Services

We prioritize high quality work, affordability, and long-term, practical solutions for our clients. 

Collections

Associations rely on their members to timely pay their share of assessments. Collections are often critical to maintaining an association’s financial health, and we regularly work with our clients to develop strategies and procedures that achieve results.

Foreclosures

We provide zealous advocacy to associations in foreclosure litigation. We are routinely engaged in foreclosure of assessment liens and defending association’s rights and interests in foreclosure litigation.

Covenants & Rules Enforcement

Routine enforcement of covenants and rules help to protect investments, ensure safety, and preserve aesthetic characteristics of communities. We assist clients in achieving compliance.

Attorneys

We have over fourteen years of combined experience in representing Hawaiʻi community associations.
