Excellent lawyer

Paul Urey worked extremely hard on our case and won our case. He would be the first lawyer we would call if we needed another one.

Premier Point HOA Board Representation

The Premier Point HOA Board in Solomons Maryland was exceptionally well represented by Paul Urey during a years long issue with a community property owner. The issue at hand was an owner (one of six) that decided to sue the HOA and the Board members as well as the community builder, because they... "didn't have enough water at their dock slip...." They sued for over 10 Million with their actual property value of less than $450,000! Paul was provided by State Farm our insurer and helped us through each step of the process - from an unsuccessful attempt at negotiation through arbitration (the failure the stubbornness of the party suing...) and getting to what would have been a trial that we were more than ready for. He ably and professionally assessed the factors that arose as a part of the suit that would have made for an exceptional movie on how not to sue an HOA - nor who to have in a courtroom as a part of your representation. He worked through professional (ethical) errors on the part of the other attorney, to the final resolution that ensured the HOA and the Board were not financially saddled nor encumbered by future issues that might have affect our property values. Paul helped and was involved with our case through every step and we felt that he was a genuine and critical key element in the effort. Paul worked with the other legal representatives for the other defendants and ensured they were fully informed of our Board actions (and we had thorough documentation for every issue) and how it affected their defendants representation. Towards the end, he also represented related factors to the Judge for the case and then to the new legal representation for the HOA member suing.... That communication helped to get us to an equitable ending. Though this summary is short - it should clearly state that we had full confidence in Paul's representation and the outcome of the case and would change nothing.

THANKFUL

Paul represented our small business via our insurance company. He helped calm our fears, as this was our first experience within the legal system. He helped us navigate the process smoothly, and handled our case with the utmost professionalism. We are very thankful for everything that Paul did for us...!
