Attorney David W. Meyer is an extremely knowledgeable professional in the area of HOAs. While my significant other and I were dealing with a matter regarding our local HOA, David offered us a certain background and know-how that helped us as we were working to put our HOA in its rightful place. David works both representing HOAs and defending against them, which only adds to his reputation as fair, effective, and broad-minded in dealing with these kinds of matters.
