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.
