The designer continued to say that her lawyer, Dan Lynch, and the plaintiffs' lawyers worked closely and “cooperatively” to resolve the lawsuit. Gramenos said that she and the plaintiffs agreed on a statement to serve as the “final word on the dispute,” below:
“Plaintiffs Shane C. Jones and Samantha V. Mostaccio have voluntarily resolved their claims related to the construction project at 1700 Wabansia. They have done this after consultation with their new counsel, the law office of Jayaram Law, Inc. who has provided effective legal advice and counseling. The amount received for plaintiffs' claims has satisfied plaintiffs that Alison Victoria Gramenos and Ermin Pajazetovic (owner of Space Builders) have acted appropriately with respect to resolving the disputes that led to the lawsuit. Plaintiffs have agreed to comment no further on the project and Ms. Gramenos and Mr. Pajazetovic are grateful that plaintiffs are now satisfied and that this unfortunate misunderstanding has been put behind them.”
Jayaram Law, Inc. did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Jones and Mostaccio, who were featured on season 1, episode 7, titled “House of Horrors,“filed the lawsuitback in April in Cook County, Illinois.
The pair purchased the home in spring 2019 for $1.3 million.
