Transition of Leading Community Association Attorneys to Association Law Group
In a pivotal shift within Florida's community association legal sector, esteemed attorneys Michael C. Gongora, Lilliana Farinas-Sabogal, and Adam Cervera have departed from Becker Poliakoff to join Association Law Group (ALG). This strategic move underscores a significant evolution in legal representation for community associations and signals a promising future under the guidance of ALG's founder, Ben Solomon.
Michael C. Gongora and Lilliana Farinas-Sabogal are both noted for their certifications from the Florida Bar in Condominium and Planned Development Law, establishing their prominence in the field. Their extensive experience, combined with Adam Cervera's insights into community governance and litigation, positions ALG as a powerhouse in community association law.
The trio brings decades of combined experience, having represented numerous condominium associations, homeowners associations, and cooperatives across Florida. Their expertise has been instrumental in developing the governance structures, litigation strategies, and compliance mechanisms that are essential in the ever-evolving legal landscape of community associations.
Michael Gongora articulated the shared vision among the team, saying, “Our move to Association Law Group reflects a mutual commitment to redefine the future of association law practice. ALG offers a client-centric atmosphere that allows us to provide unparalleled service while innovating how associations are represented.”
Adam Cervera echoed similar sentiments, recognizing ALG’s commitment to responsiveness and practical solutions that align with their values. Lilliana Farinas-Sabogal remarked on the transformative potential of joining ALG, expressing enthusiasm about building something impactful for their clients throughout the state.
With backgrounds in local government—Gongora served as vice mayor and a commissioner for Miami Beach, while Cervera is a member of the Broward County School Board—both attorneys add valuable insights from their governmental experiences to their practice at ALG.
Established two decades ago, Association Law Group has garnered a reputation for fierce representation of community associations in Florida, emerging as a direct competitor to larger firms like Becker. Their commitment to aggressive advocacy, modern approaches, and innovative practices has allowed them to attract top-tier talent like Gongora, Farinas-Sabogal, and Cervera.
Ben Solomon, the managing partner of ALG, welcomed the new attorneys, stating, “Michael, Lilliana, and Adam are elite attorneys and respected leaders in our field. Their decision to join us speaks volumes about our mission to redefine association law. We are proud to welcome them and the many associations choosing to advance with us.”
Association Law Group exclusively specializes in representing community associations, offering services including notices preparation, contractual agreements, amendment drafting, regulatory compliance, meeting management, enforcement of infractions, collections, and litigation. With over 250 years of combined legal experience and a team of more than 15 lawyers, ALG continues to deliver positive outcomes for its clients at a cost-effective rate.
