FLORIDA STATUTE 732.806 CODIFIES EXISTING LAWYER ETHICS RULE 4-1.8©
As part of the Florida probate 732.806 code it is a violation of this ethics 4-1.8(c) rule with an automatic basis for voiding any part of a will, trust or other written instrument making an improper client gift to the drafting lawyer or a person related to the lawyer. The code contains a “carve out” for wills and trusts in which a drafting lawyer is named as his client’s PR or trustee. There is also a potential for conflict-of-interest, thus the drafting lawyer should obtain the clients “informed consent” or “confirmed in writing” to such appointment. These conflict-of-interest documents are considered high risk for a lawyer. The statute makes a mandatory fee-shifting clause in favor of contesting parties. This is pertinent for Florida licensed lawyers. This law does not apply to Curtis Mallet partner Robert Sheehan because he has never been licensed to practice law in Florida.

KEVIN J COLLINS BRAIN TUMOR DURING CURTIS MALLET COMPLEX WILLS/TRUST MANIPULATIONS
American Brain Tumor Association reports: “Common behavior-related problems and difficulties experienced by patients with brain tumors are usually associated with:
1. Language and Communication: Difficulty with verbal fluency; speaking, reading, and/or writing.
2. Emotion and Personality: Psychiatric symptoms such as depression, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive behaviors; changes in emotional control such as irritability, mood swings, or withdrawal; socially inappropriate behavior; and/or denial that behavior is a problem.
3. Learning and Memory (particularly short-term memory): Difficulty processing, storing, and remembering information; short-term memory loss.
4. Attention and Concentration: Confusion, easy distraction, difficulty multitasking and planning.
5. Executive Functioning/General Intellectual Abilities: Decreased reasoning ability, impaired judgment, inability to connect cause and effect.” (American Brain Tumor Association)
As one can authoritatively read, Curtis Mallet took advantage of Kevin J Collins’s Florida health infirmities by manipulating Kevin into signing dubious documents intended to deceive authorities via Florida/New York interstate communications. The last trust manipulations were accomplished by a Curtis Mallet partner along with his partner. The partner had been admitted to the Florida Bar the day of the last manipulation, which took place before a confused bedridden Kevin J Collins at his 101 Worth Avenue, Palm Beach, Florida domicile. This was knowingly accomplished without wife Louise’s knowledge or presence. Louise G Collins was in intensive care at Mt Sinai Miami Hospital while known and unknown acts were transpiring at her domicile. Before that dubious episode only a Florida unlicensed Curtis Mallet partner allegedly manipulated the Florida domiciled Kevin J Collins Will/Trust documents in the partner’s favor. Actions are sometimes deceiving!

FLORIDA REGISTRY OF MOTOR VEHICLES GIVES WIFE LOUIS A HANDICAP DRIVING PERMIT FOR HUSBAND KEVIN
The list of authorities deferring to Kevin J Collins declining mental state required the need for constant medical treatment during and after 2000. Wife Louise G Collins was totally preoccupied with husband Kevin’s wellness until wife Louise fell ill with severe Dionne Barre. Louis was taken in ambulance to intensive care in far off Mt Sinai Miami Hospital. It was during these wife Louis critical months of absence that Curtis Mallet partner and his friend were foisting complex Will/Trust documents and revisions upon an incompetent deathbed husband Kevin. Curtis Mallet repeatedly rebuffed pleas from Kevin’s sister for pertinent due diligence document copies.

KEVIN J COLLINS ESTATE ORIGINAL ACCOUNTANTS UNILATERALLY FIRED BY CURTIS MALLET UPON KEVIN’S DEATH
Kevin & Louis Collins had a close and long-lasting relationship with Kevin’s accountants at Anchin, Block & Anchin. They are one of the largest and oldest accounting firms in the New York City area. Curtis Mallet allegedly decided to limit their scheme from Anchin scrutiny due diligence exposure upon Kevin’s death, without the mandatory written transfer consent of Louis Collins. Curtis Mallet unilaterally terminated Kevin’s long time accountants putting all his estate accounting matters with Curtis Mallet in-house accountants. It is unknown if Curtis Mallet is registered with New York state as accountants to do such. When Louis Collins strongly objected to what she saw as a clear conflict of interest, she was rebuffed. Louise never signed mandatory pertinent documents foisted upon her by Curtis Mallet. This controversial action has enabled Curtis Mallet to manipulate the Kevin J Collins estate matters without independent verification. We now can add to the cart of Curtis Mallet criminal violations.

CURTIS MALLET PRESENTS OBLIQUE CREATIVE ACCOUNTING TO JUSTIFY MILLIONS IN ESTATE ASSET SHORT-FALL
Reliable sources say: “The Louis Collins Mc ;Laughlin & Stern lawyers have allegedly received dubious Kevin J Collins Will/Trust accounting documents from Curtis Mallet. Curtis Mallet has allegedly cooked the books using creative accounting while not divulging true and correct documents disclosing the whereabouts of Kevin J Collins Will/Trust alleged misappropriated assets.” This behavior has yet to be justified to USA Federal or Florida/New York authorities. So far there has allegedly been approximately a $2,000,000 creative accounting short fall disappearance, somehow. We do know the Curtis Mallet partner trustee of the Kevin J Collins trust recently purchased/built a tony Martha’s Vineyard summer estate costing more than $2,000,000! It is alleged his wife’s Vietor clan allegedly considers Robert W Sheehan an embarrassment to their highly respected and admired family.

CURTIS MALLET UNILATERALLY FIRES RESPECTED WEALTH MANAGEMENT COMPANY IN FAVOR OF CURTIS MALLET MANAGEMENT
Kevin J Collins account assets were competently managed by the highly respected Inverness investment advisors. Inverness group of professionals actively manage over $2.3 billion in client assets for high net worth individuals, families and trusts making Inverness one of the largest independent registered investment advisors within the United States. It is also registered with the SEC. The Kevin J Collins Trust account was wrenched from Inverness by Curtis Mallet and initially managed by New York and Federally unregistered Curtis Mallet and/or partner. From information and belief Curtis Mallet is not registered with the SEC. As a trustee, Louise Collins was adamant about keeping all of the Kevin J Collins Trust assets with Inverness and would not sign transfer documents. Louise Collins refusal to sign Curtis Mallet termination documents for either Inverness or Anchin was ignored by Curtis Mallet.

CURTIS MALLET PARTNER TRANSFERS TRUST ASSET MANAGEMENT FROM CURTIS MALLET TO PARTNER’S SON’S BOUTIQUE WITH 1 EMPLOYEE
The Curtis Mallet partner as alleged Kevin J Collins Trust trustee transferred Trust assets to his son’s newly created Round Oak boutique with approximately $14.5 million client assets at the time. All of these assets were allegedly from the Kevin J Collins Trust, but for a few hundred thousand. Please note there is only one employee at Round Oak LLC (limited liability, believed to be the Curtis Mallet Kevin J Collins trustee’s son. Thomas Vietor Sheehan. Round Oak refers to itself deceivingly on Google as “we” for the one employee. It is unknown if Round Oak is registered with the SEC, USA Federal or New York/North Carolina States.

CURTIS MALLET PARTNER’S SON CLOSES OFFICE CONTAINING KEVIN J COLLINS TRUST ACCOUNTS
Issue 3 clearly shows a Curtis Mallet partner cajoling and threatening Louise to sign mandatory transfer documents. Curtis Mallet wrenched from the highly capable Inverness wealth management company to the unregistered Curtis Mallet. It is presently believed most of the unaccounted Will/Trust assets allegedly disappeared after a Curtis Mallet and Round Oak takeover of the Kevin J Collins Trust assets. Allegedly after a lengthy interim the Curtis Mallet partner appointed his son as manager of the Kevin J Collins Will/Trust account assets under the Round Oak rubric. When irregularities were discovered, the son allegedly closed down his boutique investment firm and moved out of New York City to the Charlottesville, North Carolina hometown of his wife. We have to wait until Curtis Mallet creative accounting is scrutinized and deciphered to see what has happened. Credible true and correct accounting documents will be needed for US Federal, New York and Florida authorities. How will Curtis Mallet justify the alleged looting of the Kevin J Collins estate to these authorities?

PARTNER ALLEGEDLY CONTINUES TO XX A SUPPORTIVE CURTIS MALLET
Reliable sources say: “It is ironic that Curtis Mallet is now defending the dubious actions of a partner who has allegedly been planning to jump ship to a Palm Beach firm.” From information and belief, this new firm assisted the Curtis Mallet partner in not declaring the proper taxes on the Kevin J Collins Palm Beach condominium. When we exposed this tax avoidance criminal scheme Curtis Mallet immediately paid the amount through the local Palm Beach law firm.
Allegedly stolen client lists from Breed Abbott law firm are what allowed Curtis Mallet partner to skip over others on the Curtis Mallet law firm pyramid. Kevin J Collins was one of these Client who were unknowingly taken from Breed Abbot law firm. These accumulated clients are now allegedly bait to enter yet another law firm as partner. Curtis Mallet will be the third known law firm victim. A reliable legal sources has said the deal is on hold until Louis G Collins dies. This will allow a Curtis Mallet partner’s family full takeover of the Kevin J Collins estate, in perpetuity. This includes the sought after Collins tony high-end 101 Worth Avenue, Palm Beach, Florida domicile. This scheme was allegedly put on hold when Louis did not die as planned at the Mt Sinai Miami Hospital. Louis compounded the Curtis Mallet furry seen in Issue 2 by rejuvenating and remarrying. Curtis Mallet continues to defend the partner at the expense of other ethical partners and personnel. Curtis Mallet thus haughtily defends the indefensible against their own interests, for some reason. The Curtis Mallet managing partner mentioned in issue 1 is still callous to the fact he is allegedly increasingly damaging the reputation of the Curtis Mallet firm brand in the eyes of clients, competitors and the World legal market place. How sad.

Letters to Director:
Director:
Our firm has read your newsletter several times and must be missing something. How can a Curtis partner unlicensed in Florida implement wills/trusts upon a Florida domiciled elderly client?
NYC law firm
Dear Director:
The Curtis partner in question holds himself out as a Super Lawyer to the world. We in the trade know full well that these lawyers buy the privilege to call themselves Super. This should be stopped because it is hurting ethical lawyers averse to such schemes. We’re sensitive to these schemes in Washington since we have enough problems with the politicians.
Washington law firm
Yes:
We’re waiting for the really bad stuff. When are you going to publish the “alleged” Curtis Mallet criminal violations you have talked about in your newsletter? This isn’t a TV soap opera. We don’t want to be kept hanging in there for your next newsletter. Curtis clients should know if you can supply the goods. Get with it.
New York law firm fans
Dear Director:
It’s obvious Louise’s present husband has assisted clarifying the possibly negative actions of Curtis Mallet towards her past husband. Her new husband should be nominated for Sainthood. We’re particularly thinking of the strange Curtis Mallet partner who has left a wake of trashed law firms, attorneys and clients in his self interest cruise to the top. They all seem to be ICs (Irish Catholics). Where are their religious convictions? Don’t they see that the evil acts told so far will only make them rot in hell?
Religiously Concerned ICs
Gentlemen:
This Curtis Mallet partner to which you’re referring seems of the same cloth as Bradley. Bradley took an ethical stance while this Curtis Mallet partner person seems to be very unethical with an “alleged” anger towards women. What’s the fascination with Mrs. Collins’s jewelry and clothes? Did the Curtis Mallet partner keep the $ after he returned the jewelry to the store saying she had died? Are there any other strange ones at Curtis Mallet? This is really weird stuff. Maybe partner will breakdown and tell. This is quite a script for someone. Your truth is so documented a media or script writer won’t have to change names.
TriBeCa Media mogul
Director:
When are you going to be allowed to publish the criminal actions of Curtis Mallet you so often speak about? Do you have the incriminating documents now? We’ve spent a lot of time getting everything set up for this event. We’re ready to rock and roll with the clients.
NYC law firm Attorneys
Director:
Evil never likes to be exposed, it lives in the darkness. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. These men, and they all seem to be males of various stripes, are evil.
Ethical female lawyer
Dear Director:
It’s customary to tell the malpractice insurance company of such behavior. Has Curtis done this or are they attempting to keep such matters secret by using an in-house lawyer? This is important because we should know how deep the rot is at Curtis for fear of contamination.
Concerned NYC law firm
Director:
In reading your important newsletter there seems to be a breakdown of some sort at Curtis. I’ve worked with so many upright attorneys at Curtis it is hard to conceive they would allow dirty hands lawyers in their midst, if they know. We are going to tell them about your newsletter. It only takes one case like this to cause a client stampede.
Competitor
Dear Director:
Many lawyers cognizant of the lack of criminal prosecution coupled with judicial indifference to aiding and abetting in the lucrative elderly estate looting are currently becoming a crime spree epic. In many states the judiciary has cut itself in for a share of the elderly booty. This is now seen in New York, New Jersey and Florida where the predominance is readily seen. Very few of these lawyers can pass the smell test.

Dear Readership:
It is time we told our readership procedural how an ethical law firm expedites termination of questionable partners, stockholders, members or other names used to signify firm structural ownership. Curtis Mallet knows this process and is said to have the procedure in place. The primary goal is to get rid of the individual quickly while retaining as many clients as possible. Each law firm has an ethics committee used for such purposes who hold secret meetings to scrutinize the evidence and report to the managing partner. At the very same time trusted junior attorneys are given the task of holding onto as many clients as possible by circumventing the targeted partner. The perpetrating partner starts hiding, copying and taping vital documents.
Once the conflict becomes open and notorious there is a separation of the clients wanting to stay with the law firm and those who want to leave with the relieved partner. This is mutually done to avoid as much trauma as possible effecting both parties. There is then the normal haggling over compensation and if any other employees are to defect. The partner should acquiesce and make gestures to move on to another venture. In many cases associates to partners know the client better than the overviewing partners, since the associates do most of the work. Law firms try to limit associate lawyers interaction with clients as much as possible for fear of prospective future client theft. Law firms have gone so far as to purge names of associates from all legal work while only inserting the relevant partner name. Some cipher firm email addresses. Other law firms partition partners keep associates on lower floors.
Issue 1 New York Court documents show Curtis Mallet partner Robert W Sheehan in question is to have allegedly had a prior firm employee sending confidential firm information to the partner after his termination, among other things. Procedurally, the Curtis Mallet managing director (see issue 1) should have initiated a report to the Curtis Mallet Ethics Committee thereby putting the Committee on notice.
Lest we forget, there are alleged USA Federal interstate, Florida/New York State violations by Curtis Mallet. We can now add to the cart with alleged US Federal and state license and registration infractions.
