Under the Condominium Association Act, when a Homeowner (or Condo owner) fails to pay their association dues, the association can not only evict them from their home, but also take up ownership of the ... home. Thus, they charge huge late and interest fees because the client must pay. However, after several court dates in Kendall County, I was able negotiate a that my client pay close to the amount actually owed, instead of the thousands that they were claiming, and of course, she could still own her home.
Meki Braken & Diana Lin v. Chak Man Fung et. al.
Dec 05, 2007OUTCOME: $75000 verdict,$11000 fine & $25000 in fees +
Our clients were awarded $75,000.00--the highest verdict in the history of the John Marshall Law School Fair Housing Legal Clinic in a racial discrimination case, where I was employed at the time as a ... Supreme Court Rule 711 Student/Practitioner. Two other Rule 711 student/practitioners, BRIAN BERLIN, and GENEVIEVE A HUGHES, under the supervision of attorney Damian Ortiz, also participated in final preparation and trial the case which had been ongoing since 2004 and involved the work of over ten of the Clinic's 711 students over the years. An additional $99,000 is currently being sought for attorney's fees costs. Description of Case: Defendant's unlawfully refused to rent to Defendant because of her race in Violation of the Fair Housing Act. Additionally defendants retaliated against co-Plaintiff who attempted to sublet the apartment to Plaintiff in defiance of the landlords orders because the landlords orders were unlawfully and for the purpose of discrimination. At trial we were able to prove that between the two Plaintiffs, Defendant's were liable in the amount of $75,000.00 dollars in damages for emotional distress, humiliation, embarrassment, inconvenience, out of pocket losses. Co-Plaintiff was awarded $25,000.00 dollars because, although she was not discriminated against, she suffered emotional distress, inconvenience, and out of pocket losses as a result of her standing up to property managers on behalf of the Plaintiff's civil rights and management's subsequent retaliatory actions against her. Plaintiff's were also awarded injunctive relief which prohibits Defendant's from violating the Fair Housing Act in the Future.
Sofia Mietus v Fahkreha Saleh
Oct 11, 2007OUTCOME: Our Client won/eviction vacted
The Defendant's were a family of Arabian descent living in an apartment, and the landlord who had purchased the building alledly began making several racist remarks about their heritage, and frequently ... complained about the amount of children they had. Eventually Defendants, without an attorney, complained to the Illinois Department of Human Rights about their treatment. When the landlord found out about the complaint, she allegedly retaliated by unfairly raising their rent, and also made it difficult for them to physically pay the rent to her. In other words she made herself unavailable, in our opinion. This allegedly formed the Plaintiff's pretext to file an eviction proceedings against the family. When the mother of the family showed up to court, without an attorney, to make her case, the judge ordered that her family was to be evicted from their home before the end of the month. That same day I was contacted by the mother of the family, who was of course very worried. I was able to file amotion to reconsider with the court, based on the fact that the Plaintiff had accepted partial payment of the rent after filing the suit (thereby re-instating the families month to month lease), and alleging the affirmative defense of retaliation in violation of the Fair Hosuing Act, and the Illinois Human Rights Act, as the eviction suit was filed soon after the landlord had recieved notice of the families discrimination compliants. The court vacated the order of eviction, and later the suit was dismissed with prejudice. The family was not evicted from their home, and is currently suing the landlord for violation of th Illinois Human Rights Act.
