HOA Attorney

WHAT OUR HOA ATTORNEYS CAN DO FOR YOU

• Legal Expertise and Advice: An HOA attorney specializes in the unique legal matters that pertain to homeowners’ associations. They have a deep understanding of state and local real estate laws, as well as the governing documents that HOAs use, such as the bylaws, covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs). This enables them to provide you with sound legal advice on a range of legal disputes.

• Governing Document Interpretation: Governing documentation that HOAs use can sometimes be vague and open to interpretation. Our attorneys can help you interpret these documents and ensure that all parties are aware of their responsibilities.

• Compliance and Enforcement: HOAs must enforce their rules and regulations consistently and fairly. This helps keep homeowners’ associations effective and helps them achieve their collective goal that benefits the community. However, developing enforcement strategies can be challenging. Our HOA attorney can assist in developing and implementing effective compliance and enforcement strategies, ensuring that homeowners adhere to the established guidelines.

• Dispute Resolution:  Just like any agreement between parties, disputes can arise. HOA disputes often arise from things such as architectural disagreements, maintenance issues, or conflicts between homeowners. An HOA attorney can help facilitate a resolution to this disagreement through mediation or litigation.

• Contract Review and Negotiation: Contracts are full of paragraphs of text that contain all sorts of clauses, conditions, and terms that can be difficult to read and understand if you are not well-versed in legal jargon. An attorney can review these contracts for you and ensure that you understand all terms and conditions. If you want changes to be made, we can negotiate on your behalf. They can also assist in drafting and revising contracts to address specific needs and requirements.

• Collection of Assessments: Collecting HOA fees is vital to the successful operation and financial stability of every homeowner’s association; it is how they pay for everything they do. An HOA attorney can provide guidance on the proper procedures for collecting delinquent fees, including sending notices, imposing late fees, and, if necessary, pursuing legal action to recover unpaid dues.
