Robert Dryden Wilson-Hoss

The Board Members of Shadowood are responding to the review written by a VP of the board. He did not attend the meeting with the lawyer even though he knew about it and he could have been there. It was not a secret. Three SHA homeowners were there - 2 directors and one homeowner. SHA directors ar...e very satisfied with the outcome of the legal services provided by Robert Wilson-Hoss and we did not feel pressured to ask him to represent us. Here are the facts: In January we were sued by Homestreet Bank. Had they been successful, we would have lost all rights in perpetuity over the property. Mr. Wilson-Hoss's efforts were successful and we were dropped from the suit. The treasurer offered to pay the legal fee from personal funds but the Board chose to pay it by a vote of 4 yeses and 1 no (vote by VP). This complainant clearly states in a previous e-mail to homeoeners that what he writes are his opinions and unproven facts. Attorney Robert Wilson-Hoss did a great service for us and we unequivocally, highly and without reservations recommend him to others.

I am the VP of the Board of Shadowood Homeowners Association Shelton, WA, and as such am a client of Robert D. Wilson-Hoss (Shelton, WA - WSBA #8620) who provided a service to Shadowood. In a secret meeting with only the President and Treasurer, Wilson-Hoss pressured them into agreeing to pay fo...r a service that Shadowood in my opinion simply did not need. The President and Treasurer, who have no legal knowledge, were so convinced by his pressuring that they contracted for his services without prior Board approval. I have had a year of law school and recognized instantly that the service he said was so critical was simply not needed. I requested twice that Wilson-Hoss return his fee to Shadowood, but he refused. So the bottom line is that Wilson-Hoss (1) pressured unknowledgeable people to violate their duty to get Board approval for a purchase; and (2) charged us for something we did not need.
