"STAYING" THE DEVIL

AHRC (the American Homeowners Resource Center) lives! And it lives unencumbered by the Devil's shackles!

Peters & Freedman, a California law firm that is NOT on the side of HOA homeowners, tried to take over AHRC (owned by Elizabeth McMahon for the last 18 years) through what appears to have been two bogus legal claims (lawsuits), ie, the violation of Mrs. McMahon's Constitutional freedom on speech rights, and that AHRC, through its writers, had "defamed" others in their postings / writings on AHRC.

Peters & Freedman lost in their attempt to do that (see article below).

Peters & Freedman lawyers did what CAI (Community Associations Institute) lawyers all over this nation -- including Colorado (whose major CAI branch offices in Colorado are in Denver) -- have been doing for quite some time to homeowners. That is, file what appears to be meritless lawsuits against homeowners to (or so it certainly appears) run the homeowners out of money as they try to defend themselves against those bogus lawsuits -- often in District courts whose judges appear to be acting in concert with such devil's-children lawyers. The CAI's improper and destructive-to-homeowners strategy being that when they succeed in ruining a homeowner financially, the homeowner becomes absolutely defenseless. At that point, CAI lawyers can (and regularly do) foreclose on the homeowner's home and then "take" the homeowner for every cent the homeowner has worked hard for all of his or her life.

However, since AHRC is the national voice of We The People homeowners, this time We the People all over this nation spoke out in one loud and clear voice against such (we believe) improper attorney behaviors. And this time, this particular California Appeals Court listened -- at least for the moment.

Chalk up a big win for HOA homeowners nationwide on this one!
