Misrepresentation Of Facts In Court Documents & False Statement To The Court And Deceitfully Pursuing Frivolous Lawsuit

From a Florida Bar Complaint Filed by Don Juravin Against Marc Randazza

In true predacious and opportunistic manner, Mr. Randazza has filed yet another lawsuit on behalf of DCS Real Estate Investments, LLC. & The Club At Bella Collina, LLC., against Mr. Juravin in a forum where has no direct personal minimum contact. This complaint was filed with no basis in law or fact as required by the Florida bar rules. This is a direct violation of his probation with the Nevada State Bar.

This lawsuit is predicated on Mr. Randazza’s need to use his law license as a weapon to exact his vendetta against Mr. Juravin. It is purely meritless and baseless. In its complaint filed against Mr. Juravin in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on July 16, 2020 Mr. Randazza alleges that Mr. Juravin had transacted business in the state of Massachusetts. A statement that is unequivocally false and contrary to the facts.

It is decision in The Florida Bar, Complainant, v. Geneva Carol Forrester, the Florida Bar filed a complaint against respondent Forrester alleging that she had knowingly made false statements in two pleadings submitted to a court. The Bar alleged that Forrester's statements violated rules 4-3.3(a) (a lawyer shall not knowingly make a false statement of material fact or law to a tribunal);  4-8.4(c) (a lawyer shall not engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation);  and 4-8.4(d) (a lawyer shall not engage in conduct in connection with the practice of law that is prejudicial to the administration of justice, including to knowingly, or through callous indifference, disparage, humiliate, or discriminate against litigants, jurors, witnesses, court personnel, or other lawyers on any basis) of the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar. The supreme Court of Florida determined that Geneva Carol Forrester should be disbarred from the practice of law in the State of Florida for her repeated violations of Ethical rules including misrepresentation to the Court.

Mr. Randazza’s actions and false representation to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are tantamount to Ms. Forrester’s statements to the court. Based on his past history with prior lawsuits against Mr. Juravin, he is well aware of the fact Mr. Juravin does not transact business in the state of Massachusetts. Nonetheless, he knowingly makes the statement under oath in complete disregard of this ethical obligations pursuant to rules 4-3.3(a), 4-8.4(c), 4-8.4(d).
