I retained Jason Ricardo's service in representing me in a Foreclosure Case 01/03/2012. I had began communication with him in Nov 2011.
On 06/20/12 Jason appeared for me in court (I was not notified of hearing, and all paperwork was going to him and his offices). He stated: ""I was just retained a few weeks ago, and requesting more time to write discovery.""
Yes, I have the court transcripts.
Below is a copy of the complaint that I filed with the FL Bar asking if he was misleading to the courts for his faluse statement.
He replied to my compaint, and I provided a ""rebuttal"" (also herein) to the FL Bar within the required time-frame, which was done 12/28/2013. I have heard nothing since.
I also filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Comm. (prior to filing to FL Bar, plus provided them with the paperwork filed to FL Bar) and have a case number. I have gotten no reply whatsoever.
Jason did again appear for me in Jan & Feb of 2014, and both times made faulse statements about my case. When my home was ""set for sale"" again, Jason only offered to file another ""lawsuit"" and I would have had to pay him $2500.00 within a two week period for him to continue with my case. He also would not accept a $1000. downpayment, and monthly payments (even taken driectly from my bank account), which was all that I could afford at that time.
Subsequently my home was sold at auction, and I had to relocate...
I also feel that I was a victim of FL Hardest Hit tactics and have proof. Company that is presently under Federal Investigation for fraud.
Another thing that should have helped me save my home was that the St Attorney General setteled a lawsuit with the Law Firm came after me, that was representing Bank of American for 1 million for fraud.
According to a Consumer Attorney (which I totally agree) ""my case"" was something of a mess. To any Judge, it all would appear to be ""stall tactics."" I also was one that ""filed my own first motion"" by going to Stetson Law Library. I have been told that I did a good/decent job by many, but also that this was something against me as well.
I have still heard nothing back, to date, from FL Bar or Federal Trade Comm.

Mr. Wilhelm,
Rebuttal to receipt of Jason Ricardo's reply to complaint.
Agreement: Complaint was; in question as to lying and/or misleading the Courts/Judge. Copy enclosed and outlined: Exhibit F, page 1 of 2pgs, # 2. On June 20, 2012, Homeowner retained undersigned counsel to review court documents and file a Motion to Vacate Judgment.
Counsel retained: January 2012, not June 2012.
Previous payments provided: copies again included.

Final thought: Fighting ""City Hall"" is not for the ""little guy""
What I mean is; fighting this system is tough for anyone. I was not one trying to just get out of paying my mortgage. I was never late on a payment before my injury on the job in 11/07. I even made my payments for nine months after my injury. Then denied 3yrs back-pay through my Worker's Comp claim was really the demise of my struggles. My own attorney refusing to file ""appeal"" stating, ""You will have to pay their attorney fees if you loose."" Even my agruement of not allowing my own witness to come forward didn't help me. I should have been awarded nearly 150K, and was offered $1600. 00....yes that's Sixteen Hundred dollars...
