Complaint Review: Woroco Petroleum LLC Peter Frunzi Esq.

Before buying said gas station above at 325 Route 36N, I had been lied to with the intent to deceive me as to all financial aspects of the business. Basically I feel I was defrauded. The seller claimed to have sold me a "very lucrative business" that, in fact, was only yielding profits while a double canopy Woroco Gas Station only 2 blocks north was under construction and not functioning yet as a business. This double canopy Woroco station was under construction for 2 years prior to my purchasing of a single canopy Woroco station and had just opened for business in August 06.

It's true I saw this gas station there and open for business, but my grip is WHY wasn't I ever told about this situation. I conferred in person with the president of Woroco Petro along with the seller present in late September in the president's office in Sewarin , NJ. Nothing was mentioned to me about the newly constructed Woroco gas station located just 2 blocks up the road from me in Hazlet, NJ. Neither the seller nor Woroco Petroleum warned me of this.

The grand opening of this newly built Woroco double canopy gas station undoubtedly hindered the intake of my gross revenue substantially. To add insult to injury, the very same Woroco station, as mentioned, constructed a large convenience store on the site of their gas station in mid-November '06 which hurt my gross intake even more so. By adding the convenience store at their location they were able to take even more customers away from me.

The closing of my gas station was on 10/25/06 without the benefit of legal counsel and I was fully taken advantage of by signing contracts throw at me one at a time without even being advised by anyone at the closing table as to what it was I was signing nor that it would have been advantageous for me to seek counsel before all this signing occurred.

Personally, to me this Russian outfit is a very unscrupulous group of individuals. There have eye witness accounts that this Russian owned and operated station were changing their prices more than once in a 24 hour period. Reports were phoned in repeatedly to the local Weights and Measures Dept. but unfortunately they were not able to catch them in the act.

Also, it's been widely known that this company consistently hires illegal aliens (mostly Russian and Middle Eastern) whom they house in a large boarding house they own and operate on 10 South Holly Drive, Keansburg, NJ 07734.

There's much to be said in this complaint.

In January I consulted with an attorney by the name of Peter Frunzi, 248 Board Street, Red Bank, NJ 07701 who immediately told me I had a legitimate case against all parties concerned, i.e., the seller, the landlord, and Woroco Petroleum. He had no problem grabbing, at the speed of light, my $5000.00 retainer, but did virtually nothing for me in helping with my case. He did not file any legal action with the court nor issue subpoenas as he stated to me he would when we first met in January 07. He stated to me that he had intended to have everyone involved in this case sit at the table and discuss what was to be done and how we should go about resolving this matter while a Judge Clyne presided over this matter under a binding arbitration. This never came to be. Peter Frunzi just kept postponing the matter claiming he was waiting for my accountant to assess the damages involved.

Once finished by the accountant, I gave the damages report to Frunzi in early January 08. He pursed absolutely nothing until I was forced to call him myself on February 15, 08 to find out what he had now planned on doing for me to help me regain my nearly $400,000.00 in losses.

He insisted on giving me the run around. That we needed a forensic accountant, evidence (which I found out through another attorney was pure non-sense) and the cherry on the cake was that he admitted later to me that I had a virtually un-win able case. This attorney only turned out to be more unsavory than the devious, lying, unscrupulous con-artist parties I'd been dealing with all along.

I have all documents, contracts, bank statements, and receipts saved by my accountant and digital recorded phone messages.

If any attorney is interested in representing me in this case on a contingency basis please do not hesitate to e-mail me and we'll meet and discuss the finer points of this case. I've been told by several attorneys already that I do have a legitimate case here, but it would cost me a considerable amount of money (near $50,000-70,000 that I do not have) to litigate this matter.
