Most owner disputes can be handled yourself with the guides and letters on this site. But some situations need a lawyer: a lien, a foreclosure, a lawsuit, or a complex dispute where a lot is at stake.
We are building a network of Florida attorneys who focus on HOA and condominium law. Until then, here is how to find and vet one yourself:
- The Florida Bar Lawyer Referral Service connects you with attorneys by practice area. Ask for community association or real property law.
- Look for the right focus. You want a lawyer who handles Chapter 720 (HOA) or Chapter 718 (condo) matters, not a general practitioner.
- Check standing. Confirm any attorney is in good standing with The Florida Bar before you hire.
- Ask about fees up front. Many offer a flat fee for a demand letter or a short consultation.
For anything involving a lien, foreclosure, or lawsuit, do not wait. Talk to a licensed Florida attorney.
