Defendants Goldstein, et al. claimed that valuable domain names (including AndJusticeForAll.com) had been either gifted or earned by Goldstein and/or his companies, and the Defendants have demanded arbitration (with an arbitrator chosen by the Defendants, local attorney Kelley B. Duke). Defendants demand that Kelley B. Duke "award" Goldstein 100+ highly valuable domain names (so Goldstein can transfer the network to his buyer Shawn Miele and Advice Media). The Defendants use this arbitration to conceal uncovered emails and to try to avoid the scheduled jury trial.
*[If you are asking]: "WTF, the Defendants choose another local attorney as their 'arbitrator', and then demanded this arbitrator (that they chose) 'award' them a valuable international web network?? [...then you did "the math" correctly.]
ARBITRATION TRIAL:
Former partner Dan Goldstein admits failing to meet all documented agreements. Nonetheless, Goldstein now demands that he be given ownership rights to assets he failed to earn or pay for. Despite Goldstein’s failures, he asks Arbitrator Kelley B. Duke (whom he chose1) to “award” him:
(1) The valuable domain name “AndJusticeForAll.com™”,
(2) All 100+ web addresses that comprise the Global Law Firms charitable network properties (which Goldstein admits he failed to fulfill his responsibility in the MOU),
(3) The $200,000+ costs of his legal fees, as a result of the fraud & other claims against him,
(4) Goldstein also requests that this private Arbitrator also render rulings on outside claims from an entirely different District Court case awaiting a Jefferson County jury trial, involving outside parties and claims stemming from an entirely different contract23.
1Goldstein chose another attorney (Kelly B. Duke) to be the “judge” in this Arbitration from a private dispute resolution company.
2The entirely separate contract is the formal Operating Agreement. The Operating Agreement is the primary and most comprehensive organizational contract for And Justice For All, LLC. The Arbitrator Kelley B. Duke has already acknowledged that this Operating Agreement is valid, was “developed in tandem” and “exists together” with the much shorter and more limited agreement (MOU or Memorandum of Understanding) which has an arbitration-clause, but is strictly and expressly limited to only involve ownership interests in 100 specified domain names.
3Goldstein asks Arbitrator Kelley B. Duke to issue her ruling on the claims on the expansive, pre-existing lawsuit against Goldstein, his Operations Manager Troy Dunn, and the Utah buyer Advice Media and its owner, Shawn Miele – currently awaiting rightful jury trial.
ARBITRATION RULINGS:
Goldstein-chosen, Arbitrator Kelley B. Duke fails to address the multi-million-dollar sale between Goldstein and his buyer Shawn Miele (Advice Media), which literally requires “a license to use all And Justice For All, LLC directory listings and backlinks for 3 years.” What???
Even further, Arbitrator Kelley B. Duke fails to mention the “eve of sale” ‘smoking gun’ emails found between Goldstein and his buyer (Shawn Miele of Advice Media) noting that the lender bank (financing the multi-million-dollar sale) had determined that this “constructive sale… opens up the avenue for a lawsuit” [by Dr. Wright] arising from Goldstein’s obligations from The Operating Agreement (not the lesser MOU).
Moreover, Kelley B. Duke's ruling shockingly ignores the documented fact that the lender bank required a million-dollar payment be withheld in Escrow, and that Goldstein sign an indemnity agreement in case Dr. Wright discovers the license (and files a lawsuit).
Nonetheless, Kelley B. Duke does not award any of Goldstein’s claims related to the only arbitration-subject agreement – the MOU or Memorandum of Understanding. Goldstein loses his claims for the 100+ domain names that are the sole focus of the MOU. Additionally, Goldstein lost his fraudulent claim for ownership in the high-value domain name AndJusticeForAll.com™.
However, in a gross overreach Kelley B. Duke renders an uninformed opinion on issues of fraud and conspiracy while failing to acknowledge or mention the “smoking gun” late night emails and fact that the multi-million-dollar sales agreement required a 3-year license for over 100 domain names that Dr. Wright owned.
ARBITRATION SCORECARD (nonsensical):
Arbitrator Kelley B. Duke rules against Goldstein (Claimants) for each of the 100+ domain names in the And Justice For All, LLC network – across all of which Goldstein has always admitted he failed to achieve profitability and fulfill the singular requirement of the MOU.
Arbitrator Kelley B. Duke also rules against Goldstein (Claimants) for their claim that Goldstein was given or gifted the valuable AndJusticeForAll.com™ domain name for free.
However, Arbitrator Kelley B. Duke rules that Goldstein loses all his claims, but Duke inexplicably grants that Damages Inc. pay Goldstein's $206,000 in legal fees, even though Damages Inc. won all claims against it (WtF?).
Further confounding, Arbitrator Kelley B. Duke takes it upon herself to rule on claims outside her private Arbitration-attached agreement and into the outside, pre-existing District Court case that is awaiting a rightful Jefferson County jury trial. To emphasize, Arbitrator Kelley B. Duke makes this reaching judgement without yet having any proper Constitutional processes such as discovery or deposition witness testimony conducted. Yet, her honor Duke rules that concealing a 3-year license across Dr. Wright’s network of over 100 domain names (documented clearly in the sales contract and uncovered secret emails) and Goldstein’s other actions did not amount to breach, fraud, conspiracy, or unjust enrichment… [yes, you read Arbitrator Kelley B. Duke’s utter lack of logic correctly].
To summarize, Arbitrator Kelley B. Duke rules that Goldstein failed to fulfill the literal singular requirement of the only agreement tied to Arbitration (the MOU). She further rules that Goldstein’s lies about being given the domain AndJusticeForAll.com™ were unsubstantiated.
Then, Arbitrator Kelley B. Duke confoundingly demands that Damages Inc. (managed by Dr. Wright) pay Goldstein $200K in legal fees after he concealed a multi-million-dollar contract from Dr. Wright (and the designated charities) that committed network of 100+ domain names for 3 entire years. Moreover, Arbitrator Duke finds that uncovered hidden emails, indemnity agreements with million-dollar Escrow requirements of the concerned lender bank, lies and contradictory testimony do not amount to any breaches, fraud or conspiracy.
ARBITRATION MATH:
Network of 100+ Domain Names: GOLDSTEIN LOST
AndJusticeForAll.com™: GOLDSTEIN LOST
Over $200 in legal costs for Goldstein’s
Attempted Theft: GOLDSTEIN WON? (WTF?)
Pardon Goldstein & his Associates for
outside claims, from an outside document,
in an outside case (set for a jury trial: GOLDSTEIN WON? (WTF?)
Thus, Goldstein lied, cheated and stole but gets his legal costs covered and he gets the arbitrator “judge” the Goldstein chose to pardon his associates and make his victim pay.
The logic and math do not add up. The only possible conclusion is that Arbitrator Kelley B. Duke is either staggeringly incompetent or crooked as a snake in motion.
NEXT STAGE: Appeal Hearing May 26th, 2026
Plaintiff James Wright has objected to his personal name (as a non-signatory) being drawn into the arbitration proceeding and ruling. Plaintiffs have filed a formal Appeal with the Jefferson County District Court about the Defendants slippery act of compelling non-signatories into arbitration.
