Halk, Oetinger, and Brown, PLLC

Arizona Homeowners Association Law Firm

Halk, Oetinger, and Brown is a leading provider of assessment collection legal services in Arizona. Since 2006, we’ve shared the risks of collection with our clients by collecting our fees directly from the homeowners in breach of their contractual obligations. This aligns our interests with our clients perfectly – the sooner we resolve the case, the sooner our client, and our firm, get paid. Why should your community be penalized for fees when the homeowner failed to uphold their obligations?

First for a Reason

Comprehensive Legal Services for Arizona Homeowner’s Associations

Halk, Oetinger, and Brown originated the idea of a true contingent collections program for assessments and flat fee general counsel advice for planned communities and condominiums in Arizona. With our expertise and alternative billing system, we provide unparalleled service to homeowner’s associations.

Focused on Results, Not Billable Hours

We offer two easy-to-understand billing models for our clients. For general counsel services, we offer unlimited phone calls and questions for a flat rate of $50.00 per month. For assessment collection services, we offer a true contingency-based fee structure. If we don’t collect our legal fees from the debtor, we don’t get paid.

Our Flat Monthly Billing Plan
for General Counsel Services
Our goal is to provide general counsel services at an easy-to-understand flat monthly rate of $50.00. Billable hours create a barrier to establishing lasting relationships with clients. Have a question about your CC&Rs, pending legislation, or statutes? It’s all included. We offer a full range of legal services for planned communities and condominiums and complete other work on flat fees, or not-to-exceed fees.
Our Contingent Fee Retainer
for Assessment Collection Services
Our law firm was the first to offer a contingent fee retainer where we collect assessments at no charge to the Association. We strongly believe that paying homeowners should not have to pay the attorneys’ fees for the collection efforts of homeowners that are delinquent. When a homeowner fails to respond to your management company or association’s letters and certified mail noticing them about your intent to send them to collections, we’re ready to take legal action
Innovative Fee Structures

Our unique flat rate monthly fees provide certainty to Associations and make legal costs consistent and cost-effective.

An Assigned Legal Team

Every Association we take on as a client is assigned a dedicated attorney and collector. Our team will understand all your Association’s legal needs.

Association Legal Services

From covenant enforcement, from vendor disputes to inter-association conflicts, we provide the full range of legal services to our clients.

Assessment Collection

Assessment collection is the strength of our firm, but we provide a full range of services to planned communities and condominiums. When a homeowner fails to respond to your management company or association’s letters, we’re ready to take legal action.

How to Find the Right Attorney for Your Association’s Unique Needs

Having experienced legal counsel by your side can play an important role in ensuring compliance with governing Documents and laws. Homeowners Associations (HOAs) are governed by multiple layers of regulations, including federal, state, and local laws, as well as their own governing documents such as Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs), Bylaws, and Rules & Regulations. It is important to partner with a legal team that has HOA legal expertise.

We Provide Certainty to Associations on Collection and Legal Services
Halk, Oetinger, and Brown represents hundreds of planned communities and condominiums throughout Arizona. We have a successful track record of handling Covenant Enforcement, Assessment Collection, General Association Governance, and Litigation for Arizona Homeowner's Associations. We pride ourselves on being different in that we are hostile to the traditional billable hour system. Our law firm was the first to offer collection services to HOA Associations on a contingency (meaning no cost unless we collect) fee model. For all general, non-collection legal services, we offer easy-to-understand flat rates. We focus on solving problems, not billing hours. We believe that this provides a more mutually beneficial relationship with our clients in that it allows our clients to have peace of mind knowing that they won't be charged by the hour, and it also motivates us to collect faster on your behalf.
