Why Work With Our HOA Lawyers

Choosing the right team matters when a community dispute affects where you live and the value of your property. At Bilu Law, we are a commercial and real estate law firm serving all 67 counties in Florida, with our main office in Pompano Beach. This combination of local presence and statewide reach is important because many owners and associations have interests in more than one community, and Florida law governs them all.

Our attorneys bring decades of experience in real estate law, business litigation, foreclosure defense, bankruptcy, and landlord-tenant matters. HOA and condo disputes often touch several of these areas at once. For example, an assessment dispute might turn into a lien, and then a foreclosure action, or an owner under financial stress might need advice about bankruptcy and how it interacts with association claims. Because these services are under one roof, we can evaluate the full picture rather than treating your HOA dispute in isolation.

Our principal attorney, Ron S. Bilu, is licensed to practice in all Florida State Courts and in the Federal Court for the Southern District of Florida. He has been selected to Super Lawyers from 2019 through 2025 and was named a Rising Star for six consecutive years before that. Our firm has also been recognized among America's Top 100 Civil Defense Litigators, and Ron S. Bilu co-authored a Thomson Reuters book on strategies for defending Florida foreclosures. For clients facing association liens or foreclosure threats, this background is especially valuable.

We are authorized to perform title closings in every Florida county, which means we work daily with property records, liens, and covenants that shape HOA and condo rights. Our team is structured to provide cost-effective value, not large firm overhead. Clients describe us as caring, honest, and willing to keep working when matters become difficult. We strive to live up to that description in every community association dispute we handle, and we are committed to accessibility, responsiveness, and bilingual communication through Hablamos Español.

Common HOA Disputes We Handle

Most people reach out to us after a specific conflict has become hard to ignore. You might be a homeowner who believes the association is singling you out, or a board member who feels stuck between angry owners and legal obligations. Understanding that we regularly deal with similar disputes can reassure you that your situation is not impossible to manage.

For homeowners and condo unit owners, we often assist with alleged rule violations, disputes over architectural changes or improvements, and arguments about parking, pets, short-term rentals, or common area use. Many conflicts involve fines and assessments that the owner believes are unfair or not properly imposed. In coastal condominium associations around Pompano Beach, disagreements about maintenance responsibilities, special assessments, and hurricane or water damage repairs are also common.

On the association side, we work with boards and property managers when owners refuse to pay assessments, when there are questions about how to enforce governing documents, or when vendors and contractors fail to perform. Boards also seek guidance when owners challenge elections, claim selective enforcement, or accuse the association of violating Florida HOA or condo statutes. We understand that board members are often volunteers who want to do the right thing but are concerned about personal and association liability if they misstep.

Examples of community association disputes we address include:

• Assessment, fine, and collection disputes that may lead to liens or foreclosure actions
• Alleged violations of covenants, restrictions, architectural rules, or use provisions
• Challenges to board decisions, elections, or claimed selective enforcement
• Vendor and contractor conflicts affecting repairs, maintenance, or capital projects
• Questions about the interpretation of declarations, bylaws, and rules and regulations

Because our practice includes both litigation and transactional work, we are comfortable interpreting your governing documents and, when needed, presenting arguments in the Broward County courts. Our goal is to guide you toward resolutions that protect your rights while limiting the financial and emotional cost of ongoing conflict.

What To Do When HOA Conflict Grows

When a dispute with your HOA or condo association starts to escalate, it can be tempting to ignore letters or to respond with anger. Both reactions can harm your position. Whether you are an owner or a board member, taking a few careful steps early can help protect your rights and improve the chances of reaching a workable solution.

First, it is important to gather and organize all relevant documents. These typically include your declaration of covenants or condominium documents, bylaws, rules and regulations, any architectural guidelines, and all letters or emails exchanged about the issue. In Florida, timelines and procedures for notices, opportunities to cure violations, and collection practices matter. Missing a deadline in a notice from your association can make it harder to raise certain defenses later.

You should also be cautious about in-person confrontations or emotionally written responses. Angry posts on community forums or social media, or heated emails, can be used in later proceedings and may worsen relationships with neighbors. It usually helps to direct communication to the appropriate channel, such as the property manager or board, in a calm and factual way while you seek legal guidance.

Practical steps to take when an HOA dispute escalates include:

• Collect and keep every notice, letter, email, and screenshot about the dispute
• Obtain and review your declaration, bylaws, and current rules and regulations
• Avoid ignoring deadlines in violation, lien, or foreclosure notices
• Limit emotional confrontations and keep communication factual and in writing
• Contact a qualified attorney to review your documents and explain your options

During a free consultation with our firm, we review the key documents you provide and explain how Florida law and your governing documents interact in your situation. We talk with you about potential strategies, from negotiation and demand letters to defending or bringing legal action in the appropriate Broward County court. Our goal is to give you a clear picture so you can decide how to move forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Should I Call A Lawyer About My HOA Dispute?

You should consider calling as soon as you receive a violation, lien, or foreclosure notice, or when informal efforts are going nowhere. Early advice can help you avoid missed deadlines and harmful responses. We review your documents in a free consultation and explain practical options.

Can My HOA Really Put A Lien On My Home?

In Florida, associations typically can record liens for unpaid assessments and certain charges if they follow legal procedures and your documents. Whether a specific lien is valid depends on notice, amounts, and governing language. We review these details and advise you on possible challenges or solutions.

How Does Your Firm Charge For HOA Cases?

We discuss fees with you at the start so there are no surprises. Many HOA disputes involve hourly or flat fee structures, depending on complexity and expected work. During your free consultation, we outline the likely scope, possible strategies, and cost considerations so you can plan realistically.

Do You Represent HOA Boards As Well As Homeowners?

Yes, we represent both owners and associations in HOA and condo disputes. Our statewide Florida practice and broad real estate background help us see issues from both perspectives. That often leads to more practical strategies and helps boards and owners understand the risks of different choices.

What Happens During The First Meeting About My HOA Issue?

During the first meeting, we listen to your story, review key documents, and identify urgent deadlines. We then explain how Florida law and your governing documents apply, outline possible approaches, and answer your questions. Our team focuses on clear communication, and we can conduct the meeting in Spanish if needed.
