Trusted by HOA & Condo Boards Across Florida

As President of a very large condominium association, I can say with complete confidence that Robert has literally saved our Association. He has recovered over 50% of our delinquent condo owner fees. He has drafted amendments to our governing documents in an exemplary manner. He has moved us forward with difficult violations that previous attorneys could not resolve. After years of unreachable, non-responsive, and incompetent attorneys, we finally have a winner. He even answers his own phone!

Working with Robert Todd in this ever evolving industry has been a pleasure. He gives solid advice and is a wealth of knowledge in this industry. He is also able to speak with people who are growing their understanding without getting emotional or aggressive which is a testament to his overall character. I would partner with him at every opportunity, and when I see he is the attorney an association has trusted with their legal counsel, I feel more settled that I will have the resources I need to do my job well.
