DISCLAIMER: I have made the choice to name the guardianship (Care Planning Associates), the co-directors (Amy Miller, Lori Ayana), and their attorney (Henry Judson III). My feelings about their "work" are unmistakable. They are a form of life so low, they were, up until five years ago, beyond my imagination. Ms Miller and Ms Ayana and the bottom dwellers who work with them make a living by hunting for, preying upon and stealing from the most defenseless, helpless human beings among us, most often the elderly. Their attorney, Henry Judson III, sponges off their harvest, loading his pockets with money he hasn't earned by any stretch of the imagination and filling his pleadings with lie after endless lie for himself and for his "clients." They get rid of the victim's home quickly, and continue relentlessly until they have exhausted the life savings of the helpless person in their grasp. When they have drained every cent, they toss the victim out like yesterday's laundry. Despite being required by law to monitor this program, Superior Court Commissioner, Carlos Velategui, supports and encourages their theft and their lies by not reading the pleadings before him, by accepting without question, the lies and nonsense they offer him, by writing court orders that he doesn't mean for them to follow, by ignoring the law, and by selectively enforcing the laws he chooses not to ignore. He uses the law to satisfy his own needs, and those needs are either perverse or corrupt. He is a judicial farce and has only junk/joke "justice" to offer. The "rule of law" does not exist in his court room. There, one can only find the stench of his carefully constructed "juristocracy."
Hurricane Katrina introduced a new crime to America, the "disaster hunters." These folks follow disaster, like a dog follows a bone. Once they arrive, there are a myriad number of ways to rip off folks who are shell shocked by the recent catastrophe. They all pretty much operate in the same way. They arrive, make all kinds of promises, pocket the FEMA or insurance money and run, leaving the victims already down, with an additional sucker punch. The guardians are every bit as despicable. They stalk disaster, look for a victim with memory loss, terminal illness, or dementia, AND a bank account. Once they find a vulnerable person with money or assets, they come in for the kill. While the victims are down, Amy Miller, Henry Judson III, Lori Ayana, and other guardians just like them and their ubiquitous sleazy attorneys start kicking. They kick as long and as hard as it takes to get what they want. After they have the money, the house, whatever other assets might have been available, then they drop the victim like used tissue. The victim has no home, no money and often, because isolation is a favored technique, no loved ones left. The guardians and their greedy, loathsome attorneys set a new low for the depths to which the human race can fall. They are not fit to share this earth with principled, ethical, decent human beings. Nor are the judges and commissioners (such as Carlos Velategui) who have created and supported them.
They may feel differently. Their "work," included on this website, will tell their story. You can judge for yourself. Neither the guardians nor their attorney have been arrested, charged, or reprimanded in any way, though I think all would have been appropriate. The commissioner has not yet been removed from the bench. It is to be hoped that he will be removed shortly, having recently "starred" in almost every installment of the Seattle Times Newspaper's expose on "Your Courts, Their Secrets." If my assessment is correct, and if CPA and its attorney are the opportunistic vultures I believe them to be, preying on the helpless, filling their pockets with unearned money, then it needs to be addressed as should the judiciary's role in it and its role in the perversion of the promises made by our forefathers over two hundred years ago. The elderly should be worrying about Medicare, falls, and visits from the grandkids. The state of Washington has no business adding court appointed predators to the list of what should give them concern.
If you go to the linked sites, you will find that the stench of corruption infects most of the guardianship programs in America as well as the probate courts charged with monitoring them. Please consider joining the Advocates for National Guardianship Ethics and Reform - ANGR.US
