Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a real estate or consumer protection attorney in Palm Beach County, preferably someone experienced in cases of failure to disclose or misrepresentation.
⸻
The Situation • We bought our home in Arden in June of this year. During the buying process, the sales rep did not disclose that there was an ongoing dispute between Arden’s previous developer and USPS over curbside mail delivery. • Per an email from a Lennar representative: • An agreement between the original developer and USPS capped curbside delivery at 2,000 homes. • Palm Beach County later approved new site plans increasing Arden to 2,334 residences, which exceeded that cap. • Because of this, USPS refuses to provide curbside delivery to the newer homes. Instead, residents must pick up mail at a remote location. • As a result: • We were misled into believing we’d have curbside delivery (there’s even a mailbox installed at the end of our driveway). • We have not received any mail since moving in. • Some residents must drive over 40 minutes just to get their mail. • The USPS office handling this overflow is overwhelmed, and mail has already been lost.
This was never disclosed to us when purchasing the home, and it materially affects quality of life, convenience, and potentially property value.

What We Need
We’re looking for legal guidance to determine whether this qualifies as failure to disclose / misrepresentation, and to explore possible remedies.
If anyone can recommend a real estate or consumer protection attorney in Palm Beach County who may take on this case, please let me know.
