is Arizona’s only AV Rated law firm devoted exclusively to community association law and litigation. Our firm represents hundreds of community associations throughout Arizona, with the majority located in Maricopa County. Despite being Arizona’s only AV Rated law firm devoted exclusively to community association law and litigation, we take pride in the fact that we have some of the lowest billing
rates in the industry. Our rates are as much as $115.00 per hour less than other firms limiting some or all of their legal practice to community association law and litigation. In fact, a Maricopa County Superior Court Judge recently indicated that our firm’s legal fees are routinely used as a benchmark for evaluating legal fee applications of similarly situated community association law firms due to our rating, reputation in the community and reasonable billing rates. As a result of our experience, reputation in the legal community and billing rates, we have adopted the slogan: “More Qualified, Less Expensive”. Moreover, because we are a service oriented business, we believe “service” is paramount. We feel an obligation to provide superior legal services in a prompt and cost efficient fashion. We believe each of our clients should be treated as if they are our only client, regardless of size. Background
Our firm was first incorporated on December 31, 1990. Maxwell has been involved as a lawyer in the community association law arena since 1984. While our firm possesses the highest independent rating given to lawyers, we are not the largest in the industry. We have intentionally regulated and controlled our growth in order to ensure the highest quality of legal services rendered. Our firm not only prides itself on its reputation and billing rates, but also on the attentiveness to its clients and prompt response to our clients’ needs. Many of our firm’s clients routinely compliment us on the prompt return of telephone calls, prompt turn around of legal services, and the quality of work product received. Our firm’s clients range from small upscale associations consisting of fewer than 10 units, to large master-planned associations consisting of thousands of units and integrated commercial elements. Experience
The attorneys in our firm have over 50 years of combined experience in the area of community association law and litigation. Our firm has attorneys with a broad range of experience, enabling us to efficiently counsel and provide valuable legal advice on a multitude of issues faced by our clients. Qualifications
In addition to the biographies of each attorney submitted herewith and the firm’s AV Rating, our firm recognizes Mr. Maxwell as one of only a handful of attorneys in Arizona admitted into the Community Associations Institute’s (CAI) prestigious College of Community Association Lawyers.
