Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Gail J.):

The lawyer has staff to pay, his time, his bills, his office rental, etc. - he cannot do this for free. I am presently suing a NYC brokerage company who cost me around $80,000 due to unauthorized trades. I hired a law firm and this matter has not even gotten into court and I have already shelled out $46,000 in legal fees - in legal fees. This is a job for the attorney - he is not going to do it for free - he'd be out of business pronto if he did. So , each has to make a decision - do you want to take a chance with this attorney, or find your own attorney, or continue whining and pondering how you got yourself in this atrocious predicament.while you do nothing. I'm confused too - I think we need to ask attorney Zimmerman how many owners have to participate before he will proceed any further. And, I think many of us do not want to send him upfront money which is used in preparing for litigation only to find that so few have signed up, that attorney Zimmerman says he's sorry but he will not be able to continue with our litigation and thus we forfeit the money we have sent in to him. Any ideas? Also, does anyone know whether the stipulations about the TMC Board, how they are elected, the terms, etc. are spelled out - is it in the master deed or in the By Laws - it is possible to vote on amending those sections so that we as owners take control. Can someone research this?
