Public employees can be great sometimes, but I’ve had some encounters with terrible public employees in recent years. I’d like to make the complaint process on those that deserve it a little more transparent. My most recent one was recent against mediator Paisley Pijuan in the East Courthouse in Simi Valley, Ventura County Superior Court. Here’s what I posted at this new page I created: http://publicfb.org/#. If you have others you’d like me to post, send it over!

Paisley Pijuan
Paisley Pijuan has been a mediator in the Ventura County Courts for years. My first mediation with her was in 2010 and I left feeling that she had bias toward my ex-wife. Her recommendation seemed to favor my ex-wife’s requests. Again, in January of 2012, I had a mediation with her and this time I came more prepared. This time she was very emotional, raised her voice at me and disregarded ALL of my requests even though I was the moving party and had made considerable sacrifice to make the requests I made. Her recommendation basically made no change to our previous court order. I did some research on how to dispute this botched mediation and recommendation and found this:
3.24.1 MEDIATOR COMPLAINT PROCEDURE at this link: http://www.ventura.courts.ca.gov/pdf_files/ventura_county_court_rules.pdf
I made Judge Lund (East Court house in Simi) aware of this at the very beginning of our hearing, let him know what my requests were on my OSC and my reasoning. He postponed our hearing to “second call” (11:30, after the break) and then at that time he called Paisley Pijuan to the stand. He asked her some questions, challenged her flawed reasoning. She tried to reiterate the accusation that my requests were for financial reasons. He disagreed and ruled in my favor.
Paisley Pijuan’s supervisor is believed to be Robert Bayer and can be reached at these 2 numbers: 805-862-6702 and 805-662-6694. If you get a botched mediation like I did with Mrs. Pijuan, I think it’s worth a call to her supervisor but the most gratifying thing was to watch her squirm as she testified and tried to justify her biased reasoning to a judge who wasn’t about to allow it! It was cool.

Its now on HAMMRe.com. It is not connected to the MLS–it’s a service that connects to county public records and tracks the foreclosures. Its on the bottom of the home page. Check it out! I use it almost daily. Let me know if you have questions.

Surprisingly, our youngest boy Cy (5 years old), was still sleeping at 7:30AM so I woke him up.  We reviewed the letter from Santa, the presents, the missing cinnamon roll, etc.  We then woke up the older kids and discussed our plan.  It went like this:  Grandma Hamm and Aunt Pattie would come over (before 8AM), we’d eat breakfast, eat presents, go to church, come home, and then play with presents.  And it went according to plan.  Merry Christmas!

We can still meet if we need to though…walls are framed, windows and doors almost done.
