Re: Re: Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by robertaf):

Thank you, CT, for the information on the Stonegate firm and the lawsuit against it. From what I see on the Internet, it's an ongoing matter in court.

Your information is useful, and it reflects a less-than-honest environment in various aspects of the timeshare business.

The longtime expression of "caveat emptor" (buyer beware) seems very relevant to the timeshare business.

RP hit the nail on the head with his post (Dec. 12).

It's a sham company. I'll read you some excerpts from the lawsuit against them from Capital Resorts Group for shady practices. I hope this helps.

1. The Marketing Defendants operate a fake law firm that charges consumers exorbitant fees in exchange for illusory services.

2. The Stonegate Firm represents to consumers that it will reduce or eliminate legal obligations that consumers owe to timeshare developers through the rendition of legal services.

3. Despite its name, the Stonegate Firm is not a law firm.

4. Neither Post nor Colbert are attorneys.

5. Stonegate Firm's websites, stonegatefirm dot com and timeshareexit dot co , falsely suggest that the Marketing Defendants have the ability to provide legal services, thereby justifying exorbitant fees charged to unsuspecting consumers.

6. As further deception, Stonegate Firm's website utilizes fake, AI-generated, photographs of purported attorneys.

7. The Marketing Defendants deceive consumers into paying for services that the Stonegate Firm knows it cannot and does not provide.

8. The Stonegate Firm has no actual service of its own and no means to deliver its advertised services.

9. Instead of providing the advertised services, and in an effort to legitimize its scheme, the Marketing Defendants utilize the name of one or more licensed attorneys who they pay directly for their participation in the scheme.

10. Post and Colbert, individually, created the scheme at-issue in this matter and first utilized other lawyers to give the appearance of providing the advertised services.

11.Thereafter, Post and Colbert partnered with the Legal Defendants and created The Stonegate Firm, LLC to match Stonegate Law's name.

12. Stonegate Firm, which was created after the inception of the scheme, is the mere instrumentality and alter ego of Post and Colbert, who have directed the scheme both before and after the creation of Stonegate Firm and Stonegate Law. -2- 9:25-cv-13124-BHH Date Filed 10/24/25
