I wish I could give Lima and her firm NO star, as she really mireprented me in purchasing my condo. She was suggested to me through a real estate agent and I trusted that suggestion. However, when it came to reviewing the condo documents, she did not do anything for me. There was a huge issue with parking situation, evident from the condo plan, and I raised my concern about it. But her answer was that she has seen a lot of these cases and by just talking to the neighbor it will be resolved down the road. Now more than a year passes and I had to take another lawyer to file a litigation against the owner of the other unit as my concerns became actually a real legal issue (the other unit owner parked his car ever Day right in front of my garage door). Lima also did not even advised me that the condo by-law is written in such a way that even me after buying a condo, has NO say over how the HOA board is run and how the HOA money is spent (in a 2 unit condo). In Massachusetts, when you buy a condo in a 2 unit condo, you automatically become a part of the board.. but this condo's by-law was written in such a way that the owner of the other unit had to vote to put me on the board... and of course they didn't because they wanted to have a full power. Basically what I became after buying the condo was a tenant for the other unit owner and a piggy bank for the HOA that the other unit owner could spent on anything he wanted. That caused me to spend over $5k on legal fees and 1 year of stress to finally resolve that (and of course the other unit owner was illegally controlling the board and the HOA). Lima and her firm did not even raise any concern over the HOA board situation while I was purchasing the condo. I am also seriously considering filing a complaint against her to the Massachusetts state bar association. Just stay away from her firm and you will save yourself a lot of headache and money.
