Association Law

Association Law

The Law Firm of Kelley & Grant is devoted to serving the Boards of condominium and homeowners’ associations.

The Firm provides counseling to country clubs, master associations, property owners’ associations, and owners’ ad hoc committees. We assist Boards and management companies in preparing for and conducting members’ meetings as well as Board meetings. We actively assist our clients in interpreting and amending governing documents, including drafting amendments, rules and regulations. We are always available to provide guidance in the event that enforcement of the rules become necessary.

The Law Firm of Kelley & Grant also assists Associations in drafting and negotiating provisions of services contracts with vendors, in addition to resolving vendor contract disputes.

If your Association is named in a mortgage foreclosure suit, our firm will actively defend and protect the Association’s interest in order to preserve the Association’s ability to collect the maximum allowable past due assessments from lenders, post bank foreclosure.

The Firm will aggressively pursue delinquent unit owners for past due assessments, and prosecute collection actions from beginning to end.

Each client will have access to an attorney who will provide legal counseling to the officers and directors and work closely with management companies to ensure the best operation of the Association.
