Frank W. Tolman Sr.: Case Study

Superior Essays
According to Grenier, the Tolmans sought other counsel to conclude the transaction with Farmer, and “public record reveals that Frank W. Tolman Sr. signed a discharge of the mortgage on September 20, 2013 indicating payment in full of the mortgage at that time.” Tolman Sr. alleges that during the sale, Grenier submitted notarized paperwork that he and his wife did not sign, and that the final price of the property was never discussed with him.

The closed case appears to have been in reference to a dishonored check from Grenier’s IOLTA account. The incident referred to in this complaint occurred around the same time period that Grenier was trying to wrap up the Tolman case.
Two of the ACAP calls were not in reference to issues that would be investigated by this office. The other calls varied; one was in reference to a settlement offer, another involved vehicles allegedly stolen by one of Grenier’s clients, a third caller stated Grenier allegedly made false statements of material fact, and finally the call that came in reference to this

Therefore, intrigued to see the process, I decided to watch the sentencing of Tom Mobey.

In addition, the defendant was not retained in the dock behind glass, but rather sat in front of it.…
