A blind Jamaica woman and the estate of a deceased Woodhaven mother who claim they were cheated by a court-appointed property guardian have taken the Flushing lawyer to court for a second time to seek damages against them, court papers show.The families of Keishma Smallwood and Alice Dailyda are currently involved in a civil litigation in New York Supreme Court against Matthew Lupoli and representatives from New York real estate companies.
Lupoli allegedly sold the women’s homes to Universal Development LLC, which soon sold the properties for a large profit, according to the lawsuit, which claims breach of fiduciary duty, common law fraud, conspiracy and other counts.
“As a consequence of the defendants’ unlawful conduct, [the] plaintiffs lost at least $171,500 on the two property sales,” the suit, that was filed in May, alleges.
Lupoli’s attorney, Patrick Broderick, said Edward Bailey, the attorney representing the plaintiffs, is wasting the court’s time because Bailey lost a similar lawsuit against the property guardian in federal court two years ago.

Good, good, good - keep the heat on them!
Lawyers make a good living without having to defraud innocent and vulnerable people.
For shame Matthew Lupoli. Stand up and be a man and just pay the families resitution.
Real estate "deals" run rampant in guardianship. Another way for them to profit.
oh what a surprise the guardians sell LOW to their buddies, the buddies sell HIGH and split the loot the profit with the guardian et al sure it gets spread around to keep everybodt in the guardianship racket happy and co-operative there are so many scams and schemes within the guardianship racket including vehicles and what about the stuff inside the house?
Keep after these corrupt lawyers
be nice to get the Judge too but
they have immunity and a self governing review board; pigs in robes!
StandUp, you are right. Lawyers make a good living at $200 on up per hour but they are greedy pigs and the corrupt justice system allows them to legally steal.
The guardianship system sucks!
