"I wonder if it is something that the state bar should be aware of. I don't know."

If this is a document that has been filed with the court, it's a public record and anyone can publish it on the Internet if they want to.

I just called the Marion County Clerk of the Court to find out a court date for this fiasco so that I could attend, and she told me the case has not been transferred to Circuit Court because neither Isenhour nor his counsel have paid the transfer fee! Hilarious and absolutely typical of a man who pays NO bills unless forced to.

The order to transfer the case was signed by the Judge on May 4th. One would assume that Isenhour would want to address the egregious besmirchment of his character as soon as was possible, apparently not.

I think the whole lible suit is simply a ploy to delay Ms Rivera's original claim/lawsuit against Isenhour. I was comforted to hear she can file paperwork with the county court to get her case re-instated there.

Whatever transpires, rest assured, I, Lisa Arden, will be in any and all courts to present evidence Isenhour is in fact a prevaricating, posturing con man.

Perhaps someone should ask Ms. Kosto exactly whom she feels she is a victim of. According to phone calls made by her to numerous parties, Isenhour did not pay her for the last TWO MONTHS for which she worked for him, and now will not answer her calls.

By the way, a request for inquiry has also been filed with the State of Florida and the IRS, to determine whether Isenhour was in fact paying wages to employees without taking out taxes, social security etc.

I have substantial proof that I requested he set up a legitimate payroll account numerous times, and he chose not to.

A scofflaw in every way.

I am so happy Isenhour posted the information about his Ludicrous lawsuit against Ms. Rivera, and can't wait to attend the court proceeding and present evidence on Ms. Rivera's behalf! Isenhour is a Crook, and a liar, and the premise of his lawsuit is categorically LIES. The truth will out.

One can only hope he brings a similar suit against me. I would love it.

I am not making any allegations here but, did Attorney, Gregory E. Tucci,

Fla. Bar No. 144405
have anything to do or have knowledge that this court document was going to be posted if not in part with his name attached. I would think that an officer of the court should be aware of such things. I wonder if it is something that the state bar should be aware of. I don't know. Maybe someone can make a posting to clarify this. I am just curious.

I can not believe the circumstances that have led up to this moment. Lisa Arden has become the poor woman who has been taken advantage of.....what incredible stupidy.... I absolutely deny the allegations made in this report and want you to know that me, Mr. Ballard, and Ms Kosto are all victims of both Ms. Arden and Ms Rivera....

I want to make it clear that before September 15 of 2008, I did not know anything about the walkin bath tub store or even walkin bath tubs period. Ms. Rivera purchased her tub in August of 2008....

I never signed on an account of Lisa Ardens company nor did I touch one red penny of funds derived from the operations of the Walkin Bathtub Store, Inc. or any of the funds Ms. Arden took from either Rivera or any other person that she took money from and never delivered their tubs. NOT ONE DOLLAR of any of those funds when to me or my company.

When I found out the full extent of Ms Ardens Actions, I helped to close down the company's operations so that she could not do it to anyone else. I contacted the phone carrier and kept the 800-465-1202 number so that anyone who bought a tub from Ms. Arden would be able to contact us.

I also want to make it clear that if you make statements that are untrue and carry on a war of untruths and lies there are consequences: And THIS IS THE CONSEQUENCE;


IN THE COUNTY COURT, IN AND
FOR MARION COUNTY, FLORIDA.

My knee-jerk reaction of lumping Lisa Arden in with this fiasco, in hindsight was likely a little strong. I have come to understand that Lisa may be, in many ways, fell victim herself to the slimy business tactics of the Master corporate criminal, James Kirk Isenhour and his business partner and Cash-Cow, Matt Ballard, Business owner in Ocala, Florida. Though being a little slow to do so; she is managing to come out with an effort to clear her name. I believe that she was deeply hurt when Mr. Isenhour ripped apart and used her company that she put so much hard work and effort into to commit these heinous offensessoiling its name and hurting so many people. She says that she wants to do the right thing. I believe her and feel that she deserves to have her name cleared from this mess.

The latest News is The Walk-In Bathtub store is resurrecting it's self in yet another venture: www.walkintubguide.com. It is located at 822 North Donnelly St. Mount Dora, FL 32757. The Phone is: 800-465-1202. This is an address which is owned by Lisa Arden.

I am sorry Lisa to have to include you with the conspiracy but you are still showing up as the (RA) for The Walk-In Bathtub Store. I know that you filed a paper with the state resigning as head of The Walk-In Bathtub Store. I brought up the record and saw it for my self. James Kirk Isenhour has already admitted that he bought the company and already admitted culpability in owing me a bathtub. He assumed the inventory, Web site address "www.walkinbathtubstore.com" and employees, however, when the authorities recently investigated Mr. Isenhour and TopLine Industries, they came to the conclusion that Lisa Arden is still the (RA) of The Walk-In Bathtub Store and TopLine Industries was newly Incorporated By Mr Isenhour. James Kirk Isenhour, seemed to be successful in this attempt to deflect blame form himself in Marion County investigations. If he isn't made of Teflon than I don't know anything...

Presently, I have a whole in the wall of my bathroom, $600.00 attorney's fees, $334.00 court costs, and the original $4,950.00 Theft.

This instrument of fraud: www.walkinbathtubstore.com, after causing so much damage in Lake County and racking up too many law-suits recently moved into Marion County under a new name: TopLine Industries located at: 2855 South Pine Avenue, Ocala, Florida 34471. James Kirk Isenhour's newest scam of a long line of scams and felonies. He has been getting over on Ocala's citizens for decades--unfettered.

Call him at: (352)304-2712, (352)735-0319, (800)519-4945 or (800)465-1202. Ask Slick Willy, how many other of our elderly, weak and infirm does he think he and his flying circus of fraud can take for a bath.

Lisa, you should offer any and all information you have about the new owner of your old company. You should assist every and all parties that have a claim against this Eisenhower (sp?) guy.

You sold a tub to Doris, it is your responsibilty to assist her. If you choose not to your name will be forever tied to the tub scam.

I am sorry to hear that Kirk Isenhour has not delivered your bathtub, but I most assuredly am not a "co-conspirator" and have nothing whatsoever to do with Topline Industries.

I sold Isenhour my business on September 15, 2008. HE has chosen to change the name of the business, close the showroom in Mount Dora, and apparently not fulfill his contractual obligations to deliver product, not I.
