RE: Request for Investigation, Witness Tampering, Obstruction of J ustice
Kimberley Pruett-Barry, and Robert W. Bauer, TFB No. 2013-00,540 (8B)
Dear Madam Bar President:
This is a request for an investigation in TFB No. 2013-00,540 (8B) for witness tampering and
obstruction of justice by Kimberley Pruett-Barry and Robert W. Bauer. Ms. Pruett-Barry is a.k.a.
Kim Pruett-Barry, Kim Pruett or Kim Barry, and perhaps uses other variations or aliases. Also,
someone connected Anna Hodges, another unhappy Bauer client, with a false report of my death.
Bar Counsel Annemarie Craft, in a letter to me dated March 15, 2013 wrote If you wish to file a
rebuttal to the response, please do so in writing by April 1, 2013. Respectfully Ms. Young, I
request the time be tolled to file a rebuttal until the requested investigation is complete.
Ms. Craft is a witness to witness tampering and obstruction of justice by Ms. Pruett-Barry and
Mr. Bauer, and should be disqualified from further proceedings in this matter. Ms. Craft, along
with Paul Hill and Kenneth Marivn, were provided cc my email response J anuary 16, 2013 to
Ms. Pruett referring her complaints about Mr. Bauer to The Florida Bar. Now it appears Pruetts
contact with me was intended to discredit and undermine my complaint against Mr. Bauer.
In addition and in the alternative, dishonesty by Ms. Craft shown in the matter of Catherine
Barbara Chapman, RFA No. 13-12194, shows misstatements of fact and law by Ms. Chapman
that would cause a reasonable person to question her fairness and impartiality. See my letter to
you March 26, 2013, and addendum thereto March 28, 2013 in RFA No. 13-12194. Therefore
Ms. Craft should be disqualified from further proceedings in this matter.
Letter of Bar Counsel Annemarie Craft - March 15, 2013
Bar Counsel Ms. Craft stated in her letter of March 15, 2013 that it appeared that Mr. Bauer did
not provide me a copy of his response to my complaint:
Enclosed you will find Mr. Robert W. Bauer's response to your complaint. The response
sent by Mr. Bauer indicated that a copy was being mailed to you. However based on your
recent email to The Florida bar it appears that you did not receive you copy of Mr.
Bauer's response.
Gwynne Alice Young March 28, 2013
President, The Florida Bar Page - 2
Ms. Crafts statement is correct, I did not received a response from Mr. Bauer as indicated. This
is not surprising given Mr. Bauers record of dishonesty in my relationship with him, which
allegation is part of my Bar complaint(s) against him. Mr. Bauer also has a record of dishonesty
in his responses to those Bar complaints, and related matters. The involvement of Kim Pruett
appears to be a continuation of Bauers behavior intended to intimidate me and obstruct justice.
Email of Kim Pruett, J anuary 28, 2013 - Exhibit A to Mr. Bauers Response
The single remarkable item provided by Ms. Craft was Exhibit A to Mr. Bauers response, a
copy of an email from Kim Pruett who unfortunately has been contacting me for several months
complaining about Robert W. Bauer, whom she claimed negligently represented her and her
husband in a legal malpractice lawsuit against Florida attorney Peter R. McGrath. However Kim
Pruetts email states Please be advised that I am satisfied with Mr. Bauer's representation of our
case and in no way want to be associated with Mr. Gillespie and this complaint.
The email of Kim Pruett is Exhibit A to Mr. Bauers response, and appears here as Exhibit 1.
The email is dated Mon, J an 28, 2013 at 8:36 AM, and shows as its subject Per Complaint of
Neil Gillespie. The email appears to have two parties, Kim Pruett and Robert W. Bauer:
kim <kimberlypruett@earthlink.net>
"rwb@bauerlegal.com" <rwb@bauerlegal.com>
The email states in relevant portion:
Dear Sirs/Madam,
Mr. Neil Gillespie is using my name WITHOUT my permission in a complaint against
Robert Bauer, Atty, with the Florida State Bar.
Please be advised that I am satisfied with Mr. Bauer's representation of our case and
in no way want to be associated with Mr. Gillespie and this complaint.
I will also be discussing this matter with MaryAnn Crawford.
Thank you,
Kim Pruett
On information and belief, Kim Pruett-Barry and husband William Barry are presently, or were
in the past, clients of attorney Robert W. Bauer, and the Law Office of Robert W. Bauer, in the
following legal malpractice lawsuit(s) against Orlando attorney Peter R. McGrath:
Kimberly Pruett Barry, et al. v. Peter, R. McGrath, et al.
Orange County Case No. 2012-CA-009323-O
Uniform Case Number: 482012CA009323A001OX
Kimberly Pruett Barry, et al. v. Peter R. McGrath, et al.
Marion County Case No. 42-2011-CA-000329-AXXX-XX
It appears Kim Pruett-Barry and William Barry hired attorney Peter R. McGrath for a
homeowner association lawsuit in Marion County, Florida, with Majestic Oaks Homeowners
Association:
Marion County, Florida, Case Number: 42-2008-SC-005061-AXXX-XX
Plaintiff : Majestic Oaks Homeowners Association
Attorney: Christopher A. Carlisle
Defendant: William Barry
Attorney: Robert Peter McGrath
Defendant: Kimberely Pruitt (sic) Barry
Attorney: Robert Peter McGrath
It appears Kim Pruett-Barry later retained Ocala attorney Mark W. Fox to conclude the lawsuit
with Majestic Oaks Homeowners Association.
Kim Pruett-Barry indicated that she made a complaint to The Florida Bar about Peter R.
McGrath which is, or was, being investigated by Francisco Digon-Greer.
Unsolicited telephone call of Kim Pruett October 3, 2012 to Neil Gillespie
A woman self-identified as Kim Pruett telephoned me unsolicited October 3, 2012 and
complained about the legal representation of Robert W. Bauer, whom she said represented her in
a legal malpractice case against attorney Peter McGrath. The telephone call was recorded and a
copy of the recording is enclosed. A transcript of the telephone call has been ordered. I request
an extension of time to file a rebuttal to Mr. Bauers response until I can review the transcript. I
request an extension of 30 days from my receipt of the transcript. This request is separate from
my request to toll time during an investigation of witness tampering and obstruction of justice.
Upon listening again to Kim Pruetts 25 minute recorded telephone call of October 3, 2012
1
,
several things stand out, even without the aid of a transcript to review. For example:
Kim Pruett said Im sick, sick to my stomach, made a huge mistake hiring this guy, that
Mr. Bauer took all their savings, and Bauer was bleeding them for every dime.
Kim Pruett said Mr. Bauer does not know a thing about legal malpractice, for which she
hired him in the legal malpractice case against Peter R. McGrath.
Kim Pruett said former Bauer client Anna Hodges got money back that she paid Bauer.
Ms. Hodges confirmed March 24, 2013 is false, she did get any money back from Bauer.

1
Another call was received from Kim Pruett October 31, 2012 at 11:03 AM
Kim Pruett said former Bauer client Ms. Strauss got all her money back from Robert
Bauer. The client was Philip Strauss, not Ms. Strauss, and he did not get money back.
Kim Pruett called Mr. Bauer a smart ass, and said he was disrespectful toward her.
Ongoing Email Contact Kim Pruett and Neil Gillespie
Selected comments and email (not all email). There are 41 emails by my count, including one
received two days ago, March 26, 2013. All the emails appear in a composite, at Exhibit 2.
Wednesday, October 03, 2012 9:14 PM
Kim Pruitt: I wrote [Mr. Bauer] a real nasty email! I told him he was "milking" us and to
get this case moving forward or else!
Friday, October 05, 2012 8:11 PM
Kim Pruitt: BTW, I "got with" Bauer on yesterday, threatened to find another Atty, etc if
he did not help us with out case, now, all of a sudden he has made more ph calls to us in
the last 24 hrs than he has made in 2 years!
Saturday, October 20, 2012 9:16 AM
Kim Pruitt: Hey Neil and Angela, Sorry have not been in touch. FINALLY had to get a
new lawyer! We have been begging Bauer since J anuary to get us into Mediation, he says
he will and then we never hear from him again. Over 2 weeks ago, I sent him a nasty
email and told him he had 10 days to get to something scheduled. I really laid into him!
He immediately called my husband and apologized and said he would get right to work
on it! We haven't heard from him since!
We talked to another Atty last week (Mark Fox) and are switching to him on Monday.
Bauer has not done anything with our case since J an., yet somehow, we have racked up a
40K bill!!! We have already paid him about 13K and I REFUSE to give him another
dime.
J ust thought I would let ya'll know what is going on. Kim
Saturday, October 20, 2012 11:56 AM
Kim Pruitt: Bauer. He definately fails to "move a case forward", I think he tries to rack
up a bill. Kim
Tuesday, November 13, 2012 7:58 PM
Neil Gillespie: Hi Kim, A week or so ago Anna Hodges emailed me and said a woman
called her asking about Bauer. The woman also told her I passed away, have you heard
about that? That is really strange. How are things going with Bauer? Did you fire him
yet? Neil
Kim Pruitt: OH MY GOSH!! You think Bauer is telling folks that? Wouldn't put it past
him. Yep, we fired him, if you are gonna be home tomorrow afternoon, I will call ya and
tell ya all about it. Have a 10:00am appt with our new lawyer in the morning. Kim
Monday, November 19, 2012 5:02 PM
Kim Pruitt: Hey Neil, Still have no heard a PEEP from the FL State Bar on the complaint
that I filed on Peter McGrath. Hmmmmmm, sure is taking along time, almost a total of 6
months now, for them to let me know what is going on. Does it usually take this long?
kim
Neil Gillespie: Hi Kim, Have you heard from the Florida Bar about your complaint
against Peter McGrath? Also, I noticed the case docket in Orange County still shows
Robert Bauer as your counsel, will Bauer represent you at the mediation hearing
December 17th? Neil
Tuesday, November 27, 2012 8:05 AM
Kim Pruett: No to all of the above. Yea, Mark Fox was gonna be our new Lawyer, BUT,
Peters Lawyers fought it because Mark Fox is also a witness and they said he couldn't be
both. So we had to look for another lawyer and we did get one who came HIGHLY
recommended to us. His name is Paul Linder in Orlando. (sigh) I swear Neil I feel like
we are starting over at square one, even though it has been 2 years. If you note on the
Orange County Clerk of Court Bauer got approved for the Telephonic Depos in J uly, yet
he never scheduled them! These were important Depos, they were the Ins Atty's and
would love to testify against Peter. We should have been in Trial by now instead trying to
go to Mediation! Kim
Neil Gillespie: Kim, Why is Mark Fox a witness? Paul Linder is not listed as counsel in
Orange County, so officially you are still represented by Robert Bauer in this case. It
appears to me, based on my limited understanding of this matter, that Bauer never
intended to represent you zealously, but to burn through your cash and drop the matter,
like Bauer did in my case. This may show that Bauer is actually protecting McGrath,
while billing you. This may explain the lack of action by the Florida Bar too. But I need
to know more about your case to be certain. Perhaps if I read your complaint to the Bar,
that might show what is actually going on. You may be in a situation where you cannot
find counsel who will actually represent your interest, but only provide you with "fake
representation", designed either to take your money, or for one lawyer to help another
lawyer, as they are all on the same team. FYI - you and me, and the public, are not on this
team. This is the essence of my petition to the US Supreme Court. You are welcome to
provide me with your Bar complaint, and any other documents. Neil
Neil Gillespie: Hi Kim, Have you heard from the Florida Bar about your complaint
against Peter McGrath? Also, I noticed the case docket in Orange County still shows
Robert Bauer as your counsel, will Bauer represent you at the mediation hearing
December 17th? Neil
Kim Barry: Mark Fox took over the case from Peter McGrath in 2010 and ended it in 3
weeks, Peter couldn't end it in 3 years. Mark is the one that pointed out to me and Bill
that Peter had acted unethically and told us we had one "hell of a Legal Malpractice Suit
against Peter". So natually we were using him as a witnes.
Paul Linder is taking over our case on Dec. 7th. He flew to Italy for the Holidays, so it
probably hasn't hit the Orange County Court yet.
Yes, you are 100% correct, he sat there and did practically NOTHING since Feb and yet
we got a 23k bill from him!!! I KNOW for a fact that Susan Reynolds did all the work,
because she told me what she was doing. I was in communication with her until she left
in Mar. We should have been billed a fee from his Paralegal, not from him. Since she left
NOTHING has happened except for the Permission from the J udge to do the telephonic
depos. Yet he never did them! UUGGH!!
I sent him nast email messages telling him to get this stuff done, he made promises and
then we would not hear from him again until I wrote another nasty emails, etc, etc!
Wednesday, J anuary 16, 2013 3:47 PM
Kim Pruett: Lots to tell you, too much in an email, call me when you can!
Had to keep dumb butt Bauer, his lawyers would not accept my new lawyer, threatened
to take it to the J udge! 352 207-7291 Kim
Wednesday, J anuary 16, 2013 5:21 PM
Neil Gillespie: Dear Kim, Thank you for your email. In a letter dated J anuary 7, 2013 Bar
Counsel Annemarie Craft informed me that the Bar was moving forward with my
complaint, which is now designated "Robert W. Bauer, The Florida Bar File
No. 2013-00,540 (8B)".
Since you are still a client of Mr. Bauer, I think it would be better to direct your questions
about Mr. Bauer to the Florida Bar directly. Plus I do not have the time, and am not
feeling well.
You have my sincere sympathy for what you are going through, but it is better to bring
your complaints about Mr. Bauer directly to the Florida Bar. Perhaps the Bars Lawyer
Referral Service (LRS) could provide you substitute counsel. But I got Bauer as a LRS
referral, and that did not work out.
I am sending copies of my reply to this email to Bar Counsel Annemarie Craft, since she
has my complaint, and to Kenneth Marvin, Director of Lawyer Regulation, and Paul Hill,
General Counsel for the Florida Bar. Hopefully between them they can fashion a solution
to your problem with Robert W. Bauer. I ask each of them, by and through this email, to
protect you as a consumer of legal and court services.
Kim, I wish you well, and hope those persons at the Florida Bar with the authority and
responsibility to protect you will seriously listen to your cry for help about the
misconduct of Mr. Bauer. I believe Mr. Marvin in particular has a duty under The Rules
Regulating The Florida Bar to act, as well as a case I became aware of last night, Mueller
v. The Florida Bar, which holds:
"Allegation by disbarred attorney that certain complaints against him were solicited by
state bar was mere surplusage in complaint alleging malicious prosecution; state bar is
not prohibited from actively seeking complaints against particular members of bar or
members of bar in general. Mueller v. The Florida Bar, App. 4 Dist., 390 So.2d 449
(1980)."
I also believe the Florida Bar can initiate its own complaint against an attorney under
Rule 3-7.3, see section (c), and the attached letter sent to me Aug-03-09 from Mary Ellen
Bateman of the Florida Bar, paragraph number 2: "The bar does initiate complaints on
occasion and when appropriate".
Sometime after all this gets resolved, you, me, and all the other survivors of Mr. Bauers
misconduct should get together for dinner and reminisce.
Sincerely,
Neil J . Gillespie
8092 SW 115th Loop
Ocala, FL 34481
Ps. If after this email the Florida Bar does not assist you, let me know and
I will forward this matter to the extent possible in any response to my
petition for writ of certiorari, which is docketed as Petition No. 12-7747
in the Supreme Court of the United States.

Kim Pruett: I understand! I will keep you informed and KICK BUTT with Bauer! Kim
Telephone call to Anna Hodges that Neil Gillespie passed away
On November 03, 2012 at 8:16 PM I received email from Anna Hodges stating she received a
phone call from a woman telling her that I passed away, as shown below, and Exhibit 3.
Saturday, November 03, 2012 8:16 PM
Anna Hodges: Neil, I recieved a phone call from a woman in Ocala, asking me questions
about Robert, and if I was going to file a complaint. I asked if she heard of you. She said
yes, then told me you had passed away! WOW! I'm confused...Anna
Saturday, November 3, 2012 at 9:19 PM
Neil Gillespie: Hi Anna, Wow, that is strange. Obviously I am alive, although this
protracted litigation has taken a toll. Within the last month I have been in touch with
Kimberly Pruett-Barry of Ocala, she is a Bauer client, is that who you spoke with? Last
year Angela Woodhull of Gainesville called, and we have kept in touch. And Philip
Strauss called too. Who called you?
Anna Hodges: A lady from Ocala. I don't know how she got my number. I am happy to
know you're alive and well and still on the move! I haven't filled anything yet against
Bauer. Lawsuits wear me out and the court system depresses me. I need to recharge my
batteries. I just noticed today that you posted a J uly 2011 email I had sent to you. I didn't
realize that, have you had any feedback from it?
Neil Gillespie: Yes Anna, lawsuits wear people out, and makes them depressed. That is
part of the problem with the justice system. A couple of people have commented on your
email, former clients of Bauer, Angela Woodhull of Gainesville, and Kim Pruett-Barry of
Ocala. They agree with you, Bauer is a mess!
I still dont understand the call from a lady in Ocala. I believe Kim Pruett-Barry of Ocala
is the only person in Ocala who has contacted me. When did you get the call? How do
you know the call was from a lady in Ocala? Could it have been a call from someone in
Gainesville, perhaps a friend of Bauers? Or his wife? Or Beverly E Lowe, Bauers
former bookkeeper with whom he appears to have a close relationship, and whom Bauer
represented in a divorce?
Anna Hodges - No Refund From Robert W. Bauer
Kim Pruett claimed during her initial telephone call to me October 3, 3012 that former Bauer
client Anna Hodges got all her money back that she paid Robert Bauer. Ms. Hodges had retained
Mr. Bauer to defend her in a libel lawsuit:
Susan Hodges Helvenston v. Anna White Hodges
Case No. 38-2010-CA-1423, Eight J udicial Circuit, in and for Levy County
Uniform Case Number: 382010CA001423XXXXXX
Ms. Hodges contacted me unsolicited by email J uly 8, 2011: "help advise! I hired and fired
bauer..nightmare". Ms. Hodges complained to me about Mr. Bauer and later fired him. I believed
Ms. Hodges subsequently retained attorney Pierce Kelley to represent her in the libel case.
Ms. Hodges and I exchanged a number of emails about Mr. Bauer. My communication was of a
supportive nature, which is necessary to overcome the devastation caused by Legal Abuse
Syndrome. Lawyers like Mr. Bauer are very harmful to the justice system. Anna Hodges brought
her legal problem to Mr. Bauer and placed a great deal of trust and confidence in him to
represent her with competence (Rule 4-1.1) and diligence (Rule 4-1.3), but he failed to do so. As
you know, a lawyer should not accept representation unless it can be competently and promptly
completed. Unfortunately for Ms. Hodges, Mr. Bauer was a disaster and she fired him. This goes
to the myth of the attorney-client relationship:
The Myth of the Attorney-Client Relationship
The old adage is "He who represents himself has a fool for a client."
The reality has become "He who is represented is usually taken for a fool."
It is long established that the relationship between an attorney and his client is one of the
most important, as well as the most sacred, known to the law. The responsibility of an
attorney to place his clients interest ahead of his own in dealings with matters upon
which the attorney is employed is at the foundation of our legal system.
(Deal v. Migoski, 122 So. 2d 415).
It is a fiduciary relationship involving the highest degree of truth and confidence, and an
attorney is under a duty, at all times, to represent his client and handle his clients affairs
with the utmost degree of honesty, forthrightness, loyalty, and fidelity.
(Gerlach v. Donnelly, 98 So. 2d 493).
Ms. Hodges notified me by email March 24, 2013 that she did not get a refund from Mr. Bauer,
and that she smells a rat. Exhibit 4
Sunday, March 24, 2013 3:15 AM
Anna Hodges: Thank you Neil, the search engine issue did clear up!
I don't understand who this woman is that is saying things that aren't true!
I never told anyone that I got my money back from Robert because I didn't!
I wonder why I was told you were dead and you were told my money was refunded- I
smell a rat!

Dear Mr. Fox,
A lady by the name of Kim Pruett-Barry contacted me about attorney Robert W Bauer of
Gainesville whom she retained in a malpractice action against Peter McGrath. Mr. Bauer
represented me at one time.
Kim mentioned you planned to assume the litigation in Orange County, Case No. 2012-
CA-009323-O, but you are not listed as counsel. Kim said Mr. McGraths lawyer
objected to your representation over a conflict, and she was getting another lawyer.
Some of the above information is contained in a matter I will submit to the Supreme
Court of the United States soon. This is a link to my case on the SCOTUS website.

Kim Pruett-Barry - Referred to The Florida Bar J anuary 16, 2013 by Neil Gillespie
By J anuary 16, 2013 I was concerned that Kim Pruett may be misrepresenting herself, and told
her as shown by the email copied cc to The Florida Bar to direct her questions about Mr.
Bauer to The Florida Bar. The email was copied to Bar Counsel Annemarie Craft, General
Counsel Paul Hill, and Kenneth Marvin, Director, Lawyer Regulations. Exhibit 7
It now appears Kim Pruett was in fact misrepresenting herself. Bar Counsel Annemarie Craft is a
witness to the misrepresentation of Kim Pruett by way of the email. Therefore I ask that Ms.
Craft be removed from the investigation of Mr. Bauer.
Email of Kim Pruett-Barry Received March 26, 2013 by Neil Gillespie
On March 26, 2013 I received the following unsolicited email from Kim Pruett. Exhibit 8
Monday, March 25, 2013 6:13 PM
Neil!
I had to back off from your complaint because we had to keep Bauer as our Atty,
BUT NO MORE!! I will call Annemarie Craft first thing in the morning!
I fired Bauer today without even having another Atty to represent us and yes
it has been going on this long. He has failed to follow through on EVERYTHING,
yet he has racked up a bill that we will never be able to pay.
YOU ARE RIGHT IN EVERYTHING YOU SAY about Bauer following through on
ANYTHING and then when you ask him why something is not done it is ONE EXCUSE
AFTER ANOTHER!
I will be filing Arbitration throught the State Bar to get our fees back.
I am YOUR witness, USE ME!
Sincerely,
Kimberly Pruett
Public Records Request
Ms. Young, please consider this a request for records that mention MaryAnn Crawford. This
name appears in the email of Kim Pruett: I will also be discussing this matter with MaryAnn
Crawford. Is MaryAnn Crawford employed by the Florida Bar? If so, identify her position.
Kindly provide records showing if former Bauer client Ms. Strauss or Philip Strauss got any
money back from Robert Bauer as stated by Kim Pruett during her phone call October 3, 2012.
Kindly provide records showing if former Bauer client Anna Hodges got any money back from
Mr. Bauer as stated by Kim Pruett during her phone call October 3, 2012. (Ms. Hodges said no)
Letter J anuary 10, 2013 to Bar Counsel Ms. Craft - What is Going On?
On J anuary 10, 2013 I wrote Bar Counsel Annemarie Craft upon receipt of her letter dated
J anuary 7, 2013, but did not get a response. Both letters appear in a composite as Exhibit 9.
Dear Ms. Craft:
I received but am confused as to your letter dated J anuary 7, 2013 relative to the above
captioned complaint. Bar Counsel Mr. Wilhelm dismissed/returned my complaint against
Mr. Bauer dated October 31, 2012, designated RFA No. 13-7675, by letter to me dated
November 9, 2012. The complaint was then submitted to the Supreme Court of the
United States for pendent jurisdiction December 10, 2012 in Petition No. 12-7747 for
writ of certiorari. Kindly explain what is going on, since your letter makes no reference
to this chain of events, or Petition No. 12-7747.
My priority now is Petition No. 12-7747 which is taking all my time. I likely am not able
to file a rebuttal in this matter until either the conclusion of Petition No. 12-7747, or a
break in the workload. While ACAP central may be adequate to intake this complaint,
bias at the local level is another matter, and recognized by the Special Commission on
Lawyer Regulation chaired by Henry Cox (Cox Report). The Cox Report recommended
ACAP style screening of all written inquiries and complaints so that all questions
concerning the conduct of members of the bar are addressed in a similar fashion. The
Commission also recommended a central intake system utilizing ACAP resources in
Tallahassee.
The reason for central ACAP intake is clear: The Commission knew that some
complaints, like my earlier complaint against Mr. Bauer, TFB No. 2011-00,073 (8B),
would not be addressed in a similar fashion locally where the attorney was favored.
The Letter Report issued March 18, 2011 by Mr. Watson in 2011-00,073 (8B) did not
copy with Rule 3-7.4(k) because it did not explain why my complaint did not warrant
further proceedings.
Pursuant to Rule 33.4(b), I believe a special grievance committee is needed, located
outside the Eight J udicial Circuit which includes Alachua County where Mr. Bauer
practices, and outside the jurisdiction of Mr. Watson, and Carl Schwait, the designated
reviewer, to avoid bias. Sending this matter to another state in the U.S. Eleventh Circuit
may even be required to avoid bias now.
Sincerely,

In addition, Ms. Crafts letter dated March 14, 2013 and enclosures appear at Exhibit 10.
Conclusion
Ms. Young, the requested investigation into witness tampering and obstruction of justice may
vindicate Ms. Pruett-Barry. In that case it would show Robert W. Bauer is engaged in the worst
kind of misconduct possible: Betrayal of his clients with malice aforethought.
Mr. Bauer may have discovered the perfect crime: He represents himself to clients as a specialist
in attorney malpractice, and once retained, bleeds the client of funds in a fake representation
that is intended to break the client, and intended to protect the subject attorney. This looks like a
pattern of racketeering that is aided and abetted by other attorneys, such as Ryan Christopher
Rodems, Eugene P. Castagliuolo, and Catherine Barbara Chapman in my cases.
Ms. Young, is The Florida Bar part of this racketeering activity?
Sincerely,
Neil J . Gillespie

Dear Madam Bar President:
The Supreme Court of the United States docket shows the petition for rehearing an order
denying Petition No. 12-7747 for writ of certiorari was distributed for Conference of April 12,
2013. http://www.supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?FileName=/docketfiles/12-7747.htm
Below I have forwarded an unsolicited email from Kimberly Pruett, who states in part "I fired
Bauer today without even having another Atty to represent us..." and "I will call Annemarie Craft
first thing in the morning!" and "I am YOUR witness, USE ME!"
I am at a loss to explain what is going on between Kimberly Pruett and Robert Bauer, and
request an investigation, as it affects my complaint against Bauer. My last responsive email to
Kimberly Pruett was J anuary 16, 2013, wherein I declined further involvement and referred her
to The Florida Bar for assistance with her "Bauer problem" and provided email copies to Paul
Hill, Kenneth Marvin, and Annemarie Craft. I also told Ms. Pruett if The Florida Bar would not
assist her, I would raise the issue, if possible, in Petition No. 12-7747.
Attached you will find a PDF copy of my letter to you and appendix of March 28, 2013, a
Request for Investigation, Witness Tampering, Obstruction of J ustice, Kimberley Pruett-Barry,
and Robert W. Bauer, TFB No. 2013-00,540 (8B). Included is a records request on page 13. The
original documents sent UPS include a copy of the telephone call of Kimberly Pruett to me
October 3, 2012, which file is too large to email.
Also attached you will find a one-page addendum to my letter to you March 26, 2013 about Bar
Counsel Annemarie Crafts closure of RFA No. 13-12194.
Also attached you will find a one-page addendum to my letter to you March 26, 2013 about
confidentiality and Bar complaints.
All the original documents were sent to you yesterday and should arrive in Tampa today VIA
UPS No. 1Z64589FP295864526.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Neil J . Gillespie

said she and her husband William paid Bauer $40,000 to sue their former attorney for
legal malpractice. Attorney Peter McGrath represented Kim and William in a HOA case
in Marion County, which was reported in the Ocala Star-Banner.

Kim found your Bauer pleading on my website, and said Bauer was disrespectful to her

this email to Kim if that is okay with you. Let me know.

Okay Kim, that sounds fine. I have a couple questions if you dont mind. How did you find
Robert Bauer? Was he a referral from the Florida Bar Lawyer Referral Service? If so, he is
supposed to meet certain requirements, such as maintaining malpractice insurance.
Also, who did you speak with at the Florida Bar? My notes from our phone call show "Mr.
Negon" but that name does not appear in the Bar directory, maybe I have the wrong spelling?
I can send you a copy of my second complaint against Bauer if you like. Hopefully it will be

Kim and Angela,
Thanks for the update. For some time I have been working on a second Bar complaint against
Bauer, and will include this information. Please forward any additional information you would
like me to include. I hope to submit my Bauer complaint sometime this coming week. Then I
will post the complaint online and provide each of you a copy. Also, each of you could make
your own complaint against Bauer. You are free to reference things from my complaint.
Theodore P. Littlewood J r., Bar Counsel, has opened complaints against two of my former
lawyers, Ryan Christopher Rodems, File No. 2013-10,271 (13E), and Eugene P. Castagliuolo,
File No. 2013-10,162 (6D). This week I submitted rebuttals in each complaint, see attached. I am
providing this information so you can see how the complaint process works. In the case of Mr.
Castagliuolo I submitted a suggestion of Emergency Suspension under Rule 3-5.2(a).
Castagliuolo is like a character out of the Sopranos, in appearance and mannerisms. We are the
same age, 56 years-old, and we are both from Philadelphia, PA. Luckily I was raised in Bucks
County, a northern suburb. Castagliuolo was raised in what is colloquially known as "South
Philly". He is a gangster-type, always making threats, and using colorful language.
Ill send you my Bauer complaint as soon as it is done. Thanks.

nasty email and told him he had 10 days to get to something scheduled. I really laid into him! He
immediately called my husband and apologized and said
he would get right to work on it! We haven't heard from him since!
Bauer has not done anything with our case since J an., yet somehow, we have racked up a 40K bill!!! We

We have been begging Bauer since J anuary to get us into Mediation, he says he will and then we never
hear from him again. Over 2 weeks ago, I sent him a
nasty email and told him he had 10 days to get to something scheduled. I really laid into him! He
immediately called my husband and apologized and said

Hi Kim,
Thanks for this update. Do you have a file or case number for your complaint to Francisco
Digon-Greer? Sometimes it is called a "RFA" number. Even the date you initiated your
complaint would help.
Attached is a draft about some of Bauers misconduct in other matters. I may include this in my
new complaint.
Also attached is my letter to the State Attorney with public records of Bauers various contacts
with law enforcement.

Kim,
Also, your judge in Marion County, William "J ack" Singbush, was recently
reprimanded by the J udicial Qualifications Commission. The case is profiled on my
website here http://www.nosue.org/jqc-judicial-qualifications-commission/
J udge Singbush is presiding over a lawsuit by 21 residents of Oak Run against the
developer, DECCA and Kulbir Ghumman. I attended one of the hearings and thought
J udge Singbush was disrespectful to our attorney, Carol Anderson. The case is on
appeal by the homeowners.

Hi Kim. Six months sounds like a long time to reach a decision to open a

Since you are suing McGrath, sometimes the Bar waits to see what happens in
the court case. There are Bar rules about this. Do you have any hearings
pending in your case against McGrath?

Kim,
Why is Mark Fox a witness? Paul Linder is not listed as counsel in Orange County, so officially
you are still represented by Robert Bauer in this case.
It appears to me, based on my limited understanding of this matter, that Bauer never intended to
represent you zealously, but to burn through your cash and drop the matter, like Bauer did in my
case. This may show that Bauer is actually protecting McGrath, while billing you. This may
explain the lack of action by the Florida Bar too. But I need to know more about your case to be
certain. Perhaps if I read your complaint to the Bar, that might show what is actually going on.
You may be in a situation where you cannot find counsel who will actually represent your
interest, but only provide you with "fake representation", designed either to take your money, or
for one lawyer to help another lawyer, as they are all on the same team. FYI - you and me, and
the public, are not on this team. This is the essence of my petition to the US Supreme Court.
You are welcome to provide me with your Bar complaint, and any other documents.

Mark Fox took over the case from Peter McGrath in 2010 and ended it in 3 weeks, Peter couldn't end it in 3
years. Mark is the one that pointed
out to me and Bill that Peter had acted unethically and told us we had one "hell of a Legal Malpractice Suit
against Peter". So natually we were using him as
a witnes.
Paul Linder is taking over our case on Dec. 7th. He flew to Italy for the Holidays, so it probably hasn't hit the
Orange County Court yet.
Yes, you are 100% correct, he sat there and did practically NOTHING since Feb and yet we got a 23k bill
from him!!! I KNOW for a fact that
Susan Reynolds did all the work, because she told me what she was doing. I was in communication with her
until she left in Mar. We should have
been billed a fee from his Paralegal, not from him. Since she left NOTHING has happened except for the
Permission from the J udge to do the
telephonic depos. Yet he never did them! UUGGH!!
I sent him nast email messages telling him to get this stuff done, he made promises and then we would not
hear from him again until I wrote
another nasty emails, etc, etc!

Kim,

It appears your complaint is in the "intake" stage in Tallahassee, in ACAP -
Attorney Consumer Assistance Program. If ACAP finds a likely violation of
the rules, your complaint is sent to a local grievance committee, the panel
you mentioned. That is how my complaint went with Bauer. But the local
grievance committee is comprised of the lawyers colleagues, perhaps his own
friends and cronies, who often overlook wrongdoing to help a fellow lawyer.

Hey,
I did go ahead and call today and they said that the matter is under investigation.
They also said the next step is that it will be sent back to his district. I guess this
is what happened to you, correct?

This is when it goes before a "panel" and they decide if he did something wrong, ot at least
this is my understanding.

Yep, you are right, it is still in ACAP. I asked why is was taking so long and they said because
they thought it was a very serious matter and they were taking it seriously.

They did tell me the next step was the Grievance Committee, should be getting a letter on
that soon.

Like you, I think this is BS!! It should NEVER go back to THEIR District, Atty's, just like Dr.'s
rarely go against each other!

OK, got a letter from the Bar, it is going back to Orlando.
They are asking for more info.

This is how far you went with Bauer as well, correct?

Any pointers?

3/22/2013

Dear Kim,

Thank you for your email. In a letter dated J anuary 7, 2013 Bar Counsel
Annemarie Craft informed me that the Bar was moving forward with my
No. 2013-00,540 (8B)".

Since you are still a client of Mr. Bauer, I think it would be better to
direct your questions about Mr. Bauer to the Florida Bar directly. Plus I do
not have the time, and am not feeling well.

You have my sincere sympathy for what you are going through, but it is
better to bring your complaints about Mr. Bauer directly to the Florida Bar.
Perhaps the Bars Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) could provide you substitute
counsel. But I got Bauer as a LRS referral, and that did not work out.

I am sending copies of my reply to this email to Bar Counsel Annemarie
Craft, since she has my complaint, and to Kenneth Marvin, Director of Lawyer
Regulation, and Paul Hill, General Counsel for the Florida Bar. Hopefully
between them they can fashion a solution to your problem with Robert W.
Bauer. I ask each of them, by and through this email, to protect you as a
consumer of legal and court services.

Kim, I wish you well, and hope those persons at the Florida Bar with the
authority and responsibility to protect you will seriously listen to your
cry for help about the misconduct of Mr. Bauer. I believe Mr. Marvin in
particular has a duty under The Rules Regulating The Florida Bar to act, as
well as a case I became aware of last night, Mueller v. The Florida Bar,
which holds:

"Allegation by disbarred attorney that certain complaints against him were
solicited by state bar was mere surplusage in complaint alleging malicious
prosecution; state bar is not prohibited from actively seeking complaints
against particular members of bar or members of bar in general. Mueller v.
The Florida Bar, App. 4 Dist., 390 So.2d 449 (1980)."

I also believe the Florida Bar can initiate its own complaint against an
attorney under Rule 3-7.3, see section (c), and the attached letter sent to
me Aug-03-09 from Mary Ellen Bateman of the Florida Bar, paragraph number 2:
"The bar does initiate complaints on occasion and when appropriate".

Sometime after all this gets resolved, you, me, and all the other survivors
of Mr. Bauers misconduct should get together for dinner and reminisce.

Sincerely,

Neil J . Gillespie

Yes Anna, lawsuits wear people out, and makes them depressed. That is part of the problem with
the justice system. A couple of people have commented on your email, former clients of Bauer,
Angela Woodhull of Gainesville, and Kim Pruett-Barry of Ocala. They agree with you, Bauer is
a mess!
I still dont understand the call from a lady in Ocala. I believe Kim Pruett-Barry of Ocala is the
only person in Ocala who has contacted me. When did you get the call? How do you know the
call was from a lady in Ocala? Could it have been a call from someone in Gainesville, perhaps a
friend of Bauers? Or his wife? Or Beverly E Lowe, Bauers former bookkeeper with whom he
appears to have a close relationship, and whom Bauer represented in a divorce?

represented me at one time.
Kim mentioned you planned to assume the litigation in Orange County, Case No. 2012-CA-

representation over a conflict, and she was getting another lawyer.

I am sending copies of my reply to this email to Bar Counsel Annemarie
Craft, since she has my complaint, and to Kenneth Marvin, Director of Lawyer
Regulation, and Paul Hill, General Counsel for the Florida Bar. Hopefully
between them they can fashion a solution to your problem with Robert W.
Bauer. I ask each of them, by and through this email, to protect you as a
consumer of legal and court services.

Kim, I wish you well, and hope those persons at the Florida Bar with the
authority and responsibility to protect you will seriously listen to your
cry for help about the misconduct of Mr. Bauer. I believe Mr. Marvin in
particular has a duty under The Rules Regulating The Florida Bar to act, as
well as a case I became aware of last night, Mueller v. The Florida Bar,
which holds:

"Allegation by disbarred attorney that certain complaints against him were
solicited by state bar was mere surplusage in complaint alleging malicious
prosecution; state bar is not prohibited from actively seeking complaints
against particular members of bar or members of bar in general. Mueller v.
The Florida Bar, App. 4 Dist., 390 So.2d 449 (1980)."

I also believe the Florida Bar can initiate its own complaint against an
attorney under Rule 3-7.3, see section (c), and the attached letter sent to
me Aug-03-09 from Mary Ellen Bateman of the Florida Bar, paragraph number 2:
"The bar does initiate complaints on occasion and when appropriate".

7
Sometime after all this gets resolved, you, me, and all the other survivors
of Mr. Bauers misconduct should get together for dinner and reminisce.

Sincerely,

Neil J . Gillespie

RE: Robert W. Bauer, The Florida Bar File No. 2013-00,540 (8B)
Dear Ms. Craft:
I received but am confused as to your letter dated January 7, 2013 relative to the above captioned
complaint. Bar Counsel Mr. Wilhelm dismissed/returned my complaint against Mr. Bauer dated
October 31,2012, designated RFA No. 13-7675, by letter to me dated November 9,2012. The
complaint was then submitted to the Supreme Court of the United States for pendent jurisdiction
December 10, 2012 in Petition No. 12-7747 for writ of certiorari. Kindly explain what is going
on, since your letter makes no reference to this chain of events, or Petition No. 12-7747.
My priority now is Petition No. 12-7747 which is taking all my time. I likely am not able to file a
rebuttal in this matter until either the conclusion of Petition No. 12-7747, or a break in the
workload. While ACAP central may be adequate to intake this complaint, bias at the local level
is another matter, and recognized by the Special Commission on Lawyer Regulation chaired by
Henry Cox ("Cox Report). The Cox Report recommended ACAP style screening of all written
inquiries and complaints so that all questions concerning the conduct of members of the bar are
addressed in a similar fashion. The Commission also recommended a central intake system
utilizing ACAP resources in Tallahassee.
The reason for central ACAP intake is clear: The Commission knew that some complaints, like
my earlier complaint against Mr. Bauer, TFB No. 2011-00,073 (8B), would not be "addressed in
a similar fashion" locally where the attorney was favored. The Letter Report issued March 18,
2011 by Mr. Watson in 2011-00,073 (8B) did not copy with Rule 3-7.4(k) because it did not
explain why nlY complaint did not warrant further proceedings.
Pursuant to Rule 3-3.4(b), I believe a special grievance committee is needed, located outside the
Eight Judicial Circuit which includes Alachua County where Mr. Bauer practices, and outside
the jurisdiction of Mr. Watson, and Carl Schwait, the designated reviewer, to avoid bias. Sending
this matter to another state in the U.S. Eleventh Circuit may even be required to avoid bias now.

NOTICE OF GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
1. The enclosed letter is an informal inquiry. Your response is required under the
provisions of The Rules Regulating The Florida Bar 4 8.4(g), Rules of Professional Conduct.
Failure to provide a written response to this complaint is in itself a violation of Rule 4 8.4(g). If
you do not respond, the matter will be forwarded to the grievance committee for disposition in
accordance with Rule 3-7.3 of the Rules of Discipline.
2. Many complaints considered first by staff counsel are not forwarded to a grievance
committee, as they do not involve violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct justifying
disciplinary action.
3. "Pursuant to Rule 3-7.I(a), Rules of Discipline, any response by you in these proceedings
shall become part of the public record of this matter and thereby become accessible to the public
upon the closure of the case by Bar counselor upon a finding of no probable cause, probable
cause, minor misconduct, or recommendation of diversion. Disclosure during the pendency of
an investigation may be made only as to status if a specific inquiry concerning this case is made
and if this matter is generally known to be in the public domain."
4. The grievance committee is the Bar's "grand jury." Its function and procedllre are set
forth in Rule 3-7.4. Proceedings before the grievance committee, for the most part, are non
adversarial in nature. However, you should carefully review Chapter 3 of the Rules Regulating
The Florida Bar.
5. If the grievance committee finds probable cause, formal adversarial proceedings, which
ordinarily lead to disposition by the Supreme Court of Florida, will be commenced under
3-7.6, unless a plea is submitted under Rule 3-7.

Dear Ms. Craft:
In order to appropriately respond to the complaint alleged by Neil J. Gillespie, I have numbered
the paragraphs of the complaint and have included a copy attached hereto for the Bar's
convenience.
I. This is not a new complaint; this is a complaint that repeats similar allegations
previously addressed by the Florida Bar and deternlined that the Respondent did not
engage in any unethical activity.
2. No substantive statements made in paragraph; therefore, no response.
4. It is Respondent's understanding that Kimberly Pruett-Barry has contacted the Bar
and disallowed any statements made by Neil J. Gillespie and attached as Exhibit
"A" is an email refuting that Ms. Kimberly Pruett-Barry is dissatisfied with my
services.
5. See answer to number 4.
7. Acknowledgment of previous complaint was made and it was determined to be
unfounded.
Page 1 of3
8. Respondent believes that the Florida Bar complied with all requirements necessary
to satisfy Rule 3-7.4(k).
9. Respondent believes that Mr. Schwait responded appropriately.
10. Respondent believes that Mr. Schwait responded appropriately.
11. Response is not warranted.
12. No substantive claims made in paragraph; therefore, no response.
13. There are outstanding fees owed to the finn that the Petitioner has not paid and
Respondent has properly executed a charging lien upon files held with the Law
Office ofRobert W. Bauer.
14. No substantive issues stated relating to ethic violations.
15. No substantive issues stated relating to ethic violations.
16. Relates to civil actions not within the purview of the Florida Bar.
17. Relates to civil actions not within the purview of the Florida Bar.
18. Relates to civil actions not within the pwview ofthe Florida Bar.
19. The issues of the settlement agreement procured by Mr. Rodems have been litigated
in Federal Court and found to binding and appropriate. This is not a matter of
ethics to be put before the Florida Bar.
20. The settlement, in no way, resolved the charging lien exercised by this finn. It
simply released any claim Mr. Gillespie had against the Respondent and the
Respondent's finn. The Settlement Agreement was between Mr. Rodems and Mr.
Gillespie. Mr. Rodems did not have the authority to release any claims of this law
office.
21. It is not appropriate at this time for the Respondent to advise the Petitioner on legal
matters.
Pages 6 through 15 consists of rehashing allegations previously addressed in the Bar
complaint. No additional responses at this time.
Remaining portion of Page 16 through frrst half of Page 21 were addressed in first
complaint.
22. Respondent denies any allegations of lying, misrepresenting the facts, or misleading
the Florida Bar.
23. Respondent denies any allegations ofmisrepresenting or making false statement.
Page 2 of3
24. Respondent denies any allegations ofmisrepresentation.
25. Angela Woodhull is fonner client who terminated our services because she could
not continue to afford our services. Ms. Woodhull had numerous cases and we had
to manage all of them. We had just won a complicated venue issue before Ms.
Woodhull terminated our services. I do not know why she would be displeased
with our services.
26. This finn did assert charging liens against Ms. Woodhull's cases, but they were not
improper.
27. Respondent admits that this office has used law students and graduate law students
to assist in drafting pleadings and research. This is a common practice and is not
unethical. It is, in fact, encouraged as a mentoring process.
28. Respondent does not recall making any such statement.
29. See Exhibit "A."
30. No substantive claims made to be able to respond to, and cannot reasonably respond
to the allegation without a waiver of attorney-client privilege.
31. Phillip Strauss is a previous complaint. This case was handled by an associate of
the finn and was not handled by myself. This complaint has been reviewed by the
Florida Bar and it was determined that there was no violation.
32. This is a complaint that was reviewed by the Florida Bar and it was detennined that
there was no ethical violation. The complaint was closed because the statute of
limitation expired prior to our finn handling. I did this case at no charge.
In conclusion, Mr. Gillespie's complaint is nothing more than a rehashing of previous complaints
wherein it has been detemlined that there was no cause and is a waste of the Florida Bar's time.
Mr. Gillespie has filed numerous federal actions, state actions, and now, Supreme Court actions,
all of which have been dismissed or will be dismissed shortly.
W. Bauer, Esq.
