"I was facing a $3,800 special assessment that my HOA had never properly voted on. After one session with HOA Law Stars, I understood exactly what my CC&Rs required — and I was able to challenge it myself at the next Board meeting. The assessment was rescinded. I paid only $350 instead of the $4,500 an attorney quoted me."

Fines & Assessment ReviewMore Stories from Our Clients
Every homeowner deserves to understand their rights. Here's what happens when they do.
"My HOA fined me $1,200 for a fence I installed with verbal approval from the property manager. HOA Law Stars walked me through my CC&Rs and showed me exactly where the approval process was supposed to be documented. I went back to the Board with that knowledge and the fine was waived. Worth every penny of the consultation fee."

"I had no idea what was actually in my governing documents until HOA Law Stars explained them in plain English. I'd been fined $500 twice for the same violation according to our governing documents, but HOA Law Stars explained the AB130 statute in California to us and we realized we were only supposed to be fined $100 regardless of what our community fine schedule said. That one session paid for itself 5 times over."

"When my HOA threatened to put a lien on my home over a disputed fine amount, I panicked and called an attorney who wanted a $3,000 retainer to start. A friend suggested HOA Law Stars instead. For only $350 I understood my rights, the proper notice requirements for a pre-lien and exactly what the Management and Board could and couldn't do. The lien threat went away once HOA Law Stars informed us that "in most cases by law they must give homeowners a payment plan consideration option before moving forward with a trustee sale of the home"

"I'm a first-time condo owner and had no idea how to read my HOA documents. The session with HOA Law Stars was incredibly clear and only cost $175, after an attorney quoted $2,500 to start! HOA Law Stars explained every section that applied to my situation, flagged things I should watch out for, and gave me the confidence to actually participate in Board meetings and run for Board President, I feel like an informed homeowner now."
Priya N.
Burbank, CA
"Our HOA tried to pass a special assessment on the community without a proper member vote or authority to do so. One call to HOA Law Stars helped us understand our rights and the voting requirements in our By Laws. We organized our neighbors, called for a proper membership vote, and the assessment was defeated. Saved our entire street thousands of dollars."

"I'd been fighting with my HOA for two years over repeated parking violation fines applied to my while others continue to park and not receive the same violations. Every attorney I called wanted a retainer I couldn't afford. HOA Law Stars showed me the due process requirements my HOA had skipped entirely and informed me that uniform governance is the responsibility of the Board of Directors. I wrote a letter citing the exact sections — the fine was dismissed within two weeks."
