Collection work gets expensive when everyone has to hunt for the same records twice.

A little organization helps an attorney assess the debt, the agreement, prior payment activity, and prior collection efforts without spending unnecessary time reconstructing the history.

Our free collections checklist was built for contractors and HOAs preparing for that process.

HOA boards make a lot of decisions that never reach a courtroom.

Enforcement, collections, owner disputes, governing-document issues, and property concerns can still create legal exposure long before litigation enters the picture.

Our newsletter covers those practical legal issues in plain language, along with construction disputes and other civil litigation topics.

Sign up if those are issues you deal with in your work.

Real estate litigation covers a surprisingly wide range of disputes.

Boundary lines. Drainage. Ownership claims. HOA enforcement. Title issues.

They may all involve property, but the documents and legal rights at issue differ from one dispute to the next.

Our blog walks through common forms of real estate litigation and what puts each category on a different track.

Legal spend should track the problem you're trying to solve.

In a construction dispute, litigation may be warranted. A narrower approach may protect the business objective at a lower cost. The contract, evidence, dollars at stake, and business risk should drive the recommendation.

If your construction dispute needs a realistic legal assessment, contact McClain DeWees at 502.749.2388 in Louisville or 812.725.7533 in Indiana.

Before sending a collection issue to an attorney, pull the paperwork together.

For contractors and HOAs, that may include:

• The governing contract or agreement
• Invoices and account history
• Payment records
• Written demands
• Relevant correspondence

Our free collections checklist gives you a practical list of what to gather before legal action enters the picture.

“Access” can cover a lot of ground on paper.

An easement may permit a driveway, utility line, shared road, drainage, or another specific use. Trouble comes when one owner reads that permission broadly and the other reads it narrowly.

That dispute usually comes back to the recorded language and the history of how the property has been used.

Our blog looks at where easement rights stop.

Most HOA board members volunteer to handle community business, not to see their own names added to a lawsuit.

The chance of exposure is increased when a director acts outside board authority, makes personal promises, or treats association business as a solo decision. Formal votes, accurate minutes, communication protocols, and appropriate D&O coverage can help reduce that risk.

Read our blog for a look at board member exposure.

HOA board members make decisions for an association as a group. Side promises, personal directives, and informal email exchanges can blur that process and draw individual directors into a dispute.

Our newsletter shares practical legal insight for boards handling enforcement, vendor relationships, owner communication, and governance. Subscribe for monthly updates.

Construction disputes become expensive when the parties argue without documented proof.

Contracts, approved changes, payment applications, project photos, schedules, inspection reports, and written communications help identify:

- What each party promised
- What changed
- Who approved the change
- What work remains
- What amount is disputed

McClain DeWees, PLLC evaluates construction disputes with cost and resolution in mind. Call (502) 749-2388 to discuss your situation.

Retainage protects unfinished obligations. Withholding too much or holding it too long can create a separate payment dispute.

The details depend on the contract, project type, work status, payment history, and applicable law. Owners need support for the amount withheld. Contractors need records showing what they earned and what remains open.

Our blog post explains how Indiana and Kentucky projects approach retainage disputes.
