COMPLAINT Frank W.Tolman, Sr., submitted a complaint on October 25, 2014, regarding Alan L. Grenier, Esq. Tolman Sr. alleges that Grenier did not properly handle the sale of his property, 175 Central Street, Georgetown, MA. During the sale Tolman alleges that Grenier was deceitful, unethical, and fraudulent. Additionally, he asserts that he did not receive his entire case file, including properly executed paperwork required for taxes, and that Grenier “continued to run up legal bills and stalled me with no action.” Grenier has allegedly violated Mass.R.Prof.C. 1.1, 1.2, 1.4(a)&(b), 1.16(d), and 8.4(c). FACTS In 2003, Tolman Sr. retained Grenier to assist in the sale of his property located at 175 Central Street, Georgetown, MA. Tolman Sr. purchased the land in 1960, and in 1996 he granted an easement on the property to a neighbor in order to “use, maintain, and repair an existing” septic leaching field on his property. The property has many issues as a result of this septic system and its lack of inspection of, as well as its proximity to conservation and wetlands. It appears that Tolman Sr. had been trying to sell this piece of land since at least 2003, and even received an offer of $215,800 from one prospective buyer in 2006; however that sale fell through when Tolman Sr. could not agree on the terms of repayment with the buyer. Despite the issues with the land, on October 31, 2011 Brian Farmer, who is a certified sanitarian, and familiar with these types of

Get AccessThe investigation brought about the dissolution of the firm. Mr. Lomanno became fearful that this investigation would expose his embezzlement scheme. He decided to seek legal advice and he contacted a criminal attorney. The matter was taken up with the office of the US Attorney. He confessed for all his wrong doings and was offered a plea bargain which had a condition that he file his returns for the year 1986, 1987, and 1988 which had not being filed. The income from embezzlement was reported as “other income” and was in tunes of $45,007 for 1987 and $15,005 for 1988. Because he did not want the petitioner to know about this, he prepared the returns alone and tried to hand them in unsigned. The officers saw the unsigned part and wanted it signed. He went ahead and forged the signature of the petitioner. The petitioner came to learn of her husband’s embezzlement in the year 1990 through a probation officer and through a letter received from IRS revenue agent. The couple divorced in 1991. Mrs. Lomanno petitioned to be exempted from the tax return payments. In this case, the petitioner filed a subject motion for attorney’s fees and litigation costs.

In February 1998, Pfizer Inc., announced it would construct a worldwide headquarter on the land in Fort Trumbull. More specifically, on the petitioner’s properties. Two months later, the government of Fort Trumbull accepted Pfizter’s job on their property without consulting the property owners knowing. This new building would total a redevelopment of 90 acres of Fort Trumbull in order to “complement the facility that Pfizer was planning to build, create jobs, increase tax and other revenues, encourage public access to and use of the city’s waterfront, and eventually ‘build momentum’ for the revitalization of the rest of the city.” The specific property affecting the private owner’s would serve as a parking lot for this headquarters. So, these nine properties, with sentimental values would be used as a open parking lot, in use for the sole purpose of parking other people’s cars.
An independent appraiser has valued the land at $60 million, however, we have not been informed that the spider was incorporated in the valuation. As a result, the quality of the appraiser cannot be assured. In addition, the previous buyer made a bid for $10 million, which is closer to the current market price. Therefore, we believe the market value of the land suffers a significant decrease which requires a recoverability test (ASC 360-10-35-21).
He and his wife purchased the subject property in 2005 for $206,000.00. The house is 2,250 square feet. They have refinanced their mortgage twice since the purchase.

The court relied on the plain language of the statute as well as the statute of frauds, MCL 566.106. Specifically, the court held that the right to construct “need not be built” units is eliminated by operation of law and that a property interest created by operation of law is not subject to the statute of frauds. As such, the court granted summary disposition in favor of the Cove Creek Condominium Association and held that the “need not be built” units ceased to exist and that the defendants could not withdraw the undeveloped land from the condominium in 2016.
As you aware, this firm represents the interests of the Spinnaker Tower Condominium Association (hereinafter “Spinnaker”). It is my understanding that Jefferson Grounds, LLC would like to complete construction of a concrete apron in the Harbortown Community later this year. It is my understanding that Jefferson-Grounds, LLC (hereinafter “Jefferson”), has requested that Spinnaker open up Jib Lane in order to accommodate traffic within the Harbortown Community during the construction of the apron.

Harding further asks us to confirm that the trial judge complied with the requirements of Md. Rule 14-305(e) when she ratified the foreclosure sale. Furthermore, Harding petitions us to subpoena certain phone calls made between her and M & T Bank officials. Harding’s requests, however, are not properly presented before this appellate court. Moreover, Harding has failed to present an argument that would overcome the presumption of legitimacy we afford to the ratification of a foreclosure sale.
There are many unanswered questions in this case. Grenier should be questioned about the Specific POA document in his file, and any conversations he had with the family about becoming a POA, as it appears this ultimately led to him signing the Settlement Statement on the Tolmans behalf. Additionally, to further the investigation Grenier should also explain why there were so many delays in the foreclosure process, and what if any conversations he had with the family about allowing Farmer to come up with the money in 2013. I believe in order to get a clearer picture of what happened here, conversations with Marston and Tolman Jr. may be necessary, if they are willing to talk. It would also be helpful to speak with Farmer’s attorney, and determine

The forward premium puzzle can be referred to as the forward premium anomaly in the capital markets. A forward premium can be described as a situation where the future exchange or the spot future exchange trades at higher spot exchange rate compared to the domestic currency. Using descriptive measures, the forward premium can be measured as the difference between the forward rates. The prevailing spot rate and which also includes the domestic currency is expected to increase when the domestic interest rates (nominal) surpasses foreign interest rates (Lane, and Milesi‐Ferretti, 2011). The premium puzzle can be well seen because the theory explains that if all currencies possess equal risks, all investors would ask for interest
