Complaint Review: Davidson DAvidson & Kappel LLC - New York New York

It is years later and Mr. Maiorino is still haunted by these ridiculous, false accusations from a raving mad woman. After Betty filed her complaint, DDK filed their response which exposed the truth. Betty had no choice but to discontinue with her complaints and settle for a menial amount of money that was paid only because it would have been less than the cost of paying a lawyer to continue to fight. In the response, there are mounds of evidence showing: 1. Betty spent most of her day surfing the Internet, reading and responding to message boards, namely "The Real World". Keep in mind this is a 40 year old woman following and monitoring a show intended for teens. Betty's surfing activities were monitored by the network and DDK provided copies of her Internet activity as an Exhibit. 2. Betty used a number of aliases to get those special Columbia House offers of 10 CDs for a penny. BMG Music themselves sent us a copy of all the orders placed to the firm address and those she sent to her house. She placed numerous orders under different names, including: -Brad Parille -Kristine Santiago -Bette Perrila -Betty Parrilla -Betty Santiago Copies of the orders were also submitted as an exhibit. 3. Betty kept a workplace journal, and in it, she never once mentioned a single fact about sexual harassment or racial discrimination. In fact, she complained about being told not to socialize with Mr. Maiorino, the alleged harasser. 4. During her unemployment hearing, she stated that she quit, and was not fired. This was probably because her attorney advised her that if she quit, she could get more money for a discrimination claim. 5. Betty was often late and did not put in a full day's work. She would fail to use the office clock to punch in and punch out to hide her tardiness and excessive time spent away from her desk. ALL of the complaints she filed found no harassment or discrimination. As for her labeling of Mr. Maiorino as a sexual predator, it is absolute libel. A sexual predator is someone that seeks out and preys on victims. Anyone convicted of a sexual offense and classified as a sexual predator has to register with the state in which they live. You will not find Mr. Maiorino in ANY registration database anywhere in the country. Using the term child molester is even worse and again, child molesters serve time in jail and must register as a sex offender. Mr. Maiorino has not had to do either. Betty has never provided a case number for her alleged civil suit against him because none ever existed. The simple truth is that Betty heard through the rumor mill that Mr. Maiorino said she looked like a man. She got angry and retaliated when she was fired by falsely accusing him of harassment and putting these lies on this website. Mr. Maiorino is actively trying to get this report removed and seeking Ms. Parilla to sue her for defamation of character.

In response to SAl, New York, New York-THE HARASSER!! In response to your ignorant and misinformed comments-my various civil issues and investigations are presently OPEN! With the following City, State and Federal Agencies: Senator Hilary Rodham Clinton's Office-I rec'd a letter just last week assuring me that the investigation is ongoing. Attorney General Eliiot Spitzer Open Case-Same as above The NY City Bar Disciplinary Committee Contact: Investigator Kenny Van Lew The Unemployemnt Appeal Board Hearing Date: May 2002 The US Human Rights Division Sexual Harassment Unit Case: Open-I just rec'd a letter from Ms. Yearwood affirming that this matter is still being invesitgated. Contact Joyce Yearwood And, further, just to show how misinformed you are as to my former legal represenative-it was a women, not a man as you claim in your weak and futile rebuttal-she and I amicably went our seperate ways. Actually, she thought I could save my money and let the EEOC investigate the matter. It was not, as you state, because my matter was without merit. And, I have filed this complaint online so that others, your friends, family, business associates can see what a sad, shameful person you are. Not because I had no other recourse. If my case was as frivilous as you ignorantly imply, why then, are the foregoing agencies presently investigating them?? It has almost been a year since I complained to these agencies and the investigation is still ongoing. And, Sal, of course you would deny the civil suit you have pending for sexual misconduct with a minor. Unfortunaltely, you regaled half the office with your smug recounting of the story of how you took pictures in your hotel room with this child in uncompromising positions. I know that the suit is in New Jersey and I will provide a Docket number for same in the near future. You are a SMUG PIG. Nothihg more or less. And, although, it is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS I pay child support like many, many mothers do due to the fact that I had to leave my home under extreme circumstances. Are you ludicrously suggesting that any mother who pays child support is unfit?? Again, in your ignorance you are insulting thoussands of hard-working, law-abiding women. And further, I have FAITHFULLY and consistently paid my payments to my son. Now, that speaks VOLUMES about my character. You would know nothing about integrity or character so I will not even attempt to discuss that at length with the likes of you. CHILD MOLESTER and PEDOPHILE. Why don't you explain why all the females in your office are warned by THE PARTNERS themselves to stay away from you?? Maybe because they knew how unethical you are and didn't want another lawsuit. Why don't you explain why not one of the Support Staff will give you the time of day?? How come they all destest you includng the Partners of the Firm?. Why don't you explain why I have signed witness affidavits affirming your sexually depraved character and work ethics?? Why don't you explain about the unethical behavior which caused your firm to settle a racial discrimmination suit becuase you made racially degrogatory comments to a Indian-American associate at your firm and he sued the firm for racial discrimminiation. How do I know this?? Because, you again, went around your office laughingly retelling this story. It's hard to believe that you are an attorney in light of all the FACTS stated above. You are a discredit to your profession. And, as to my working with Desiree before. I did. We were never friends. We had a professional, working relationship. I was a Paralegal while she was an Accountant. We never socialized outside the office. I expected the same relationship here at this firm. This changed when I complained of your unethical and sexually harassing behavior, Sal. Desiree Whyte began retaliatory behavior against me which concluded in July 2001. Ms. Whyte assaulted me with racist words. And, that Dee is married to a white man is neither here nor there. This doesn't exempt her from being and saying racist remarks to others. So, please desist in attempting to tout her candidency for the Nobel Peace Prize. She made those insulting remarks because I am a Puerto Rican. And, in light of her experience she should've been more sensitive. In Conclusion, let me just add that all your rebuttals are WITHOUT MERIT. Your unfounded ramblngs are those of a desperate man who sexually, depraved nature has been unvieled. Anyone can check with the agencies above to confirm the veracity of what I claim. UNLIKE YOU WHO HAS PROVEN TO BE RACIST, CHILD MOLESTER AND SEXUAL PREDATOR!! Betty - New York, New York

The truth of this matter is that Betty is a disgruntled ex-employee who refused to do her job and poorly performed whatever few duties she actually did do. She was not fired, but stormed out of the office and did not return until the following day, after she had already been replaced with a temp. All of her cases and complaints have been dismissed and her attorney has refused to represent her further in a civil matter because he has realized that her claims are fabricated and without merit. These cases and complaints, which she claims to have pending, but have already been dismissed, are a matter of public record. Anyone interested in knowing the truth may contact the offices with which she claims to have cases pending, inquire about the matters of Betty Parilla, and find out that they have, in fact, been dismissed by the offices themselves. This is the truth as to why she has no recourse. If, in fact, Mr. Maiorino was in the situation that Betty claims, would he be facing a civil law suit or a prison term? Would a mother want to sue such a "SCUM", as Betty puts it, or want to have him arrested? Mr. Maiorino is not facing any law suit, and in fact, is currently practicing law. His record as an attorney, like every other attorney's record, is also a matter of public record and the truth may be found simply by inquiring with the State's Office of Attorney Ethics. As for Ms. Whyte, she is an African-American married to a white male and has been for over 20 years. Ms. Whyte was involved in an interraccial relationship at a most difficult time, over 20 years ago when interacial relationships were taboo and marriages were practically forbidden. She, obviously, is not a racist. In addition, Betty fails to mention that fact that she and Ms. Whyte were friends for seven years as co-workers and Ms. Whyte was the one who got Betty her job here. Why would Betty go work for someone she worked with before and knew for seven years if she was so horrible? I know nothing of the child supporet payment situation, but what I do know is that in NY state, as with most states, the father usually pays child support and custody is given to the mother. Only in the most extreme cases, where the mother is obviously unfit, will the father get custody and the mother have to pay child support. The fact that Betty Parilla pays child support speaks volumes in and of itself and is further evidence that she is unstable and of questionable character. A family court judge obviously thought so.
