we are lying. An impossible task because we are not. And we will counter sue him and your firm for pursuing a frivolous and fraudulent law suit. As far as your suggestion to contact our attorney regarding this web site, we have gone over his head to the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the United States. We believe you will find that the Freedom of Speech adequately covers this website and its contents. Sincerely yours, |
