Our firm's experienced collections department adeptly handles the collection process for our association clients. The Dungan Law Firm assists association clients in the preparation of collection policies and procedures. Our firm files liens on behalf of our association clients and institutes foreclosure proceedings or lawsuits against non-paying owners when necessary.

The Dungan Law Firm works to maximize the market success of the development and still protect developer clients from potential litigation.

Search for your association's name on the website below and confirm that your association is in good standing with the Secretary of State and that your association's registered agent information is accurate. Robert Dungan or Erin Dunnuck are willing to serve as your association's registered agent at no charge. Many associations find it advantageous to have our attorneys serve as the association's registered agent to avoid changing the registered agent information when new corporate officers are elected.
