Experienced Oak Park Condo Law Attorney
Condominium Associations • Know Your Rights, Know Your Responsibilities
Given the groundswell in the number of Americans living in condominiums, it is no surprise that there has been a corresponding increase in legal issues surrounding people living so closely together in community.
At the law offices of Gabrielle S. Davis, P.C., I provide legal guidance, mediation and representation to condominium associations, professional managers and self-managed homeowners' associations. I bring twenty years experience to every encounter with a new client.
If you are having difficulty resolving a condo matter, please contact my office at 708.628.5102 to arrange a confidential consultation.
Skilled Advice for Condominium Boards
I have extensive firsthand knowledge of condominium living issues, as a condo owner, a condominium board member and as a member of the Chicago Bar Association. I use this knowledge and empathy to provide high-quality legal advice to professional condominium management associations and volunteer owner-managed condo associations on how to:
- Follow proper procedures for conducting elections and meetings, including annual meetings. Improper voting procedures can result in costly litigation but knowledgeable, experienced legal counsel can help avoid these liabilities.
- Draft and amend bylaws lawfully, including majority or supermajority voting requirements.
- Define and ensure transparency in meetings.
- Respond to unit owners or condo boards who commit by-law violations.
- Obtain and impose special assessments. Although this can be a straightforward procedure, if the steps are not followed, it can result in fractious litigation.
- Address legal challenges or bring lawsuits forward to the board.
- Pursue court actions for nonpayment of assessments and other matters.
- Treat condo money independently, and not as one's own - as required of the board as fiduciaries.
- Follow the Illinois Condominium Property Act so as not to be evicted for nonpayment of assessments.
I have significant legal experience in handling condominium law matters. I am a trained mediator who can help you resolve issues quickly. However, when necessary, I will fiercely litigate on your behalf.
