- Roy Oppenheim on AG Settlement with Fox News, Florida
- Fox News
- Oppenheim contributed to a Fox News segment detailing the latest insult aimed at homeowners, this time by the state attorneys general. The penalty for grand larceny in Florida carries a maximum prison sentence of five years, but the banks that caused a worldwide economic meltdown in 2008 may only get a slap on the wrist. There is currently a deal in the works that would offer lower penalties brought by state attorneys general in exchange for the banks cutting $25 million worth of principle off distressed loans.

- Q. I live in Florida and my HOA board of directors changed the rules about parking on the street overnight.
- A: One would have to review your HOA documents and the recorded documents concerning your association. These docs typically state the process in which the docs may be amended. In terms of the fines, again, the HOA docs would have this information as well as the process for which a fine may even be imposed .
