We were just talking about this suit the other day at Grumpy's. Thanks for the update.
for all the times I did not want to have jury duty, do I ever wish to be a juror for this trial. [edited by admin]
I wonder where we can find an update on this?
From what I understand the AG is pleased with how things are going. If the AG prevails, Kafka is looking at millions of dollars of fines, but we all know that he is the master of hiding money and shirking responsibility.
The Landmark reporter Bob Uphues went to the hearing and hopefully will print a story on the case. I'll do some investigating too and report back...
Thanks for the update. I will check The Landmark as well.
The Landmark did cover the story. Here is the link:

How frustrating, this could go on forever.
He is very good at what he does.
It is amazing that with the long history of litigation, there are still people who give this guy business. Even in town I see the signs in front of homes proclaiming "Father and Sons." Either the customers are too ashamed at having made a mistake or the attorney general is wrong. I think the former. Perhaps this web site could do a public service by encouraging those with "horror stories" to share them. There is no shame in being preyed upon. There may be some shame to letting others befall the same fate. Money talks. If there is no money...
Most charges dismissed:
