Several attorneys from our office recently attended the CAI’s Annual Law Seminar in San Antonio, Texas.

The presentation focused on the financial challenges this presents for community associations when the claims asserted against the association (or its agents) are without merit. We heard stories of unit owners who unnecessarily filed motion after motion (one even filed as many as over 100) and who take every measure to drag out a lawsuit, only to cause the attorney’s fees to skyrocket. We know many of you have experienced this, too.
