"I have worked with Appleton Reiss for 4 years as a board member and as a president of an HOA. It is one of the larger communities in the area. Appleton Reiss is excellent to work with. Not only does the firm do everything that would be expected by an HOA but they also spend countless hours advising me and educating us. There were many times that we wanted to do things that we didn't know were either not legal or would put unnecessary risk and liability on the community. Appleton Reiss was excellent about taking the time to understand in detail what we wanted to do and either telling us why we could not do them or advising us on the most cost effective avenue to make the desired changes. Appleton Reiss also understood the importance giving all residents the opportunity to comment and participate in various projects and discussions. Appleton Reiss is the only law firm that I would engage just because the service was second to none."
