    About

    Professional Property Management can be a complex industry to navigate. HOA's, Apartment buildings, and other types of Community Associations ( common interest communities and multi-family properties), such as highrise condominiums encounter legal challenges often. Whether it is a slip and fall, criminal act, operational mistakes, procedural problems, violation of fiduciary duty, and or any probelm, I may be able to help your firm delve deep into the details that may help your case. If involved early enough in your case, I may be able to assist in your strategy for upcoming depositions.

    With nearly two decades in Florida's community association management industry, I have attained the necessary experience to assist my clients through just about any situation. I have handled a broad spectrum of construction projects for luxury properties in Miami and the Tampa Bay area. Those have given me an edge in this ever-changing field. Helping legal firms, insurance carriers, frustrated homeowners, and board members by sharing strategies is my specialty. In-depth analysis into community association procedures and practices are part of my daily work. In recent years, I have been engaged to review legal cases that have ranged in different topics such as premises liability, negligence, wrongful death, and slip and fall and others.

    I am a retired law enforcement officer, military veteran, and an experienced executive manager for communities in Florida. Creating collaborative relationships with my consulting clients is indeed a great experience for me. My work style is key to achieving clarity for clients seriously interested in analyzing their property's procedures. If your case involves a property management company, board of directors, an HOA, a condominium association, or details relating to such, please reach our to me directly for an initial discussion.

    I have recently published a book concerning operations at Community Associations and their finances. You can find it on my website CondoDetective.com or directly on Amazon. It is titled "HOA Steps to Preventing Theft, Embezzlement, and Fraud".
