This review is about unethical attorneys who use their knowledge of the law and their position in society to bully those not as strong as them!!

I happen to have sold my home of 19 years to Mr Steven Tight in St. Louis Park . He formed a nexus with 2 other "professionals" Brian from Barnwood Group in SLP & Attorney & real estate expert Mark Vyvyan of Fredrickson & Byron PA. They used this nexus to bully me to swindle $50,000 from me. The aim I believe was to scare me with a lawsuit if I did not part with the money.

I do believe he also either bullied the city of SLP or used his elite attorney status /knowledge of law of SLP against me (suggesting felony and misdemeanor occurrences by me to the city) - as the director of inspections and the city attorney went to do his bidding or dirty work in the early parts of this saga.

Tight sent this to me to bully me in my opinion.
"If the Mehtas have a competent attorney involved, we welcome the opportunity to work with him or her and hope that their involvement provides an opportunity to impart some much needed order and perspective to this transaction. Please provide us with the name and phone number of that firm and attorney, and either Steve Tight will reach out directly or have his attorneys contact Mehtas’ lawyer. Tights are represented by Fredrikson and Byron, PA – where Steve was a partner for over 10 years prior to joining Optum’s General Counsel’s office. Their real estate group is one of the best in town."

He also sent this:
"Tights’ experts and contractors best estimates of the cost to resolve all the items on that list are in excess of $30,000 (one estimate was closer to $50,000) and those same experts have suggested that it will take a minimum of 6 weeks to arrange for and complete the work before SLP could come back in and do their re-inspections, etc. "

Tight also sent this:
"Failing to do so and trying to close without one is a further / continued violation of the SLP city code, it’s a crime and it would subject Mehtas to a range of sanctions or penalties from the city of SLP, including a citation or citations, the filing of an enforcement action by the SLP city attorney, and/or the filing of a petition for a temporary restraining order or an injunction to prevent the closing from occurring. The Tights have lived in SLP for the last 14 years, they will be SLP residents going forward once they complete the purchase and they have a good, close working relationship with SLP and intend to maintain those relationships and abide by the city of SLP code to the letter."

Well, I was in India for over 6 months due to the fact that my mother in law and my father had died earlier the previous year and I needed to be in India.

Mr Steven Tight in my absence along with The Barnwood Group, SLP ( professional estimate of 30,000 to 50,000) which was then sent to me via past colleague Mr. Mark Vyvyan worked hard to get $30,000 or $50,000 out of me. Mr. Mark Vyvyan the expert in Real Estate at Fredrickson Byron PA represented Attorney Steven Tight for an underhand deal that they conjured between themselves in my opinion.

I came back from India after have felt so harassed by them and fought back. "The ALMIGHTY professionals" in their field failed to bully me for the following reasons

1. Unfortunately for them I am an educated woman.
2. My father was one of the best attorneys of Mumbai. I have been around the best legal minds and so they did not scare me.
4. I went to the city of SLP and looked up the laws and got the job done for $1500 instead of the $30,000/$50,000 they were asking for . (After a harrowing 4 mths. of harassment I scored when Mr Vyvyan came back and asked for the $7,500 that I offered as a settlement to have the harassment go away - but the game was over I figured the SLP laws out and called them out and I had to say you get ZERO.)
5. The Tights said they have lived in SLP for 14 years and I lived in SLP for 33 years and I reminded the city about it

First Scribe hired Fredrikson & Byron to incorporate new services into our digital agency. They understand the legal nuances of the digital world and knew exactly what to do to accomplish my goals and even pointed out several other items I never would have considered. Fredrikson & Byron is not cheap, but worth every penny as industry experience matters! Steven Helland was especially impressive.
