Chesterfield Circuit Court
Brian Roberts v. Ronald Turek; RVA Hobbies LLC; Mark Hackett; Michael Dryden Brooks; Cawthorn, Deskevich & Gavin, P.C.; and Duane Deskevich
Plaintiff says he founded Full Mod, a business focused on radio controlled vehicles, in January 2012, and was approached in March by Turek, a former customer, about investing in the business. Turek invested $6,000, plaintiff says, becoming a silent partner, and both were guarantors on a lease of property at 11808 Hull Street Road. Plaintiff says at a July meeting with Brooks and Deskevich of the law firm, he expressed the intention to retain a 60% ownership interest in Full Mod, but that Brooks and Deskevich willfully, maliciously and intentionally misrepresented that the law required ownership interests in an LLC to be divided evenly. In August, he alleges, an agreement, which he never signed, attempted to allocate ownership interest as 49% for plaintiff and 51% for Turek. Plaintiff says Turek physically forced him from the store on or about Sept. 10, took possession of keys and Full Mod’s Facebook page, and then sold plaintiff’s ownership interest and inventory to Hackett, owner of RVA Hobbies, at below market value and without his knowledge or consent. Plaintiff says RVA Hobbies now operates in Full Mod’s location. Plaintiff alleges fraud, breach of contract, conspiracy, tortious interference and legal malpractice and seeks judgment in principal sum of $500,000.

Michael R. Falcone v. Michael L. Meyer and Kingdom Advisors
Plaintiff says he contracted with Meyer, an attorney in Indiana, to create a legal tax savings mechanism through, in part, the creation of a Charitable Limited Liability Company and a Beneficiary Defective Irrevocable Trust. Plaintiff says Meyer indicated the CLLC and BDIT would allow him to avoid paying a large amount of state and federal taxes, and sent a check to Kingdom for $60,000. Plaintiff alleges Meyer created transactional documents and other materials that falsely and fraudulently described plaintiff’s motivations for entering into the tax shelter. After entering into the agreement but before funding the trust, plaintiff says, he inquired into the legality of what defendant sold him, realized he was given false information and terminated the agreement. Plaintiff says defendant has refused to refund any portion of the $60,000 and seeks damages of $180,000.
