Jerry H. Stein Jerry H. Stein, a Washington licensed lawyer, is an Order of the Coif honoree from the UCLA School of Law and has more than 25 years of experience in litigating and resolving construction and other real estate related disputes. Jerry has tried more than 30 cases and is one of the few construction defect attorneys to have actually tried a construction defect case on behalf of a condominium association. With Jerry Stein as lead trial counsel, the jury awarded the Lake Meridian Association approximately $3 million dollars in damages against the developer. The $3 million dollar verdict represented a recovery of 100% of the damages sought by the Association. Jerry Stein was one of the first attorneys to obtain a pre-trial writ of attachment on behalf of a condominium association that enabled a court to obtain jurisdiction over a developer’s assets while suit was pending. This prevented the developer from disposing of those assets while the association’s claims were still in the dispute resolution process. In addition to his work as trial counsel, Jerry also has extensive appellate experience. In a precedent setting published opinion involving the Marina Cove Condominium Association, Jerry was able to convince the Appellate Court that an association’s right to a jury trial on its damage claims prevailed over the standard provisions in a developer’s sales agreement purporting to compel the Association to arbitrate any claims that it might have against the developer.
