If your matter is not listed here, ask — the boundaries are rarely as clean as a list suggests.
What working with the firm involves, and what you can expect from us.
Unit owners, buyers, and board members in Florida condominium and homeowners' associations. The firm acts for unit and lot owners, for buyers reviewing an association before closing, and for boards. Which of those we can represent in a particular matter depends on conflicts, so it is worth raising at the first call. We handle matters with real financial stakes, identified opposing parties and decision-makers authorized to hire counsel. We do not handle residential tenant defense or foreclosure defense for individual homeowners.
You will always know what stage your matter is at, and what happens next.
Consultations by phone or at our office.
The firm serves clients from its Fort Lauderdale office. Consultations are available by phone, by video, or in person. We appear in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach courts.
