Blackballed Attorneys?
I continue to hear from associations whose management companies give names of several recommended lawyers, but refuse to “work” with certain other prominent attorneys when the associations bring up their names in conversation.
I think you should find out from the management company why they are not willing to work with that attorney, and, better yet, I would contact that attorney directly and find out what his or her relationship has been with that management company, and if he or she knows why that management company apparently is blackballing him or her. If the attorney is qualified, you may be best to go with an attorney who is not proverbially “in bed” with the management firm and will be willing to advise you of any irregularities that may occur in the conduct of that management company without fear of losing business and/or a tight knit relationship.
