Wheelchair Bound Widow Beats Down Bully Condo Association

A Margate, Florida condominium association, which brought a lawsuit against an 86 year old, wheelchair-bound widow with a failing memory for allowing two caretakers to stay with her in her apartment around the clock, decided to backpeddle when she retained legal counsel to fight back against them. The association has announced its intent to dismiss the case. However, her attorney, Blaine Carneal, has accused the association of violating Normoyle's civil rights and fair housing laws and asked the Florida Attorney General's Office to investigate. Further, he has formally demanded that the association pay him his attorney fee incurred by his client. The condo association is painfully finding out that once you pick on the wrong person, you can't just back away and not expect any repercussions.
