Hughes Gill Cochrane Tinetti, P.C. (HGCT) provides high-quality, affordable legal representation to community associations throughout Northern and Central California. The firm counsels hundreds of homeowners associations as well as residential and commercial property owners in both general representation and litigation matters, with significant experience in urban in-fill projects and high-rise developments and the unique and varied issues they each present. General representation matters include governing document revision and enforcement, election procedures, contract drafting and review, statutory and corporate compliance, and dispute resolution. Litigation specialties include construction defect, landslide, inverse condemnation, real estate, business, insurance matters, and member disputes. Unlike many other firms, construction defect representation continues beyond case resolution. HGCT attorneys are available throughout the post-claim repair process, can prepare and review construction contracts, and will provide guidance throughout reconstruction. HGCT attorneys are recognized experts in the community association field and regularly serve as featured speakers at educational programs sponsored by the California Association of Community Managers (CACM), the Educational Community for Homeowners (ECHO), and the Community Associations Institute (CAI) on both a statewide and national level. The attorneys also publish numerous articles and checklists to assist community associations in meeting their extensive and complex legal obligations. Headquartered in Walnut Creek with a staffed office in San Francisco, HGCT is large enough to handle the most complex cases, yet responsive enough that clients can easily contact the principal attorney handling their matter.
