HOA's correspondence with attorney
This may seem like a stupid question so forgive me in advance. We inherited a managment company when our last was bought out. We have now been fully "captured" within this managment company. We currently have an inexperience board. I don't believe any board member has ever met or corresponded directly with our HOA attourney. They are a partner of the managment company (also hosts their parties and training hello conflict). Almost everything goes through our manager (idiot) including legal. If there's a question it goes to her and from her to attourney then filters back that way with an answer. I'm sure that most of the things they "send to legal" they believe a lawyer is looking at but just administrative tasks the manager (or one of their numerous depts) do. We get billed extra for that by the way but beside the point. Basically my question is....is that normal procedure or another part of the capture? I'm thinking the later but would like to know from any board or former board members what your experience was regarding those interactions. Thanks in advance!
