Fraud Suit Seeks Oust Of Dentist In Shaker Heights

A Common Pleas Court suit accuses a white middle man of fraud and conspiracy to rescind a $45 500 Shaker Heights home sale to Dr James Robinson and Dr Lela Robinson, seeking $200 000 for reputation damage while naming Helper Bros Building Co as plaintiff. The case centers on a red brick two story home in the Shaker Lakes area and alleges a scheme to defraud the plaintiffs. The deed was recorded Sept 26 after the Sept 6 purchase by attorney Walter S Haffner and wife, with the Robinsons later buying the house. The claim states the Haffners acted for the Robinsons in a devious transfer intended to deprive the plaintiffs. The Robinsons say they bought the house and aim to remain in the community. The report includes nearby properties valued around $60,000. The suit was filed Wednesday and cites the defendants’ involvement in the alleged scheme.
