What we handle

The work behind a well-run association.

Four services, drawn from what the firm does for its associations today. Each one is handled by an attorney who knows your documents.

Governing document amendments

Reviewing and amending your declaration, bylaws and rules so the community can plan for the future.
Covenant enforcement

Enforcing your governing documents and rules against owners who refuse to comply.
Assessment collections

Pursuing unpaid assessments through the lien and foreclosure process, on behalf of the association.
Contract review & preparation

Reviewing and preparing the management, vendor and service contracts an association signs every year.

Who we represent

The association, not the individual owner.

Our client is the association, acting through its board. Before we respond to any inquiry we run a conflict check. That is why the contact form asks for the name of your association.

We represent

Condominium associations Chapter 718
Cooperative associations Chapter 719
Homeowners’ associations Chapter 720
Boards and community managers Acting on behalf of the association

We do not represent

Individual owners against their own association
Any party adverse to an association we already represent

The statute

Three chapters of the Florida Statutes govern our work.

Chapter

718

Condominiums

The Condominium Act: how a condominium is created and governed, the rights of unit owners and the duties of the board.
Chapter

719

Cooperatives

The Cooperative Act: the parallel framework for cooperative housing, where residents hold shares rather than deeded units.
Chapter

720

Homeowners’ Associations

Governance, assessments and covenant enforcement in planned communities outside the condominium form.

How it works

From the first call to a resolved matter.

Step 01

A conflict check first

We confirm we can act for your association before we discuss the substance of the matter.
Step 02

Scope and cost in writing

You receive a plain statement of what we will do, what it should take and what it will cost.
Step 03

One attorney to the end

The attorney who takes the first call handles the file and reports to the board until it is resolved.
