Rembaum’s Association Roundup: So Your Association Changed Attorneys…Now What?
posted by Jeffrey Rembaum, Esq., Kaye, Bender, Rembaum, November 3, 2015

The board is considering a special assessment at our upcoming meeting. I would like to vote because this special assessment is a very visible issue in our community.
