What We Do
Legal Services
Seventeen focused legal services for Florida condominium associations, HOAs, cooperatives, clubs and marinas: governance, collections, litigation, recovery.
Hamilton Mikes, P.A. concentrates its entire practice on the legal needs of Florida community associations. That focus lets us offer boards and managers a complete set of services — from the day-to-day guidance that keeps a community compliant and well governed to the collections, enforcement and litigation work that protects its assets when a dispute cannot be avoided.
Each service below is described in detail, including the statutes and procedures that typically apply and the questions boards most often ask us.
