We are all meant to shine

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Marianne Williamson

Phone call to detective Jeff Nolta, city of Fife Detective, follow up email

Mr. Nolta,

This is Heather Benedict confirming I called your office this morning and left a message requesting time to seek counsel before you complete your investigation. 

I am a victim of identity fraud and have reported this to the FTC, FBI and local police department; (example of ID theft outlined email below where someone has set up an email and posed as me and contacted my cousin, David Hippensteel.) I am not sure how much of my report I need to share with you and would like to consult an attorney before doing so. I have also passed on your information to federal, local and state law enforcement agencies currently assisting me and they may be in contact with you today as well.  Hopefully you can cooperate with their open investigations too. 

As of 7:40PM last night, i now understand your investigation involves Ken Luce, whom was the city of fife's judge for 20 years.  You being employed by Fife, am uneasy about your bias and favoritism towards him, which is why I seek an attorney. I am not a resident of Fife and do not frequent your city. 

Additionally, given the recent sad news of the police shooting in Minnesota of an innocent blonde 40 year old single Caucasian female from Australia (similar to myself), am somewhat even more fearful to talk to any police officer and at random, especially one deployed by Ken Luce who has stated to me and before two other witnesses that it easier to shoot (kill) an opponent [than fight them in court].  I have testified to his statement as a public declaration in the King County Superior Court.  

I am currently part of the WA State Address Confidentiality program and a victim of domestic violence. I find your abrupt email from yesterday somewhat harassing and intimidating.   Common courtesy would be to send a letter, set up a time to talk and disclose my legal rights. You have not done this.  

While I seek to find an attorney this morning am awfully frightened of you, as you could be covering up Mr. Luce's own criminal activities on his behalf, which may go beyond Id theft  and could include concealing my late mother's will, elder abuse and undue influence.  Is this investigation just a distraction from the real criminal activities which may have taken place at Luce Law Firm? That is a question and not a statement. 

Further, i would prefer to arrange an in-person meeting in a safe location to verify you are not Ken Luce, Jim or Erik Mickelson just pretending to be a detective trying to incriminate me.  

You must also understand that I am not an attorney.  

Thank you,

Heather 

Fife Police detective Jeff Nolta outreach

This email came in today from the Fife Police detective and omits any content or reason for his inquiry.  Sounds official but weird. Maybe he's investigating undue influence? On second thought, according to Mr. John Nolta, at 7pm this evening, not even 12 hours since he first emailed me, Mr. Nolta states:

"This concerns a criminal allegation made by Ken Luce. I am not able to conduct an interview via  email. I will complete my investigation without your statement.

Monday, July 3rd hearing: one-sided petition for attorney fees

Attorney Ken Luce recently visited King County Superior Court, hoping to secure a $62,000+ paycheck through an order from his Freemason associate, Commissioner Carlos Velategui. On the morning of July 3rd, Commissioner Velategui initially told Mr. Luce, "Come on up, I'll sign your order." However, a sudden change of heart occurred.

The daughter from whom Mr. Luce is seeking the $62,000 presented a well-documented and thorough working copy detailing Mr. Luce's negligence as an attorney. This included a Notice of Investigation (indicating that Luce is under investigation by the Washington State Bar Association) and a Notice of Court of Appeals Division I.

Yes, you read that correctly. For those following this case, this marks the third filing in a Court of Appeals in Washington State. One must wonder, when will Mr. Luce decide that enough is enough and agree to family mediation, which has always been the preferred route by all heirs?

Exposing Disturbing Promotions - Luce & Associates cross promotion with Northwest Custom Apparel to Promote Drunk Driving

Not only can Luce & Associates make your late wife's last will and testament disappear, but attorney Ken Luce can also use his dirty tactics and political connections to make your DUI charges vanish too—guaranteed! Don't have a DUI? Don’t drink and drive? Why not? Kenyon Luce will get you off for FREE! Compliments of Northwest Embroidery and NW Custom Apparel.

This St. Patty's Day, buy a custom family t-shirt at NW Custom Apparel for $19.99 and drink all you want. If you get pulled over while wearing their t-shirt, they will cover Luce & Associates' attorney fees.

This might be the most disgusting promotion I have ever seen. Encouraging people to get drunk, drive, put lives in danger, and trust that Ken Luce will get them off because he's friends with Jim and Erik Mickelson of NW Custom Apparel is beyond reprehensible.

The transcript of the video:

JAMES MICKELSON: What you take a look at this one we've got Luce's private club and you know who Luce is? He is one of the better drunk driving attorneys in the city of Fife so if you wear your t-shirt to hit one of these bars you can call Ken because if you have a shirt on he'll represent you for free! so have a nice day and let's all Erin go bragh and this is crazy but I want to be on TV. 

   

Luce's Response to Mandated Mediation

Luce and Associates have opted against the court ordered mediation.  Attorney Christi Goeller responds the mediation company and myself hoping to schedule mediation to keep the matter out of the courts. 

 

My response to All parties:

All Parties,

An active Order for Mediation, signed by Presiding Judge Frank Cuthbertson in Pierce County Superior Court in November 18, 2106, is a separate matter from the dismissal of the intestacy petition.  

I will be moving forward with a petition to compel compliance on all parties opting against the court mandated mediation.  

@Christi, do you have a preference as to which Friday I schedule your clients' uncompliance petition?

Regards, 

Heather Mickelson

From Christi Goeller to Mediation company:

Hi Judy,

We are not agreeable to mediation at this time. The Pierce County case that forms the basis for Ms. Mickelson’s mediation request is currently considered dismissed at the Superior Court level and is pending an appeal by Ms. Mickelson. Therefore, it is our position that there is no case to mediate at this time.

Sincerely,

Christi C. Goeller

Probate hearing before Carlos Velategui, Commissioner, King County, Washington State

Heather Mickelson vs Jim Mickelson (Counsel, Anthony Taylor with Luce & Associates), hearing date on January 3, 2017, for the estate of Leeanna Ruth Mickelson.
Can a probate be really dismissed? Does a Community Property Agreement trump an intestate ruling? Can one heir sanction another heir for opening probate? Commissioner Carlos Velategui rules against a pro-se heir in favor of an attorney. Pierce County Superior Court dismissed probate so an heir brought probate to King County, allowed by Washington State law. His decision is up for Revision as a CPA does not belong in probate, it is real property and does not hold up for property held out of state. An heir has the human right to rule that their late-mother passed away without a will.
