Who are the unsung heroes of condo and community associations?

Board members and property managers work tirelessly every day on behalf of the communities for which they serve. These individuals form the backbone of every community association. Michael Shifrin synchronizes his counsel and advice to help these heroes lead their communities with transparency, clear communication, thoughtfulness, and the creation of shared goals, expectations, and economic stability. Implementing this leadership style enables board members and property managers to earn the trust of their membership and build first-class communities.

A cornerstone of Shifrin’s legal practice is that it’s always easier to prevent problems than correct them. When managers and board members harness and implement this philosophy, they construct community cultures free from constant court intervention. Shifrin’s firm is more than capable of providing effective legal representation in the courts; however, experience has proven that the presence of steady and ongoing legal counsel at board meetings, on conference calls, and inboard workshops keeps associations on course. This, in turn, supports the pursuit of cultivating an association culture filled with honesty, harmony, and humanity.

How does Shifrin’s unique legal style work?

Successful condo and community associations invest the time and resources to create a strong leadership team consisting of the board, management, and legal counsel. Problems happen fast and come from all directions. With a strong leadership team in place, any condo or community association stands ready to face whatever challenge arises. Michael Shifrin believes it is the responsibility of association counsel to foresee legal pitfalls and to counsel the unsung heroes of associations in ways that reduce the potential for peril. Although it’s unrealistic to eliminate all legal hazards, sensible and pragmatic advice greatly reduces potential dangers. With a host of potential legal issues on the horizon, the benefit of having an experienced and thoughtful attorney part of the leadership team cannot be overstated.

Michael and his team at Shifrin Legal merge the resources, experience, and capability of a large law firm with the customized and personal touch of a boutique practice. Shifrin recognizes that the text of contracts and laws cannot, by themselves, resolve disputes within community associations. Rather, that understanding human psychology – the emotions that form the root of all behavior, the needs that drive us, and the desire to be treated fairly – is every bit as important for resolving community association disputes as understanding applicable law. Shifrin has built his practice on the principle that merging a mastery of human psychology with a mastery of the law can effectively defuse, deescalate, and resolve conflicts. A concept Michael refers to as practicing “The human side of law.”
