I am the Dr. Fisher referred to by Mr. Chris Kick, and I wrote the above information referring to my experience with Mr. Kick. I sued Chris Kick 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, $200,00.00 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 postjudgement 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. Kicks 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 [email protected]). Their experiences with Chris Kick are very similar to mine; work is promised, money is taken, some work is done, and Chris Kick dissappears. 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 worksmanship. 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, 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...

To; Whom it may concern:
Dr. Fisher has posted several different times on at least two sites, like Ripoffreport.com, , and alleges "I took a 20K deposit and did little work".
Dr. Fisher paid Houston Marine Construction a 5K deposit, not a 20k deposit as he alleges in his complaint.
Dr. Fisher paid an additional 15K for the material, when it was delivered.
With the remaining 5K Houston Marine Construction removed and hauled away (multiple truck loads) his existing boat house and drove 15 new 8x8 piling.
During this process Dr. Fisher proved him self to be very difficult to work with, to say the least. It was very clear to me that Dr. Fisher was out to get "something for nothing" .
Based on how phase 1 went I made the decision to make Dr. Fisher the first client I ever had to fire in 14 + yrs of business.
I have many current and old refereences, as well as very reputable business man that know these allegations are false and misleading.
Sincerely,
Chris Kick

Dr. William is apparently a fiction writer as well as phycision. A. Kim Conkey is my exwife and has nothing to do with nor does she profit from the business in any way. B. Of the 20K fisher gave Chris Kick or companies owned by Chris Kick over 10K was spent on material and well over 10K spent on labor and piledriving. The question is how much does William owe Chris Kick. When it became apparent that William had unrealistic expectations about every aspect of the project first and formost scheduling Fisher was fired. Sincerly, Chris KIck
