Norma Goldman Dear Loren: Following up my prior correspondence Wi?i you and our phone conversation, I am providing the. following information to you: 1. EXhibit 1A GA - Description Location 2. Exhibit 113? GA Drawing; 3. Exhibit 2A - Topical Outline of Excessive Costs; U.) Exhibit 3 - interior - Notes 6/24/14 (defects; non-compliance; excess; lack of knowledge) vii/photos} A review of this documentation indicates that Mr. Golisano was vastly overcharged for the goods and serves provided contrary to the promises made by Ms. Goldman. Furthermore as a purported professional consultant, her deviation from an acceptable standard of care and performance is nothing less than dramatic as outlined below: Doing an interior design and refurbishing on a lumin yacht is an unique enterprise. A competent designer would insist on a superior level of personalized attention to the client, including numerous onsite visits. Creating a lasting impact is important in the overall interior decoration of a luxury yacht, but effective space planning is key to a successful design. 36 Niain Street West, Suite 500 Rochester, New York 14614 Telephone: 585.546.7830 - Facsimile: 585.546-6185 fan and e-mail not for service Loren H. Kroll, Esq. Loren H. Kroll, LLC Page 2 July 27, 2015 In that context, it is necessary for the consultant, as a matter of course, to incorporate free?hand renderings, photovrealistic renderings and auto?CAD drafting to create the design concepts and implementation of the refurbishing plans. The providing of these fundamental services is necessary to insure that the end result is not only pleasing to the eye, but also functional. Additionally, it is necessary for the consultant to work closely with the Captain and crew to insure that all aSpects of the interior and implementation of the refurbishing are fully coordinated and supervised. DeSpite repeated requests by the Captain and Purser, this was never accomplished. Specifically, Ms. Goldman was unaware of and never discussed trends and tendencies regarding innovative materials and technologies to be implemented in luxury yacht interiors. Available light weight solutions and business practices to improve products and reduce costs were not discussed or explained. Also, Ms. Goldman was unaware of the regulatory environment that impacts interior design and refurbishing of a high?end luxury yacht. Examples of same of the de?ciencies are shown on photos in Exhibit 3, No. 18 the number of pillows in the sun deck sitting room; 6 Fading on the couch in the owner?s study; a Defective nailing on the furniture as shown in photograph 19; Swivel chairs that restricted the turn radius because of a ?xed table as shown in photographs 1mg. 4692, 4693, and 4694. Norma Goldman and/ or Vitoch Interiors were paid the following Stuns: 12/18/2013 Norma Goldman $40,000.00 2/ 1 8/2013 Vitoch Interiors 175,000.00 02/10/2014 Norma Goldman 240,000.00 02/10/2014 Vitoch Interiors 100,000.00 Loren H. Kroll, Esq. Loren H. Kroll, LLC Page 3 July 27, 2015 03/26/2014 Vitoch Interiors 75,000.00 03/26/2014 Norma Goldman 156,000.00 06/04/2014 Norma Goldman 58,867.34 Total Paid $844,867.34 Ms. Goldman told Mr. Golisano that her only charge/fee would be $140 per hour. A review of the documentation provided indicates that Mr. Golisano was billed approximately 242 hours at $140 an hour for a total hourly compensation of $3 3,800.00. Also, Mr! Golisano was told, in ?ont of witnesses, that he would pay wholesale costs or Ms. Goldman?s preferred price for all materials. Apparently everything sold to Mr. Golisano appears to be at a 100% mark-up. Therefore, the computation of damages is as follows: Total Paid $844,867.34 Minus hourly rate paid 33.80000 Balance $811,067.34 Accordingly, it is based upon the above these ?gures and analysis that Mr. Golisano feels he is entitled to a refund in the amount of $400,000.
