The Defense Attorney for Rontan and the Bro's filed a Motion to Withdraw his business as Attorney of Record due to unpaid fees in excess of $200,000 and irreconcilable differences.
The Court's Order on this Motion states it finds Good Cause to Grant the Motion. However, the Court is allowing the Defendants until December 21, 2019 to pay their debts in full or make alternative arrangements.
The Court advised all defendants that the brothers being sued individually can represent themselves Pro Se, and that Rontan must retain counsel.
The Court is not inclined to reschedule the hearing as a result of this dispute. The Court has warned that failure to find substitute counsel by the trial date may result in Default judgement against Rontan.
Below is a link to Carlos Osario's Florida Bar Member Profile. Clearly, he is very competent.
This sticky has gone dormant since the Judge DENIED all of Rontan’s MSJs and their lawyer bailed on them with the courts blessings.
GDSI’s next motion will most likely be for Default Judgement.
First; Rontan has failed to submit discovery as ordered by the Judge 1/6/2020 @ 5pm.
Second; Rontan no longer has any legal representation, under Federal Rules all corporations must be represented by legal counsel in all matters before the court.
New management coming soon for Rontan with “Specific Performance” being the remedy.
