Beverly Hayes - Devon Bank

She's Sally Griffin's replacement.  I sat directly behind her in court a few weeks ago in Honorable Lynne Kawamoto's courtroom.  She was talking to the guardian of the person, I believe.  I have to pull the file (and get back to you).  Judge Kawamoto's clerk kept telling everyone to be quiet, to take it outside and move along quickly but Ms. Hayes kept talking.  The woman she was talking to completely trusted her and I felt sick because I was the same way with Sally and Rick Block.  That turned out to be a big mistake.  They embezzled money from nineteen clients and still counting....

Anyway, Judge Kawamoto's clerk was telling the courtroom to be quiet, to take it outside and move along quickly but she kept talking (which was good because I heard every word and if she turns out to be untrustworthy like Sally Griffin, I've got that woman's back).  The bailiff had to come over and tell her to leave the courtroom if she wanted to continue her conversation.  It's so disrespectful to Judge Kawamoto and not surprising that it would be an employee of Devon Bank or affiliated with Amy McCarty.  (I'm wondering who picked the bank?  Devon Bank is the most expensive bank in the city to have manage your estate.  Did Amy McCarty pick it out?  That alone is financial exploitation of the elderly.) 

I'm saying "Beverly Hayes" disrespected the court because the woman she was with doesn't make a living in the courtroom although, she should know better.  It'll be interesting to see how this case turns out.  Devon Bank has a three month thing.  They start slandering the POA or guardian of the person three months after you open an account because they owe so many people and need their clients money to pay them off.  So, they slander them to put one of their friends on board as GOP to squander the estate.  I'll keep an eye on them to see if they're also going to use this poor soul to pay off their debts.

Devon Bank Trust Department - Putting Them Out of Business

I’ve been diligently working on letting the entire world know this bank is financially exploiting their elderly and disabled clients through guardianships. I Xeroxed their court files, wrote a 33-page report describing (in detail) financial abuse to 19 of their clients (in seven years), mailed it to every State and Federal agency I could think of, spoke to all those agencies (absolutely lovely people), Senator Kirk ordered a Federal investigation (along with everyone else in DC), I walked my adopted victims up Capitol Hill, spoke to all our legislators about the problem, sent it to the probate court judges and Chief Judge (because Devon Bank was hiding their 2011 court records from me) then I put it on Congressional record a few months ago. Devon Bank, Janna Dutton and Josh Mitzen made history. I even set up a blog on the victims’ behalf.

Last week, one of the probate court judges refused to approve Devon Bank’s fees. She said they charged way too much to manage an estate. God love that judge for looking out for the best interests of her wards.  I will publish the fees for the other banks so you can find one much more reasonably priced.  I try to court watch for all my adopted victims, make sure I know what's going on..... and now I'm adopting others while I'm on the 18th. 

I’m hoping to put that bank out of business or at least the Trust Department. I made a commitment to Rick Block (Senior VP of Trusts) and Snipped that I would do something about the fact that Snipped which just got worse. Why would Janna Dutton set up a trust account at the most expensive bank in the city if she was looking out for her clients best interests? I know, she was only looking to trap her client in guardianship to set up her retirement fund. For those of you emailing and complaining about this woman, don’t worry, I’m onto her next. If you’re upset about Josh Mitzen, email me at TamiGoldmann@aol.com. Someone is collecting information about him and will file a complaint. I don’t have time but send me the case number and information.

They have other branches but I have to drive over to them.  It "looks like" they're in Section 8 Housing and other facilities?  These facilities are owned by Brookdale Senior Living whom I believe took over Sunrise not too long ago.  A woman at one of these facilities had her account at Devon bank and she was moved by her niece to a nursing home.  "Somehow" Devon Bank got involved, trapped the woman in guardianship.  That was no coincidence.
