    The Greater Williamsburg area is an exciting place to live and work, especially because of the large number of entrepreneurs who have built businesses from the ground up. These entrepreneurs have taken their passion and made it their profession. Many of us want to take that step. Before you begin, you need to think of the type of business entity you want to form. Our attorneys have extensive business experience, from small one-person companies to publicly traded major corporations. Our attorneys are among the leaders in Virginia in the representation of Common Interest Communities. These communities are generally referred to as "homeowners associations," or "HOAs," and "condominium associations." In the greater Williamsburg area alone, we provide legal assistance to nearly 100 associations. Our attorneys have successfully prosecuted and defended a wide array of civil disputes involving community association covenant enforcement, commercial transactions, construction disputes, contracts, real estate matters, boundary line and easement disputes, employment matters, antitrust litigation, copyright violations, administrative proceedings, and estate issues. Real Estate law encompasses a wide variety of matters, and our attorneys have vast experience to assist you. Whether you need assistance with a commercial or residential closing, or you have questions relating to residential or commercial leasing, we provide experienced advice and counsel to our clients. Zoning law can be a complicated maze of statutes and ordinances. We have ample experience in successful applications for rezoning, variance, and special use permit requests. Finally, commercial and residential construction provide special challenges with respect to financing issues and the construction process. We serve as counsel to various financial institutions.

William & Mary Law School – 2010/2011 Recap

January 12, 2012 on 1:29 pm | In Weekly Tweets | Comments Off on William & Mary Law School – 2010/2011 Recap

In addition to our regular duties, Neal Robinson and I teach at the William & Mary Law School. The extra work can be exhausting but also energizing as the next generation of lawyers begin their legal education.

This past academic year was special for me because it began with Dean Davison Douglas presenting me with the St. George Tucker Adjunct Professorship Award. This presentation was the second consecutive for our firm, as Neal won the 2009-2010 St. George Tucker.

In May, I was honored as the law school asked me to present the 2011 Spong Professionalism Award. I have included the video of my presentation as edited from the William & Mary Law School site.

Common Interest Communities and debt collection

January 8, 2012 on 10:31 pm | In Weekly Tweets | Comments Off on Common Interest Communities and debt collection

Susan will be making a short presentation at the Virginia Leadership Retreat this weekend regarding efforts by Common Interest Communities to collect debts. Afterwards, we will add her presentation outline to our online library.

As a short introduction to this presentation, the stated purpose of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (“FDCPA”) is “to eliminate abusive debt collection practices by debt collectors.” Although many of us do not equate efforts to collect homeowner association assessments with “debt collectors,” the FDCPA has been expanded by judicial interpretation to include these assessments as debts covered by the FDCPA.

Susan’s presentation will outline the penalties for failure to abide by the FDCPA and tips to ensure compliance. We will update this post next week, so you can educate yourself if you cannot make it to the conference this weekend.
