Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland

Re: Homeowners Assoc. misappropriation of funds?

I have a great deal of experience in addressing issues related to Homeowners Associations and other types of common ownership communities. I am particularly experienced with regard to the myriad of issues that develop during the phase of developer control, and during the phase of turn-over to homeowner control. In addition to representing homeowners and their associations, for many years I served as the general counsel and/or legislative counsel to the Maryland Homeowners Association. In that capacity I have testified before legislative committees on countless occasions on issues related to homeowners associations (from the persepective of the homeowner). I have also been recognized and quoted on HOA issues in local and national publications (Wall Street Journal, Baltimore Sun, Kiplinger's, Money Magazine, etc.).

Despite my background and experience, I am afraid that your question is simply too complicated for me to give any kind of useful answer in a bulletin board email posting. Please call me at your convenience and I will be happy to chat with you briefly to explore your facts.
