Since my legal practice focuses on condominium and homeowners associations, I do not typically represent individual owners with grievances against those associations. When such owners contact me, I let them know that the King County Bar Association’s free legal consultations (http://www.kcba.org/pbs/legalhelp.aspx) and Lawyer Referral Service (206-267-7010; LRS@KCBA.org) are excellent resources. I also indicate to those owners that political processes like calling meetings, holding elections, and approving amendments can also be used to effect change in their communities.
