Hm. So I just read Roger Smith's comments here. Be warned! They are defamatory. By which I mean they appear to be scandalously untrue and I wouldn't blame Michelle if she sued him over them. In my experience (as a more senior practitioner in this field), Michelle's knowledge of condominium law is highly competent. The disagreement of some unit owners over proposed by-laws (generally representative of the condominium board's views and intentions, not the lawyer's, anyway) is not even close to a reasonable or well-grounded basis for assessing a lawyer's skills or intelligence. Mr. Smith also makes spurious, ill-willed and untrue allegations about the reason for the dissolution of Sutherland Kelly, of which I have direct personal knowledge. He is wrong. But he alleges that many of Michelle's clients agree with him about this matter. Unless he can prove that by production of such clients' affirmed testimonies, his statement appears to me to be pure and obvious libel. I also know Michelle's current employer is no fool, and does not suffer fools; just as I believe Michelle ought not to suffer the unkind and abusive allegations of Mr. Smith.
