Is Arkansas a Good Place to Invest or Retire? NO!
Yes, Arkansas has natural beauty and cheap real estate prices compared to many states.
But judges like Susan Kaye Weaver in Faulkner County and Searcy County give permission to attorney William Zac White to take real estate and personal property from anyone who does not have enough money to hire a lawyer at $300 per hour.
My property and property rights were taken from me without just cause and without a trial.
Property held in a trust was also given to Mr. White’s client and presumably Mr. White.
I am not making this up. It is 100% true.
You can read the docket for Pietrczak v. Laura Lynn and Rural Revival Living Trust on Court Connect. (65CV-21-20)
I appealed the orders. My briefs were filed timely on November 23, 2022. Pietrczak and Attorney William Zac White failed to file an opposing brief. Why bother when the Court consistently finds in their favor without filing any meaningful brief? (CV-22-435)
This is not the first time Judge Susan Weaver transferred property rights without requiring the recipient to follow procedure. See matters involving Richard Gawenis and the Zelda Walls Living Trust, 71CV-20-119, 71PR-19-91 and CV-21-349.
There, the errant judge corrected herself on one lower court case, but not the other, only after the trust paid an attorney for representation. The correction was upheld on appeal.
I left my home state to buy a house and retire in Arkansas. Now I am forced to go back to work, at 60, with a disease that causes fatigue and is triggered by stress.
How do I know Judge Weaver was wrong? I was present in the three hearings and read the official transcripts created by Court Reporter Jana Perry. Ms. Perry’s renditions were fictionalized. But Judge Weaver and Ms. Perry refuse to play the recordings of the hearings, the best evidence, for the public. Thus far the Court of Appeals justices have also refused to settle the record.
If you are considering moving your company or retiring to Arkansas, feel free to call me first. You will probably decide I am an intelligent and reasonable woman, and that I am not exaggerating about the corruption of the Arkansas judiciary. Your assets will not be safe in this state.
