JASON HANSON v. JARED E. SHAFER, et. al.
Current Hearing Schedule:
Case No. A-17-758506-C
Location: Department 10, Clark Co. Regional Justice Center
12/21/2017 Status Check (9:30 AM) (Judicial Officer Jones, Tierra) IN-CAMERA REVIEW
12/21/2017 Motion for Judgment (9:30 AM) (Judicial Officer Jones, Tierra)

LAS VEGAS: Guardianship exploitation victim Jason Hanson will appear on Thursday, Dec. 21 at 9:30 AM in Dept 10 of Clark County District Court to hear Judge Tierra Jones’ ruling as to whether his case should be dismissed based on the statute of limitations, or continue on to trial by jury.

Defendants argue that Hanson should have filed his lawsuit against his guardians and trustees/attorneys in 2007 upon his 18th birthday, but instead waited until 2016 to file suit following his testimony before the Nevada Supreme Court Guardianship Commission, at which time Hanson argues that he, for the first time, realized he had been severely taken advantage of and misrepresented by court appointed private guardians and trustees.

IN JASON’S OWN WORDS:

 At a previous hearing, Judge Jones ordered Family Court videos of Jason appearing in 2007 before Guardianship Hearing Master Jon Norheim when Hanson requested, and was refused, a court paid for attorney. Judge Jones reviewed the court videos to determine if Hanson was able at that time to understand the proceedings, and if so, realize he should file a lawsuit then, not years later.

Speculation On Why Jared Shafer

Has Not Yet Been Indicted

“Adam Woodrum, an estate lawyer in Las Vegas,
(worked with) several wards and their families
who have brought their complaints to the police.
‘They can’t even get their foot in the door,’ he said.”
The New Yorker Magazine, Oct. 9, 2017

“Only federal intervention is going
to give us peace of mind.”
Steve Miller, The New Yorker Magazine, Oct. 9, 2017

LAS VEGAS – His name sends chills up and down the spines of hundreds of exploited senior citizens, disabled people, and their families.  I’m often asked why private professional guardian, Jared E. Shafer, is still at large after his criminal activities have been exposed time and again on local and national media, and he’s been the subject of over four years of criminal investigation by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Abuse and Neglect Detail.

The New Yorker Magazine, ABC affiliate KTNV TV Channel 13 News, and the Las Vegas Review-Journal have all done stories on Shafer’s exploits. “How the Elderly Lose Their Rights.”  “Fraud and embezzlement alleged in guardianship lawsuit.” “Clark County’s private guardians may protect, or just steal and abuse,” are just some of the damning headlines about Shafer, but he remains unscathed.  Why?  I believe I have an answer.

In 1979, then Clark County Commission chairman, Manny Cortez, was approached by his longtime friend, Jared Shafer, who was out of work.  Shafer had resigned as president of Rom-Amer Pharmaceuticals, LTD, a publically traded company that had its anti-aging product banned by the FDA, a dangerous cure all product called Gerovital H3 that was peddled to senior citizens and caused several deaths.  The SEC on March 25, 1977 announced “TRADING SUSPENDED IN ROM-AMER PHARMACEUTICALS, LTD.”

Shafer and Cortez’ friendship went back a long way, all the way to the 1964 birth of Cortez’ daughter, Catherine, who was honored by having Jared Shafer named as her godfather.  But years later, in his time of need, Commissioner Cortez found the perfect job for his unemployed pal based on Shafer’s quasi-experience with senior citizens. Cortez appointed Shafer as Clark County’s third Public Administrator and Public Guardian (the first two were removed for corruption.)

Jason Hanson’s Case Makes Its Way Through Court System

 

LAS VEGAS – Guardianship exploitation victim Jason Hanson, 28, went to court on Tuesday, October 24, to seek a Summary Judgment in his Breach of Fiduciary Duties lawsuit against attorneys FRANCES-ANN FINE;  DARA GOLDSMITH; and ELYSE TYREL; along with private guardian JARED E. SHAFER and his business PROFESSIONAL FIDUCIARY SERVICES OF NEVADA, INC.; and Clark County Public Administrator JOHN CAHILL

District Court Judge Tierra Jones heard lengthy oral arguments from Hanson’s attorney Jacob Hafter, and from five attorneys representing the defendants.

In Hafter’s opening statement, he gave the judge a summation of his client’s complaint against those who were appointed by Clark County Family Court Hearing Master Jon Norheim to care for his physical and financial needs.  Hafter told the court that after Hanson, a cerebral palsy victim, turned 18 years of age in 2007, a cadre of guardianship insiders, under color of law, mishandled or misappropriated his inheritance and estate leaving Hanson penniless and a burden on the taxpayers.
