4 hrs
Guaranteed Response Time
Six promises no other HOA firm will put in writing.
These are not aspirational values. They are contractual commitments, stated in your engagement letter.
01
Response within four business hours
Every email and voicemail from a board member or property manager receives a substantive reply within four business hours — or your first consultation is complimentary.
02
Board-ready draft in fourteen days
We deliver a fully revised set of CC&Rs, bylaws, or rules and regulations — formatted for board adoption and owner ratification — within fourteen calendar days of engagement.
03
Zero out-of-pocket collection
Our assessment recovery program is entirely contingency-based. We advance all filing fees, lien recording costs, and litigation expenses — you pay only when we collect.
04
Transition package in thirty days
Developers receive a complete transition binder — recorded documents, meeting minutes, financial statements, and a compliance calendar — thirty days before turnover.
05
Enforcement letter within 48 hours
From the moment a violation is documented and submitted, a certified enforcement letter — citing the specific covenant provision — is dispatched within two business days.
06
Flat-fee resolution for routine disputes
Neighbor boundary disputes, parking violations, and architectural review appeals are handled at a published flat fee — quoted before engagement, no billing surprises.
All six guarantees appear in your engagement letter.
Every service anchored to a specific guarantee.
Assessment Recovery
Delinquent owners don't respond to board emails — they respond to liens and foreclosure notices. We file, litigate, and collect on your behalf on a pure contingency basis. The association pays nothing until we recover.
- Demand letters and payment plans drafted within 72 hours
- Lien recording and priority analysis included
- Litigation through small claims and superior court
- Post-judgment collection: wage garnishment, bank levy
- Monthly status reporting to the board and manager

Governing Document Rewrite
Your CC&Rs were written in 1987. They reference a typewriter clause, allow 30-day cure periods for structural additions, and say nothing about short-term rentals. We rewrite the entire document package — CC&Rs, bylaws, and operating rules — in language that actually works.
- Full gap analysis against current California Davis-Stirling Act
- Short-term rental, ADU, and EV charging provisions included
- Restated in plain language the board can enforce
- Owner notification and ratification process managed
- Recorded with county within 10 days of adoption

Enforcement & Dispute Resolution
The owner who added a second-story deck without approval. The neighbor who parks a commercial vehicle in guest spots every night. The board that's afraid to enforce because the last violation letter triggered a lawsuit. We handle enforcement from first notice through injunctive relief.
- Covenant violation letters citing specific document provisions
- Hearing notices and internal appeal procedures
- Mediation representation (mandatory pre-litigation)
- Injunctive relief and restraining order practice
- Defense of owner lawsuits against the association
94%
of enforcement matters resolved pre-litigation
Developer Transition
Turnover from developer control is the moment that creates the most legal exposure for newly formed associations. We organize the complete transition: recorded documents, reserve study coordination, budget adoption, and the statutory turnover meeting — before the developer hands over the keys.
- Statutory turnover meeting preparation and facilitation
- Reserve study coordination and initial budget review
- Document recording and compliance calendar
- First-year board orientation and training session
- Post-turnover defect analysis and demand letter

Three clients. One common problem: they needed a lawyer yesterday.
HOA Board Presidents
“You volunteered to run the pool schedule. Not to read a 60-page CC&R at midnight.”
Board presidents carry personal liability for enforcement decisions, budget approvals, and meeting procedures — without legal training, staff support, or compensation. Statute gives you a partner who already knows your documents, answers the same day, and makes the enforcement calls so you don't have to.
Common Issues We Resolve
- Delinquent assessments the prior attorney never collected
- Owners who installed additions without approval
- Board members afraid to enforce for fear of retaliation lawsuits
- CC&Rs that contradict state law
Property Managers
“Twelve communities. Twelve sets of CC&Rs. One attorney who knows all of them.”
Property managers need legal counsel that responds within the same business day, bills predictably, and doesn't require re-education on HOA law every time. Statute operates as a standing resource across your entire portfolio — one relationship, consistent advice, no per-community retainer.
Common Issues We Resolve
- Owners who appeal every violation to the manager directly
- Boards that want enforcement but won't approve legal fees
- Document sets that haven't been updated since the Obama administration
- Transition communities with no recorded documents on file
Developers
“You built the community. The last thing you need is a defect claim after you leave.”
Developer transition creates legal exposure that surfaces two to five years after turnover — when the new board discovers the reserve fund was underfunded, the CC&Rs weren't properly recorded, or the architectural standards are unenforceable. We close those gaps before you hand over the keys.
Common Issues We Resolve
- Transition meeting statutory requirements not met
- CC&Rs recorded with errors or missing provisions
- Reserve study not coordinated before turnover
- New board unaware of pending violations or disputes
