Jeff Morton, Jeffrey Morton Supreme Finishes Supreme Finishes Contractor Stole over $15,000 and fled the city Other
Jeff was recomended to me by a friend as he was working multiple jobs and seemed to be working a good crew and his son Adam came through for the initial walkthrough. That was the highlight of this situation.
I told Jeff that he had won the bid (he came in lowest), and immediately Jeff started asking about the deposit for the check. He would reach out multiple times a day and even drove to my house to pick it up so that he could "buy materials" so I provided the deposit on the job for $16,000 and he because a ghost almost immediately.
The renovation on my property was a full cosmetic overhaul, but Jeff only did 10-15 hours of work over the course of 3 weeks. He kept making excuse after excuse, and eventually my attorneys had to threaten him with a lawsuit. Jeff agreed he would pay back the difference owed, but of course he wrote 2 bad checks of over $5,000. I filed a pressed felony charges against him, which he then paid off half to the county after nearly 6 months of effort, and we haven't heard back from him since.
