Lead Counsel: Michael Timbes

Homeowners Association Attorneys

Thurmond Kirchner & Timbes, provides representation and counsel to homeowner and condominium associations throughout South Carolina.

Our firm has had the privilege of representing many condominium, property owner, town home and homeowner associations over the years.

Our skilled team of attorneys, led by lead counsel Michael Timbes, and supported by excellent paralegal and administrative staff, has a great deal of experience in assisting home owners associations and other property owners.

Some of the matters we handle most frequently regard transition from developer to owner control, interpretation and enforcement of covenants and other governing legal documents.  We also consult on developer turnover issues, advising boards of directors in regard to their legal rights and obligations under the association governing documents, revising and negotiating contracts, assisting with zoning and land use issues, collections and litigation matters.

Homeowners’ associations (HOAs) exist to establish and enforce rules intended to provide a level of conformity for people living within an established community, whether it be a condominium, a co-op or a common interest development (CID) of stand-alone houses. But even in these communities with their covenants, conditions and restrictions, sometimes conflicts can arise when the expectations of a homeowner and the association clash.

Sometimes, conflicts arise between homeowners associations and their members, and policies need to be enforced. Thurmond Kirchner & Timbes, P.A. can serve as the association’s general counsel and provide your condominium or homeowners’ association with cost-effective, high quality representation in the following areas:

• Creating and amending association’s bylaws, covenants, conditions, and restrictions
