Advocating your interests and protecting your
rights
The
experienced litigators at NowackHoward represent community associations in all
kinds of disputes, including trials and appeals in state and federal courts,
administrative hearings, and alternative dispute resolution. These also include
matters such as directors' and officers' liability claims, covenant and rule enforcement,
breach of contract cases, land use, and negligence claims. You will find our
experience makes us keenly attentive to the unique elements and highly specific
needs of our clients in every lawsuit.
As
community association advocates, we understand the unique nature of
associations and the effect lawsuits can have on a community. In any business
organization, complex legal issues often intersect with personal and
organizational relationships. Community associations are no exception. And
despite the best intentions of the individuals involved, disagreements arise,
especially in the interpretation and enforcement of governing documents.
In
particular, community association declarations and by-laws contain provisions
governing what owners can and cannot do within their community. And while our
goal is to ensure compliance without litigation, regrettably, not all owners
voluntarily comply with association documents, compelling associations to force
compliance through legal action.

attorneys also help board members understand state insurance laws and coverage
requirements. One of the most important duties of a board is to ensure that the
association carries all required and adequate insurance coverage. In addition,
as the insurance and risk management environment is more tumultuous than ever,
we work closely with insurance companies to understand and interpret the latest
laws to protect association board members.
