Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
In 2003 our company licensed Globie product rights to an attorney (for $5,000.00) at the Jones Waldo law firm in SLC, Utah. Its the oldest firm in Utah and very a prominent law firm.

Months later the license agreement was terminated due to a conflict of interest. Mr. Ottis & Globie were represented by Jones Waldo along with co- counsel of Nebraska law firm Dwyer Smith, Christopher D. Curzon.

Mr. Ottis paid the $5,000.00 back to the attorney and retained their counsel.

Months later Globie negotiated a multi- million dollar contract with a Christian Academy in Utah. A preliminary written agreement was drafted by Jones Waldo and Dwyer Smith and signed by all parties. The principle on the contract for the Christian Academy, Chris Crowder paid $21,500.00 by check to Dwyer Smith in Nebraska for the license agreement with Globie.

Crowders check bounced and Dwyer Smiths held Mr. Ottis responsible for the Crowders bad check? Really unethical! Mr. Ottis asked for the check to file charges against Chris Crowder and hopefully get his money back but, Dwyer Smith said they had lost the check. Its a violation for an attorney to discard or destroy documents in client files.

The Christian Academy breached the entire contract leaving Globie with major debts, time losses and outstanding loans used to produce products to facilitate the pending contract.

The documents used to secure funds for the products were provided by Jones Waldo in conjunction with the Dwyer Smith in Nebraska. Two years Later Mr. Ottis was later charged with Felony Security violations as a result of using these documents as directed by the law firms. Neither firm defended him or came to his side for their wrongdoing of their MALPRACTICE!!

Mr. Ottis paid off the notes in full, paid fines and accepted misdemeanor charges. Actions are pending against both Jones Waldo and Dwyer Smith as a result of this recent event. We are owed a high price for these damages!!!

This posting is a WARNING to people who may be considering the hiring of either Jones Waldo in Utah, or Dwyer Smith in Nebraska.

Are you the same blogger against Ottis that instigated the investigation against Ottis, the one that almost ended his company, the one that he cooperated with authorities on and furnished them every material document that was related to his company? The investigation that was ended with no action!! If so, you were pointed out by authorities as a person with a vendetta and motives that were backed by false allegations! Did you get your information from a family member who is an ALCOHOLIC and DRUG Abuser, who has been admitted three times to a mental facility against her will, who has three public records on attempted suicide who has been ban by her grandchildren's father and mother from seeing her grandchildren for reasons of child abuse? The mother who has been disowned by her only daughter for reason of childhood abuse and who worked the truck stops as a prostitute? By the way, the Utah case stemmed from a person who embezzled $67K from a business account that Ottis dropped charges against, and he refused to pay a loan note to this person because of the embezzlement. However, in Utah a Loan Note is a security document which Ottis didn't know. So he paid the price of taking the law into his own hands. Did you know that he had two law firms and a licensed broker that provided the agreements and represent the loan? Did you know that the person who filed the charges against him in Utah was terminated and on February 7, 2008 just seven days after he settled the case? That the salt Lake Tribune printed a front page story reporting that the Utah Security Department came under investigation by the House of Representatives? Did you know that Mr. Gunderson remains Ottis' friend and as a private investigator with 33 years as a retired FBI Special Agent he knows more about Ottis than you will ever know? Did you know that a complete list of names and contact information remains on file to be used to pay every lender and person ever associated with his business? Ottis and his business have suffered gravely because of malicious people like you! But, he has never stopped working harder than anyone I have ever known. I have told him many times over the years that a lesser man would have quit years ago! I know all of this and I know what a great and honorable person Ottis is. By the way Tochilo (adult?) site that you refer to was created for a Las Vegas gaming facility. So what? Do you have kids? If so do you ever drink alcohol or have sex as an adult? How dare you if you do, you hypocrite! Acting as an adult on adult time, shame on you! By the way, not one of the characters have ever been expired, copyrights last for many, many years! Ottis has dedicated ten years of intense work to insure that his project succeeds. This is his dream and his passion. The slime ball who criticized Ottis' childhood can post his contact information as can you and I am sure Ottis and his lawyers will give you and them your day in court! Alan.

Jones Waldo You have No Honor

#3UPDATE EX-employee responds

Sat, December 27, 2008

I just came across this site and know Mr. Ottis. He would not have been charged with a crime if Jones Waldo would have represented him professionally. I have reviewed the documents that Jones Waldo provided Mr. Ottis to use as loan documents. They are security documents! I also know that he came to your firm and advised your firm that they had compromised his relation with a lender due to the documents, that Jones Waldo gave him the run around. He said he didn't pay your firm because your firm caused this and a prior problem, refused to correct the problems and stood by as he suffered losses and was prosecuted for your malpractice ! I have been to SLC on business a few times, it is said to be the FRAUD center of the US. That the problem seems to run deep in wide in the LDS "MORMONS". I also know the names of the two "Utah Licensed Brokers" that represented the loan process that used the Jones Waldo documents. Mr. Ottis didn't represent himself in the legal or financial process. I also know about the contract prior to the "Loan" document that Jones Waldo negotiated and provided to Mr. Ottis that cost him over $250K in losses, because the client walkd on the deal and the Jones Walo contract didn't have the teeth to prevent Mr. Ottis from the huge loss. It seems Jones Waldo should face up to their own mistakes and perhaps pay Mr. Ottis for his losses!! A.W. J. Friend and business associate to Mr. Ottis.

Jones Waldo - Utah - Misrepresentation - Reported

It is true that Mr. Ottis was charged with a crime in Utah for security violations however, there are mitigating circumstances. He admitted guilt to attempting to sell unregistered securities and for attempting to broker unregistered securities. However, Jones Waldo authored and provided the documents that were in violation, and third Mr. Ottis was not advised that the documents were SECURITY DOCUMENTS by Jones Waldo. How long or reputable the firm claims to be, is irrelevant to the foregoing facts. The charges against him were puffed up as reported and published in the SLC Tribune. There are mitigating circumsatnces regarding the alledged victim and the transaction. As well, Utah Securities Department is presently under investigation released in yesterdays PRESS 2/5/08. Read at: http://www.sltrib.com//ci_8174346?IADID=Search-www.sltrib.com-www.sltrib.com Mr. Wayne Kline was the same prosecutor that filed against Mr. Ottis. Mr. Ottis refused to pay billing at Jones Waldo for their negligence in drafting documents that resulted in a major loss to his company. Yes, Jones Waldo filed a suit for payment. They are attorneys. They may live by the creed that they do no wrong. But, MALPRACTICE is not an unknown word in their world of business. Reputable and honest is contacting the victim of their wrong doing and making the wrong right. Mr. Ottis admitted his guilt to the alledged victims and the State of Utah, he stood up for his wrong doing.

Anyone who believes Mr. Ottis's version of events as he was represented by Jones Waldo might be interested in the following press release from the Utah State Department of Commerce. I would urge the staff of ripoffreport to crosscheck the accusations against these two law firms against the other information given on this site on J. Ottis, J.P. Ottis, J. Paul Ottis, or Joseph Paul Ottis as it the same man in all cases. Our law firms is proud of our longstanding reputation for professional and honest legal work and had to bring charges against Mr. Ottis himself for the failure to pay outstanding legal fees. The following security fraud briefing can also be found here: http://www.securities.utah.gov/press/ottis.pdf State of Utah Department of Commerce NEWS RELEASE July 26,2007 JON M. HUNTSMAN, JR. Governor GARY R. HERBERT Lieutenant Governor California Television Producer Charged with Securities Fraud, Elder Abuse Ottis took $180,000 from a senior citizen . . Division of Securities Executive Director Deputy Director Director of Securiries SALT LAKE CITY, Utah -Joseph Paul Ottis, 62, a inan who claimed to be a television producer and film maker, was charged today with one second-degree count of securities fraud and one count of exploitation of an elder adult, a third degree felony. The charges stem from $1 80,000 he took froill an investor, claiming the money would be used to develop a television program for children. If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison. The charges were filed by the Financial Crimes Unit of the Utah Attorney General's Office. The charging documents describe how Ottis approached a neighbor in his apartment complex about investing in Globie International, LLC. Ottis allegedly told the investor that he had created "Globie characters" which would star in a television prograin and educate children about the planets, preserving the earth, finding missing children, and assisting battered women. He claimed to be a producer and film maker known by several Hollywood producers. He also allegedly said he was worth millions and financially successful in previous ventures. According to the charging documents, he gave the investor Globie t-shirts for her grandchildren, pictures of the Globie characters, and some promotional DVDs. Ottis allegedly showed the investor financial projections for the company and said money she invested would be used to pay for travel expenses and to launch production of the television show. He claimed to be in the process of negotiating contracts with Disney and Nickelodeon. He told the investor she would earn 10-20% annual interest and would also receive 2% of Globie's profits. He assured the investor there was no risk and said her investment would be guaranteed by Ottis's assets and insurance. Over the course of three months, the investor gave Ottis $180,000, including access to a line of credit at her bank. Ottis gave promissory notes, which are securities, to the investor, promising to repay the investment plus interest. The securities fraud charge arises from the allegations Ottis misrepresented information about the television program and his discussions with Disney and Nickelodeon. He also failed to disclose the business and operating history of Globie, including the fact that the comany charter had expired. He is accused of deceiving the investor into believing she was guaranteeing a loan to Ottis, when in fact she was giving him access to a loan made to her. To date, the investor has managed to recover $66,278 taken from her line of credit. The charge of exploitation of an elder adult is based on the investor being over 65 at the time the investment was solicited.
