New Hotline: Community Association Legal Resource

Dec 28, 2015

We know you wear a lot of hats. Is one of them “Legal Advisor?” Have you ever been asked one of the following questions by your boards or managers?

  • A co-op owner wants to redo his driveway, but the board hasn’t approved the materials. How should the board proceed?
  • The board would like to change the bylaws to add more units. What steps should we take?
  • The board has received numerous complaints and served many warnings to a noisy neighbor. How should we proceed with taking legal action?


We’re here to help!

In partnership with Great American, we are proud to offer Community Associations D&O policyholders the legal advice of Cole, Scott, and Kissane (CSK), one of US News’ “Best Law Firms in 2015.” For no additional fee, board members and managers* can pick up the phone to receive professional legal advice for association-related issues and receive help from any member of CSK’s 320 attorneys.

Getting the right advice right from the start, without the worry that can accompany spending up to $150/hr for a legal consultation, can often be the difference between a complicated lawsuit, and a peaceful resolution.

Learn more about our Community Association programs on our website.

*All eligible D&O policyholders who are currently board members of a HOA or COA will be able to take advantage of this new feature.
