A WORD TO OUR MANAGEMENT COMPANY FRIENDS
Are you frustrated in that the present attorney for the Association does not give your Board or you an adequate explanation of the status of certain collection matters or you cannot get a prompt return phone call from the attorney for the Association who is presumably seeking to collect assessments or enforce the rules and regulations?
That will not happen with Meisner & Associates, P.C. Nor will you go months without getting a status report as our firm strives to keep up to date on every collection and Bylaw enforcement matter that our office is handling by having periodic status meetings for all of the attorneys and paralegals assisting our clients on these various matters. In fact, if there is ever a time when you have not been able to get hold of the attorney or paralegal assisting you and/or your Association client, Bob Meisner will be happy to take your call on his cell phone no matter where he is or what time you are calling. No kidding!

Primerus Law Firms
Primerus promotes various principles that it believes any good lawyer should adhere to under what it calls the “Six Pillars.” The Six Pillars are:
- Integrity. Clients should be able to entrust their sensitive legal matters to someone with high standards.
- Excellent Work Product. Even more than winning or losing, a lawyer should be sure that records are kept reliably, communications are clear and accountable, promises are kept, and there is an adequate amount of follow-through. The lawyer should have knowledge and expertise in his or her specialty.
- Reasonable Fees. They should be based on what is customary in a given area.
- Continuing Education. Education doesn't end with a law degree. Continuing Legal Education is critical to staying at the top.
- Civility. As officers of the court, lawyers must show respect to others including opposing attorneys.
- Community Service. The law, fundamentally, exists to hold communities together. Good attorneys must give back to their communities, including pro bono service.
Our firm strives to excel in those six pillars, which gives us an opportunity to improve the legal profession.
