Three Leading Attorneys Transition to Association Law Group

In a monumental move that shakes up the community association legal landscape in Florida, three renowned attorneys from Becker & Poliakoff—Michael C. Gongora, Lilliana Farinas-Sabogal, and Adam Cervera—have left the firm to join the Association Law Group (ALG). This transition not only highlights the evolving nature of legal representation for condominiums and homeowners associations but also reinforces ALG's position as a leading player in the sector.

A New Chapter for the Trio

The attorneys are celebrated in Florida’s legal community for their extensive experience and commitment to the representation of condominium, homeowner, and cooperative associations. Their contributions over the years have been instrumental in shaping governance, litigation strategies, and compliance with regulatory frameworks governing associations. Both Gongora and Farinas-Sabogal boast certifications from the Florida Bar in Condominium and Planned Development Law, marking them as leaders in this niche.

Michael Gongora, in particular, brings a wealth of local government experience, having served as Miami Beach’s Vice Mayor and Commissioner. Adam Cervera, on the other hand, has been a member of the Broward County School Board, lending an additional layer of governmental insight to the firm's capabilities.

Strengthening ALG's Offerings

The addition of these distinguished attorneys to ALG significantly elevates the firm's general counsel, litigation, and advisory services aimed at community associations. This move is expected to attract a myriad of new clients who seek expertise in navigating the complex legal landscape of community governance.

“This decision reflects our shared vision for the future of the association law practice,” Michael Gongora explained. He emphasized that Association Law Group provides an ideal platform and culture that prioritizes client needs, allowing them to innovate in how associations are represented. This sentiment was echoed by Adam Cervera, who noted ALG’s commitment to delivering practical solutions aligns perfectly with their values.

Lilliana Farinas-Sabogal also stated, “Joining ALG signifies a transformative opportunity for us to enhance the services we can offer to our association clients statewide. The positive momentum behind ALG is extraordinary.”

ALG's Established Reputation

Founded by Ben Solomon, ALG has gained a strong reputation in the community association law sphere over the past two decades. Known for its forward-thinking and robust advocacy strategies, ALG has become a formidable competitor to more established firms like Becker & Poliakoff. Its ability to attract top-tier talent like Gongora, Farinas-Sabogal, and Cervera is a testament to its commitment to excellence in legal representation.

“Michael, Lilliana, and Adam are elite attorneys and respected leaders in our field,” stated Ben Solomon. “Their joining ALG not only reinforces our mission but also enhances our commitment to redefining the practice of association law.”
