Chris Kick Sued, Courts Award Dr. Fisher $260, 000.00 for Deceptive Trade Practices
AUTHOR: William F. Fisher, MD - Seabrook (U.S.A.)

I am the Dr. Fisher referred to by Mr. Chris Kick in other Ripoff Reports. Mr. Kick took $20,000.00 from me and after a few days work disappeared with my money. Many other individuals have been defrauded by Chris Kick (aka Knute Chris Kick, Chris Conkey, etc.), and their experiences are well documented in other Ripoff Report articles under his name, as well as Houston Marine Construction, Deck & Gazebo Design, Shoreline Construction, and others. Other items on Chris Kick can be found in such websites as the Consumer Complaint Bureau. I sued Chris Kick and his many aliasis in the 113th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas on July 20th, 2009 for Fraud, Breach of Contract, and Deceptive Trade Practices. This case is recorded as:
CAUSE #200850695
WILLIAM F. FISHER V. HOUSTON MARINE CONSTRUCTION AND CHRIS KICK, AKA KNUTE CHRIS KICK IN DISTRICT COURT 113TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS There I was awarded $27,380.73 in actual damages, $200,000.00 in exemplary damages, $4,500.00 in attorney's fees, and $12,500.00 in other penalties. In addition the 113th District awarded me $1, 312.50 in prejudgement interest, and a post-judgement interest of $11,659.66 per year until the judgement is paid in full. The total amount due by Mr. Chris Kick is currently $260,010.22 as of 11-01-2011.
For the past several months, quiet preparations are being made in cooperation with law enforcement to seize Mr. Kick's assets, and the assets of his wife, in order to partially satisfy this judgement from the Court.
In addition, I have been in communication with ten (10) other individuals who also claim to have been defrauded by Chris Kick, and they have given me permission to use their names (email me at (((ROR Redacted)))). Their experiences with Chris Kick are very similar to mine; work is promised, money is taken, some work is done, and Chris Kick disappears. Together we have filed a criminal complaint alleging Criminal Fraud on the part of Mr. Kick.
Finally, Mr. Kick claims to have installed "15 new 8X8 pilings". Photographs submitted to the Court clearly show nothing of the kind, and all but 2 of the ones he did install had to be straightened by the excellent company that I hired to correct Chris Kick's shoddy workmanship. Absolutely no debris was hauled away by Mr. Kick, as photographs also submitted to the 113th Judicial District Court will attest.
In summary, the 113th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas has found Chris Kick to be guilty of Fraud and Deceptive Trade Practices. At least ten other individuals in this area share this view. Mr. Kick is a dishonest man, and my advice would be to use a reputable contractor. As a start, at least hire someone who has a telephone number. Chris Kick has you send him your number by email, and will only call you back on from a "Call Blocked" number. He will NEVER give you his telephone number. This should be the first red flag...
