DCS represents homeowners and homeowner associations in Arizona and California. Each state has unique statutes governing construction defects and the litigation process. This section provides an overview of these processes and what our firm will do when representing your association in a construction defect claim.

After your community association hires our firm, we thoroughly investigate the suspected defects and evaluate the Association's legal position. The review usually includes the following steps:
Before the lawsuit can be filed, the Association must first comply with the requirements of A.R.S. §33-2002. This statute generally requires the association to hold a meeting if its members, and disclose in writing prior to the meeting being conducted the following
a. How the action will be funded
b. All demands, notices and any offers to settle.
Dicks, Coglianese & Shuquem will attend every homeowner meeting upon request and annual homeowners association meetings to advise and update the membership and provide continuity for any new board members.
Dicks, Coglianese & Shuquem will update the membership in writing either on a monthly or bi-monthly basis outlining the progress of the Association's claim.
Dicks, Coglianese & Shuquem will file a formal complaint (if matter is unresolved in typical 180 day CC§1375 process) and continue to prosecute the CLAIM.
The following will occur after the complaint is filed:
