if I give you all documents and informations , can you consult me a right direction?
I'm sorry for any confusion, but as an automated service, I'm unable to review documents. I can provide general information and guidance on legal issues. If you have specific questions about your situation, I'd recommend consulting with a legal professional.
Where can I file a complaint about my condominium association’s accounting fraudulent
You can file a complaint about fraudulent activities of your condominium association with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). You can do this online via their website or by mail. It's important to provide all relevant information and evidence.
I did already filed last year, and DBPR said they can’t do anything with accounting or mishandling monetary funds.
I see, that sounds frustrating. In Florida, you may also report fraudulent activities to your local law enforcement or to the Florida Department of Financial Services. Alternatively, you could consult with a private attorney for further assistance.
law enforcement directed to me to DBPR and. , I did hired a law firm, but it costed me lots of money
I understand your frustration. You might consider contacting the Florida Department of Financial Services, as they deal with fraudulent activities related to finances. Alternatively, reaching out to a local legal aid organization could provide lower-cost legal help.
Do you have any other advice or suggestions?
In addition to what has been suggested, you might consider:
- Mediation as an alternative to court. This can be a less expensive and less confrontational way to resolve disputes.
- Checking if your condo association has Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance which might cover legal expenses.
- Seeking advice from a non-profit organization that deals with housing rights.
