Legal Question in Entertainment Law in Arizona

Re: golf membership dues

The agreement may be like a lease where even if you transfer you remain liable for the term of the contract, and here, the contract could be on-going. That being said, there may be grounds to argue termination. For example, even with personal guaranties, which are difficult to escape, there are cut offs where the guarantor is no longer married to the property owner, involved in the business,etc. And, like you said there may be statutes of limitations defenses, (laches - same thing in equity - too much delay mean no way to defend, witnesses gone, evidence ruined, etc.).

We would need the agreement they seek to enforce (attached to atty letter?), plus other related documents (CC&R's, Ass'n regs, etc.). If you do not have, then we can get from attorney.

Think the legal issues are going to be a little "sticky." but, seems reasonable that we could negotiate a better deal than the judgment they are going to seek against you. Attorney power means your negotiating leverage is weak. Would cost less to hire us, I think.

Initial Advance fee (trust account deposit) for document review, legal research to review current cases and draft response to attorney would be $2,500.00. We would bill actual time against this trust deposit. Or, we can just review the situation and tell you what we think for about $1,000.00

Let us know. Thanks.
