Allegedly he has swindled/defrauded Investors, Lenders, Service Providers, Tenants and Federal, City, County and State agencies.

Lance Puig owes me $23, 255.00 for landscaping and remodeling work I and my crew did on houses over 2 years ago.
The work was done according to the specifications I was given and it was done in a timely fashion.
The invoices were approved by the “Construction Coordinators” after they were scrutinized for accuracy and property inspections were completed. After that, per agreement by Lance Puig I would be paid immediately after invoice receipt. After piddling around with payment on some smaller invoices I started getting the run-around and every excuse imaginable for not paying.
The lady I was dealing with at the time said that Lance was paying himself $25, 000 a month in salary before any other expense was paid. After that, he paid his contract labor. If there was money left over, then he would pay his bills. From what I was told and from the lack of funds I received, apparently there wasn’t much money left over… instead of paying me he just got another contractor that was willing to give him credit (like I initially did), paid them a little so they would increase the credit limit – then screwed them too… that seems to be Lance Puig’s “M.O.”
My invoices were very complete and were backed-up with photos. The statements I sent (for what seems like 100’s of times) included; my invoice number, the invoice date, the property name, a detailed work description, the date the work was completed, the invoice amount, the name of the construction coordinator that ordered and the name of the construction coordinator that approved the invoice for payment. The remodeling and the paperwork was done very professionally – the client, York Street Properties, is anything but professional.
My name is Mario Silva and I’m a victim of Lance Puig of York Street Properties

PS: York Street, please feel free to pay me, the information’s on my invoices. You have boasted that you have no vendor problems, so
prove it!
I have some information that may be helpful regarding some of the addresses listed under “PUIG”. I know of three companies, real companies that have been the victims of Lance Puig and the Puig Family. One is a local Dallas firm that has written off 26, 000.00 plus of unpaid invoice’s that Lance Puig ran up.
The other a national firm that is owed over 150, 000.00 by Lance Puig and is attempting to locate a way to serve papers. I was introduced to Lance Puig and he is a fraud and scam artist; the business group that made the introduction was approached by him and attended a meeting with him at his father’s office
3424 Gillespie Street #8 Dallas Texas 75219 telephone 214-522-4300.
His father is Winston Puig a phony just like his son. They have a company called HC Companies and Alpha Southwest Partnership; both in the business of ripping off people. The meeting took place on a second floor conference room and the good news is that group he was trying to convince to invest 500, 000.00 passed. Lance Puig and the father have these fancy offices in a residental rental community the father owns.
The father Winston Puig actually lives on the property in #1 and has a office in #8; the remaining units they rent out for 5, 000.00 to 7, 000.00 a month to I suppose wealthy people who have no idea the family is in the business of ripping off who ever they can.
The business group that Lance approached was not impressed by the location which by the way is directly across the street from the Mansion On Turtle Creek Hotel, completely unrelated although the Puig property is made to look as if it is a part of the Rosewood Group, scam! Lance Puig told me that he was “courting” this group and had not decided if he would involve them in his deal, Scam. The group had already told him to take a hike. Lance Puig told me he was a memeber at both the Cresent Club and Dallas Country Club, Scam, he could not get into either club. I referenced a third company, this one is actually an attorney in Dallas, who represents a individual who has some pending matter with the Puig clan.
This attorney is a high brow Highland Park type and his client’s old money and private; his only comment was Very distrubing matter, and shocking details that he would not disclose, only to say it is unbelievable the events that have taken place. His remarks about Lance Puig’s club memebership “laughable” his remarks about his father, “most likely involved with the son’s activity in some way” finally his last words on the matter were I would strongly advise anyone to avoid business, leasing or investing with anyone named Puig or companies they own . In all two great firms who have lost money to this guy and another matter that sounds like it is a money loss.
My well wishes to the friends that avoided dumping a half of million dollars in his lap and my regrets to all these good people that have been scamed by this family. Stay away friom the PUIGS, they are crooks in fancy outfits driving fancy cars and living behind a big gate at 3424 Gillespie. Mini Madoff, he walked the same walk and talked the same talk.
3424 Gillespie is The Villa at the Mansion’s; these are owned by Winston Puig the father of Lance Puig, is he involved as well? We live on Gillespie as well; the property at 3424 Gillespie is offered by Judy Pitman Real Estate in Dallas, she is in to the high rise sales etc. I have heard from others that the Puig’s are difficult to deal with, they use to buy antiques from a well known shop with a connection to the Mansion on Turtle Creek or one its founders Caroline Rose Hunt, rumor has it that Winston Puig would take out items and then not pay for them! What sort of family is this?
Holly Puig is a crook as well and the new wife of Winston Puig, Sheri is in on all this as well, they all live at the property on Gillespie, why the DA is having trouble locating Lance Puig is a mystery go to the office at 3424 Gillespie #8, they know where he is. What a scam and a mess. By the way Puig does not have an office at 100 Crescent Court, from what I have heard he owes them money for the mail box he has been leasing. FRAUD!
I do have the name of the firm that has the 26, 000.00 loss; this information was given to me confidential and I feel as I should honor that point. I did send an e mail today to the firm and suggested they speak out on this site or others about the loss. They did business with Lance Puig on a regular basis; they provided a service to him and this is the result.
In the course of sharing this informatio with me they wanted to know if I or the small investor group whom made the introduction had been victims of any loss.
According to this source the Senior Winston Puig is apparently an MD with out a pratice and he operates this HC company which owns real estate and has had its share of problems. He also owns the Villa at the Mansion, a residential rental property with units priced at 5, 000.00 to 7, 000.00 a month.
If you check out the wed site of Judy Pittman a Dallas real estate agent you will see these under rentals. It appears as if at least three of the units have been empty for a while and they are unable to lease them. The property is run down and has a band aid type facade in which the owner attempts to appear as if the property is linked to Rosewood / The Mansion on Turtle Creek. It is not and the units in bad condition.
The Puigs use #8 as an office it is a three floor structure and the HC company and Alpha Southeast operate out of. Lance Puig also uses the #8 for meetings. My source said they attended a meeting and it was very strange / shady regarding the presentation, Puig wanted to buy some property in Garland and lease the house’s while attempting to have it zoned commercial; then tear the house’s down for a commercial strip. He need funding and was nothing more than a smooth used car salesman from what I hear.
The deal did not move and Puig began to spread word the he was the one that had declined the investors. I was contacted once again by Puig after this occurred, actually he reached my wife, who has several investments and asked if she would attend a meeting which would include several other AAA type investors; she said NO, she does not handle the business day to day, although she is the principal and it is her money. Puig asked who he could call, she told him my son and hung up.
Several weeks later my wife and I were at dinner and a couple who had moved to Dallas from another state, and had made good with a wireless investment came over to say hello. The gentleman said that he had been told by Puig that we were considering investing in a commercial deal.
My wife said No, she had been called by this man, whom she did not know and he told her he knew me (her husband) and wanted her to consider an investment. From what we gathered a letter was mailed out to several people indicating the my wife held an interest in some deal he was trying to put together. Attorneys sent a letter to him and we never heard another word.
This Father is bad news as well, socipath is the best word to describe him, he Winton Puig has been involved in many tangles; hires low paid employees who have trouble getting hired any place else and makes money by scams again as the son, leasing bad property, investments that have no value and lawsuits.
Stay away from these folks. As for the address, I can only go on what people say and that is they live at this place, if you drive by they have a tall black iron gate looks like Buckingham Palace type gate (English) on a proprty that appears tropical go figure that out.
A call box with no names only unit numbers and a security camera or two to watch for the feds I assume. People such as these give the honest guy a bad name, many of us in that area have worked hard to get where we are, in my wife’s case her grand father worked more hours in a week than were present; to have some stuck up fraud unload a pile of dirt on you is wrong. It is not the way Texas became the land it is.
We do not need people like Puig doing business in this city with a bogus Cresent Court address and a run down Villa they got at a fire sale in the 80’s appearing to be something they are not. Nobody with nothing and stealing for the rest of us.
Lance Puig’s wife Edie who is working or was at the Dallas Market they say is a nice person, she and her children have been made to appear as guilty as the Puig Clan; What tpye of man does this to his family. All I can say is stay away from them; if they owe you money check out this
3424 Gillespie #8 I suspect they know where the worm is hiding.
