YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE
TRUTH………..
By
Eric Glazer, Esq.
Published May 17, 2016
Over the years, our firm and I’m sure many
other law firms that represent community associations have been
fired or simply not hired for telling it like it is and giving
answers or instructions to Boards that they simply may not want
to hear. Even with all of the education now available, it still
amazes me that I am sometimes told things like “But I’m the
President, I can do whatever I want” or “But the Board makes the
laws around here not the owners.” There are still people out
there who just don’t get it.
I think it’s pretty dangerous for the Board’s
attorney to simply be a YES man to the Board, standing by and
approving Board action no matter what, dam the consequences. But
to all you Board members out there……………….. what kind of attorney
do you want? Do you want an attorney who will back the Board
100% of the time or an attorney whose job he or she believes is
to keep you out of trouble?
