Huge Condo Deposits – Are They Safe?
Andrew C. Hall, Managing Partner at Hall, Lamb and Hall, P.A., has tried cases arising from some of the nation’s most significant historical events. From the Watergate trials and the Ohio savings and loan crisis to the 2000 terrorist attack on the USS Cole and the Marriott bombing in Islamabad, Mr. Hall’s trial skills are recognized as among the top echelon of litigators in the nation.
Mr. Hall’s casework has involved complex commercial litigation, professional negligence, securities litigation and arbitration, family law, personal injury and wrongful death. His tenacity in the courtroom is in large part a product of his past. Born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1944 while his Jewish parents hid from Nazi occupiers, Mr. Hall is tireless in his pursuit for justice and a desire to stand up against oppression and abuse of power. Within the legal profession, Mr. Hall is involved in The Florida Bar, the American Judicature Society, the Florida Justice Association, and the American Association for Justice.
He has a strong opinion on the merits and shortfalls of the current condo deposit method for financing the development of new projects. We will discuss his insights and the potential impacts on the condo business in Miami.
