Lakeview Estates Property Owners Association WINS Lawsuit
Since many of you are aware of the small claims lawsuit that your board of directors filed in Baldwin County District Court against Cindy Woodson Gray and West Beach Realty (former property management company), we wanted to make you aware that we won our claim this week when the case was tried. Our association was awarded the full amount of $1,673.08 plus court costs by Judge Bishop who heard the case. These funds represented various accounting discrepancies which Ms. Gray was unwilling to explain until forced to do so in court. While your board regrets having to take this action, we could not just write off this loss without trying to recover at least some portion of it and felt a responsibility to all of our homeowners to seek reimbursement. The judgment is subject to a 14 day appeal period and we expect that appeal to be filed. We, however, strongly feel that this judgment will be upheld and we will hopefully receive full payment from the defendant in the near future.
