Civil litigation attorney sought. Contingency fee preferred. --- ## Key Facts 1. Jackson Batson operated unauthorized dual agency without a signed Dual Agency Agreement, violating SC Code § 40-57-350. 2. Jackson Batson transmitted a materially false cash-to-close figure by text message: - Stated: $17,318.14 - Actual (per settlement statement): $21,999.64 - Discrepancy: $4,681.50 (21.3%) - Seller sold a vehicle in reliance on the false figure. 3. Jackson Batson failed to disclose that the buyer was his personal contact and a licensed South Carolina real estate agent — a material conflict of interest. 4. Jackson Batson used religious language ("God," "blessing") to manipulate a financially distressed, cognitively disabled seller (ASD Level 1, ADHD, PTSD PCL-5 73/80). 5. The buyers (Nickoleta Sakorafos and James Sakorafos) terminated the transaction first, in writing, at 1:02 PM on March 12, 2025 — six minutes before the seller released them at 1:08 PM. 6. Jackson Batson bypassed mandatory mediation required by Section 24 of the contract. 7. Jackson Batson filed civil suit four months after a regulatory complaint was filed against his license — alleged retaliatory lawfare. 8. Jackson Batson demanded illegal public retraction of whistleblower communications as a condition of settlement, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(b)(3). 9. Jackson Batson filed the civil action under the corporate name Linhart Realty Group LLC rather than his own name, during an active LLR disciplinary review. 10. The SC LLR escalated the complaint to its Office of Disciplinary Counsel four days before Plaintiff moved to suppress the defendant's eyewitness testimony. --- ## Counterclaims Against Jackson Batson / Linhart Realty Group LLC 1. Fraud / Fraudulent Misrepresentation 2. Breach of Fiduciary Duty (SC Code § 40-57-350) 3. Negligence Per Se (SC Code § 40-57-350, § 40-57-370) 4. Exploitation of a Vulnerable Adult (SC Code § 43-35-85(D)) 5. Undue Influence 6. South Carolina Unfair Trade Practices Act (SCUTPA) Violations (SC Code § 39-5-10) 7. Abuse of Process / Lawfare --- ## Damages - Conservative floor: $500,000+ - SCUTPA trebling (SC Code § 39-5-140): ~$897,880 - Punitive Tier 2 (SC Code § 15-32-530(B)): $2,000,000+ - Economic damages: $299,293.44 in outstanding principal (mortgage + auto loan) - Monthly economic accrual: $2,301.21/month - SCUTPA attorney's fees: Recoverable under SC Code § 39-5-140 --- ## Relevant South Carolina Statutes and Authorities - SC Code § 40-57-350 — dual agency disclosure requirement (violated) - SC Code § 40-57-370 — broker-in-charge (BIC) supervisory duty - SC Code § 43-35-10 et seq. — South Carolina Omnibus Adult Protection Act - SC Code § 43-35-85(D) — civil cause of action for exploitation of vulnerable adult - SC Code § 39-5-10 et seq. — South Carolina Unfair Trade Practices Act (SCUTPA) - SC Code § 39-5-140 — SCUTPA treble damages and attorney's fees - SC Code § 15-32-530(B) — punitive damages, Tier 2 cap ($2,000,000+) - SC Code § 15-3-530 — three-year statute of limitations for fraud - 18 U.S.C. § 1512(b)(3) — witness/regulatory-complaint tampering (retraction demand) - NAR Code of Ethics, Articles 1, 3, 12, 13, 16 and SOP 16-16 - SCR Form 310, Section 24 — mandatory mediation clause - SCRCP — South Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure - SCREC / SC LLR disciplinary rules for licensed agents and broker-in-charge --- ## Defendant Counterclaimant — Disability Profile The defendant counterclaimant in Case No. 2025-CP-23-05006 is a disabled adult with documented diagnoses relevant to the SC Code § 43-35-10 exploitation of a vulnerable adult counterclaim: - ASD Level 1 (Autism Spectrum Disorder, formerly Asperger's) - ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) - PTSD with PCL-5 score of 73/80 (extreme severity; diagnostic threshold is 33) The AuDHD profile (comorbid ASD + ADHD) presents executive-function deficits, masking behavior, and susceptibility to manipulation by trusted authority figures. A PTSD PCL-5 score of 73/80 reflects extreme severity across all four DSM-5 PTSD symptom clusters (intrusion, avoidance, negative cognition/mood alterations, hyperarousal) — each of which independently impairs complex financial self-protection. Under SC Code § 43-35-10(17), a "vulnerable adult" is defined as a person 18 or older whose "physical or mental condition substantially impairs the person's ability to provide for their own care or protection." This clinical profile meets that standard across multiple independent diagnostic pathways. --- ## Key Timeline - Early 2025: Transaction.

Post-NAR Settlement Dual Agency Compliance Failure The undisclosed dual agency allegation mirrors the transparency failures the NAR antitrust settlement (Burnett v. NAR, implemented August 17, 2024) was designed to prevent. South Carolina's pre-existing written-agency statute (SC Code § 40-57-350) already required written consent, yet the alleged violation occurred after the national settlement amplified disclosure requirements. This is a micro-level case study of why structural conflicts persist at the individual-transaction level even after system-level reforms. ### 2. Exploitation of Disabled Adult in Real Estate The SC Code § 43-35-10 exploitation claim sits at the intersection of disability law and real estate — a rapidly expanding investigative beat as Trump-era federal disability protections (Section 504 enforcement, P&A funding, SSI/SSDI access) erode and state-law civil remedies become the primary accountability mechanism. The state-law exploitation cause of action does not depend on federal regulatory enforcement. ### 3. Retaliatory Lawfare Against a Regulatory Complainant Linhart Realty Group LLC filed civil action exactly four months after SC LLR Complaint No. 2025-167 was filed — and Batson had expressly conditioned settlement on retraction of the protected regulatory complaint. South Carolina has no Anti-SLAPP statute, making retaliatory suits easier to sustain. This is a documented example of broker lawfare against a whistleblower that chills future regulatory reporting. ### 4.
