A truthful blog dedicated to the loving memory of my grandmother, Catherine DeMartini, who is another innocent victim of greedy conservators and their even greedier attorneys who monopolize over 40% of the conservator business in our beautiful City by the Bay!

To Mr. Herb Thomas...
Thank you for responding to my email. In response to your comment..."you must be proud of yourself."
YES! I am very, very proud of myself, and I know my Grandmother is proud of me, too. I have exposed YOU!
YOU see, Mr. Thomas, I am not the one that caused my Grandmother to face her worst fear...dying in a nursing home. YOU did that to her, and YOU broke every law in doing so. YOU placed her in a substandard nursing home. YOU did not allow her to return to her home of 85 years. YOU did not notify the Court for FIVE months of her move. YOU isolated her family. YOU did not petition the Court to obtain approval to move her to the $10,000 month "skilled nursing facility" that was recently cited for 18 deficiencies by the State of California. YOU did not obtain court approval for her to take Haldol. YOU went against the recommendations of her personal physician and UCSF Hospital and placed her in a nursing home rather than in her own home, YOU had the stomach tube inserted the very morning after you met with my Uncle and I, and we all agreed with the Doctor present that she would get the less intrusive tube in her nose! YOU lied to the Court regarding your fees. Do YOU want me to continue, Mr. Thomas? The list goes on and on!
The following quote is dedicated to YOU, Mr. Herb Thomas!

Mind Boggling
Herb Thomas and Associates has petitioned the Court for approval of the following fees to be collected as a LIEN on my Grandmother's house:
Billed by Herb Thomas and Associates....
December 4, 2010...met with sister A. Fraguglia...$350
No meetings with son, Paul DeMartini or granddaughter, Lori DeMartini.
February 23, 2011: sent email updated to Mrs. DeMartini's family members...$87.50
Paul and Lori DeMartini excluded from the distribution list
February 24, 2011...sent email update to family members...$25
Neither Paul DeMartini or Lori DeMartini were copied on this email
January 18, 2011...Conversation with family members...$75
Neither Paul or Lori DeMartini were included in this conversation
January 26, 2011...Visit to check on Mrs. DeMartini....alerted faily members...met with family members at hospital..$462.50
Family meeting was at UCSF in October....no family meeting at St. Mary's...unless Paul and Lori were excluded!
April 4, 2011...Spoke with Mrs. DeMartini's sister and updated her on Mrs. DeMartini's medical status...$50
No conversations with Mrs. DeMartini's son!!!!!
April 5, 2011...Numerous emails to extended DeMartini family member regarding status of Catherine DeMartini...$25
One email sent to my daughter, Jamie, on April 5, 2011 regarding status of my Grandmother...
"Jamie:
The palliative care nurse who is directing Mrs. DeMartini’s care and Kate (my Gerontologist), discussed this morning at 10:00, that we are going to work with a hospice team to plan for the transition of Mrs. DeMartini back to the nursing facility. Once again I cannot determine when you should make preparations for a visit but it is very likely that Mrs. DeMartini will be placed on hospice. "
Paul and Lori DeMartini did not receive NUMEROUS emails....in fact, Paul and Lori DeMartini were not included at all! My guess, Herb Thomas did not sent NUMEROUS emails! If he did, he sent them to "EXTENDED" family members and excluded the conservatee's only living child.
April 13, 2011...emails with various family members about Catherine's condition...$62.50
Paul DeMartini, conservatee's only living child and Lori DeMartini were not included in these emails
April 13, 2011...spoke with Mrs. DeMartini's sister and provided an update. $337.50
No call to Paul DeMartini, conservatee's only living child! No call to Lori DeMartini!
$1475 in fees, $500 per month, for the period January 1, 2011 through April 30, 2011...and not one email or call to Paul DeMartini, the conservatee's only living child!
Why did Mr. Herb Thomas and Associates blatantly EXCLUDE my Uncle from the last 18 months of my Grandmother's life? Why did Mr. Herb Thomas and Associates keep me from the person who was the most important person in my life? How could Mr. Herb Thomas and Associates DENY visits from my children...the children that my Grandmother adored?
These fees are in addition to the $60,000 in fees Mr. Herb Thomas and Associates has already filed!
MIND BOGGLING!
Charges to Estate to View the BLOG
It has been 29 months since my former brother, Thomas DeMartini, took my Grandmother to an attorney and had her 27 year old Estate Plan fraudulently changed.
Over the last 29 months, I have witnessed the UNBELIEVABLE. I was starting to think that nothing would surprise me until I reviewed Elvira Orly and Herb Thomas' REPORT BY THE CONSERVATOR OF THE PERSON AND PETITION FOR IT'S SETTLEMENT; PETITION FOR ALLOWANCE OF CONSERVATOR'S FEES AND ATTORNEY'S FEES which was filed on September 30, 2011 in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of San Francisco, Case Number PCN-09-292714.
