A Lifeline for Our HOA's Complex Legal Dispute

Our Bonita Springs homeowners' association was facing a daunting, multi-faceted legal challenge involving a significant property damage claim from a hurricane, coupled with a contentious dispute with a contractor. We needed an attorney with a broad yet deep understanding of several interconnected areas. Barbara Ballard Woodcock was precisely that. Her general practice expertise, honed over 14 years, was invaluable. She seamlessly navigated the first-party property insurance complexities for the association's clubhouse damage while simultaneously managing the contractor negligence issue. Her recognized focus in community association law meant she understood our governing documents and fiduciary duties implicitly, which was critical in guiding our board. Barbara’s strategy was meticulous; she explained every step with clarity, never resorting to confusing legalese. Her professionalism in negotiations was firm yet pragmatic, ultimately securing a settlement that far exceeded our expectations and allowed for full repairs without a special assessment. Choosing an attorney from Cole, Scott & Kissane’s local office was the right decision, and Barbara’s dedication was evident from our first consultation. She didn't just handle a case; she provided stability and expert counsel during a very stressful period for our community. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
