One of only two Wisconsin attorneys admitted to the national College of Community Association Lawyers, which recognizes excellence in the practice, Lydia represents condominium and homeowners associations (HOAs) throughout the state.
Lydia has extensive experience advising Wisconsin condominium association boards of directors on the myriad issues facing them, including declaration and bylaw amendments; assessment collection and foreclosure; rule-making, voting and governance issues; and HUD and fair housing issues.
Condominium residents typically live in close quarters, and that proximity can add a personal edge to legal issues. Lydia listens carefully and tactfully to clients and to opposing parties, keeping an open mind and anticipating counterarguments. No two cases are alike, nor are issues black and white. Questions typically have more than one answer, and Lydia is skilled at helping clients find the right answer for their needs.
She and her team organize multiple legal seminars for property managers and association board members each year, held in various parts of Wisconsin. Topics have included development and management of condominium associations, collections and post-foreclosure considerations, to name only a few.
