Robert Leon Tankel

Mr. Tankel assisted me with a dispute regarding an HOA and the collection of fees from a previous owner. He understood the Florida "safe harbor" law and all the ramifications. He helped me out a great deal and his knowledge of the applicable laws was truly helpful beyond belief. I will be forever gr...ateful. I highly recommend him and his firm for legal services!!!!

Attorney Tankel has represented our association for seven years. While other communities in Pinellas County have gone under due to the housing crisis, Bob's innovative techniques and personalized supervision have kept our association and housing community healthy and prosperous! Under Attor...ney Tankel's guidance, families in our housing community have actually seen housing prices RISE! Attorney Tankel clearly looks out for our best interests, and his compassion is evident through his actions.

For years, our condo association used attorneys who continually charged us for filing liens (annually) on properties and never collected a penny for us. Then we met Bob Tankel and have used him continually for over 3 years. We rarely are billed for any fees; yet Tankel's office has collected thousa...nds of dollars for us and provided sound advice on myriad matters. Once our condo association adopted the "no tolerance" philosophy Mr. Tankel recommended, many owners who failed to pay their monthly assessments realized that they could NOT choose to pay us last after the cable co and cell phone provider unless they wanted to risk losing their condo. Tankel's office treats us with the utmost respect, and everyone I have worked with on his staff is responsive and knowledgable. I highly recommend him to any condo association who wants to keep bad debt at a minimum.

There seems to be no middle ground regarding Mr. Tankel. He is a creative, out of the box thinker, which the bar apparently doesn't like. He is the ONLY association lawyer who has challenged bogus foreclosures and even has set several aside with co-counsel at NO CHARGE, so the case got dismissed. Thi...s allowed the owner to pay our association or face our foreclosure. He is the only lawyer I know who advances all fees and costs and only bills at the end of the case. In over 90% of our cases we have never seen a bill, only checks, which makes our CAM that much happier, no legal expenses, no legal income to track. He and his team work hard to get results for us. He and his team also handle general counsel, amendments rule enforcement, etc. We have been very happy with his work over the 20+ years we have used him.
