Goodway would like to apologize to any customers for which this may cause alarm. This customer's allegations were completely false and Goodway Landscape was cleared 100% of any wrongdoing in all areas where this client falsely accused Goodway Landscape of violating any laws, rules or otherwise. Gregory Mandell submitted a false report to Ripoff Report in 2006 citing invalid "codes" and actions that he accused Goodway Landscape of violating. The State of California, City of Hayward and County of Alameda all found Goodway Landscape to be in total compliance of any and all civil and building codes for landscaping and no wrongdoing whatsoever for the payment collection methods used (of which Gregory Mandell signed the contract and agreed to before submitting a progress payment), misrepresentation of work or any other allegations made here by Gregory Mandell regarding Goodway Landscape. A full report is available under Goodway Landscape's License #824650 showing that Goodway was cleared of any and all wrongdoing in any and all aspects of Gregory Mandell's accusations. a.) Goodway did not violate any "sloping", "civil" codes or otherwise (the work was 100% within code.) b.) Goodway did not falsely collect payments that were not pre-approved by Gregory Mandell. c.) Goodway did inform Gregory Mandell that the concrete photos were of "wet" concrete so he could see the detail better in a photograph. d.) Goodway attempted to correct any issues with the landscape to which physical and legal threats were made if Goodway returned to the property. The client never allowed Goodway Landscape to return to the job site although Goodway was 100% willing to do what it took to correct issues, if any. Goodway Landscape's attorney presented Gregory Mandell with a potential counter-suit for Libel (for which he was supposed to correct this posting, in the least.) In addition, Gregory Mandell has still not paid the several thousand dollars owed for the completed project. It was discovered that Gregory Mandell was never in a financial position to fund this project through completion and these falsified allegations were submitted to deter further payment collection.

EVERYTHING I WROTE IN MY COMPLAINT STATEMENT WAS A REPRESENTATION OF MY PERSONAL VIEWPOINT AND MY PERSONAL OPINION.
THE STRUCTURE OF MY COMPLAINT STATEMENT WAS TO PRESENT FACTS AND THEN TO OFFER MY OPINION AS TO WHAT THESE FACTS MEAN FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT.
I AM NOT A LICENSED ATTORNEY AND THEREFORE, THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT MY LEGAL INTERPRETATIONS OF THE FACTS MIGHT BE INCORRECT.
IN AREAS OF MY COMPLAINT STATEMENT WHERE I MADE A SUGGESTION THAT MR. ZIMA'S ACTIONS WERE CRIMINAL IN NATURE, THIS IS MERELY MY PERSONAL OPINION AND NOTHING MORE.
ONLY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION CAN MAKE SUCH A DETERMINATION.
FURTHERMORE, AS OF THE DATE OF THIS WRITING, MR. ZIMA HAS NOT BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF ANY CRIMINAL WRONGDOING.
