Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, we would like to know your view on the matter.] Please allow m to say Attorney [redacted] as to your stability, it is only their belief that you have been unstable and irrational when speaking with them on several occasions concerning the matter I am addressing with the Revdex.com. Your client(s), Ronald and Marlene [redacted] removed my name from my Deed illegally, forging my name and submitting it to the Lake County Courthouse in Illinois, where they have recently said as of late last week that it does appear to be a forgery and has been submitted to their office 'only' when someone is attempting to pass it through without it being noticed. Relating to my close to sixty thousand dollar deposit, all of which was, is, mine, Ronald and Marlene [redacted], your clients, submitted a written statement to the court in attempts to win their lawsuit brought on by myself by my attorney Daniel [redacted], that my deposit was actually their money and not mine. You, attorney [redacted], are aware the entire deposit was mine and yet you continued to represent them even though we are related, whether we get along or not is a separate matter, you have assisted, and are assisting Ronald and Marlene [redacted] in stealing from me. Again, attorney [redacted], you should be ashamed of yourself knowing they are stealing from me and assist them in doing so. Quite frankly, for several reasons, it is my opinion these matters are a Revdex.com matter as it relates to your practice. In your reply, you stated to the Revdex.com that you were only forwarding mail as it relates to the property taxes, which is a lie, as not once, but twice I received OPENED tax bills sent to my home from you Attorney [redacted] asking in your writing that I pay them. Both times, I immediately contacted my attorney Lance C. [redacted], who to this day has never received a letter, copy, email, or telephone call as it relates to you and your client Marlene [redacted] asking me to pay the property taxes, despite having all of attorney [redacted]'s contact information. As it relates to the stopping of paying the mortgage and town home dues, both yourself and your client(s), Ronald and Marlene [redacted] were made well aware in advance by my attorney Lance C. [redacted] that if I was not to be given the Deed to my home, [redacted], immediately, all mortgage and town home payments were going to stop being made. Not once, but twice, including recently where you have disappeared at the last minute with no further contact, the Deed was not provided to us despite numerous attempts made both by myself and Attorney [redacted]. As you were told by both myself and Attorney [redacted] in December of 2015, if the Deed was again not going to be given to us by you and your client Marlene [redacted], I was going to take my attorney Lance [redacted]'s advice and walk away from the property as Ronald and Marlene [redacted] in doing so removed my name from the Deed and the mortgage, as Ron, which you are well aware not only was an accountant but also in mortgage banking and secured the loan for my property. Attorney [redacted] stated, they want it that bad, they can have it as my name as a result of the two of them is no longer on any documents relating to my ownership and can and does not affect my credit in any way, only Marlene's, as you are well aware the property is now in foreclosure. In closing, let me say this. I have enough sense and brains to not get involved with family members relating to such a matter, unless in a positive way, if that could of ever happened to mediate between the two parties as best I could. something I would not do attorney [redacted], is enable my client(s), Ronald and Marlene [redacted], who were my parents, steal my home from me and assist them in doing so, along with committing fraud, lying to the court, along with a number of other matters most attorney's would not tolerate from their client, let alone it being done to their son. Aside from myself, if I were to ever hear an attorney were to allow such a thing, or encourage Attorney [redacted], which you have done, it would be unfathomable. People live in peace who have earned it. I would like to again thank the Revdex.com for allowing me to address such a sensitive matter. Thank you. 
Regards,
Heath [redacted]

About the only thing which is correct is that Mr. [redacted] and I are related. His mother is my second cousin. He and I never met in my present office. We did, however, meet at a prior office located at [redacted]. I moved from that office in 1999. He came to discuss a business...

concern not related to this complaint. He referred to individuals with whom he was doing business as <Word Rejected>. I asked him to leave my office and he did. We never met on business again. We never discussed the situation with his grandmother and the house other than I may have advised him to obtain an attorney. I had no involvement whatsoever in any of the occurrences in his complaint until the last sentence. I was not involved whatsoever in all the years from the purchase nor was I involved in any of the issues raised. I did not assist his grandmother or parents whatsoever in the purchase or any of the issues subsequent thereto. I am aware that he sued his parents subsequent to the purchase  of the Gurnee property but was not involved. I understand nothing came of his suit. I did become involved once Mr. [redacted] failed to make his condo payments on the Gurnee property as well as the mortgage payments, resulting in a foreclosure action and his being removed from the property due to his failure to make condominium payments. Illinois law allows a condominium association to remove owners while they are delinquent in paying condominium fees. He has also filed complaints against his parents with no result. I have recently spoken with several attorneys about the deed he mentions. I told the last attorney that a deed made no sense since the property is in foreclosure and is underwater to the extent of approximately $200,000. The attorney was going to speak with mr. [redacted]. The attorney never got back to me. I had never agreed to provide a deed because I have no right to do so. In discussions with at least two attorneys on his behalf, there never was an agreement and they understood that any agreements the attorneys might reach(though there were none), were subject to client approval. As far as not responding to his contact, I did not as he always had a lawyer and I would advise the lawyer of his direct contact, pursuant to rules of legal ethics. To be clear, I NEVER contacted him.

This is getting out of hand.I cannot believe you would take this ranting diatribe seriously. This is not a business complaint. This is a tantrum concerning Heath and his parents.As he notes he has filed a number of complaints through the years, none of which has resulted in any contact from any of the agencies he references and his parents. With respect to my stability, I have no objection if you would desire to come to my office to see for yourself. Furthermore, I would be more than happy to sign release so you could speak to my doctors or Judges before whom I appear, some for many. many years. I will give you carte blanche to speak to whomever you may wish to speak. To show what kind of son Heath has been, he has continued litigation and complaints against his parents though given, as he admits in his initial complaint, $60,000 to buy the property referenced. I was not involved in any of this. I have no recollection whatsoever of ever speaking with Mr. [redacted] who supposedly claims I am unstable. I already explained that the most recent discussions I had were with Attorney [redacted] resulted in his not responding after I questioned Heath's pursuit of the property especially considering the pending foreclosure action since heath stopped making mortgage and tax payments and the fact that this property is deeply "underwater." Mr. [redacted] was going to discuss this with Heath and get back to me. I haven't heard from him since. Pursuant to my earlier response, I have not acknowledged Heath's direct attempted contacts with me since he had legal representation. As a matter of fact, when contacted by him by mail, I would forward the envelopes unopened to his attorney.Lastly, I find a sentence in this new addition to the complaint most telling. I quote: "My hopes are that in some way letting both friends of theirs and our family members know the treatment I received from both Ron and Marlene(his parents) contributed to him taking his life comforts me." How sad but I could not describe Heath better. I think the best advice you could give Heath is to drop all this stuff, leave his mother live in peace and to go on with his own life.
