Skaggs Faucette LLP has harassed me over a Google Review I left sharing my real experience talking to Jason Skaggs.
Here’s a sample of the harassment

Mr. Guo,
I hope you are doing well. As you likely know, X and Y were able to amicably resolve their differences. I note that for some reason you left a google review for my firm and that of my client. Obviously you and I had our differences and our communications ultimately were not productive, but I was surprised and disappointed that you would take those discussions outside of the usual advocacy role in that fashion. I am requesting that you remove both reviews so that we can all move on with our lives. I hope you can agree that we all have better things to do and more important things to worry about at this point. Happy to discuss if you’d like.
Best,

I am not asking you to be worried. I am asking you to take it down. If you won’t, you won’t.

I was assured by X attorney that this would be done. I had hoped that all of you would fulfill that commitment without making it a requirement in the settlement agreement. I am not sure of the point of this. You and I tried to resolve the issue. We couldn’t as between ourselves. Happens all the time.

| to me, Neal, Quintanilla |
I am glad Dr. Agarwal and Quintanilla are on this email, so I want to be clear.
B law is X’s attorney. Not mine. She and I negotiated the settlement, during which she dug into the facts and at least we were able to sort through what had happened, and then she negotiated on X behalf, which resulted in a settlement that made both sides (at least I suspect) equally unhappy but allowed everyone to move on. I found her to be an effective and reasonable advocate for X, and she even convinced us to release Dr. X other entities I have not communicated any threats to her to convey to any of you, so I don’t know where the things about starting a war, censure, or lawsuits come from. It did not come from me. I assume that Dr. X and X can confirm this and that she would as well. I obviously can’t speak directly to her communications with any of the three of you, but I suspect that what she did do was convey that she had committed to me that the review would come down, and it was my understanding from her that at least one of you three had made that commitment to her.
Hopefully that clarifies things. If not, I am happy to do so. I am writing for the exact reason that I don’t want to “start a war” or deal with this any further. I was doing my job representing my client and trying to explain things to all of you based on the facts as I understood them and to try to sort through what happened. That’s all.

I have not communicated any threats to her to convey to any of you, so I don’t know where the things about starting a war, censure, or lawsuits come from. It did not come from me.
We have emails and emails of Y threatening us with lawsuits from you.
In the below email she mentions “The last thing you need is to end up in a lawsuit in California against an attorney for commercial defamation when the only thing he did was represent his client.”
Why would our lawyer do this if it wasn’t coming from you?

I don’t know, but it did not come from me. If you scroll down on the email, I assume you will see that I was simply asking for the status of when the review would be removed. Perhaps she was simply providing thoughts on what could happen and, as noted, it appears that she is frustrated that the commitment that she made to me was not being fulfilled. She is of course correct that the only thing I did was represent my client.
Again, as between the three of you and I, there is no animus or real issue other than the google review and the one star thing (the one star is the issue, I obviously agree that at the end of the day our interactions did not end up being productive, but I think it is somewhat misleading in that you did not disclose that we were both acting as advocates for our respective clients). In all candor, I don’t plan to sue any of you. I am simply requesting that you remove it. I could of course respond and leave my own review. But why given everything else going on in everyone’s lives, would we go down that road? Really, what’s the point?

Unfortunately I can’t offer any explanation other than what I said before. She had conveyed to me that you all would remove the review and likely was surprised and disappointed that you were not doing so. But I am speculating on the last part. If you ask her I am sure she will confirm that I never threatened to sue you.

Tony,
I assume you have confirmed the below. I am asking again for you to please remove the review. Thanks.
Jason
