COME NOW, the Plaintiffs, ONE AND ONE, LLC d/b/a COMPLETE REHAB AND MEDICAL CENTER OF HOLLYWOOD, ORTHOPEDIC AND SPINE CENTER OF SOUTH FLORIDA d/b/a NEUROSURGICAL ASSOCIATES OF SOUTH FLORIDA, and UNIVERSAL MEDIQUIP, LLC (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”), by and through their undersigned counsel and hereby file this Response to Defendant, TODD CASH ALOFS d/b/a THE ALOFS LAW FIRM’s (hereinafter “ALOFS”), Motion for Sanctions pursuant to Florida Statute § 57.105, and in support thereof state: *** FILED: BROWARD COUNTY, FL HOWARD FORMAN, CLERK 4/19/2016 3:14:06 PM.****1. On January 8, 2016, ALOFS was served with Plaintiffs’ Complaint! (“Complaint”), Attached as Exhibit “A” is a copy of the Complaint. 2. On January 15, 2016, ALOFS’ counsel sent an email to Plaintiff's counsel addressing one issue; to wit, the allegation that the wrong party had been sued. Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit “B” is a copy of ALOFS’ counsel’s January 15, 2016 email. 3. On January 19, 2016, Plaintiff's counsel responded by advising, inter alia: I certainly have no intention in pursuing the wrong party(ies) and similarly have no desire to not pursue the right party(ies). and seeking further information to verify the correct party(ies) to be pursued. Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit “C” is a copy of said January 19, 2016 email. 4, On January 27, 2016, without response to the queries in Plaintiff's counsel’s January 19, 2016 email, ALOFS served its Motion for §57.105 fees and costs making only the bald assertions that: i) ALOFS had signed no Letters of Protection; ii) ALOFS had no contract with Gunter; and iii) that the appropriate party ought to have been the corporate entity “Todd Cash Alofs, P.A.” Attached and marked as Exhibit “D” is a copy of ALOFS’ Motion and accompanying correspondence. 5. On February 10, 2016, Plaintiff's counsel responded to ALOFS’ Motion and sought clarification of the inconsistencies raised within the Motion and furthermore provided the support * Defendant Todd Cash Alofs d/b/a The Alofs Law Firm’s Motion for Sanctions is directed to Plaintiff's Original Complaint served January 8, 2016. Subsequently, on February 16, 2016, the Plaintiffs’ filed and served an Amended Complaint—which Defendant’s Motion does not address.for filing suit as against ALOFS in his individual capacity. Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit “E” is a copy of said email with accompanying attachments. 6. Having received no reply, on February 16, 2016, Plaintiff's counsel again wrote to ALOFS’ counsel seeking clarification of ALOFS’ Motion. Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit “F” is a copy of Plaintiff's counsel’s letter. 7. Still having received no reply to any of Plaintiff's efforts to clarify and resolve the issues and with an impending statute of limitations about to expire, Plaintiff filed its Amended Complaint adding the additional parties and further support for the claims. Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit “G” is a copy of the Amended Complaint. 8. On February 26, 2016, ALOFS subsequently filed its Motion for Sanctions directed to the original Complaint; not the Amended Complaint. 9. The Defendant’s Motion is predicated on two bases; to wit; a. The assertion that ALOFS was unaware of the Plaintiff’s letters of protection and treatment; and b. The assertion that the proper party to the suit ought not have been ALOFS but rather, ALOFS law firm — Todd Cash Alofs, P.A. 10. Specifically, ALOFS argues the ALOFS never signed the Letters of Protection, the invoices are not addressed to ALOFS nor are any of the Letters of Protection “dated after the time of Defendant ALOFS involvement in the underlying matter.” Def. Mtn. For Sanct. | 4-5. ll. Defendant further alleges the Letters of Protection were never provided to Defendant ALOFS and were not known by him to be in existence. Def. Mtn. For Sanct. {| 6. 12. Additionally, Defendant ALOFS’ Motion alleges the Plaintiffs have wrongfully named Defendant ALOFS, individually, as a party to the suit, fail to allege ALOFS was involved in the underlying claim in his individual capacity, and fail to make any allegation sufficient to pierce the corporate veil. Def. Mtn. For Sanct. 4 9.13. However, for the following reasons, the Defendant ALOFS’ Motion for Sanctions, is completely without merit and Defendant ALOFS’ Motion for Sanctions should be denied. ARGUMENT 14, Section 57.105, Florida Statutes, provides: (1) Upon the court's initiative or motion of any party, the court shall award a reasonable attorney's fee, including prejudgment interest, to be paid to the prevailing party in equal amounts by the losing party and the losing party's attorney on any claim or defense at any time during a civil proceeding or action in which the court finds that the losing party or the losing party's attorney knew or should have known that a claim or defense when initially presented to the court or at any time before trial: (a) Was not supported by the material facts necessary to establish the claim or defense; or (b) Would not be supported by the application of then-existing law to those material facts. (3) Notwithstanding subsections (1) and (2), monetary sanctions may not be awarded: (a) Under paragraph (1)(b) if the court determines that the claim or defense was initially presented to the court as a good faith argument for the extension, modification, or reversal of existing law or the establishment of new law, as it applied to the material facts, with a reasonable expectation of success. (b) Under paragraph (1)(a) or paragraph (1)(b) against the losing party's attorney if he or she has acted in good faith, based on the representations of his or her client as to the existence of those material facts. 15. The purpose of section 57.105 is to discourage baseless claims, stonewall defenses, and sham appeals. Read v. Taylor, 832 So. 2d 219, 222 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002). Florida favors access to courts and has interpreted section 57.105 to provide a remedy only where the plaintiff's compliant is completely untenable. Id.16. An award of attorney’s fees is not appropriate as long as the complaint alleges some justiciable issue and a party’s good faith efforts to change existing law does not render an action frivolous. Id. 17. Thus, in determining an award of fees under section 57.105, “[t]he [trial] court determines if the party or its counsel knew or should have known that the claim or defense asserted was not supported by facts or an application of existing law.” Blue Infiniti, LLC v. Wilson, 170 So. 3d 136, 140 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015). 18. A case is “frivolous,” justifying the award of fees, only when the case can be said to be “completely without merit in law” or contradicted by overwhelming evidence.” Asinmax v. Semrau, 42 So. 3d 955, 958 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010). 19. Further, the trial court’s findings must be based upon substantial competent evidence presented to the court at the hearing on attorney’s fees or otherwise before the court or in the trial records. Blue Infiniti, LLC, 170 So. 3d at 140. 20. As further stated in Connelly v Old Bridge Village Co-Op 915 So. 2d 652, 656 (Fla. 2™ DCA 2005: “Failing to state a cause of action is not, in and of itself, a sufficient basis to support a finding that a claim was so lacking in merit as to justify an award of fees pursuant to section 57.105. Mason v Highlands County Bd. Of County Comm’rs 817 Sp 2d 922, 923 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002). “[t]he revised statute, while broader than its predecessor, still is intended to address the issue of frivolous pleadings.” Read 832 So. 2d at 222. There are good reasons to apply the statute with restraint, as the First District cautioned in Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. v Herron 828 So. 2d 414,419 (Fla. 1 DCA 2002): The courts must apply section 57.105 Florida Statutes (1999) carefully to ensure that tit servers the purpose for which it was intended. If an order dismissing a claim or striking a defense leads to a motion for attorneys’ fees, the point of the statute would be subverted and, in the end, it might even have the reverse effect of making civil litigation more expensive...An even more significant potential ramification of the court’s unrestrained assessment of fees is the unconstitutional infringement of our citizens’ rights of access to the courts, as guaranteed by article I, section 21 of the Florida Constitution. 21. First, ALOFS’ Motion is directed to the original Complaint which has been supplanted by the Amended Complaint. 22. Contrary to Defendant, ALOFS’, assertions, there is no allegation in the Plaintiffs’ Compliant or the Amended Complaint that ALOFS signed the Letters of Protections. 23. Further, the facts that ALOFS never signed the Letter of Protection, that none of the invoices or Letters of Protection were addressed to him or that the Letters of Protection were not “dated after the time of Defendant ALOFS involvement in the underlying matter,” are irrelevant. Def. Mtn. For Sanct. § 4-5. 24. A cause of action for tortious interference with a business or contractual relationship only exist where the Defendant is not a signatory to the underlying contract. Franklin Life Ins. Co. v. Davy, 753 So. 2d 581, 587 (Fla. Ist DCA 1999); Salit v. Ruden, McClosky, Smith, Schuster & Russell, P.A., 742 So. 2d 381, 385-86 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999). 25. Moreover, Defendant ALOFS’ Motion for Sanctions admits he was “Co-counsel” for DAVID GUNTER in the underlying tort action and had a “supervisory interest” in how that case was resolved. Def. Mtn. For Sanct. { 7-8. 26. Further, in a telephone conversation between ALOFS’ Co-counsel Kaplan & Sconzo, P.A. and Plaintiffs’ counsel, Stuart Kaplan, Esq., advised undersigned counsel that i) ALOFS was the lead attorney in the underlying tort action of Defendant GUNTER, ii) that Defendant ALOFS was the attorney who distributed the settlement proceeds in the underlying tort action, and iii) that prior to the mediation of the underlying tort action, at the behest of ALOFS,KAPLAN & SCONZO’s associate obtained a lien update and accordingly, they were aware of additional medical treatment and records. 27. Further still, ALOFS and his Co-counsel were provided with access and copies of the file of the predecessor law firm; to wit, The Law Firm of Steven Slootsky, P.A. 28. Exhibit “I” to the Complaint reflects that the underlying medical records of Mr. Gunter were provided to KAPLAN & SCONZO and that and more information was apparently provided to Mr. Alof’s office. Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit “H” is a copy of an email affirming communications between Mr. Alofs’s office and Mr. Slootsky’s office as to the relay of the file that must have contained Plaintiff's medical records. 29. “[{O]Jne who has either actual or constructive information and notice sufficient to put him on inquiry ... and ... fails to inquire and to learn that which he might reasonably be expected to learn upon making such inquiry ... must suffer the consequence of his neglect.” Sickler_v. Melbourne State Bank, 118 Fla. 468, 159 So. 678, 679 (Fla., 1935). 30. Specifically, the Slootsky Firm provided ALOFS Co-Counsel, KAPLAN & SCONZO and by extension ALOFS with, inter alia: a) a table of non-party production which must have included, inter alia, treatment by i) Orthopedic & Spine Center of South Florida, LLC ii) Dr. Gary Bloomberg (a/k/a Blumberg) of Complete Rehab & Medical Center of Hollywood; iii) Dr. Anthony Hall of Orthopedic & Spine Center of South Florida, LLC d/b/a Neurosurgical Associates of South Florida; iv) Dr. Robert Simon of Orthopedic & Spine Center of South Florida, LLC; b) ajump drive of Mr. Gunter’s medical records and bills; c) access to the SLOOTSKY FIRM’s file which was in turn copied for them by DocuSolutions; and d) the Answers to Interrogatories which listed several of the Plaintiffs’ employees and/or independent contractors. 31. Based on the Interrogatory Responses filed almost nine (9) months before ALOFS and KAPLAN & SCONZO substituted in as counsel, these files must have contained informationof the physicians, care and treatment, letters of protection and invoices of the Plaintiffs — all matters within ALOFS and his co-counsel’s knowledge and easily confirmable by ALOFS. 32. Accordingly, Defendant, ALOFS, had a duty to investigate the existence of medical bills and liens. 33. Furthermore, Public Records reflects the following: i) The attorneys who substituted for the Slootsky firm were: The Alofs Law Firm and Kaplan & Sconzo, P.A. Attached as EXHIBIT “I” is a copy of the Notice of Substitution of Counsel; ii) The Alofs Law Firm is a fictitious name owned by Todd Cash Alofs — in his individual capacity. Attached as composite EXHIBIT “J” are filings by Todd Cash Alofs reflecting his intent, accomplishment and perpetuation of the filing of the fictitious name in his individual capacity. 34, Further, the Plaintiffs contacted Defendant ALOFS’ counsel to determine if Defendant GUNTER retained the ALOFS LAW FIRM which is a fictitious name owned by Todd Cash Alofs in his individual capacity or Todd Cash Alofs, P.A., or both. Despite request, the Defendant ALOFS’ counsel and/or ALOFS has have refused to disclose the same. 35. Lastly, on January 15, 2016, in Plaintiffs’ Amended Complaint, Plaintiffs’ stated that as discovery proceeds, if it is determined that one or the other of Todd Cash Alofs or Todd Cash Alofs, P.A., was not a proper party to this case, Plaintiffs would drop that party from this case. WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Plaintiffs, ONE AND ONE, LLC d/b/a COMPLETE REHAB AND MEDICAL CENTER OF HOLLYWOOD, ORTHOPEDIC AND SPINE CENTER OF SOUTH FLORIDA d/b/a NEUROSURGICAL ASSOCIATES OF SOUTH FLORIDA, and UNIVERSAL MEDIQUIPP, LLC, respectfully request that this Honorable Court deny Defendant, TODD CASH ALOFS d/b/a THE ALOFS LAW FIRM’s, Motion for SanctionsPursuant to Florida Statutes § 57.105, and grant such further and other relief as this Honorable Court deems just and proper.
