Legal Action / Diamond Resorts (by KC):
I will offer a slightly different "take" on the advice provided directly above.
Rather than attempt to reinvent the wheel, starting from square one, entirely on your own --- at considerable personal expense with dubious chances for success --- I would instead suggest reading through this entire thread VERY thoroughly to first see if you can perhaps identify and then get on board with organized others who may have already initiated and pursued some legal action and efforts. DRI is a big, deep pockets corporation; no individual is going to exert any sway or influence with DRI by acting alone. There is strength in numbers, so why be a lone "Don Quixote", ineffectively "tilting at windmills"? Just my own thoughts. In the end, it is of course your decision, your time --- and your money.
If you are still bound and determined to forge ahead and hire your own attorney, Mike Finn (Finn Law Group) in Largo, FL knows the timeshare industry inside out. He is no fan of sleazy industry practices and has written extensively regarding their deceitful operations. I'm not endorsing Mr. Finn nor advertising for him nor encouraging you to hire ANY attorney, but I've met Mike Finn and he certainly knows his stuff regarding the timeshare industry. If you hire ANY attorney, at least make sure it's someone who doesn't need to be educated from "square one" regarding the timeshare industry and its' sleazy practices. You certainly don't need or want to be paying "billable hours" just for an attorney to educate themselves enough (on your dime) to THEN be able to initiate action on your behalf, that's all I'm saying.
