Chances are if you’re a resident of an Aventura-area condominium or homeowners’ association, you are familiar with the law firm of Eisinger Brown Lewis Frankel & Chaiet since they are the law firm of choice for over 600 local community associations. In 2017, the firm won the Florida Community Association Journal’s 2017 Readers’ Choice Award with Diamond Honors, recognizing the positive and productive contributions by community association service providers across Florida that demonstrate proficiency, reliability, fairness and integrity. With thousands of votes cast and almost 350 nominees last year, Eisinger Brown was proud to not only receive this prestigious award, but also to have received awards for excellence from the FCAJ for the prior three consecutive years.
And why is this firm a favorite provider of legal service by community managers, board members, fellow service partners, clients and the readers of the Florida Community Association Journal? It’s because they focus on truly helping their clients by ‘un-complicating’ matters, and giving them down-to-earth, best advice and guidance.
