After confirming both the facts and the law, Scott successfully negotiated a Settlement of a complex case to the mutual advantage of both parties. Aside from his intellect and legal experience, Scott's particular skill as a litigator is to attempt, whenever possible, to resolve disputes without litigation.

Scott successfully countered the claim by the Condo Association that I, as owner of a unit, was liable for unauthorized work carried out before I purchased the unit - the work to restore attic space above the unit has now been carried out at the expense of the Association. Scott clearly explained all options and was available to answer my many questions I can throughly recommend Scott both in terms of legal knowledge in this area, and in communication & action taken

I have had the good fortune to be referred to Scott Petersen for one matter over a year ago. Scott handled the matter very efficiently and we achieved an excellent result. I have engaged Scott on other matters all with similar very positive results. You could not have a better advocate.

I Was referred to Scott Petersen because of his extensive knowledge of HOA law. Our 14 year old association had a board that would have one set of standards for certain board members and another for other residents. The board VP had 3 and occasionally 4 vehicles through most of their residency at our town home association. Within weeks of selling off all but one of their vehicles, the board then decided to interpret our bylaws to read that owners/residents were now only allowed 2 vehicles per residence. They were selectively enforcing interpretations of our by laws that no longer affected the board. In addition, We were concerned with a sign that showed up at the pool restricting children from the use of the pool on weekends from 12-3pm. Scott quickly related to us that this restriction was not legal. Scott was hired and wrote a Four page letter addressing 4 major concerns relating to selective enforcement, carving out guidelines specifically to benefit individual board members and the breach of Federal HUD guidelines for decriminating against children. To date, three of these 4 concerns, have been remedied by the board based on Scott's letter to the board. I will continue to use Scott in the future should the need arise. I highly recommend his services.
