AREAS OF PRACTICE
Community Association Law
Nicolette A. Kramer is committed to building lasting relationships with her clients. She understands that associations are subject to a dynamic legal environment. By combining a fundamental understanding of the big picture with the complexity of daily interactions and experiences, Nicolette provides proactive solutions in areas affecting community associations, including the recovery of assessments through collections and foreclosures; enforcement of association covenants and restrictions; and interpretation and amendment of governing documents.
Services
Expertise. Intuition. Ingenuity.
Governing Documents
The restrictions, requirements, policies, and procedures contained within the provisions of community association governing documents have the largest impact on a subdivision's operations. When those provisions are ambiguous, outdated, or inadequate to address changing circumstances within the community, it may become necessary to amend the governing documents.
Governing documents can be overwhelming and complicated, which is why it’s crucial to take an informed approach to their interpretation and amendment. Through this service offering, you can count on Nicolette to guide you in every step of the process.
Covenant Enforcement
Nicolette recognizes the importance of enforcing an association's rules and regulations. Avoiding unnecessary litigation should be the primary focus for any community. Presuit alternative dispute resolution attempts are often required, but these interactions help promote moral and financial harmony.
​
The majority of disputes impacting associations may often be resolved through skilled representation, negotiation, and dispute resolution procedures. But when litigation becomes necessary, Nicolette provides her clients with aggressive and responsive litigation services.
​
​
Collections
Assessment revenue is the lifeblood of every planned community. There is often a legal duty to collect delinquent assessments to protect the community.
​
Nicolette has proven herself to be a leader in collecting delinquent assessments for homeowners' associations and condominium associations. Her knowledge and experience provide efficient and diligent debt collection.
Mortgage Foreclosure
When borrowers stop paying their mortgage, they often stop paying their assessments resulting in debts owed to the communities. Nicolette will work with lenders to speed up their foreclosure proceedings. This process helps get a new owner quickly into the property.
​
Interpretation of the underlying mortgage documents, an association's governing documents, and Florida law plays an important role in the successful recovery of monies toward unpaid assessments during or after a mortgage foreclosure. Nicolette welcomes the opportunity to meet with her clients at any time to walk through the mortgage foreclosure and estoppel processes.
​
Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy is intended to help the honest debtor seek a fresh start while treating all creditors equally. Unfortunately, owners acting in bad faith may file for bankruptcy just to stop a foreclosure sale.
​
Nicolette seeks to protect her clients' secured interests by timely filing proofs of claim and moving for relief from stay so collection efforts may proceed in a timely manner.
​
​It is important to seek competent legal representation when an owner goes into bankruptcy to secure pre-petition debt, but it is just as important to correctly calculate post-petition amounts due and owing. Attempting to collect, enforce, or otherwise pursue an owner for pre bankruptcy petition debt could be a violation of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code.
