Billy's Story
An interesting guy with a colorful life









Dog Rescuer & Civic Champion
Billy Paul has rescued an incredible 34 dogs throughout his life, giving them homes and a second chance when no one else would. His love for animals is just one aspect of his remarkable character.
As an active member of his community, Billy has been deeply involved in civic affairs. From championing the widening of the boardwalk to numerous other community improvement initiatives, Billy has always put San Diego first.
Proud Marine Veteran
Billy served his country with honor as a Marine from [YEAR] to [YEAR]. Known for his intelligence, humor, and typical Marine saltiness, Billy exemplifies the best qualities of our veterans.
A Human Story
Despite all his contributions, Billy has struggled with a hoarding condition - a mental health challenge that affects many Americans. His home had fallen into disrepair as a result of this condition, requiring intervention.
"I may have rescued those dogs, but they rescued me right back."
The Situation
Case Summary
Billy Paul, a veteran and valued community member, struggles with hoarding disorder - a recognized mental health condition. Following city interventions, Billy now faces excessive legal fees threatening his home.
Our petition aims to appeal to higher authorities to review his case and prevent him from losing his home due to disproportionate legal costs.
The Hoarding Situation
Despite being an upstanding community member and veteran, Billy's mental health challenges led to a hoarding situation at his property. This is a common struggle for many Americans and requires compassion, not punishment.
Court Order & Repairs
An honorable judge named [JUDGE NAME] ordered that Billy's property be brought back to an acceptable standard for the city of San Diego. A contractor completed the necessary electrical, plumbing, and junk removal work, charging $29,750.
Excessive Legal Fees
Despite the property now meeting city standards, Griswold Law and the Deputy City Attorney for the City of San Diego, Jennifer Jacobelli, are demanding an additional $70,000 for their legal services to "administer" the case.
Threat to Billy's Home
If these excessive fees aren't paid, Griswold Law is threatening to force the sale of Billy's home. This greedy approach by the bureaucratic administrative class is hurting vulnerable veterans like Billy who have served our country honorably.
Why This Matters:
The deputy city attorney's approach is harmful to San Diego and its veterans. We believe this case represents an abuse of power against our community's vulnerable members.
