Property Manager

Stephen represents many of our community association clients and has been an amazing resource to their respective Boards. He has incredible knowledge of community association law, governing document interpretations, collections/delinquency management, and general litigation. I highly recommend.

Exceptional

We have worked with Mr. Waldinger and his firm for many years for collection matters and general HOA business matters and have had many successful cases settled, collecting over 300K in bad debt. The office support staff goes out of their way to assist also. I can not say enough positive things abo...ut Mr. Waldinger and his firm!

Balanced, Practical Advice

Our management firm regularly hires several law firms to act on our clients' behalf on issues related to governance, enforcement, ADA compliance, collections, and other matters. Steven and his partners are our default firm because of their practical advice, generally suggesting non-litigious solutio...ns rather than costly (and unpredictable) court actions. The firm is thoughtful in their communication and mindful in their billing. They have provided services to our clients for over 20 years with excellent results.

Property Management Knowledge

I have worked in property management with Steven as the attorney representing numerous Condominium and Homeowner Associations, for over 15 years. His ability to interpret By-Laws, and knowledge of actions to be taken is always spot on. His experience with contracts, homeowner negotiations, collecti...ons, foreclosures and litigation proceedings inspire confidence. I highly recommend Steve Waldinger as representation for Condomiums, Co-ops and Homeowner Associations due to his broad knowledge base in this area.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
