I discovered that one of their lawyers have filed an execution writ with misleading information to…read moreColumbia county Superior Court in a collusive move to unlawfully evict without due process. This follows an earlier allegation filed that can only be interpreted as slander, again with property management group, Auben Realty. I am therefore publicly stating that there was no breach of contract on my part but lies and omissions to mislead the court and I am now seeking legal; advice on reporting this conduct to the GA Bar. This individual, Mr. Padgett stated that I was in breach because the judgment stated the landlord should get an outrageous amount BUT the terms for the writ is not that at all but nonpayment of ANY, in short judgment OR not AND rent. I have done as order and Matthew Padgett told the court only the first part, the judgment, using that alone to suggest falsely that I did NOT deposit neither rent nor award and therefore it is ordered judge and sheriff, I should be evicted. No, HE should be DISBARRED for conspiracy to determine case outcome. Or is it that blacks abroad don't go law school too? He intentionally changes the ANY to AND then filed at close of business Friday. Still saw it. And it is ethical misconduct and prejudice. You have exploited the benefits given to you to ruin lives and I will not treat you any worse or better. It is despicable to allude to a superior court judge that she did not know what she said by suggesting otherwise while forgetting that you did NOT mention the little white lie in your FIRST filing for the writ. . So when was it an issue? When slanderous accusations were proven false or when you assumed you knew me better than I know myself when you never bothered to check first. You clearly do not care if the person is a protected class; have rights as well, or show moral compass. And I must pay YOUR fees???? you did the deed KNOIWING the condition and I will report the deed with the same vigor for my family. It is now provable why I am in court with this Realty and the lengths they will go to malign you for a quick buck. I can even post it if you like as well but you knew you were lying because you have only mentioned it when plan A backfired. Auben's day will come to answer why they charge an extra $25.00 to do nothing to tenants in their "benefit package' but you took an oath, then broke it with the inclusion/exclusion tactic. That is NOT law. It should be at minimum, contempt because it was repeated attacks on my character. You could forget GA Bar, they are never thorough enough. As a disabled person, your reprehensible action has no excuse but a coverup. 1. the 'receipt' 2. the service 3. rent order to pay OR 4. writ deception/conspiracy How many times has this been done to innocent families for corporate greed is not known but a change will come if maligning others maliciously continues by the guilty parties to coverup poorly maintained house with one hand and claiming a benefit package with the other. AKA extortion. Your trumped up allegations was the final straw because you should have corrected your conduct and chose to go the other way. I will NOT turn the other cheek with a move that suggest inferiority when repeated.

This was not a quick and easy situation, but they made it go right and the entire proceeded took around twenty minutes. It was obvious that they had their act together at the law firm. I have nothing but good things to say about the whole process. I like it when professionals are prepared to perform and it all goes without a hitch.
