Question ID: 120016
Search out court records for Richard Solymos and Leslie R. Solymos in the
Southern Florida counties of Miami-Dade, Monroe, Broward and Palm
Beach Counties.  The primary objective of the search is to establish
the track record of these two individuals as professional "guardians",
and/or "personal representatives" and "heirs" of living as well as
deceased old persons.  The secondary objective is to become familiar
with the history of litigation of any nature where either Richard or
Leslie Solymos was suing or being sued .

We would like the list of court records where Solymos appears either
as a plaintiff or defendent, and records where Solymos sought
appointment as personal representative of living old people as well as
records where Solymos was appointed to act on behalf of an estate of a
deceased person as a "guardian".

We need file numbers, dates, and the name of the estate and
relatioship claimed to the person or estate of which guardianship was
being sought. We need both successful applications as well as rejected
ones (where Solymos was refused guardianship).
We will order copies of the actual records ourselves from the clerk of
the court(s).

Hello--

I have carefully researched your question and have your answer.

I searched databases from Miami-Dade, Monroe, Broward and Palm 
Beach county courts. And found file numbers, dates, names, and
relationships for you, as requested.

Below is the information you're looking for:

First, I searched the Miami-Dade County Clerk of Courts database. You
may do this yourself online. The link is
http://www.co.miami-dade.fl.us/civil/pubsearch.asp

I used the names of both Richard Solymos and Leslie R. Solymos for
this search and turned up the following court cases, legal documents,
and information:

"Party 1 Name: SOLYMOS, RICHARD

Then I broke each of these cases out for you and found the following

The name "Solymos, Leslie" turned up no information in Miami-Dade
County.

Second, I searched the Monroe County, Florida, Clerk of Courts
database. No records were found. You may search this yourself at
http://www.minutes-monroe-clerk.com/scripts/LFWebLink.exe/weblink/browser.html?folder=10&cid=-1501751735

Third, I searched the Broward County, Florida, Clerk of Courts
database. On this site, I searched for the names you've given and
agreed to the terms of the site, "This web site is intended for the
private use of the public for general informational purposes only. The
information available through this web site is not the official court

You may search the Broward County Clerk of Courts documents yourself.

While I did find one case involving Richard Solymos in Broward County,
it didn’t appear to me to be related to your hypothesis. Below is the
case information I found on Richard Solymos:

Back to the Frequently Asked Questions list 

How may I obtain more information for this case?

The Case Detail pages provide more information on a particular case.
Once you have performed your search, you may navigate to these detail
pages. Select the CASE DETAIL button on the Case Summary page to view
more information about your selected case. The Party Detail page will
be displayed. Select the links on the blue tabs along the top of the
screen to navigate to other detail pages.

Back to the Frequently Asked Questions list 

What if my case is not listed in the search results?

First, verify that the search criteria used is for a “Broward County”
case.

If it is a new Broward County case, rerun your search at a later date
until the case is entered into the system. There is a 24 hour lag time
between when a case is entered and when the case is available for
viewing over the internet.

If your case is not listed on the search results page, make sure that
your case is not listed on a different search results page. Only 20
cases are listed on each search results page. If your search returned
more than 20 cases, there will be a list of additional search results
pages at the bottom of the screen. Select the "2" in the search page
list and select the button VIEW ENTRIES FOR A SELECTED PAGE (UP TO 20
PER PAGE). The second page of search results will be displayed. Review
all search results pages to find your case. Once you find your case,
select the radio button next to your case. Then select the button VIEW
SELECTED CASE SUMMARY to see information about your case.

If your case is not listed on any search results page, your search did
not return your case. You may enter a new search using different
search criteria. To search by different criteria, select the PERFORM
ANOTHER SEARCH button. Using different search criteria may help to
return your case. For example, if your party name search is not
returned, try performing a partial name search. If your case number
search is not returned, make sure that the case number format is
correct. There is a specific case number format for Internet searchs.

If you are performing a public search, the Public Search page will be
displayed. This page provides the ability to search by Party Name,
Case Number and/or Citation Number. Enter different search criteria
for your new search. Search criteria may be combined across the
different sections of the Public Search page.

If you are performing a premium access search (i.e., you have
registered with a premium access account), the Premium Party Page will
be displayed. Enter your new search criteria on the appropriate search
page. Searches can be performed by case party, case identifier,
citation number, event, filing information, disposition, and docket.
The blue tabs along the top of the premium search pages provide the
ability to easily navigate to all premium access search pages. Premium
access search pages include Party Name Search, Case Identifier Search,
Citation Number Search, Disposition Search, Docket Search, Filing
Search, and Event Search. Search criteria may be combined across the
different sections of each Premium Access page (but not across tabs or
pages).

Back to the Frequently Asked Questions list 

What is a partial name search?

A partial name search provides the ability to perform a search on part
of a name. A Partial Name search will return all cases matching that
part of a name. If you do not know how to spell a party’s Last Name,
you may search by the starting letters in the party’s name. If you
think the party’s last name is “Anderson” or “Andersen”, enter “Ander”
in the Last Name field and select the Partial Name Search checkbox.
All cases that have party last names starting with “Ander” will be
returned by your search. The Partial Name search may also be used with
Business or Organization Names.

Back to the Frequently Asked Questions list 

What is "Disposition Entered*"?

Case and count status of "disposition entered" signifies that although
either a Court ruled on or disposed of the underlying case or count,
or it was otherwise disposed of by operation of law, it nonetheless
allows for the possibility that there may still be other actions or
matters pending or due on or related to that case or count, including
but not limited to, fine, fee or cost payments due; probation,
restitution or special conditions pending; attorney's fees motions
pending; defendant declared unable to stand trial and committed to a
hospital; appeals pending; and others. Again, for complete and
accurate information, you are cautioned to consult the official
records of the Clerk of Court, which are only those records which are
kept in the court files in the Clerk of Court's office in the Broward
County Courthouse."

The name Leslie Solymos did not match any cases in Broward County.

Finally, I searched the Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts database.
You may do this yourself. The link to the database is
http://oris.co.palm-beach.fl.us/or_web1/or_sch_1.asp

This was the trickiest database for me to search, because I originally
tried to search the database when it was being updated. I tried
various methods of accessing the database for a couple hours, before I
realized the courts update the database the first Friday evening of
every month. So this delayed me for some time.

When I searched the Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts database, I
agreed to the following disclaimer: "The Clerk of the Circuit Court
shall not be liable for errors contained herein or for any damages in
connection with the use of the information contained herein."

I searched both names in the Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts
database. No court records were returned.

So, it appears Richard Solymos has been in court in two of the four
counties you mentioned: Miami-Dade and Broward.

You may contact each of the courts about which you’ve requested
information. Below is the contact information:

Thanks for the details of Solymos on Hoffmann.  We are familiar with
this case and one of the filings is mine.  Does the name Solymos show
up in any of the other county records on files other than Lucie
Hoffman? Does Solymos show up as a guardian for any one else other
than Lucia Hoffman?

Hello--

Very good question.

In a couple of instances in my initial search (in Monroe and Palm
Beach counties), I searched several other county databases (i.e.
property records, probate information, and the like).

I did find some information when I searched the Broward County
property appraisals office database. But this doesn't indicate any
information about his relationship with Lucia Hoffman or about any
other guardianship information with other individuals.

Also this afternoon I've searched other databases from Miami-Dade
County. Nothing turned up. This information that you're looking for
would likely show up in a probate database search, such as those I've
conducted, as guardianship is a probate issue.

For what it's worth, below is the information I found from searching
the Broward County property appraisers office. You may search this
database yourself at

Thanks for the real estate information.  Can I conclude based on your
search results on the counties mentioned that Richard Solymos' looking
after Lucie Hoffman is a one time occurance and that he does not make
a practice of looking after old people and taking care of their
assets?  Can I also conclude that Richard Solymos has not been named
as benficiary in any estates?

Clarification of Answer by darrel-ga on 07 Dec 2002 12:29 PST
John316--

You can conclude that Richard Solymos has only obtaining guardianship
and the like of one individual in the four counties you have given.
This is not to say this hasn't occurred in other counties or other
states. That would require a much more detailed search.

You can conclude that Richard Solymos does not own any other property
in those four counties other than the one named above.

You cannot, however, conclude that Richard Solymos has not been named
as beneficiary in any estates. Wills, insurance, and the like are
private unless originating from a public entity or until they are made
public in court records.

I hope this helps.

Is Richard Solymos an attorney or not (apparently he isn't)?  Looks
like he was just a private individual who happened to befriend Lucia
Hoffman and wanted to help with the administration of her estate.  Is
Leslie Solymos his wife?  Since you know he lives in Ft. Lauderdale
(Broward County), best bet for getting information on having his
background checked is to pay a private investigator $100-$200 to do
the lookups, since they have access to databases that can cover more
territory (perhaps also including any civil/criminal violations) than
just what the county courts have and you have a much better chance of
coming up with some interestingly "juicy" information.

SINCERELY,
4keith-ga
