CHARLESTON, W.Virginia — Gov. Jim Justice has settled two lawsuits brought by companies that personally pursued him over millions of dollars.

Siemens Financial Services, which is trying to collect $2.79 million, has agreed to a settlement, Siemens spokeswoman Annie Satow confirmed.

That information wasn’t part of a MetroNews story earlier this week about attempts to collect the debt.

The judiciary, asked earlier this year about debt cases in the court system, said everything was being dealt with in a timely manner.

“At the end of the day, I’d tell you one thing: Don’t worry about my stuff,” Justice said.

“Don’t worry about my business. Don’t worry about anything in the world except this condition. That’s what you should focus on, that state. Because everything is going to be fine in my business world.”

Siemens will not disclose the terms of the settlement, Satow said. The date of the comparison was not yet clear.

A notice of satisfaction of the judgment has not yet appeared on the filing card for the lawsuit in the New Jersey court system. The West Virginia office of the Greenbrier Circuit Clerk, where a recent recovery effort was attempted, said there was no notice on file that the verdict was satisfied.

Another multi-million dollar lawsuit against Justice was also recently settled.

That case, filed by Middletown Valley Bank in the Maryland Court System, was settled last week. The bank had pursued his family’s Justice Family Farms for $1,479,791.13.

The case is now listed as “closed” in the Maryland court system.

The Greenbrier clerk also received an order of satisfaction on July 9 in the Middletown Valley Bank case. The accompanying document describes this case as “paid, done and satisfied”.

Justice was scheduled to appear in person before a hearing examiner in Frederick, Maryland last Monday, but the settlement made that unnecessary.

The Maryland case began two years ago when Middletown Valley Bank filed a lawsuit over outstanding debt. Its debt collection efforts began and stopped during this time, with the judiciary repaying parts of it ahead of last week’s settlement.

The Siemens Financial case was similar.

The company had been suing Justice since April 2018 over a nearly $4 million personally guaranteed loan. Justice agreed to pay the money in a New Jersey court order late last year.

Over the next few months, Justice made some payments on the debt, records showed. But a Siemens attorney filed a foreign judgment complaint in Greenbrier County this spring to begin collection attempts from Justice’s bank accounts.

Justice and its companies also recently began paying off other debts.

Last month, US District Judge Irene Berger approved a plan to pay off a long-standing $1.23 million civil contempt sentence against Justice Energy.

Bluestone Resources, an affiliated law firm, pledged three installments of $410,000 each. The first installment was due on June 17th, the second on September 16th and the third on November 15th.

Also last month, several Kentucky counties received checks totaling nearly $1.2 million last week, with Justice companies pledging to pay an equal amount in the coming months.

Kentucky’s payment arrangements have paid off years of tax debt.

“That’s a really positive thing,” Justice’s son, Jay, told Lexington’s Herald-Leader. “We all know these counties are in dire need of those dollars.”

And also last month, James C. Justice Cos. a payment of $404,654.48 to cover back taxes in Albemarle County, Virginia, where the county had begun the tax sale process for 52 of the Company’s 55 parcels.

Last week, Justice and his family donated 4,500 acres in the same area for a conservation easement.

The property, Presidential Estates, is located just outside of downtown Charlottesville and overlooks the home of Thomas Jefferson.

“West Virginia Governor Jim Justice and the Justice family are delighted with this record easement donation, which will help protect the natural beauty of central Virginia and ensure that open spaces and the rich history of this area are preserved remain,” said Jay Justice, the governor’s son who runs the coal and farming operations.
