Carlton Murray Johnson III

Be careful if these are the attorneys of someone you are dealing with. They have dishonest, lying clients. We went to close on a deal and their clients told us 1 1/2 - 2 hrs before closing that the money they were providing for our purchase/ rehab deal is to be reimbursed after we spend our own money.... We had asked multiple times about when , how much, and how fast we can get the money for the rehab and everytime they said we can get it fast and as much as you want from it but never once did anybody say you have to spend your money first then we reimburse you until right before closing. We lost $7,500 of our deposit because their attorney Carlton said we signed the contract. When asked about the definition of funding and reimbursing being 2 totally different meanings he agreed but still believes his clients are entitled to my deposit money even though they lied to me from the beginning. Their clients (Easy Street Capital and New Western Reality) sold this deal to us under the false presumption that they would be funding our rehab not reimbursing our money that we spend. If we would have closed on that deal their clients would have put us in a financial bind that we did not need and would not be ready for, just because they couldn't be honest from the get go. Even on the contract the money for the purchase and rehab is stated as funding. But for some reason on the rehab part I have to spend my money first, makes absolutely no sense. I am still having a hard time understanding how they can think that contract would be valid and legal since their client was lying/ decieving from the beginning. These are shady attorneys with shady clients that are more concerned about putting money in their pockets than having any decent morals. I would ask for another attorney to be involved if you see these peoples names come up with anything you are dealing with, or even double check their client of theirs you're dealing with because you might be getting shafted.
