There are no better HOA Attorneys anywhere! I can easily state that as a fact from my personal experience working with Cindy and her team.
One as a working professional as a former Director of Marketing for a Law Firm, I had the opportunity to interact with dozens of lawyers. There are countl...ess attorneys who simply move through the motions but do not really efficiently and directly solve problems.
Two because I have hired Cindy Hill on a number of occasions, without fail, she listens, offers the most expedient of solutions, then, follows up on her word.
After repeated requests to the Board for direction on the damage caused by their vendor when the company tore up my flower bed bed when repairing a pavement. Finally, after no action was taking for months, at my expense, I hired a professional vendor to repair "their" damage. One would have thought that would have taken care of the problem.
In a stunning show of HOA petulance the Board-of-Directors fined me a $1,000 rather than to take responsibility for the lack of response on their behalf. Rather than listen to the facts (as unfortunately so many HOA Boards and Property Managers do NOT do) they claimed the "repair/replacement" was not approved (this in spite of the fact multiple forms and requests had been submitted over months with absolutely no action taken by the Board).
As crazy as that sounds I am certain there are many others who have dealt with the blind and stubborn actions of HOA Boards of Directors. They have access to a large line item for legal fees so often will litigate a homeowner into submission (whether they are on justified grounds or not).
This is where a competent and caring HOA attorney can make a genuine difference in your life, I love my home and did not want to sell but I had to seriously consider the option since the HOA continued with their harassment. Well, continued, until up to the point, a very direct letter was sent making it clear THEIR responsibilities and obligations. In fact it was made crystal clear that the HOA and Property Management Company were in violation given their history of harassment and selective enforcement. It was also made clear given my efforts, their lack of response and then their forced judgment to fine me that they would be held liable by most any judge for costs, legal fees and potential punitive damages.
As a side note one of the reasons Cindy is so effective is her training at Oxford University, she is a master with the written word. Her letters make it clear what the problem is and what the solution should be. I am a huge fan of Cindy Hill's expertise and wanted to share with others how effective she is at solving problems.
