We had a rather large construction defect (two retaining walls) with our newly built home that affected the whole 48 unit development. The builder was a national publicly traded company (ticker symbol: LNNR) Fortune 500 Company who refused to cooperate (or even communicate) with the Condominium Owners Association to resolve the issue. We enlisted the help of Flanagan-Strauss and were able to settle out of court (after much negotiation) for approximately the amount needed for the remediation. I don’t think it would’ve ever happened if we hadn’t retained this firm.

To whom it may concern: In 2010 after taking control of the homeowners’ association from the developer, we had a building inspection that revealed significant defects in workmanship and and materials. From discussions with members of other homeowners’ associations, reading guidance articles in homeowners’ association publications, and talking with the inspecting engineer, we know we were going to have to seek out expert legal advice on how to best proceed to insure all defects got corrected. In looking for legal experts dealing with condominium defect claims we talked with those most highly recommend and interviewed them. In a meeting with our board of directors Leonard Flanagan presented the board with the path this process would most likely take, the options that would be presented to us during this period, and a very realistic assessment of the likely results. He was retained shortly after this meeting based on our perception of the quality approach he had laid out. During his investigative work for us he was able to determine there were six insurance companies that might be involved in liability rather than just the one that the developer had told us to contact. His investigative team also found significant structural defects that were not know to us and not uncovered in the previous inspections. For the past five years, Leonard has successfully guided us through settlement discussions with some insurance companies, mediation negotiations with others and a jury trial with a third. Throughout this activity, he has always kept the board fully informed of our options and expectations, while we were making decisions on how to best proceed. His preparations both for negotiations and trial have been exemplary and we the homeowners’ have benefited from his thoroughness and dedication to detail. We, as a board, would highly recommend Leonard Flanagan to anyone seeking expert legal counsel on condominium defect issues, or any of his other specialties.

To whom it may concern: In 2010 after taking control of the homeowners’ association from the developer, we had a building inspection that revealed significant defects in workmanship and and materials. From discussions with members of other homeowners’ associations, reading guidance articles in homeowners’ association publications, and talking with the inspecting engineer, we know we were going to have to seek out expert legal advice on how to best proceed to insure all defects got corrected. In looking for legal experts dealing with condominium defect claims we talked with those most highly recommend and interviewed them. In a meeting with our board of directors Leonard Flanagan presented the board with the path this process would most likely take, the options that would be presented to us during this period, and a very realistic assessment of the likely results. He was retained shortly after this meeting based on our perception of the quality approach he had laid out. During his investigative work for us he was able to determine there were six insurance companies that might be involved in liability rather than just the one that the developer had told us to contact. His investigative team also found significant structural defects that were not know to us and not uncovered in the previous inspections. For the past five years, Leonard has successfully guided us through settlement discussions with some insurance companies, mediation negotiations with others and a jury trial with a third. Throughout this activity, he has always kept the board fully informed of our options and expectations, while we were making decisions on how to best proceed. His preparations both for negotiations and trial have been exemplary and we the homeowners’ have benefited from his thoroughness and dedication to detail. We, as a board, would highly recommend Leonard Flanagan to anyone seeking expert legal counsel on condominium defect issues, or any of his other specialties.
