My father married a sociopath, Tina. She impacted my relationship with my father. She manipulated…read moremy father and separated us. She was an alcoholic, used hard drugs in the past, and drove my dad to death via mental and elder abuse. Tina is a thief. She invited her brothers to live at our business in order to use them as pit bulls. Tina had convinced her ex-mother-in-law to leave her everything, despite her ex-mother-in-law having a grandson from her deceased son's previous marriage. My dad gave her business shares. Tina scared people. As my dad was on life support, Tina asked me what I was planning on doing with the family business. I, my husband, and my brother talked to her, thinking that we could work things out. Within the first week of my dad being deceased, her brothers threatened my husband at the business. My husband nor brother never returned to the business. We lost revenue and Tina continued to steal business monies unabated. My husband took the threat case to court, and Tina's brother pleaded guilty. During this same time frame, we also appeared at an ongoing case that my husband had against Tina herself. She had assaulted my husband. Unfortunately, Judge Wijewickrama gave her a slap on the wrist. We were stupid enough to tell Tina how to proceed when she did not appear in court the week before the slap due to my dad's hospitalization. She took our advice and used our business funds to pay her legal fee for failure to appear. Um, I thought she would use her own funds. Seriously, without my knowledge at the time, she also used my business funds to hire a lawyer for her basic assault charge. In essence, we paid for her defense. Tina began to sell off the business property without our permission. What I find interesting is that she paid life insurance premiums for her brothers. Weird, right? She took out large sums of cash at all times, especially after my fathers's death. (My father refused to give us the password for the business account, thus we were clueless as to what was going on, until we just asked at the bank.) Add embezzlement to the list, please. We tried to evict Tina and her bros from our business premises with a lawyer. That action failed. We fired our lawyer. Tina began to tell the community that we were bad people. And some people believed her. That scares me, too. Somehow, this lowlife always eludes justice. Until you hire Mr. Samuel Hyde. After I had fired our deficient lawyer, I emailed several local lawyers. None of them would take our complicated case. We visited a past lawyer to obtain a receipt. We then went into Mr. Hyde's upstairs office on a whim. His office is beautiful yet homey, a tough balance to capture. Mr. Hyde took our case and did an amazing job. It would take me hours to record all the details here, but he helped us separate from Tina, sell our business and property, and protected us from Tina. He made sure that she was held accountable for her property theft. He worked with her lawyer when we had to buy her share of our house off of her. How terrible is that? Mr. Hyde advised me to not follow through with a lawsuit against Tina for her abuse of my father. She killed him slowly. He did smoke, but I find it strange that neither he nor Tina sought healthcare when his cancer returned. (I found out that it had returned when my dad was on life support.) I did nothing for him while he was alive, so I. too, am accountable. I was too afraid for my family's safety to report her abuse. I called the abuse hotline after he died; I was told it was then a police matter. I was still too scared. Anyway, Mr. Hyde advised me well. A lawsuit is costly, both emotionally and financially. Karma has caught up with her somewhat. I do not know if it is legal for me to state details, so I will not. A woman that tells a family member that her husband's chemo therapy "makes him smell funny" and tells a business employee how my dad ran in circles when he was having his heart attack is not a good person. Heed that knowledge to avoid future pain and lawsuits. Back to Mr. Hyde, as it seems that I reviewing Tina more than I am reviewing his fine counsel. I just do not want this to happen to anyone else, the details are relevant, and this is therapy for me. Sam also tried to get a larger portion of my father's ashes for me, but Tina would not comply. She also did not comply to at least one signed order written up by all of our attorneys. (Another involved specialty attorney cracked me up, because he thought my dad was alive. He took the maximum fee from us after forcing us to decide on a hasty property sale price.) Despite everything, Mr. Hyde did a fantastic job. He is very personable, rational, and down to earth. He handled Tina quite well, seeing what he was up against. He was the only attorney intelligent enough to handle our case. He is very ethical, follows the law, and does not take overly large sums of your money. He works hard and is truthful. He is simply the best.
