Following is an example of one case that we have handled:
Meister Successfully Asserts Claims against Condominium Developer On Behalf of His Client, a Condominium Association
Mr. Meister's extensive experience in condominium law recently came in handy when our client, a condominium association sought to enforce its rights against the developer of a condominium building. The developer failed to pay a number of bills that it was required to pay, failed to obtain proper permits for the condominium building and failed to make warranty repairs after receiving requests from the condominium association and various unit owners. Based upon Mr. Meister's work, our client was able to recover all amounts owed by the developer, together with all warranty work.
