The Criminal Investigation (Cont…)
Gary and Donna wanted to record the phone call that Bryan Eastin had arranged with Ofc. Holt.
Bryan Eastin would be basically questioning his clients about the money he had taken from the trust and fraudulently awarded to the Johansons.

On Monday, Eastin called (late) and spoke with the Johansons.Eastin asked the Johanson a series of questions, making a show of it.

Gary and Donna Johanson stated they were surprised at the line of questioning by Bryan Eastin.

After listening to the recording and finding the line of questing relatively insulting, Nick and Niki stated to Gary and Donna Johanson didn’t appeared to be anything wrong and there should be nothing to worry about in the future.

On February 2nd., 2017 Burlington Washington Police Department drops the investigation against Gary & Donna Johanson.
Burlington Washington
Department of Social & Health Services
On February 2nd., 2017, the Casavellis was contacted by the Adult Protective Services in Tacoma Washington.
The Adult Protective Services was inquiring about Joyce D. Johanson and seeking information about the circumstances of the financial exploitation of Joyce.
An investigator was assigned by the name Alex Oomen. Alex investigated Gary T. Johanson for approximately nine months, which Bryan Eastin also injected himself further into that investigation.
By October 2017 Washington Department of social health services was ready to file charges against Gary T. Johanson for financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult (Joyce Johanson).
Bryan Eastin convinced the Johansons the only way to avert the criminal investigation that Bryan Eastin Caused by Unlawfully closing the irrevocable trust and falsely awarding it’s asset, the bank account, to the Johansons, was to file a lawsuit claiming the Johansons are vulnerable adults.
On July 18, 2017, Brian Eastin of provident law PLLC (Bryan Eastin changed law firms in February 2017), had Mr. and Mrs. Johanson sign a letter of engagement. Eastin then initiated the steps to file a litigation against the Casavellis in Maricopa County Superior Court.
Nicholas Casavelli was agent for GARPDON LLC. Gary T. & Donna J. Johanson’s LLC.
For approximately two months, Bryan Eastin made contact with and had numerous conversations with the Casavelli’s asking pertinent questions pertaining to the litigation he was preparing to file against the Casavelli’s.
Bryan Eastin never disclosed to the Casavelli’s he had been retained by the Johanson’s to file suit against them.
Bryan Eastin filed a lawsuit in Maricopa County Superior Court on September 6th.2017.
Mr. and Mrs. Casavelli did not discover attorney Bryan Eastin was retained until September 15, 2017.
Bryan Eastin files a Lis pendens on September 7, 2017 on the Casavelli’s residence and serves the Casavelli’s attorney on October 19, 2017, with the summons and complaint of the litigation in Maricopa County Superior Court.
Now the complaint being filed, within the next nine days, Bryan Eastin sends a copy of the complaint to Burlington Washington authorities.
Washington authorities dismiss the investigation on Gary T. Johanson due to the lawsuit being actually filed.
The Lawsuit – CV 2017-055490
A lawsuit was filed on September 6th. 2017. A affidavit of service of process was filed with the court on October 23rd., 2017. a acceptance of service of process was filed on October 31st., 2017.
Filing both service of process and acceptance of service is not necessary, only one or the other is required!
Now if a party agrees to waive service or agree to being served. An Acceptance of service
of process must be filed with the court (A.R.C.P. Rule 4 (f) (2)).
Eastin in his haste to give a copy of the lawsuit being served to the Washington State authorities, forged an affidavit of service of process and filed it with the court on October 23rd., 2017.
This was intended to get the Criminal investigation against the Johansons dismissed. As it did on October 30th., 2017.
If you are served by a process server, there is no need to waive service of process because obviously, you’ve been served.
After the commencement of the lawsuit, on or about April 10, 2018 the Johanson’s made their first disclosure statement contained within the disclosure statement was the Casavelli’s alleged financial records.
Upon examination of these financial records, the Casavelli’s notice numerous discrepancies not consistent with the Casavelli’s knowledge of their financial records.
The Subpoena
The Casavelli’s asked their attorney (Gregory Hinkle) as to how Brian Eastin and the Johansons obtained the Casavelli’s alleged financial records.
Greg Hinkle stated he did not know. Greg Hinkle stated he did not receive any copies of any subpoenas.
When Bryan Eastin was asked about the Subpoenas, Eastin stated; he obtained two subpoenas on October 19, 2017 and served them upon the financial institutions (Bank[s]) and emailed the Casavelli’s attorney copies of the subpoenas.
A complaint was made to the State Bar of Arizona about Eastin obtaining the Casavelli’s financial documents.
The complaint was assigned to Steve Little, I will explain the details of the Az. State bar a bit later. This will give insight to the operations of the corruption in the state judiciary.
The acts described and committed by Eastin violated several Arizona Rules of civil procedure and Arizona Laws.
Bryan Eastin violated Arizona Rules Of Civil Procedure (A.R.C.P.) Rule 45 (d) (3), A copy of every subpoena and any proof of service must be served on every other party in accordance with Rule 5(c).
Eastin did not properly serve the subpoena, he didn’t serve the subpoena at all.
Eastin violated A.R.S.§13-2002 Forgery. Eastin committed forgery with the intent to defraud the Casavellis by Falsely making a completed subpoena duces tecum.
Eastin violated A.R.S.§13-2310 Fraudulent schemes and artifices, by manufacturing a known forged subpoena with the intent to commit fraud by falsely obtaining financial records from BBVA Bank (now PNC Bank) at branch level by sending BBVA Bank the forged subpoena via e-mail/mail to the bank branch in Peoria Arizona, instead of sending the forged document to BBVA’s legal department in Birmingham Alabama.
BBVA Bank did respond at the branch level by pulling the financial records of the Casavellis and releasing the records to Eastin. BBVA Bank not only produced the Casavelli’s financial records, BBVA Bank released information of 24 other BBVA customers.
BBVA and Bryan Eastin’s act[s] violated the Casavellis right to privacy and was negligent with the Casavelli’s personal private unpublished information.
Attorney Bryan Eastin of Provident Law
Provident Law PLLC
(in 2016 Eastin worked for Platt & Westby) obtained financial documents from BBVA at Branch Level using a forged Subpoena duces tecum.
It is evident the subpoena was forged when the court seals are compared.
Brian Eastin and provident law, began to forge more documents in the Maricopa County Superior court, made more mis-representations to the court, via oral argument and motions, which eventually led to conspiracy and bribery.
Brian Eastin increased the manufacturing and submitting of forged documents into Maricopa County Superior court.
The Johansons was aware of some of the forged documents by Brian Eastin.
Donna Johanson stated herself to the Casavellis after inviting the Casavellis to their residence on December 1, 2018, that she was aware of the forged subpoenas, Brian Eastin is claiming to have validly obtained and served the two subpoena duces tecum, one on U.S. Bank and the other on BBVA bank.
