Attorney General Files Complaint Against A&M Roofing and Sons Alleging Unfair and Deceptive Acts or Practices

Concord, NH – Attorney General John M. Formella announces that a civil complaint was filed in Stafford County Superior Court against William Mourgenos, owner of A&M Roofing and Sons, and his son, Brian Mourgenos, alleging unfair and deceptive acts or practices in violation of the New Hampshire Consumer Protection Act. A&M Roofing and Sons operates out of Somersworth, New Hampshire.

The civil complaint alleges that William Mourgenos committed unfair and deceptive acts or practices against three separate consumers, in that:

• He failed to pay restitution to a consumer from Somersworth, New Hampshire as required by an Assurance of Discontinuance;
• He accepted a deposit for materials from a consumer in Rollingsford, New Hampshire, he did not use the consumer's money for the consumer's job, and he failed to refund the consumer's deposit even though he did no work, all of which violated the Assurance of Discontinuance; and
• He and Brian Mourgenos accepted a cash deposit from a consumer in Kittery, Maine, but did not do any work for the consumer on her property in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and failed to refund the consumer when requested.

The claim against Brian Mourgenos alleges that he accepted the deposit from the consumer in Kittery, Maine, and then failed to complete any work on the consumer's property in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He thereafter failed to provide a refund to the consumer.

The State is seeking restitution, civil penalties, legal fees, and injunctive terms in its civil complaint.

The complaint and the allegations contained therein are merely accusations and William Mourgenos and Brian Mourgenos are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Assistant Attorney General Greg Albert of the Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau is prosecuting this case.
