JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (Legal Newsline) - Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster filed lawsuits on Tuesday against three home remodeling companies for allegedly taking upfront payments from consumers without finishing the work as promised.
JD Global LLC and Jeremiah Osterhoff, the company's owner, allegedly collected more than $10,000 for goods they did not provide. Granite World LLC and William Becker, the company's owner, allegedly took upfront payments of at least $6,000 to cut and install granite and failed to deliver.

The Clay County-based JD Global allegedly sold hot tubs and bathroom fixtures to Missourians, took upfront deposits and then failed to deliver the hot tubs or fixtures.
