HOA abuse
My wife and I found Mr. Dessaules to be quite expert, available and reasonable in our consultation with him on HOA issues. Hope we don’t need him again but glad to know that a true expert is available to help, if we do need him.

Jonathan Adam Dessaules's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. He has demonstrated himself to be a dedicated and talented attorney in pursuing the causes of his clients."
"I worked with Jon 20 years ago at a large international firm where we were "in the trenches" together. He impressed me not only for his exceptional legal skills and intelligence, but for his charismatic personality and rare ability to "play well with others!" Over the years, Jon and I have remained good friends and I call on him first whenever I have an unusual legal issue I've never encountered. He always has the answer and is happy to share his knowledge and experience. Recently, he volunteered to work pro-bono with me defending a small nonprofit client against a malicious and unfounded counterclaim for fraud. He did so only because he was so offended by the claim and because the client lacked the resources to pay for a vigorous defense. He was instrumental in resolving the case. Jon is a gifted lawyer, a loyal friend and a good man with impeccable integrity. I endorse Jon without reservation."
"Jon is an excellent litigator and and client advocate, and a terrific boss and mentor."
"Jon is an excellent attorney with over 20 years of experience. He prioritizes finding solutions to difficult legal issues. Jon has a direct approach and a unique talent for taking a complicated case and breaking its issues down into simple components. He is dynamic and results-driven, which consistently helps his clients achieve successful outcomes. I would highly recommend Jon for any legal matter."
