Condo Association Foreclosure

Jessica Palombi Esq. has served as the attorney to the Henderson Creek Village Condo Association (HCVCA) in Naples FL since early 2014. She has expertly guided our Association through a most difficult time for us. HCV consists on only 20 units. One of these had failed to pay its assessments (~$3800/y...r) for several years. Our Board of Directors, which I served as President, began foreclosure proceedings in 2013. The two owners of this unit then began a long series of harassing and delaying maneuvers. They first agreed to pay their debt but soon renege, threatening our attorney at the time with disbarment The attorney quit representing us (they sued her anyway). When Ms. Palombi took over, she quickly moved to complete foreclosure. However, the owners each declared bankruptcy, delaying the process another six months until their claims were dismissed. The owners, who had by then moved out, next filed suit with the Florida Dept. of Human Relations, claiming racial discrimination in housing. Their charges were subsequently dismissed as groundless. In early 2015, the mortgage lender foreclosed, a long process. Ms. Palombi communicated regularly with the lender to get HCVCA the maximum payment from them. Through all this, Jessica made numerous court appearances on our behalf, keeping us updated. She offered great counsel based on her expertise in foreclosure proceedings. Ms. Palombi also prepared legal opinions at the request of our BOD on other Condo issues. These opinions were well reasoned, researched, and written. In summary, HCVCA has been most pleased with Jessica's work on our behalf. She is very knowledgeable regarding the legal issues that can confront HOAs in Florida. I commend her to you without reservation.

comforting legal skills

Jessica's legal skills were comforting. I was impressed on how well researched she was about the problem I was facing with a HOA trying to make unjustified fines on our house. She knew the storyline of pages of information like it was her own and it was obvious in our hearing that she truly believe...d that injustice was at hand with the HOA board of directors. She is sharp, articulate, and exercises integrity in her approach. Jessica proves that lawyers don't have to be dry and boring and she brings a youthful excitement into the arena that commands respect. - Richard K, Ph.D.

Helped with harrassment from our Homeowners Association

Everyone has heard of them - the dreaded "condo cop" that seems driven by anger and drama. When we became the target of such behavior and were threatened with $4000.00 in fines from our Homeowners Association, we needed professional help. My husband found Jessica Palombi, and was impressed with her... knowledge about Association Law. After reviewing the details of our case, she created an awesome overview/outline of points that could be used as a handout when we attended the hearing in front of the associations fining committee. Jessica arrived in a timely manner, presented herself professionally, and did an awesome job representing us. Due to her knowledge base, and skills in representing us, all fines were dropped. Thank you Jessica !!

Excellent Legal Service

I was referred to Jessica after having problems with another attorney handling a foreclosure case. From my first meeting with Atty. Palombi, I found her knowledgeable and responsive. She was able to explain the law, what was going to happen and what she could do to protect my associations financial ...interest. Jessica has been successful in collecting money that was due and providing the legal guidance we have needed. Atty. Palombi is available when I call with questions , provides the info I need and keeps me informed. I would highly recommend Atty Palombi and have referred her to other associations that had foreclosure cases.
