Dr. Gary Michelson gets ripped off again, 1980-1986

Below is link to an appeal case for breach of contract, fraud.... Right out of Gary Michelson's residency a spine doctor by the name of JAMES S. HAMADA offered to share his medical space with Gary in 1980. As usual Gary Michelson said paraphrased "I just want to do my medical work. I don't want to handle accounting, supplies, money, payroll....you handle all of that for me, complete stranger that I've never met before and didn't even do a background check on. Feel free to steal my money, friend." Gary Michelson really sets himself up for this.

Over time it seems Dr. James Hamada increases Gary's monthly allocation of expenses. It started at $11,000/mo and rose. Hamada then gets someone new to take care of the books. This new person notices some things that aren't right. Gary Michelson isn't being credited for all his income. She talks to Hamada but he does nothing in 1982. She then talks to Gary in 1983 who thinks she must be wrong. "Dr. Hamada a complete stranger whom I now think is my good friend would never rip me off." Gary talks to Hamada. Hamada fires the new accountant telling Gary that she is too stupid to understand the books. Gary believes that but takes the books home anyway thinking someone else in the office must be ripping off Hamada and Gary. Hamada flips out and demands them back. Gary then demands an accounting.

Finally Gary gets his own accountant to check the books. Gary has been ripped off for the 1,245th time and he's only been in business one year. Even though he knows he's been ripped off he continues to work with Hamada until 1986. He then sues Hamada. Gary wins, Hamada appeals, Gary basically still wins.

I went back and looked at Gerald Michelson aka Gerald Michaelson's 1965 high school year book. He seems to be the only person who was not involved in any clubs, sports or events. It just shows his home address as 1805 E. Hazzard St, Philadelphia. It also states he intends to go into "Law." He definitely got into law, just not as a lawyer. Perhaps this is why he's so litigious. He really needs to work on preventative legal tactics. This trusting people, letting people take him THEN suing them viciously is ridiculous.

I just pulled up 1805 E. Hazzard. William, Irving and Reba Michaelson used to live there. Irving could be Gary's older brother and William is his nephew? It's a 3+1 townhome 1,250 ft on 900 ft lot, worth about $12K built in 1925 14' wide lot x 68' long, two story home. It's a really dumpy neighborhood. Across the street is all boarded up. It's almost directly under the train tracks. I can see why he'd be so money driven growing up in this place. http://www.google.com/#psj=1&q=1805+e+hazzard+philadelphia+pennsylvania&safe=off Reminds me of Western Avenue. It used to be a nice middle class area and now it's a slum.
