Westview Estates Homeowners Association

Westview Estates is a residential community comprising of 24 single family detached homes, located in South Seattle. Construction began in 2000, upon receipt by the developer of a three million dollar development loan by Washington First International Bank. Eventually, over the course of three years of construction, the loan was increased to slightly more than four million dollars. Despite the additional money, by 2004 it was clear the developer was unable to complete and sell more than 12 of the 24 homes. The developer defaulted on its Washington First International Bank loan in early 2004. Thereafter, the Bank took the property back from the original developer and created its own, wholly owned subsidiary, RE Property. The Bank created RE to complete the construction and sell the homes for a profit. However, in 2007 the City stopped the Bank and its subsidiary from attempting to sell any more of the homes. In 2007 City of Seattle building inspectors identified significant construction defects pertaining to the underground utilities, retaining walls and other aspects of the construction and, as a result, issued multiple Notices of Violation, with associated fines and penalties.

Somerset Park Condominium Association v. The Quadrant Corp. v. ET. al.

Somerset Park is a 134-unit condominium community located in Everett, Washington. Somerset was built between 1998 and 1999, and developed by The Quadrant Corporation.

Approximately five years after the project was completed, the Somerset Homeowners Association commissioned an envelope study. The inspection revealed numerous violations of the building code, architectural plans and construction industry standards. The defects included: improper roof installation; problems with the installation of the weather resistive barrier; improper foundation and concrete work; siding and window installation issues; and installation problems with the project’s gutters.

I want to pass Laura and my great appreciation to Casey and you all for your great work and dedication to our problem! You’ve really made a difference in our lives here!

Anita Thompson, Westview Estates HOA president

Even though you and Adil are pros, the board and plantiffs at Westview Estates sometimes felt as if we were engaged in a David versus Goliath battle against some very high-powered and well-financed players.

Carol Vipperman, President, Westlake View Condominium Association

Casey-Skoglund never gave up, they fought for us for five years. We filed a suit in 2004. Even though our lawsuit was thrown out of court two times over five years based on technicalities, Chris Casey never gave up or gave in.

Alice R. Gilbert, Treasurer, The Ballard Homeowners' Association

Ours was a difficult suit against the developer of our building, turned over to the homeowners' association in 2001. Throughout, Casey and Skoglund's firm worked closely with the Board, securing most of the funds needed to fix the building; and if our appeal is successful, we will have the rest. These guys don't give up!

John Richardson, Board Member Shadowhawk Condominiums

Adil, Thank you so much for your fine work and victory on behalf of my daughter, Sheila.

Lin, Bellagio Owners Association

Chris, I am sure I speak for all the homeowners who attended Saturday's BBQ, and the Board, in thanking you and Selena for such a lovely afternoon.

The burgers and hot dogs were delicious ..... you're a good Chef!!! thanks also for the dates on the building situation and answering questions.

John Richardson, Board Member Shadowhawk Condominiums

Board Member, Madrona Court Townhomes

"Just wanted to mention how Pam and I appreciated the masterful job you did cross-examining Tom Harader. You know, we were just listening to the testimony, like an old tyme, boring radio play while Tom and Bud talked on and on...

Erich Franz, President Somerset Park Condominiums

"The Board interviewed a variety of lawyers--from "by-the-book" to "non-main-stream." The former required contracts full of legalese and tens of thousands of dollars up-front, and even then, they st

"Chris - just thought you'd appreciate knowing you were a "hit" at our meeting on Saturday. After the meeting, several homeowners expressed how pleased they were we had found you. You were described a

Joan Baird, Yehle Park Homeowner

Chris and Staff:
Thanks for your legal support - best ever! We appreciated working with you.

The Best in 2007.

Lorraine MacKenzie, Palisade Park Homeowner

"Thanks for all the hard work on our behalf. You guys were awesome."

Brenda & Nakita Hanley, Palisade Park Homeowner

"Chris, My husband and I would like to thank you and the others for all your hard work on our behalf. Without your perseverance this would not have happened. Many of us bought this property under the assumption that we were making a financial investment. The majority of us are not investors that are aware of the laws, and we depend on the "professionals" such as contractors, builders, realtors and brokers to lead us in the right direction. Unfortunately there are those in the world that take advantage of people and their unforeseen misfortune.

Colleen Rettig, Palisade Park Homeowner

"Dear Chris, I simply want to reiterate our gratitude for all your hard work, and to congratulate you once again on this incredibly successful litigation, you are quite an attorney...you are the best..."

Dawn, Palisade Park Homeowner

Thanks Again... "

Thanks for your hard work! "

Margaret Kwan, Manager/Owner, 2nd Street LLC

"Your extensive experience with building construction and water infiltration problems gave us a lot of confidence throughout our litigation. Your advice and efforts enabled us to settle our claims most satisfactorily. You went the extra mile....

We are very pleased with the results and we would be happy to be quoted as your reference."

Donna Adams, Board President, Blueberry Place

"You took on our case when no one else would. You attended almost every Board and Homeowner meeting held over the course of 18 months without complaint. You guys are a blessing. Thank you for a wonderful result.

If anyone ever questions your abilities to 'get the job done', please have them call me! "

Gary Waldner, President Thompson Townhomes

"We selected Casey & Skoglund because of their aggressive approach to our problem. Little did we know that we had a PIT BULL for an attorney. Our problem was unique in that our developer did not have insurance. Chris found a way to get around this and once he got his teeth into the developer and sub's he did not let go. He obtained a satisfactory settlement in mediation in spite of the hurtle
