I would like to take the more respectable approach unlike, Mr. Jonathan Chad Sorrells (who has an alias of Chad Owens) owner of The Cupcake Factory, Inc. d/b/a Dimples Cupcakes, who decided to take a forum where he can, without impunity, defame innocent businesses.
I was originally contacted by an existing client was not paid for work he legitimately performed in relation to a tenant finishout on behalf of Mr. Jonathan Chad Sorrells and The Cupcake Factory, Inc. d/b/a Dimples Cupcakes. My client requested our help in recovering the money owed to him. A big part of my business involves filing Mechanics Liens on our clients behalf. After my existing client contacted me to begin the lien process against Mr. Jonathan Chad Sorrells and Dimples Cupcakes, we were then contacted by yet another company (who had never been our client) telling us he also was not paid for work he performed on a Dimples Cupcake project. This individual also requested that I assist him in filing a lien against Mr. Sorrells and Dimples Cupcakes. As it turns out, it was the same Dimples Cupcake project (3000 Blackburn, Dallas, TX 75204) that my original client had not been paid on. After learning that there were multiple contractors and subcontractors who had not been paid on various Dimples Cupcake locations in the DFW area, I proceeded with helping both clients institute liens for the work they performed but were never paid. In response to these liens, Mr. Sorrells of Dimples Cupcakes responded by posting these defamatory remarks on this particular page about me and some of my office staff (who are not even attorneys, I might add, and had nothing to do with the actual filing of these liens). Needless to say if my clients and I were in the wrong why were they paid by the Management company of the space Mr. Chad Sorrells was leasing his space from?
Since the time Mr. Sorrells of Dimples Cupcakes posted his defamatory comments on this website, he has been exposed for his fraudulent and illegal activity by D Magazine:

D Magazines investigation was, ironically, spurred by someone else who believed Mr. Sorrells of Dimples Cupcakes was pretty disingenuous after being threatened in a letter:

Hmmmsounds pretty familiar. While I certainly believe in freedom of speech, it is very concerning to me that persons such as Mr. Sorrells (who obviously has a bad reputation and has been in a variety of legal troubles) can post defamatory comments without impunity about a company such as mine who was just standing up the hardworking businessmen and women, fighting for what is right, and trying to collect the money they deserve for work performed.
Considering I am still in business (and have been around for over 10 years), and Dimples is no longer in business (and was open only a year), I guess we know how this fight ends.
