I will try the SPECIAL

I hired Roger to review some of the Community Documents that govern my Home Owner Association because I suspected the Board of Directors had violated the meaning and intent of those Documents. Roger reviewed the Documents and basically came to the same decision for different reasons. Roger had take...n the time to review the CC&Rs which I insisted contained NOTHING about the situation. I am very thankful he did that because he actually found an answer in the CC&Rs that I had missed and is without a doubt right on the question. I would highly recommend Roger to any / all OWNERS of property within an HOA. In fact, my HOA has many, many, many problems and as soon as I can get them in order I plan to use Roger again.
