Carpenter, Hazlewood, Delgado & Bolen 1400 East Southern Avenue, Tempe, AZ 85282

"The staff was very friendly while dealing with a very difficult situation. Showed compassion"

"Carpenter Hazelwood successfully helped our HOA collect unpaid dues. Javier has also been helpful and resourceful whenever we've had general questions or concerns."

"Sometimes with growth and success a firm becomes so large that they loose their personal touch. That's not the case here. In my experience they still treat each client, no matter how large or small, with the same personal touch they always have. It's never a challenge to get hold of an attorney or staff, and they have always been able to respond immediately to urgent matters. They have invested heavily in education in our industry which has helped raise the bar for all of us. Kudos!"

"This office is so terrible. I presented an offer to my hoa to settle. Which i think they just automatically deny. I kept following up. What's the result. Haven't heard anything. I finally went to hoa office to find out they hadn't received my offer. That I had submitted 4 months earlier. So of course the legal cost rises at my expense for their lack of work. How do you not submit it and how do you not follow up when the home owner is calling you to remind you. Then send you a summons and then not even 24hrs later after you call regarding it you find out it's gone up to 1k more. How and why did they submit this if they knew they were going to file suit for new amount. Guess who pays that. Yeah the hoa office with my fees. Absolutely shady business and they told me not to respond. Um what? Anyway I'm sure they are illegally doing things and they know that we're hopeless. I only got behind because my ex's name comes first so everything was going to him and he failed to tell me. I had only been in my home 3 months and didn't register that I hadn't gotten a bill for fees."

"I would never, ever, ever recommend this firm. As a person with a large percentage of interest in an HOA, I feel that it is my duty to observe and report waste on either the HOA or Owner side of all situations. I recently attended a deposition where only one attorney was necessary, but two attorneys were there... and the deposition lasted almost 5 hours when it could have been completed in no more than 2 hours. So instead of 2 hours, the client (the HOA) was billed for 10 hours of attorney's fees, and depositions can range about $350/hr. This means this likely cost at least $4000 (2 attorneys plus the court reporter), when it really should have cost about $800. This shows wanton disregard for their own clients' budgets, and if you're part of a HOA board I'd go elsewhere or go into this knowing that it's going to be incredibly costly. Then again, they do have to pay for that expensive high rise office."
