At Lewis Gianola, we are proud to be the preeminent law firm in WV, OH, and PA, for community and homeowners association (HOA) matters. Our attorneys bring decades of specialized experience representing associations, developers, and individual homeowners in all legal aspects of community living. This practice is not a sideline for us, it’s a core focus. We have developed one of the largest and most respected footprints in the state, and we continue to lead the way in shaping this dynamic and highly specialized area of law.
Our firm has represented more than a thousand homeowners associations, planned communities, and condominium developments. We understand the complexities that arise at every stage of a community’s lifecycle, from initial development and governance structuring to long-term operations, member disputes, and litigation. One of our firm’s most notable achievements includes litigating a landmark HOA case that continues to influence how common interest community law is interpreted across West Virginia and beyond.
We provide a full range of services designed to meet the operational, governance, and compliance needs of modern homeowners associations. Our services include:
Our litigators bring a long track record of success in resolving complex disputes involving homeowners associations. We represent clients in construction defect cases, breach of contract actions, rule enforcement claims, fiduciary duty litigation, and other high-stakes matters. We know what it takes to resolve conflicts efficiently, through negotiation when possible, and aggressive litigation when necessary.
We leverage modern legal technology to provide efficient, cost-effective service. Our systems allow for real-time document access and streamlined communication with board members and managers. We prioritize responsiveness and transparency, ensuring that our clients are informed, empowered, and legally protected at every step.
At Lewis Gianola, we understand that successful association governance requires more than just legal compliance, it demands practical advice, strategic foresight, and experienced legal counsel that can navigate every challenge that arises. Our goal is to help community associations operate smoothly, fulfill their fiduciary obligations, and serve the best interests of their members.
