Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine’s office filed a lawsuit Monday in Butler County Common Pleas Court seeking more than $25,000 in restitution for each consumer allegedly defrauded by two Trenton men.

The suit claims that Jacob Wagers and James Sasser, both of Trenton, — doing business as Ohio Insurance Assessments, a roofing and siding company with an office in Hamilton — failed to deliver work on several occasions and did not provide refunds to consumers.

“Ohio has laws to protect consumers and when they are harmed by poor workmanship or receive nothing at all for their money, we will take action to enforce those laws,” DeWine said.

The suit contends that the two men solicited business door-to-door and accepted payments for repair and construction projects in several Ohio counties, including Butler County. In addition to not performing any work, in other instances the work performed was shoddy and the quality of products used was poorer than what consumers had been told would be provided.

Consumers were also not notified by the defendants of their right to cancel, a violation of the Ohio’s Home Sales Solicitation Act, according to the lawsuit.

The Ohio Attorney General’s Office advises consumers when hiring someone for home improvement or repair work, a written contract should be signed by the consumer and contractor. The contract should detail all necessary information for the completing work, including time frame, a description of work, materials to be used, payment forms and options, oral promises, and changes to be made to the contract.

In addition to restitution, the Attorney General’s Office is also seeking injunctive relief and penalties.

Wagers and Sasser were sued in June 2011 by Scott and Trisha King, of Hamilton, who made similar and additional claims. That suit was scheduled for a mediation hearing last week before Common Pleas Judge Patricia Oney, but a result of the hearing is not known. Neither Patrick Binns, the Trenton attorney representing Ohio Insurance Assessments, nor Patrick O’Neill, the Cincinnati attorney representing the Kings could be reached Monday for comment.
