Property Owner Litigation
In Metro Atlanta and surrounding counties of northern Georgia, real estate is being sold and developed at a brisk pace. Some developers were overambitious and cannot fulfill their promises on time, leaving buyers in limbo. Some overextended developers promised amenities such as clubhouses, swimming pools and rec centers that never materialized. Some did not have the resources or governmental approvals for basic necessities such as roads, sewer or electricity. And some builders simply absconded with the money. These scenarios have played out across America, and the nationwide credit crisis means more property owners will be left holding an empty bag.
Attorney Robert Aitkens and his legal team organize property owner groups or represent homeowner associations in bringing legal action for breach of contract and fraud. In state and federal courts, he has filed lawsuits for damages, initiated liens against builders' assets, secured injunctive relief and negotiated with developers for completion of what they started. Mr. Aitkens provides capable advocacy in litigation, mediation and arbitration.
Aitkens & Aitkens has also represented reputable developers in lawsuit defense, negotiated settlements and permitting/regulatory hurdles.
Homeowner Association Law
Property owner litigation was an outgrowth of Mr. Aitkens' long experience in counseling homeowner associations. Since 1997, he has provided a range of legal services to HOA's, condo associations, property owners and developers:
