TO: Teresa Giordano, Sole Proprietor

Murrieta 92562
CALIFORNIA, USA
FROM: Paul Andrew Mitchell, B.A., M.S.
DATE: July 1, 2002 A.D.
SUBJECT: Theft of Professional Services
under false and fraudulent pretenses; docket numbers:
#SA CV 02-0382 GLT(ANx), #CR 00-00372 DDP (USDC/L.A.)
This is my INVOICE for professional services rendered and accepted, during the period between March 21, 2002 A.D. and May 28, 2002 A.D.
I can prove that you willfully defrauded me, beginning March 21, 2002 A.D., by falsely and repeatedly claiming that you could not pay me for my professional services. On the basis of your false and fraudulent pretenses, I consented to work pro bono on one of your legal cases ‑‑ quashing a SUBPOENA TO TESTIFY BEFORE GRAND JURY (see civil docket).
My consent was also predicated in part on conditions which no longer existed after I was forced to leave Lynne Meredith’s offices in Sunset Beach on short notice, as a stipulation of her release from federal detention one week after you and she were both arrested. I was then denied the $500 Mark Keller offered to me ‑‑ for vacating in 72 hours.
You then maneuvered me into a position in which I was again forced, under duress and against my will, to accept partial payments in kind, in the form of office supplies, postage, food and rent, and certain unspecified “gifts” you later confiscated (e.g. a bike). You also breached our verbal agreement that I would be a guest in your house for a period not to exceed two weeks, beginning April 20, 2002 A.D., because it is unethical for Counsel to live with a client. You also defamed me in front of co-workers Darcy and Erica, after I expressed my intent to invoice you; but, invoicing you is my fundamental Right.
Accordingly, the following INVOICE itemizes my labor and good faith estimates of all expenses you incurred due to my being a guest in your house and my working on your behalf at a small desk in your office:
