Article 1: Did Attorney La‑Zondra Randolph, Attorney John R. Nelson, Coldwell Banker Realty, and My Wife’s Daughter Connive to Destroy Me?
This is the first installment in a seven‑part series documenting my experience in a divorce case that, in my view, spiraled into a coordinated campaign of manipulation, coercion, and questionable legal maneuvering. Throughout this series, I will lay out the timeline, the decisions, the players involved, and the disturbing pattern of behavior that I believe contributed to the chaos surrounding my marriage and my home. Readers can judge for themselves whether these actions were innocent mistakes — or something far more deliberate.
From where I stand, the events of this divorce case don’t look like coincidence. They look like a setup — a coordinated effort involving Attorney La‑Zondra Randolph, Attorney John Nelson, Coldwell Banker Realty’s listing agent Milton James, and my wife’s daughter, D.J. Styles.
Every step they took seemed to push my wife, Maud Hicks, further away from her own best interests and deeper into decisions that benefited everyone except her — and certainly not me, her husband.
A Court Order Ignored — Deliberately?
The court was crystal clear:
- Use Realtor Ms. Lucy from Orlando.
- Do NOT use any agent from Tampa.
- List the home between $470,000 and $475,000.
Yet somehow, despite those explicit instructions, Attorneys Randolph and Nelson went in the opposite direction. They hired a completely different agent — Milton K. James of Coldwell Banker Realty in Winter Park — and the home was listed for $425,000, a full $50,000 below the agreed range.
Why?
Who benefits from a $50,000 underpricing?
And why choose an agent with pages of criminal complaints and convictions listed in public court records?
These are not small questions. These are red flags the size of billboards.
The March 2025 Courtroom Twist
In March 2025, the judge dismissed the case partly because my wife and I were living together peacefully. The judge recognized that the real conflict came from outside agitators, not from inside our marriage.
But Attorney La‑Zondra Randolph wasn’t having it.
She told the judge that unless the case was reinstated, she would simply refile it.
The judge reinstated the case — and then, within 24 hours, Randolph abandoned her client, handed the case to an out‑of‑town attorney, and vanished from the battlefield she insisted on reopening.
Why force the case back to life only to walk away?
Why bring in Attorney John Robert‑Winfred Nelson — a man whose only job was to sell the house under court‑ordered conditions — and then leave him to it?
Nothing about this sequence makes sense unless there was a plan already in motion.
Attorney Nelson: Incompetent or Complicit?
Attorney Nelson had one job:
Sell the house according to the court’s instructions.
He knew:
- Ms. Lucy was the only authorized agent.
- The price range was fixed.
- Both spouses must sign listing documents.
Yet he hired Milton James — a man whose public record includes allegations of fraud, theft, and bank‑related crimes — and allowed him to list the home without proper authorization, without proper signatures, and at a price far below market value.
If Nelson didn’t know the rules, he was incompetent.
If he did know the rules and ignored them, then the situation is even worse.
Either way, the result was the same:
The court’s order was violated.
Coldwell Banker Realty’s Role: Negligence or Something Else?
Coldwell Banker Realty should know better.
When a married couple owns a home, both signatures are required for a legitimate listing.
I never signed anything.
My wife never saw a contract.
Yet the listing appeared anyway.
Coldwell Banker Realty should have flagged this immediately.
Instead, the listing went live — unauthorized, underpriced, and handled by an agent with a troubling history.
Who told Milton James to list the home?
My wife denies authorizing it.
She says her attorneys must have done it.
If that’s true, then the situation is even more disturbing.
The Influence of My Wife’s Daughter, D.J. Styles
Throughout this ordeal, one thing has been painfully obvious:
My wife is being pressured.
Her daughter, D.J. Styles, has been steering decisions, pushing narratives, and inserting herself into matters that should be between husband and wife.
Was my wife bullied into filing for divorce?
Was she pressured into hiring Attorney Randolph?
Was she manipulated into decisions that harmed her financially and emotionally?
From my perspective, the answer appears to be yes.
What I Want — and Why I’m Fighting
I am not trying to take anything from my wife.
I am trying to protect her — and protect our home from people who seem determined to tear it apart.
All I want is:
- To be given authority to sell the home properly and fairly, or
- To continue living peacefully with my wife without outside interference.
That’s it.
No schemes.
No manipulation.
Just fairness and peace — the very things that Attorneys Randolph and Nelson, Coldwell Banker Realty, and D.J. Styles seem determined to disrupt.
