I must say Mr. Thomson
has some very short sighted friends and supporters. They shout from the
sidelines thinking they are helping when they are doing the opposite.
Easy for them to do when its not their houses that are on the line. Also,
these communications give us evidence to support a defamation action
against Mr. Thomson, should we decide to take that step (which he is making
harder and harder for us not to do). His friends would better serve him
by providing financial assistance. I suppose its easier to vent their ill
informed opinions.
I have been willing to
negotiate with Mr. Thomson to come to a reasonable solution for both
sides. Unfortunately, he has chosen to communicate and circulate events
and developments to people who are not directly involved. I have asked
him to discontinue broadcasting of untrue and misleading defamatory comments
about our firm and it seems he has chosen not to do so. I asked him to
keep our negotiations between the parties involved, and he has chosen not
to. Now we are getting emails from others who I do not seem to have the
basic understanding we are willing to discuss ways to resolve this
matter, and that if they harass us, we could change our mind about doing so.
This is his last
notice. Please let him know that if he does not immediately remove all
his web site material about our firm, and its lawyers off the internet
and stop circulating our emails forthwith to persons who are not necessary
participants in this discussion (like Mr. Fisher), we will cease any
consideration of negotiating and proceed through the courts without further
discussion. He has 24 hours to get his web site off line and to take the
steps necessary to ensure his friends don’t carry on for him. No
further transmissions of our emails and letters to others will be tolerated.
If we get one more email like this, we will cease discussing
settlement and proceed to collect the money the Court has determined we are
entitled to. I will not bother scheduling an appointment with
you or discussing anything further until www.ourcourtssuck.com and the
information on it is off the net.
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Sommery:
Thousands of people in
I am appalled at your controlling and
threatening statements...
"I
wonder what you were thinking while you were carrying on your advertising
campaign, your rant against our firm, etc."
"Also, I don’t
accept the fact you are involving persons other than your advocate at
interior health."
" Stop
involving others not directly involved, or I’ll stop the
discussion."
"We recommend you
keep a low profile if you want to work towards a resolution."
Why your hypocrisy when
you are involving many others at your disposal then threaten Mr. Thomson for
doing so.
This kind on control and
threats give lawyers a very bad name.
It is the general
opinion in
No one wants to do
business with a law firm that one cannot trust.
Now
The firms of Doak
Shirreff will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars of business over the
years.
Mr. Hardwick and you are
shooting yourselves in the foot by not concluding this matter expeditiously in
a fair & humane manner.
I encourage you to
conclude this matter for all involved.
Regards,
K. Fisher
