Alicia Regina Seward

When an attorney who professes to be an expert in HOA Condo law, the expectation is just this. Expert advice. I paid $300 for a 20 minute consult. The issue I wanted to address was the Florida Clean Air Act, smoking in common areas. Alicia had no idea whether HOA's are exempt from state and local la...ws. Not a great experience.

We are out $15,000 unjustly due to her mistakes in court where she was unprepared, admonished by the judge and filed the wrong initial complaint and then we had to pay the defendants legal fees because of all of this!!!!!Our case should have been contingency but she took our money and after being the... victims to our home completely destroyed in a water loss, she took advantage of us and left us in a very bad position, worse than where we started. Do not give her a dime!!! Her mistakes unfairly cost us more $$$$!!!

We were impress during the initial consultation therefore we hired Ms Seward to deal with a non disclosure issue. We paid the retainer, April 30, provided her with all our documentation, and she was going to do some discovery work (request board meeting minutes). Despite two emails from us, 3 months ...went by with not one communication. She actually was snippy with us when we finally spoke to her. At which time we asked her to send a demand letter as she assured us we were in the right on the disclosure. She promised the letter would go out in a week. That was Mid July. No letter, early September we began sending emails demanding a status, the assistant replied "its on her to do list". Again mid September we then demanded the letter be send by month end. The last week in September we called daily, left message and wrote emails, no one reached out. I called from blocked number and the assistant promised someone would call me by Wednesday SEPTEMBER 25. We finally send an email firing her on that Thursday September 26. Funny thing she actually replied in two hrs and the next day tried to say we had agreed on month end. We got nothing from her, she blamed her staff and us, the client, for her lack of communication and professionalism. DO NOT HIRE MS SEWARD FOR ANYTHING. She should be reprimanded by her peers for her lack of professionalism.

We couldn't be grateful enough to the Seward law office.They were able to help us in our time of great need and frustration.Alicia helped us to procure information in a timely manner from difficult tenants and has been very knowledgeable in her field. And has been working our case against a predatory... PM office we hired. Thank you Seward Law Group.
