Attorneys advised settlement or find other representation
I retained Perez Mayoral, P.A. to represent me in litigation against my HOA.
During the representation, I was advised that if I wanted to challenge the HOA's expert opinions, I would need to develop my own causation evidence and retain additional experts. Based on that advice, I spent thousands of dollars on testing and expert development, including ground-penetrating radar and engineering review.
I have attached the firm's written communication advising me to pursue causation-related investigation.
After I began that process and reported findings that I believed contradicted the HOA's engineering conclusions, I was advised that the firm no longer wished to pursue additional causation development or discovery and believed the case should be settled.
I disagreed because I had already incurred significant expense, additional reports were still pending, and the testing had identified potential water intrusion in locations different from those identified by the HOA's engineer. I wanted the investigation completed before making any final decision regarding settlement.
Shortly thereafter, the firm sought to withdraw from my case.
As a disabled client, I also requested accommodations before the meeting where these issues were discussed, including permission to have a support person present and a written summary of the meeting. Those requests were not granted, and I never received the written summary I was told would be provided.
I am sharing my experience so that prospective clients can make informed decisions. I would also be interested in hearing from other clients, particularly disabled clients, who experienced disputes regarding discovery, expert development, settlement recommendations, accommodations, or withdrawal from representation.
