Minnesota HOA Law Attorneys
Hennepin County HOA Rules Law Firm
The growth of townhome developments, condominium complexes and other common interest communities has given rise to a new class of disputes and legal issues. The law firm of Patrick Burns & Associates maintains a strong practice in the specialized area of homeowners association law (HOA).
Our accomplished legal team brings a strong background in residential real estate law, construction law and civil litigation. This enables us to provide quality legal guidance and assertive representation to homeowner associations in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Twin Cities suburbs and greater Minnesota.
Counsel to Homeowner Association Boards
Our lawyers serve as general counsel or consultants to over a hundred townhome associations, condo associations, co-ops, gated communities and planned unit developments. In general, we represent the association board, but we also have represented individual unit owners in clarification of HOA rules and disputes with the association.
Our firm provides comprehensive services to the HOAs:
- Legal counsel for formation and organization
- Ongoing consulting to the board of directors
- Representation in disputes with developers, construction contractors or members
Founding attorney Patrick Burns and senior attorney Bart Gernander practice extensively in HOA law. They are familiar with all the relevant issues in establishing and maintaining a healthy association, including the most common sources of conflicts.
They can advise on meetings and bylaws; covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&R); assessments and dues; common areas and privacy concerns; contracting for services and any related concerns. They have prevailed in litigation to hold developers and contractors accountable for defects or non-performance, and deftly handle conflicts with association members, including eviction or lien foreclosure.
