Home Owner and Condominium Owner Association Matters
Clarifying Covenants, Enforcing Responsibilities, Resolving Conflict
Homeowners’ associations (HOAs) and condominium owners’ associations (COAs) are intended to preserve property values, maintain shared spaces, and establish community standards. But when conflict arises—whether between neighbors and boards, boards and developers, or among residents—professional legal guidance can make all the difference. At Robinson & Lawing, LLP, we represent both homeowners and associations, offering experienced, balanced counsel for complex and often sensitive disputes.
Our attorneys work to resolve issues quickly, lawfully, and with an eye toward restoring function and fairness to the communities we serve.
Representation for Homeowners and Unit Owners
If you're a homeowner or condo resident in a planned community, a dispute with your HOA or COA board can feel deeply personal. Our firm represents individuals who are facing violation notices, fines, rule enforcement actions, or governance conflicts that impact their home or investment.
We help property owners:
- Respond to enforcement actions and warning letters
- Challenge unlawful, arbitrary, or selective enforcement of rules
- Navigate disputes over architectural changes or property use
- Demand fair treatment under governing documents and applicable law
- File or defend lawsuits involving fines, liens, or assessments
Whether you're facing a board that has overstepped its authority or trying to resolve an escalating dispute without litigation, Robinson & Lawing is here to protect your rights and your peace of mind.
Representation for HOA & COA Boards and Associations
We also serve as legal counsel to homeowners' and condominium associations across North Carolina. Our attorneys advise board members, management companies, and community developers on their rights and obligations under the North Carolina Planned Community Act, the North Carolina Condominium Act, and their own governing documents.
Our services include:
- Covenant and bylaw interpretation and enforcement
- Collection of unpaid assessments and lien enforcement
- Drafting and amending rules, regulations, and governing documents
- Handling architectural review and use restriction disputes
- Advising on elections, board procedures, and fiduciary duties
- Representing the association in mediation, arbitration, or litigation
We understand the importance of board compliance and consistency—and we help associations operate with confidence, reduce risk, and maintain community trust.
Local Counsel for Out-of-State Owners and Association Boards
Robinson & Lawing also provides local counsel services for out-of-state property owners, developers, and association leadership. If you manage or own North Carolina real estate from another state, we can represent your interests in disputes, ensure local compliance, and handle filings, hearings, and negotiations on your behalf.
