Unmatched Expertise in Community Law

Condominium law in Hawaii is a distinct niche that requires more than just general legal knowledge. It demands a deep understanding of HRS 514B and other specific statutes. The firm’s attorneys are not just practitioners; they are educators who frequently teach seminars and write articles on association law. They help associations navigate the tricky waters of fair housing laws, reasonable accommodation requests, and covenant enforcement. Their goal is to help communities run smoothly and avoid costly litigation whenever possible. Services include:

• General Counsel: Advising boards on day-to-day operations, meeting procedures, and fiduciary duties.
• Document Amendments: Updating and restating Declarations and Bylaws to comply with current laws.
• Collection and Foreclosure: Efficient recovery of delinquent maintenance fees.
• Dispute Resolution: Mediating and arbitrating disputes between owners and associations.

Nationally Recognized Leaders

The firm’s excellence has been acknowledged on a national level. Richard Ekimoto is a member of the prestigious College of Community Association Lawyers (CCAL), an honor reserved for fewer than 200 attorneys nationwide. Both partners have been listed in Best Lawyers in America and Super Lawyers. Their firm is known for its practical, cost-effective approach. They understand that association boards are made up of volunteers, and they strive to provide clear, actionable advice that solves problems without breaking the budget.
