Condo Q&A

Non-english speaking condo board hires lawyer to do the talking

In Florida, can the condo association attorney conduct and control a condo meeting in its entirety? My Condo Association board contains 6 out of 7 members that do not speak English. They recently hired a condo attorney who does all the talking on their behalf. Is this legal? On a side note, they were never elected as the board. The building lost interest in the Association and they jumped on to take advantage of the opportunity. The Owners are now trying to regain control of the matter but the BOD hired the new attorney to frustrate the Owners and their recall attempt.
