Description
When planning for a dream pool, the last place you would expect to end up is in court. But that's where you'll find Carmen Simpson.
She goes to every hearing for Olympus Pools Owner James Staten who faces multiple felonies and even a lifetime ban from owning another pool company after customers say he left them high and dry.
Simpson signed a contract with Olympus back in 2016, but years later, she was left with just a pond instead of a pool and a push to change the law, so this never happens to another homeowner.
“It was never completed,” Simpson said. “I hired engineers right away to come out and see what the problem with the pool was because water was backing up into the kitchen right away. And every time it rained, water came into the kitchen.”
