As a former Board Director in my HOA, I worked with Stephen Smith for over four years. I found Stephen respectful, timely, easy to communicate with, and very helpful in answering my questions about the HOA statutes. When I didn't understand, he was always willing to walk me through the information until it was clear to me. Stephen was able to draft our first policies for collections and fines. He reviewed governing documents and made suggestions to help align with statutes. I would highly recommend Stephen to any HOA who needed solid and easy to understand information to assist them in their duties.
I highly recommend Sound Legal Partners/Stephen Smith for any real estate law issues. We had a difficult case but were successful. He was very patient w/ my mother, who is a senior. He is incredible when it comes to case law and doing his research/homework. He made the opposition look like they were standing still. My family had a great experience with Stephen and I'm sure he provides all of his clients with the same level of service. Also, he is priced fairly. I believe there were a few hours he didn't charge us for when we needed a quick call or email.
We worked with Sound Legal Partners prior to buying a house. Stephen Smith is knowledgeable, answered all of our questions, and helped us to understand the risks. We left feeling more confident of what our decision would be. Their office is also very calming since it's located on the waterfront.
Our Air-Space Condominium Association enthusiastically recommends the Sound Legal Partner’s legal team. They have provided our Board legal services dealing with a wide variety of situations involving code enforcement, foreclosures, and governing document interpretations, with insightful, thoughtful, and creative solutions. As a small, 94 home community, their affordable services, have returned multiple benefits and excellent recovery of funds owed. They have worked to provide real value and are always available to provide ideas and suggestions when a new situation arises, or provide guidance on best practice recommendations.
Affordable, Skillful, Creative, and always friendly while being a great resource to our community, no matter what the need is.
Always a winning combination, we are so happy to have Sound Legal Partners LLC providing our legal services

I serve as the President of a not for profit homeowners association, and we have used Sound Legal for both collections and general counsel. We have been working with Rachel and Theresa from the start and are very pleased with their work. They are quick to reply and give recommendations to the board. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing legal advice. They are great!
