Exceptional

I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with Michael Rabkin since 2007 and continue to work with with him today. He is always level headed, available and provides direct and honest opinions to keep his clients out of legal trouble. At times you may hear the opposite of what you'd like, but tha...t is what separates Michael from the others. He always provides his clear legal opinion and not the one he thinks you are looking for and all within very reasonable billable hours for his time . In today's world this is rare and more valuable than ever. If you are looking for HOA representation there is simply no one better.

Review from a client

I have had the pleasure of working with Michael Rabkin for over 10 years. Having been in the HOA industry for over 20 years, I have had the opportunity to work with other HOA attorneys. Michael Rabkin and his firm is one of, if not the best, law firms with which a Manager and Board of Directors cou...ld align. He is thorough, thoughtful and knowledgeable in practice of the law. He has saved many of my clients from making decisions that would undoubtedly have led to multiple lawsuits. All the while, being cognizant of the minimization of legal expenses. Cannot recommend him enough!

Highly Recommend

I am the President of an HOA which needed legal guidance on a particular matter. Michael Rabkin was highly recommended to us and after speaking to him I could see why. I found Mr. Rabkin to be polite, professional, knowledgeable and extremely experienced. His work was logically presented and artic...ulate in supporting his analysis. As with any legal matter, people can agree or disagree with the opinion rendered. However, from my own HOA attorney client experience with Mr. Rabkin, I would recommend him without reservation to anyone who needs legal advice on property or HOA matters.
