Florida Bar/Gary Rotella Esq. vs Mary Alice Gwynn PA, by Karl J. Shuh Creditor

Unaccountable to the people while regulating the practice of law, The Florida Bar has a deal that is the envy of organized crime. With friends on the Bench and at the Division of Administrative Hearings fabricating a legal playground, it embraces the same methods of intimidation and reward as Al Capone. Including, but not limited to billing fraud, buying and selling politicians, suppressing competition, obtaining favoured treatment, rewriting legal history to suit its agenda, openly blowing off society's moral, ethical, business conventions and capping criticism with their time proven classical consequences of tragedy (the Bar will wreak your practice). Justice in Florida has taken it on the chin.

The absolute best example is with the longest running bankruptcy in Florida's history, the James F. Walker bankruptcy with attorney Gary Rotella as counsel for Walker, a convicted felon, Walker's specialty were Ponzi schemes, Rotella specializes in frivolous and vexatious litigation to harass Movants and employs personal attacks by filing manufactured Bar complaints.

The reason was because this was not a real bankruptcy case, it was utilized to forestall the Receiver investigation Walker was tied up in. Walker failed to disclose his Bahamian property as well as his Washington County, Florida property. Walker and his counsel Gary Rotella represented on the bankruptcy petition and bankruptcy schedules showed that there was less than $50,000.00 in assets and less than $50,000.00 in debts involved in the case. It was later learned assets exceeded $2,000,000.00 as uncovered by the bankruptcy's largest creditor's attorney and her Forensic CPA, ( this CPA was certified to do Public Audits for IPO's).

But this time it would not go well for Rotella, because an outside firm assisted with the appeal that was about to be filed, I know, I was a named creator in this case and one of the two people, the other a creditor's sister, who paid that firm for their assistance on behalf of attorney Gwynn's Bar defense.

The first case was the appeal filed by Attorney Mary Alice Gwynn, counselor for the largest creditor, Cole. Rotella had obtained ex-parte (secretly, w/o any other movant present) from the bankruptcy court Judge Hyman a "break order" authorizing the Sheriff to enter Attorney Gwynn premises, both office and home, and seize assets. Attorney Gwynn's immediate appeal was filed with the Federal District Court, Federal Judge Alan Gold vacated the final Bankruptcy Court judgment against Attorney Gwynn as well as the writs of execution. Judge Gold's order was 23 pages, condemning Rotella's weaponizing the legal system to personally attack his opponents. These various Federal Court rulings and the accompanying sanctions against Rotella starting with this one was assisted by Attorney Craig Reiders, I supplied those funds as well

Rotella responded by continuing his push with Bar complaints against all creditors' lawyers.

The second appellate case was filed and went to District Judge Gold, and here again Rotella tried the same tricks again. Rotella lost and was sanctioned a 6 digit fine. Rotella then appealed tom the 11th Circuit in Atlanta, Georgia ( Federal three judge appellant court). The 11th upheld the lower courts ruling and added to it; Rotella was sanctioned another 6 digit fine.

The Federal Bankruptcy Court Judge in a 2007 opinion against Rotella, wrote that given the "nature of the debtor", the non-disclosure of assets, the complaints Rotella filed against professionals, the number of sanction/contempt motions Rotella filed against creditors their attorneys, the bankruptcy court suo motu ("on its own motion") wiped out all of the Rotella manufactured garbage and sanctioned Rotella another 6 digit fine, these combined three orders affected all Bar complaints Rotella filed because all of Rotella's Bar complaints were based on the very false sanction/contempt motions he filed and that later were vacated and nothing exists for any Bar compliant.

Rotella was sanctioned just over $403,000.00 for his bad faith in pursuing and vexatious litigation for the purpose of harassing Movants.

The Bar compliant he filed against Attorney Mary Alice Gwynn became null and void and was dropped in 2007 when a high-profile firm was brought in to challenge the Bar; the Florida Bar could never produce any documents supporting any compliant Rotella filed. Even creditor Cole’s correspondences with the Bar, all received and were signed by the Bar's personal, supporting her attorney and contesting Rotella’s false complaints; Col's correspondences which supported Attorney Gwynn's position, directly contradicting Rotella, were never produced by the Bar.

Rotella and the Bar were rewriting legal history for their own narrative.

No creditable signed and executed Bar order exists against Attorney Gwynn or ever has.

Rotella and Rotella P.A. were further ordered to pay, by the bankruptcy Judge Hymen, for creditor Lundburg's attorneys’ costs of $180,381.00 and another $16,466.50 for expenses on July 13, 2009;

And by the FL Southern District judge Altonaga for attorney costs of $51,815.00 on January 29, 2010 for Elected Trustee Walden's legal representation at the 11^th Circuit. Public Record Case No.: 03-32158-BKC-PGH Chapter 7 Proceedings

Rotella was out of the Walker Bankruptcy, owed court fines and attorney fees of over $650,000.00 and was finished as a lawyer by his own actions, but the Florida Bar solely, because they acted on his behalf and gave favored treatment, has maintained his “credibility” with them even that all of Rotella's filings were null and void by Federal Circuit Order. Interestingly, these six federal court orders against Rotella were Ignored by the Florida Bar, and were never produced for any document request. A coincidence certainly, the compliant against attorney Mary Alice Gwynn was reinstated immediately by the Bar after the July 13, 2009 judgment against Rotella for court costs.
