    I am writing this on behalf of my father he is 89 years old has early dementia he hired James tree service and Landscaping in June of 2022. ***** in my father agreed on $25,000 for a complete job which as of February the 4th 2023 is still not complete he left behind a lot of debris did not fix a back deck there is still a tree stump that has not been removed James W**** got a total of $123,000 through wire transfers personal checks and cash. My father became a widower one year ago ***** **** ****** ***** in Victoria Goins always went to my dad's house to collect the money. They had my father cosign for a new mustang for ****** ******* fiance. Since my dad has early dementia sundowning he was not aware what he was doing. He also wanted me to lie to county officials he fixed the septic tank that he crashed through with the skid steer illegally did not contact the county wanted me to commit homeowners fraud by telling them a tree hit my house for me to take pictures turn that into my homeowners and collect an easy payday. This tree company has had other complaints all along my dad thought he was investing in this company of course James denies this this family has left my father completely destitute my dad lives in the 1993 single wide drives a 16-year-old vehicle fought for our country. James has stated he is not giving any of the money back but my dad gave it to him my dad would not give a stranger 123,000 we have proof everything paperwork cancel checks Bank transfers everything we can prove. When this man is talking he is lying. Our hope is to get this man stopped so he can stop taking people's money especially an 89 year old man who had just lost his wife. ****** ***** and his fiance took my father to a car dealership my dad sat for three and a half hours and cosign for a car well the cosigning didn't go through so then they came to my father's house my dad got his bag out of the safe ****** and his fiance proceeded to count out $11,000 cash and got a $4,000 ck

    This man is a con man Preys on the elderly beware! Fast talker,his whole family are liars and con artists. He will never finish any job. it's either too rainy,too hot too dry if his lips are moving he's lying. Says he's a ********* he's so far from that wants you to lie to people too cheap to pay to dump trees debris so asks the customer to lie for him at the landfill saying he's related to the customer that way he doesn't pay to get rid of anything. Fixes his mistakes fraudulently. Loves to steal money from Veterans and the elderly. Leaves a giant mess behind and then won't answer his phone. He claims people are lying about him and his business no he is the liar in this scenario. His equipment is old always broken down. This man is a waste of space and he'll take advantage of you in a second. He says he is fully insured. Another bold face lie. He hires drunks,drug addicts on his so called tree crew. He also gets them to lie and deceive customers. I wouldn't hire this company to do my shrubs out front. I don't know how the attorney general and the better business bureau has not shut his business down. Just makes me sick all the people he is totally ripped off and his whole family does the same thing. He doesn't care about getting permits he doesn't care about fixing stuff illegally he thinks is a cut above the law and he commits insurance fraud constantly. Then he wants the homeowner to lie for him. Word of mouth was he went down to ******* when there was a huge hurricane lots of damage him and his wife and family took the money from FEMA and took off back to **************. That's pretty bad when you take advantage of people that have nothing left no homes nothing. He sleeps like a baby at night nothing bothers him the more people he can steal from the happier he is. I just hope people read this post before they hire this person I know karma has a way of taking care of things. The day you take advantage of a veteran that fought for our country pretty pathetic/ sad
