practice in general community association representation and debt collection. “The continued growth that Becker has been enjoying in community association law and construction litigation, and the symbiotic nature of the two areas of practice, makes this an ideal time to bring on distinguished attorneys of Arnold and Karl’s stature,” said David Ramsey, head of Becker’s commu- nity association practice group in Morristown. “Their addition to Becker further elevates our already significant stature as a leader in community association representation and construc- tion litigation throughout the metropolitan area.” With the addition of the Law Offices of Arnold J. Calabrese to the Construction Defect Practice Group chaired by Matthew Meyers, the combined firms collected $70 million in construction defect settlements and judg- ments in 2017. n
