Settlement Offer From Lawrence “Larry” Siracusa
I mentioned this topic in an earlier blog and thought I would follow-up and provide details.
July 2, 2009 (my Dad’s birthday): Brother, Tom DeMartini, files Petition against me in an attempt to gain total control of my Grandmother’s Trust.
Fast forward to August 21, 2009: Lawrence “Larry” Siracusa contacts my attorney with a settlement offer contingent upon my agreement to attend mediation. In Mr. Siracusa’s email he states the following...
Keep in mind, this is the word for word language included in Mr. Siracusa's email. I didn't spell Emilie Calhoun's name incorrectly, Larry did! If I agreed to mediation, the following would happen:
1. “ The parties would stipulate to a licensed professional fiduciary serving as general trustee of the Trust.
2. Liz would file a petition for appointment as general trustee for Mrs. DeMartini with a date set at least 60 days out. This will give the parties more time to interact with Liz. If folks are unhappy with Liz or my office, a party could petition for a different professional fiduciary to serve.
3. Calhoon drops her petition against your client and the discovery expense and litigators fees stop.
4. After Liz completes her accounting, circulates it and gets further explanation from the various parties on disbursement she will likely be making demands for repayment of funds. If the repayments are not resolved she would have an obligation to file an 850 petition to recover funds. Mediation would also be a good option for resolving this issue.”

I participated in the mediation process on October 19, 2009, and the parties came to an agreement to settle the case. The mediation was approved by the court. The case was DISMISSED yet Lawrence “Larry” Siracusa and his client, Elizabeth Adler, filed the exact case against me in early December of 2009. They even filed it under the DISMISSED case number. LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!
Over $600,000 has been spent by the conservators and their attorneys in the last 15 months. The majority of the money a result of "professional" services that occurred AFTER the mediation! LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!

Lawrence “Larry” Siracusa is a liar! After negotiating a settlement agreement with my attorney in late August contingent upon my agreement to participate in mediation, he did the total opposite of what was represented to my attorney and what was agreed to by the parties. LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!
In addition, I later found out that he is friends with the woman that acted as the mediator, Franchesca Callejo. This minor detail was NEVER disclosed! LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!
