Town of Gulf Stream Commission PaV 14
entities (including the Area Agency on Aging of Palm Beach Treasure Coast, Homeless Coalition of
Palm Beach County and the Hope Foundation for Autism). The Florida Bar News and other
publications have now extensively reported this conduct as a scam and the legislature is discussing
proposed changes to the Florida Statutes.
VI. Pending Litieation
Currently pending against the Town are nearly 40 public records cases which have been filed by
Mr. O'Hare, Mr. O'Boyle or entities owned or controlled by O'Boyle. These lawsuits are largely being
advanced by The O'Boyle Law Firm. In essence, Mr. O'Hare and Mr. O'Boyle have filed thousands of
Public Records Requests inundating the Clerk of the Town to frustrate her ability to comply with the
requests. Thereafter suits are brought complaining about the speed and accuracy of the responses and
seeking attorney's fees and costs that the current version of the Public Records Act only permits a
plaintiff to recover. The plaintiffs have not succeeded on any of their public records claims and have
dismissed several of them after motions for sanctions were filed. The only case to have gone to
conclusion was won by the Town and has been appealed by Mr. O'Boyle. We intend to notice the
..remainder of -the cases for trial as soon as possible.-.
Various additional claims have been brought by Mr. O'Hare and Mr. O'Boyle against the Town
and its elected officials, employees and contractors including Mayor Morgan, Bill Thrasher, Special
Magistrate Lara Donlon, Chief Ward and Marty Minor with Urban Design Kilday for alleged Federal
and State civil rights violations. These claims are being handled by insurance counsel. The Town has
obtained favorable dismissals of several of these suits, one of which was just affirmed on appeal by the
Federal Appeals Court and resulted in a favorable fee award against Mr. O'Boyle for his frivolous
filing. None of these claims have been decided in favor of Mr. O'Hare or Mr. O'Boyle.
Lawsuits have been filed against the Town's attorneys, including three suits against my firm or
me personally and a lawsuit against Joanne O'Connor and Skip Randolph. Particularly frustrating is the
fact that one of these lawsuits arose after Mayor Morgan, Ms. O'Connor and I met to confidentially
discuss a potential settlement with Mr. O'Hare and his counsel, Louis Roeder and Mark Hanna. Mr.
O'Boyle has sued complaining that this settlement conference violated the Sunshine Law even though
Mayor Morgan was the only city government representative in attendance. Ethics Complaints have been
brought against me, Mr. Randolph and Mayor Morgan. These have all been dismissed.
Mr. O'Boyle has repeatedly flown planes towing banners over West Palm Beach and Gulf
Stream denigrating the Town's attorneys and officials.
More recently, the attempts to particularly target the attorneys defending thepublic records cases
has intensified as some 200 records requests were sent to almost every attorney at Mr. Randolph's law
firm in late November and December apparently by Mr. O'Hare.
VII. Conclusion
In 35 years of practicing law and litigating cases throughout the State of Florida and the United
States I have never encountered this type of a concerted pattern of abusive conduct directed at a local
i.Awomcesor

government. It is clear to me that the O'Boyles and Mr. O'Hare engage in this conduct to cause the
Town to accede to their demands. I hope that my report has helped you understand the nature and scope
of the litigation and actions that the Town has been defending.

SWEETAPPLE. BRMIR& VARRAS, P.1_
AFFIDAVIT OF JOEL EDWARD CHANDLER
BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, personally appeared JOEL CHANDLER, who
after being duly sworn, deposes and says that:
1. My name is JOEL CHANDLER,
2. I am over eighteen (18) years of age.
3. I am a resident of Polk County, Florida.
4. 1 have personal knowledge of every assertion made in this affidavit.'
5. Citizens Awareness Foundation, Inc., (herein "CAFI"), was formed as a Florida
not-for-profit corporation by Martin O'Boyle in concert with his son, Jonathan
O'Boyle.
6. Jonathan O'Boyle is an attorney admitted in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, but not
admitted to practice in Florida.
7. In January 2014, 1 was solicited by Martin O'Boyle to lead a not-for-profit corporation
that was, he said, intended to promote open government. That not-for-profit
corporation was created at Martin O'Boyle's direction and became known as the
"Citizens Awareness Foundation, Inc." or "CAFI."
S. During my discussions with Martin O'Boyle, wherein he sought to hire me to serve as
the leader of CAFI, we explicitly agreed that CAFI would have an independent Board
of Directors; that the Board of Directors would be entirely free from the influence of
Martin O'Boyle or the O'Boyle Law Firm; that I would have absolute and sole
discretion regarding the commencement and resolution of open government litigation
on behalf of CAFI, and; subject only to the independent Board of Directors, I would
have the authority to select and retain law firms for the purpose of engaging in open
government litigation.
fEXHIBIT
9. During January or February of 2014, I participated in a telephone conversation with
Martin O'Boyle and Robert "Bob" Tweet, a tax attomey from West Virginia. Martin
O'Boyle and I discussed with Mr. Tweet the absolute necessity that CAFI be a
legitimate not-for-profit entity. This included, but was not limited to, the requirement
that CAFI use a variety of law firms to represent it so as to avoid the appearance of
self-dealing.
10. Martin O'Boyle indicated to Mr. Tweet and to me that he was going to loan all
necessary monies to fund CAFI and, after 501(c)(3) status was acquired, write off as a
charitable donation all of the monies he had loaned to CAFI. After leaving this
meeting I was particularly encouraged that Martin O'Boyle was genuine in his interest
to establish a bona fide not-for-profit entity of which 1 would serve as the Executive
Director and that CAFI would afford me the opportunity to more effectively continue
my work as a civil rights activist and advocate for open government.
11. Martin O'Boyle appointed Brenda Russell, William Ring and Denise DeMartini to the
CAFI Board.
12. Brenda Russell is Martin O'Boyle's long time secretary. She was never present for
meetings. In fact, no formal meetings of the Board were ever called or held. For a brief
time, Brenda Russell collected my travel and business receipts, all of which were
subject to the approval of Martin O'Boyle.
13. William Ring is Martin O'Boyle's longtime business associate and corporate attorney.
14. Denise DeMartini is the long-time employee of Martin O'Boyle or entities that he
controls.
15. All of my negotiations for employment by CAFI were with Martin O'Boyle. At no
time did I engage in any negotiations regarding the details of my employment,
including my compensations, with anyone other than Martin O'Boyle.
16. At Martin O'Boyle's direction 1 drafted and signed a proposed memorandum of
understanding regarding my employment by CAFI. I have never received a copy of the
proposed memorandum of understanding signed or approved by the board of CAFI.
17.1 served as the Executive Director of CAR for approximately five (5) months, through
the end of June 2014.
18. 1 resigned because of repeated instances of conduct perpetuated by Martin O'Boyle,
Jonathan O'Boyle, William Ring, Denise DeMartini, and some of the attorneys at the
O'Boyle Law Firm, P.C., Inc., (herein the "O'Boyle Law Firm"), as set forth herein,
which I believe may be criminal, fraudulent and unethical.
19. My relationship with the O'Boyle Law Firm was not limited to my capacity as the
Executive Director of CAFI. As the individual plaintiff in several open government
lawsuits, I had retained the O'Boyle Law Firm as my personal legal counsel.
20. My communications with the attorneys of the O'Boyle Law Firm, including Jonathan
O'Boyle, affected both CAF[ and me, as an individual client.
21. Martin O'Boyle and Jonathan O'Boyle told me that Martin O'Boyle was funding the
O'Boyle Law Firm.
22. Martin O'Boyle told me that he was also funding CAFI.
23. The Martin O'Boyle business entities, including Commerce Group, Inc., CAFI, and the
O'Boyle Law Firm operated from the same physical location and were controlled by
Martin O'Boyle.
24. Despite assurances that CAR would be independent and not-for-profit, Martin
O'Boyle and the O'Boyle Law Firm used CAFI for the sole purpose of generating
attorney's fees for the O'Boyle Law Firm.
25. Throughout my tenure with CAFI, 1 repeatedly demanded that lawsuits not be filed or
settled without my direct authorization.
26. In spite of Martin O'Boyle's initial assurances to the contrary, I was not permitted to
retain legal counsel on behalf of CAFI, other than the O'Boyle Law Firm. William
Ring, CAFI's President and Martin O'Boyle's proxy, communicated this to me.
27. On numerous occasions, I learned that the O'Boyle Law Firm, on behalf of CAFI, had
filed lawsuits, without my knowledge or authorization.
28. The O'Boyle Law Firm routinely settled cases without written fee agreements,
contingency agreements or closing statements. No accountings of the monies received
were provided to me despite my repeated requests for that documentation.
29. Repeatedly, I advised Martin O'Boyle, William Ring and Jonathan O'Boyle that my
other personal attorneys had advised it was a serious Bar violation to disburse
settlement funds without client approval or closing statements.
30. Despite my protests, the O'Boyle Law Firm continued to file and settle lawsuits on
behalf of CAM and to collect and keep settlement payments. At no time was 1 ever
presented with any form of accounting for legal fees or the disbursement of settlement
payments.
31. During the O'Boyle Law Firm's representation of CAFI and me, I was personally
present, or present by telephone, at numerous O'Boyle Law Firm meetings. Denise
DeMartini, Martin O'Boyle's executive assistant and Director of CAFI, conducted
these aw firm meetings. During these meetings, and in my presence, many pending
4
cases were discussed. These discussions included the details of cases to which neither
CAFI nor I were parties. Denise DeMartini is not a member of the Florida Bar.
32. It became commonplace for Martin O'Boyle to express his opinions and to offer his
advice with respect to litigation strategies and on the conduct of CAR lawsuits as well
as the cases of other firm clients. Jonathan O'Boyle actively participated in these
discussions and, in my presence, directed the work of O'Boyle Law Firm attorneys and
made litigation decisions.
33. During the course of my employment I learned that Martin O'Boyle directed his
secretary to file in excess of 100 public records requests to the Town of Gulf Stream,
under the pretense that these were being filed on behalf of CAFI. He also ordered that
lawsuits be filed by CAFI against the Town of Gulf Stream. This was done without my
authority and litigation was filed over my objection.
34. When I complained about the fact that Martin and Jonathan O'Boyle were not
honoring the commitment that I would have sole authority to make public records
requests and conduct litigation, I was told by William Ring that this was "the way Big
Daddy wants it", i.e., Martin O'Boyle. Otherwise, "Big Daddy will turn-off the spigot
of money".
35. Jonathan O'Boyle advised me that he was not a member of the Florida Bar but would
be become a member within days. During the five months that I worked with CAFI,
Jonathan O'Boyle worked full-time at the O'Boyle Law Firm providing legal advice,
directing the administration of cases, and assuming responsibility for cases.
36. The O'Boyle Law Firm and Jonathan O'Boyle prosecuted and filed some cases
without my permission and settled some cases without my knowledge or consent.
37. No retainer agreements were ever entered into with me on behalf of CAFI. No
contingency agreements were entered into with me on behalf of CAFI. No closing
statements were ever presented to me and it appears that all monies that were solicited
from defendants were paid directly to the O'Boyle Law Firm.
36. Martin O'Boyle, through his entities, funded all of the filing fees and expenses of
CAFI as well as the expenses of the O'Boyle Law Firm. CAFI has now filed scores, if
not hundreds, of cases against state and local agencies throughout Florida as well as
various state contractors.
39. The employees of all of Martin O'Boyle's entities, including The Commerce Group,
Inc., CAFI and the O'Boyle Law Finn were shared. Denise DeMartini and William
Ring worked for Martin O'Boyle, CAFI and the O'Boyle Law Firm.
44. Although Martin O'Boyle named Denise DeMartini a director of CAFI, she also
directed the operations of the O'Boyle Law Firm and conducted law firm meetings.
41. Denise DeMartini repeatedly stated that CAFI was required to file at least one hundred
lawsuits a month; that all lawsuits had to be directed to the O'Boyle Law Firm for
prosecution, and, that as my direct supervisor, she would evaluate my performance
based upon my ability to deliver a minimum of twenty-five case per week to the
O'Boyle Law Firm.
42. Through William Ring, Martin O'Boyle insisted that the O'Boyle Law Firm handle all
litigation.
43. Martin O'Boyle told me he had unlimited money to pay filing fees for CAFI cases and
I was to file as many cases as possible.
44. When 1 asked Martin O'Boyle to quantify how many cases he was willing to finance
he said it was virtually unlimited. When I again tried to clarify by asking him if he was
willing to finance three thousand (3,000) cases in a single year, he said "sure."
45. When I learned it was the policy and practice of the O'Boyle Law Firm to demand
settlement of cases against government entities and state contractors for attorney's fees
in excess of the fees actually earned I was livid. In fact, I confronted William Ring,
Denise DeMartini and Jonathan O'Boyle in May of 2014 and stated in unequivocal
terms that I would resign if it didn't stop.
46. In one telephone conversation with Jonathan O'Boyle I warned him at least six times
that I was going to resign and that 1 objected to Denise DeMartini's demands that I
produce 100 cases per month, her control of the O'Boyle Law Firm and the windfall
scheme of collecting more monies in attorney's fees from defendants, than had
actually been earned.
47. Despite these complaints, William Ring, Denise DeMartini and Jonathan O'Boyle told
members of the firm that I had authorized the windfall scheme. When I learned of this
I confronted those involved. Nick Taylor, Esquire confirmed that despite my objection,
the windfall scheme would continue as firm policy. Shortly thereafter, I announced my
resignation.
48. Ryan Witmer and Giovanni Mesa announced they were also going to resign.
49. William Ring announced he was going to become a member of the O'Boyle Law Firm
at about that time.
50. After I resigned, Martin O'Boyle contacted me by telephone and demanded that I
withdraw an email I had sent to Nick Taylor regarding Jonathan O'Boyle's unlicensed
practice of law and Jonathan O'Boyle's authorship of the windfall scheme. During that
call, which was my last conversation with Martin O'Boyle, he repeatedly threatened to
bring great "unpleasantness" to my life if I failed to renounce my email to Nick Taylor.
51. Thereafter, Martin O'Boyle repeatedly attempted to contact me by telephone and email
seeking my assistance to facilitate CAM in filing additional lawsuits.
52. After resigning from CAFI I sent an email to numerous newspaper and television news
reporters announcing my resignation. I copied that announcement to dozens of
individuals, including Robert Sweetapple, Esquire, to notify them of my disassociation
and disapproval of the O'Boyles and their activities.
53. Within a few days of my resignation from CAFI, I granted an interview with a reporter
from the Lakeland Ledger and provided many of the details contained within this
affidavit.
54. Prior to emailing Robert Sweetapple, l had never met him, spoken to him, nor had he
or any members of his firm contacted me.
55. Prior to my emailing the law firm of Jones Foster, I had never had any contact with
Joanne O'Connor, Esquire, or any member of that law firm.
56. My subsequent contact with Robert Sweetapple and Joanne O'Conner was entirely the
result of own initiative.
57. 1 sent my email to Robert Sweetapple because I knew he represented the Town of Gulf
Stream, which I believed was being victimized by Martin O'Boyle and the O'Boyle
Law Firm and I was concerned that the conduct of Martin O'Boyle and the O'Boyle
Law Firm might be illegal and fraudulent.
58. 1 believed that I had a duty to make all victims, including the Town of Gulf Stream,
aware of what 1 learned during my association with Martin and Jonathan O'Boyle. For
example, Martin O'Boyle's orchestration of more than one hundred public records
requests being served upon the Town of Gulf Stream, allegedly under the name of
CAFI, but without my authorization; Marlin O'Boyle's direction that lawsuits be filed
by the O'Boyle Law Firm in the name of CAFI against the Town of Gulf Stream but
without my authorization, and; in spite of my objections, Martin O'Boyle's use of
CAFI as a weapon in his personal vendetta against the Town.
59. Prior to contacting Robert Sweetapple to make him aware of my concerns regarding
Martin and Jonathan O'Boyle's conduct, I met with numerous private attorneys. As a
result of those meetings I concluded that I had a duty to disassociate myself from the
O'Boyles and to make full disclosure of any illegal and fraudulent activities. I have
also contacted numerous other victims and their attorneys to advise them of the
conduct of the O'Boyles and to provide them with evidence of such conduct.
60. Before speaking with Robert Sweetapple on the phone I spoke with Joanne O'Connor
by telephone and made her aware of the misconduct.
61. I then provided to Robert Sweetapple evidence of what I believe may be fraudulent
and criminal conduct as well as a detailed chronology of events.
62. Thereafter, I spoke with Robert Sweetapple and gave him permission to meet with me
and to take a voluntary sworn video statement concerning my involvement with Martin
O'Boyle, Jonathan O'Boyle, CAFI and the O'Boyle Law Firm.
63. At all times Robert Sweetapple made me aware of the application of the lawyer -client
privilege, both as it pertained to CAFI and to me personally. I determined, based upon
independent legal advice, that 1 was fully permitted and had a duty to disclose what I
believe to be the criminal and fraudulent conduct of Martin O'Boyle, Jonathan
O'Boyle, CAFI and the O'Boyle Law Firm. I also voluntarily waived privileged
matters that arose from the joint representation by the O'Boyle Law Firm.
64. In spite of the many contrary assurances made by Martin O'Boyle to me, including the
exercise of my independent judgment and meaningful economic resources to be used
to promote the public's right to access government records and meeting, in reality
CAFI's sole purpose is to serve as an exclusive in-house mechanism whereby the
O'Boyle Law Firm can generate legal fees by filing hundreds of open government
lawsuits.
65. The egregiousness of the scheme was exacerbated by the O'Boyle Law Firm's policy
of demanding excessive and unearned legal fees from defendants as a condition of
settlement.
66. Simply put, CAFI is a profit -generating scheme funded by Martin O'Boyle to produce
fees for his son's legal practice.
67. Allegations that Joanne O'Conner, Robert Sweetapple or their firms purposely
solicited and obtained confidential information from me is false. The allegation that
this was done to gain an unfair advantage in litigation is further false.
68. The information that I provided to Robert Sweetapple and Joanne O'Connor was not
intended to provide an unfair advantage to the Town of Gulf Stream, but to make the
Town and all other victims aware of what I believe to be the fraudulent, criminal and
professionally unethical conduct of Martin O'Boyle, Jonathan O'Boyle, CAFI and the
O'Boyle Law Firm,
69. Robert Sweetapple and Joanne O'Connor did not solicit privileged information from
me. I voluntarily contacted them and made my own determination, after meetings with
10
independent counsel, as to what information and documents to provide to victims.
70. My sole motivation for contacting the media, victims and their attorneys, proving
evidence, inviting the laking of my sworn statements and authoring this affidavit is to
protect the essential civil right of all Floridians to know what their government is
doing in their name and at their expense. It is my considered opinion that the
unconscionable conduct of Martin O'Boyle, Jonathan O'Boyle, CAF[ and the O'Boyle
Law Firm serves as an example of the abuse of our legal system and will be used by
opponents of open govermuent as an excuse to limit the public's right to know.
FURTHER AFFIANT SAYETH NAUGH ,

Joel - regarding your second question below, " how many cases are your guys able to take
where you're paying the filing fees?" - what do you have in mind?

I have been having technical issues with DropBox and was just now able to send you a like to
the records and videos we discussed yesterday. Please confirm your access to those files.
At some point I'd like to talk again with you about our work. One obvious question that comes
to mind is how many cases are your guys able to take where you're paying the filing fees?

Subject Re: New case
Well, that's an interesting question. In the Fall of 2012 an attorney asked me to come up with
public records cases with a very specific set of facts and I was able to bring him 101 cases in
the space of about six weeks. Each case had nearly perfect facts and was what I refer to as a
"triple A" or a "kill -shot."
What I'm trying to gauge is how many cases you guys are comfortable doing on a contingency
basis if 1.) you are fronting the filing fees; 2.)the cases have perfect facts; 3.) the denials are
either clearly stated in writing or video records if they are in person; 4), the plaintiff is ideal
(willing to settle or go as far as the attorneys want - no media issues, etc.). We need to figure
out the economics of this - who gets paid and how - and then how many cases we want to do
and roll with it.
The alternative to filing fees may be creating a state not-for-profit with no assets, income or
bank account and filing for indigent status. I am confident that we would have to litigate that
issue and it would go up on appeal. Once the establishment figured out what we are trying to
do they would expend enormous resources to stop us. But if we puled it off there would be no
limit to the number of cases that we could file.
The less conspicuous method is just to pay the filing fees and go for the throat and get paid
