James R Aymann (Jim) is a Decorated and Disabled Combat Veteran of the Vietnam War. Jim has been awarded a 70% service-connected disability. Jim is not an attorney, he is a working person. We believe that this story is both timely and compelling. PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING ENTRY TITLED PROTECTING NEVADA S SENIORS BY ATTORNEY GENERAL CATHERINE CORTEZ MASTO OF THE STATE OF NEVADA. Catherine Cortez-Masto Attorney General of the State of Nevada (702) The senior population is the fastest growing population in the state of Nevada and the Nevada attorney general s office is stepping up its efforts to protect our seniors.

4 4 Our senior protection unit contributes several different divisions in our office. Which come together with one goal in mind; to educate and protect seniors and to prosecute those who take advantage of Nevada s seniors. ON FEBRUARY 7, 2011, JIM SENT A WRITTEN COMPLAINT AGAINST HIS FORMER ATTORNEYS TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL S OFFICE. ON FEBRUARY 17, 2011 THE ATTORNEY GENERAL S OFFICE RESPONDED WITH THE FOLLOWING EMAI, Dear Mr. Aymann the letter is in response to your February 7, 2011 correspondence, concerning your complaints against the law firm of John Peter Lee of Las Vegas Nevada John Courtney, Esq. of that firm and Paul Ray Esq. formerly of that firm. You stated that you were dissatisfied with the legal representation you received in a Clark County District Court arbitration case, James R Aymann versus Alana Peterson, et al. You contend that the above-mentioned law firm and attorneys violated the rules of professional conduct to include breaches of communication so you could not make an informed decision about representation. You also state that you were not reasonably informed about the status of the case, and that the scope of representation was violated. Please understand that the office of the Attorney General does not have legal jurisdiction over your complaint. This office represents various state agencies, boards, commissions charged with a duty to enforce our state laws, and Nevada law prohibits this office from rendering legal assistance and/or providing legal advice to anyone other than our assigned agencies, boards, and commissions. Therefore, this office cannot provide legal advice, opinions or interpret Nevada law for private citizens. Investigating the disciplining of attorneys for malpractice is a function of the State Bar of Nevada. If you wish to contact the bar, their contact information is listed below.

5 5 Sincere regards, Catherine Cortez Masto Attorney General Marc A. Fox, Citizen Response Unit JIM RESPONDED WITH THE FOLLOWING LETTER TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NEVADA. To be submitted to the Attorney General of the state of Nevada: NRS Additional penalty: Certain crimes committed against person 60 years of age or older or against vulnerable person. 1. A person who commits the crime of: (i) obtaining money or property of a value of $250 or more by false pretenses. Plaintiff is a 65-year-old combat veteran of the Vietnam War with a 70% service-connected disability for posttraumatic stress disorder. Plaintiff received an Honorable Discharge. Las Vegas Nevada has been his home for over 21 years. Plaintiff has been a taxpaying and law-abiding citizen. He believes that this qualifies plaintiff as an elderly and vulnerable person. Please note: 1. Plaintiff s case was placed into arbitration under false pretenses. 2. He was never aware that the award for legal fees in Arbitration might not exceed $ Plaintiff wonders why the Nevada State Legislature did not include a provision for the common citizen that would hire a lawyer that they would be advised in writing that they were going to have to cough up any attorney s fees over $3000! 4. This renders lawyers clients, who are not advised of this rule, or at the mercy of these unscrupulous lawyers.

6 6 A. Maximum award of $50,000 in arbitration, B. A maximum of $3000 for the recovery of attorney s fees and arbitration C. Arbitration is not binding Had I known any of this at the onset I never would have hired Paul Ray or any attorney to represent me under these circumstances and conditions. On 15 July 2010, eight days after the final arbitration hearing, Paul Ray telephoned me. I recorded this conversation for my protection. This conversation clearly indicates and establishes that attorney Paul Ray and the law firm of John Peter Lee planned to obtain more than $250 under false pretenses! Attached to this statement is a four-page transcription of the first six minutes of that conversation. Please note: 1. Plaintiff ultimately ended up paying over $16,000 to the law firm of John Peter Lee Ltd. 2. They are currently taking me to court to retrieve an additional $36,000. fees. 3. The arbitrator initially awarded me costs including attorney s 4. Because of the Arbitration Rules, I was only awarded $2500 in attorney s fees. 5. On the 26 th of August, eight days before the Arbitrator rendered her decision, Paul Ray s employment with the law firm of John Peter Lee was mysteriously terminated was never informed by Paul Ray personally. It is the contention of the vast majority of my friends, neighbors and coworkers that government at all levels and all facets spend their

7 7 time referring to their individual checklists as to why they cannot help or why they cannot get involved. I am hoping this is not the case because frankly I am tired of being jerked around! I am serious as a heart attack about demanding that criminal charges be brought against these people! Thank you. James R Aymann *Second Amended Complaint ON MARCH 14, THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF NEVADA SENT A LETTER OF REPLY AS FOLLOWS: Dear Mr. Aymann: Thank you for taking the time to write to the State of Nevada, Office of the Attorney General. This letter is in response to your letter that was dated February 24, Your correspondence was in reference to a response correspondence for legal researcher, Marc Fox. Please note, I will reiterate what Mark Fox said in his dated February 17, 2011, the Nevada Attorney General s office represents the state of Nevada and is not authorized to provide legal advice to private citizens. Our office represents various state agencies, boards, and commissions charged with a duty to enforce our state laws. Nevada law prohibits anyone from this office from rendering legal assistance, legal advice, and/or representing anyone other than our assigned boards and/or commissions. Therefore, we are unable to provide legal advice, opinions and/or interpret Nevada law for private citizens. In addition, our office does not become involved in pending litigation. I will also reiterate what Marc Fox wrote in his . Investigating and disciplining an attorney is a function of the State Bar.

8 8 Below I have listed their relevant contact information : Sincerely, Catherine Cortez-Masto - Attorney General Jim s response. Jim clearly cited NRS (i) Additional penalty: Certain crimes committed against person 60 years of age or older or against vulnerable person. A person who commits the crime of obtaining money or property of a value of $250 or more by false pretenses. Jim submits that this is clearly not a request for legal advice, but a legitimate criminal complaint submitted in writing to the Attorney General of Nevada with substantial supporting documents by an individual that has established that he is both a vulnerable person and a person that is over 60 years of age! Catherine Cortez Masto is the leading Law Enforcement Officer in the State of Nevada, professing to protect seniors and to prosecute those who take advantage of seniors. Nevada Lawyer John Peter Lee - owner of the law firm that bears his name. Nevada lawyer Paul C Ray repeatedly tricked, cheated, and lied to Jim. John Peter Lee subsequently fired Paul C Ray and all parties involved are still concealing this fact. Yvette Freedman who was complicit with John Peter Lee in the act of submitting fraudulent documents to the court in attempts to cause further harm to Jim. These lawyers are all guilty of this statute to the tune of over $16,000 and an additional $34,000 lien that they successfully obtained in a Court Order from Judge Joanna S Kishner!

9 9 In the case of James R Aymann, Catherine Cortez-Masto has failed miserably in living up to her mission statement of, to educate and protect seniors and to prosecute those who take advantage of Nevada s seniors. This mission statement by the leading Law Enforcement Official in the State of Nevada is a sham and a farce! James R Aymann (Jim) is a combat Veteran of the Vietnam War with a 70% service-connected disability that has been repeatedly victimized by corruption in Nevada Government!
