I am Attorney Gerry Zobrist. I filed suit against Scott Ashjian, last year. He is the author of this post and several other "Rip Off Reports" against me and my clients.

The basis for these posts from May, 2012 resulted from a call I made to Mr. Ashjian's bankruptcy attorney, a friend and colleague of mine. I warned this friend and colleague that my clients would be seeking non-dischargeability of Mr. Ashjian's fraud against them. I even joked with him to make sure he got his money up front. A few days later, these posts popped up. These posts are a common tactic from Me. Ashjian, who, as I understand it, attempted to earn a living as a "reputation defender" on using SEO.

Funny enough, these posts are identical, and use the same language and are designed to create negative web traffic against me.

Searching the web, you will find my reputation to be pristine and my status with the Nevada State Bar to be clean. I'm a litigator. I sue people, especially those that dead others. And yes. I have represented family members in the past.

All the while, Scott Ashjian drives around in his black Mercedes Benz S63-AMG with the vanity license Plate "ASHJIAN" on it. I wonder if he will be able to keep that beautiful car in his Ch. 7--Bankruptcy.

I'm open for comments and happy to defend my actions in suing Mr. Ashjian.

Sincerely,

Gerry G. Zobrist, Esq.
