Kathryn A. Formeller, Simone E. Haugen and Adriana M. Bosco Secure Favorable Jury Verdict for Condominium Board Members

Tressler attorneys Kathryn A. Formeller, Simone E. Haugen and Adriana M. Bosco successfully represented board members of a condominium association. Two years after closing, a unit owner of the condominium association filed suit against the board members for breach of fiduciary duty (on numerous issues including underfunded reserves) and violation of Section 22.1 of the Illinois Condominium Property Act.  After a four-day trial, the jury returned a very low, favorable verdict in favor of the board members.

Congratulations, Kat, Simone and Adriana!
