Who Is The Best HOA Lawyer For You?

Aggressive attorneys representing California homeowners

There are many lawyers that claim to know California HOA law. But very few are dedicated to representing homeowners. Most lawyers that practice HOA law work for the HOA. You’ve probably heard of them: Tinnelly Law, Swedelson Gottleib, Wolf Rifkin, Beaumont Tashjian, Whitney Petchul, Berding Weil, etc. We know them. We’ve gone against them. We know their tactics all too well.

Our aggressive and effective attorneys have protected countless homeowners from HOAs in California. But whether you choose us or not, here are 5 things to look for when choosing an attorney to help you with your HOA dispute.

1. Pick an Attorney With Unparalleled Experience in HOA Law

If you’re looking for an attorney to help you with your HOA dispute, you should look for an attorney who knows HOA law. Don’t pick someone who dabbles in it. Your HOA’s lawyer knows HOA law and their sole purpose is to outgun you. Your HOA, and your dispute with your HOA, is regulated by the Davis-Stirling Act. So if you go to a lawyer and they don’t know the Davis-Stirling Act inside-out, go elsewhere. Don’t pay an attorney to learn the Davis-Stirling Act just for your case. It’s too expensive, and if they get it wrong, you suffer the consequences. Your case depends on your lawyer having a thorough understanding of the Davis-Stirling Act.

We fight HOAs for a living. Representing homeowners is our primary focus. So we’ve made it our business to know the Davis-Stirling Act. We know the HOA’s playbook. And, more importantly, we’ll use that knowledge to fight on your behalf. We’ve successfully represented countless homeowners against their HOAs.

2. Pick An Attorney Who Cares About You as a Person

Law is a service industry. A lot of lawyers overlook that. They prioritize billable hours over personal relationships. It stands to reason that a lawyer that doesn’t care about the client won’t care about the client’s case either. Don’t pick a lawyer that doesn’t care about you personally. It makes an already stressful process aggravating. You deserve better. Demand it.

We take a personal interest in our clients as people. We care about our clients as much as their cases. With that comes honesty. We’re willing to tell our clients when it just doesn’t make sense to hire us. We put our clients’ interests before our bottom line. Your case is as important to us as it is to you.

3. Pick An Attorney With A Plan

You hire an attorney to resolve your dispute assuming they know what to do. But lots of lawyers go into a case without a plan in place. Because they have no plan, they’re reactive instead of proactive. For clients, it always feels like they’re one step behind the opposition. You wouldn’t let your doctor perform surgery on you without a plan. Why would you let your attorney start your case without one?

We practice law with purpose. From day one, we develop a comprehensive and systematic approach to solving our clients’ problems. We’re in control before we even start a case. With a plan in place we can anticipate your HOA’s tactics, and ensure that they always feel one step behind. That means you’re always one step ahead.

4. Pick An Attorney Who Values Your Time

Legal disputes are always all-consuming. They consume not just your financial resources, but your mental and emotional energy, and your time. Most lawyers don’t respect just how much clients have to devote to ensure their case is handled well. Instead of working around their client’s schedule, they make clients work around the attorney’s schedule.

Your life shouldn’t revolve around your law firm’s business hours. That’s why we give you constant access to your case and case files with our state of the art client portal. You can check in as often or as little as you want, whenever you want. When you give us your case, we give you your time back.

5. Pick A Battle-Tested Attorney

Don’t pick a greenhorn or a snake-oil salesman. Too many firms put your case in the hands of a junior associate with minimal oversight from a partner. Or worse, the partners themselves lack experience. Paying an attorney to learn how to practice law is too expensive, both for your pocketbook and your case. It shouldn’t be your burden.

We’ve advised and represented countless homeowners in their HOA disputes. But before founding LPC and dedicating ourselves to representing homeowners, our partners worked for the nation’s biggest clients, handling high-stakes and high-pressure cases at all stages, from pre-litigation, all the way through appeal.
