Hey everyone, as we slide into these last few weeks of 2020, there are few things that we will miss about this year.  But as bad as it has been, we were very lucky to have so many of you as clients and others as community manager partners in our joint representation of community associations.  So first, we wanted to say a big thanks from all of us at Barker Martin for making our 2020 quite positive in that respect.  And for keeping us busy!  And speaking of busy, we are so excited to announce that Samantha Brown has joined our general counsel group!  If you know Sam, you know that she is an incredibly smart and hard-working attorney and is eager to help communities with their general counsel needs.  If you don’t know Sam, we look forward to introducing her to you.  Sam’s dedication to her clients, her responsiveness, her intellectual curiosity and her litigation background make her a great fit at Barker Martin and adding her to the group will allow us to maintain the level of client service you all deserve.  So please join us in welcoming Sam to the firm and if you want to welcome her yourself, you can reach her at sbrown@barkermartin.com.
