Van Winkle has accumulated decades of experience working with volunteer boards governing condominiums, neighborhoods, gated communities, and other residential developments. Our work has included negotiating terms of the final turnover by the developer; drafting, reviewing and enforcing covenants and by-laws; collecting delinquent assessments; and management of common areas, such as parks, recreational areas, utility infrastructure and building exteriors. Volunteer boards are often faced with these issues with only minimal reserves and experience. Van Winkle brings these clients practical solutions and a clear understanding of complicated issues, helping boards effectively and efficiently protect the interests of the homeowners.
