MOTOOKA YAMAMOTO & REVERE (“MYR”) represents more than 200 community associations (“Association”) on all islands. Our clients include condominium associations, master/community associations and co-ops. We assist community associations in all facets of their operations from the interpretation of their Declaration, By-Laws and House Rules (“Governing Documents”) and state law, drafting amendments to the Governing Documents, enforcing the Governing Documents and collecting delinquencies. Over the 30+ years of practice, we have assisted our clients in a wide array of matters and there is rarely a problem, which occurs, which we have not previously dealt with.
When our clients ask us to assist on enforcement of the Governing Documents, we attempt to resolve problems as amicably as possible, rather than to exacerbate the problem. We have found that this creates a “win-win” situation. The Association benefits form an acceptable resolution to the problem and the owner benefits from an amicable resolution without incurring additional liability for legal fees. Most importantly, it preserves the sense of community and reduces the tension created by an acrimonious fight between the Association and one of its members.
While we always strive for an amicable resolution to a dispute, in some instances, reason and logic fails. In those situations, our experienced litigation attorneys in our office are capable of resolving the dispute with the owner or tenant in mediation, arbitration or litigation. Having the capability of litigating the dispute if necessary often assists us in amicably resolving disputes.
We are committed to providing our clients with as much information as possible. As a courtesy to our clients, we present an annual law seminar to address the latest developments affecting Associations. We have featured guest speakers on crucial issues relating to Associations at the seminars. The seminars include complimentary printed materials and a meal. The last MYR seminar was well attended and received. |
