Subject: thank you!
Just wanted to write you a quick note to thank you for your assistance with our owners group at Lakeview. When we approached you, we were very concerned about our current board of directors, and their attempts to sit a new board without allowing fair owner participation in the nomination process. With your help, we were able to petition for a special meeting, and gather enough support from other owners at our complex to seat a new board. We are confident that this new board will address our concerns about the lack of transparency the outgoing board had in handling our affairs. Again, thanks for all your valuable advice and guidance along with difficult process. We could not have accomplished this without your help.

Subject: Your client---
Good morning Sandy,
I want to thank you for the fair and professional service, which is your trademark reputation. After years in the business, these Sellers will probably be my last sale. It was a wonderful surprise that Mr. Roberts was the attorney for the buyer who had worked with us before.
It was also remarkable that your client, the Buyer, was going to purchase the abutting lot as well.
While we had both buyer and seller for each transaction,
The property is certainly a historic seacoast landmark and I believe the sales price was fair to all parties. As usual if all is fair to all parties, the sale proceeds.
I am hopeful that after the big holiday coming up, both you and your wife may join us at the beach at our bath-house on a nice day for lobster rolls or another menu! I have limited mobility as you know, but I am practicing for that visit as we never made it to lunch.
Again, thank you for your usual expert professional expertise in a unique seacoast sale. I have always valued your commitment in making people work together not against each other.
With best regards,
JS

Dear Sandy-
Please accept the following letter of recommendation....so sorry for the delay.
We both recognize and applaud Attorney Robert's expertise in all areas relating to Condominium Association law issues. His vast professional background representing a host of clients in a variety of condo issues, prompted us to engage his services.
We view him as a champion of the individual rights of condominium owners. He was particularly invaluable to us as new owners. Rather than accepting a proposed slate of officers, Attorney Robert's representation was essential in effecting a legitimate voting procedure, resulting in the free electiion of our first Condo Association Board.
We are truly grateful for his involvement and assurance of this democratic process.
Sincerely,
R & ME

Sandy,
Thank you again for bringing the recent collection process to a positive
conclusion for the Association. It was a long process, but the end result
was the Association received all the money it was due. You have always been fair to the Association.
Looking back over the past few years, you have helped us through a major
capital improvement project, bylaw amendment, an ADA issue, and some unique
legal challenges.
Thank you for your perseverance and professional approach in all of your
dealings on behalf of the Association.
As the Association’s legal liaison, I enjoy working with you. Please feel free to use me as a referral at any time.

Thank you for providing us a better understanding of our options yesterday.
You are 100% "as advertised". You are indeed a problem solver. I was
professionally impressed with the expeditious manner in which you were able
to provide us with real possibilities and answers. I think I can speak for
both PG and I when I say I'm grateful for your willingness to provide a
professional opinion letter and stand before our group of homeowners as a
board advocate. We'll look for your engagement letter in the coming days.

Subject: FW: Fannie Mae - Unit 1 issues - SP Condominium
Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2010 12:58:09 -0400
Board,
See e-mail from Attorney for Fannie Mae that I received yesterday. We have a deal and given the circumstances, I believe it is fair since the cost to fight about it would ultimately result in less money for the Association and the outcome before a judge is always uncertain.
I would like confirmation that you have the funds to resolve this matter. I will then find out who you make the check out to and then I need a release as well as a discharge of the mortgage. If I don’t get the discharge I won’t lose sleep over it but I think it would be helpful to have on record.

Subject: RE:
I’ve known Sanford Roberts for more than 20 years and have found him to be an extremely skilled and intelligent legal counsel. I first met him many years ago when I was president of a board who hired him as legal counsel to our condo in Portsmouth. Subsequently and years later, I had the good fortune to secure him again as legal counsel to the condo to which I moved in Maine and to which I was president. Sandy has always been an extremely well informed and expert resource for the many legal problems we encountered at both the condominiums in which I resided. He is also a skilled negotiator and excellent trial lawyer. I also rely on him for personal legal advice.

Subject: reference
Att Sanford Roberts has been providing legal representation for our Association for about 5 years; providing advice for dealing with owners and condominium documents in accordance with condo law and regulations. We have been very satisfied with his representation and have a high level of confidence in his performance.
We have also been involved in litigation, both as plaintiff and defendant. Sandy has provided representation for our Association that has protected our interests and financial integrity during these difficult times. We were always able to have frank discussions about legalities, probabilities and options. When the case for negotiation was evident, Sandy was able to pursue this course of action with openness, toughness and arrival at settlement. thereby keeping us out of court, reducing legal expenses, and providing desired outcomes.
Without hesitation, we would recommend Att Roberts to other Associations.

Subject: AI v Association
All,
The adjuster called to tell me that the lawyer for AI needed the OK from me to negotiate with her which I provided. I confirmed with her that regardless of the amount of the settlement, the Association’s only liability was the $500.00 deductible. She called me back to say they have agreed to take $6,500.00 and the lawyers will prepare the settlement documents.
So, it would appear that this matter is over. She previously told me that the company will pay my fees.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: Sanford Roberts
Mr. LG,
My name is A. A. I am an attorney licensed in Massachusetts and I am also a [condo] unit owner at F V. I was asked by the board to aid in the legal issues the association is faced with. Since I am an attorney, I was asked to help the board communicate with Attorney Roberts and help the board understand and interpret arguments, legal jargon and other documents associated with our ongoing legal issues.
It is my opinion, as an attorney, that Attorney Roberts is doing an excellent job representing the Association. At times, in general, clients don't understand legal procedure and the way we do things, and can't fully appreciate our efforts. I thought it was important that you knew my opinion of Sandy, because the good work of attorneys is not often expressed. I know that Sandy has a tough job dealing with so many individuals in this case and I know it can be frustrating at times, so I would like to commend him for his patience and diligence.

Dear AA:
As I sit on vacation in Las Vegas dealing with the day-to-day trial and tribulations of running a business with nearly 100 employees, and thousands of providers, it is wonderful to hear something so positive about one of them.
I have been associated with Sandy for nearly fifteen years, and have always found him to be a zealous advocate for any of our clients who retain him. He always advises on what is in the best interest of the client, as opposed to what racks up the most amount of legal fees for him. He has kept many clients out of trouble by telling them like it is, including me from time-to-time. As an attorney your confirmation further solidify's what I too have seen.
Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to communicate it with me. You made my day!
