What Is Co-Op and Condominium Representation?
Co-op and condominium representation refers to lawyers who specialize in the issues that can come up for you as a co-op or condominium owner. Lawyers who specialize in co-op disputes are usually retained by the co-op or homeowner’s association (HOA) that you rent from, buy from or join. As a renter or owner, you may need a condo dispute lawyer because coop attorneys hired by co-ops and HOAs have a duty to represent the organization. In other words, they don’t always see a matter from your perspective as an individual renter or owner.
If you find yourself in a dispute that may possibly turn into real estate litigation, you should have the best legal advice available without having to spend big bucks just to get a consultation. Albert Maimone & Associates is a boutique law firm practicing in the five boroughs of New York City. They give you a free consultation and promise a review of your matter within 48 hours so you can determine your next moves. This way, you get the best and quickest service without the highest fees.
Why Do I Need Co-Op or Condominium Representation?
As an owner or renter at a co-op or condo, you may need representation if you get into conflict with neighbors, the co-op board or the HOA that requires the board or HOA to get involved. Issues vary for owners, renters and boards, which is why you should seek guidance from a third-party cooperative attorney who specializes in these matters. In addition to neighbor disputes, the other common issues a condo dispute lawyer may get involved with include:
You may need to have a coop attorney or condo lawyer whether you’re the one who has the complaint or when the complaint is against you. Co-ops and HOAs can both operate in complex ways that are difficult to understand. A timely and free consult from the best real estate law experts in the five boroughs can set your mind at ease and let you know how to move forward in the best way.
What People Say
Albert was a recommendation from a friend, and we were very grateful for this because Albert and his team were empathetic with our situation (this was an estate sale that was long and arduous). Albert went above and beyond for us by communicating with the estate lawyers, diligently reviewing and correcting all documents, negotiating on our behalf and most importantly was always willing to assist us (he was superb with his follow-up and replies to any of our inquiries). Thank you Albert! We highly recommend him!

Whether you’re a renter, a condo owner, or a co-op member, there are a common set of conflicts that can occur, such as:
- Disputes about subletting or using your apartment as an Airbnb
- Possible discrimination during or after the application process
- Unfair rules passed by the board or HOA

- Issues with the common areas
- Neighbor disputes
- Rules regarding pets
- Conflicts about noise
