Homeowners Associations
California law requires ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) as a first step in resolving most homeowner or homeowner association disputes. In addition to California Civil Codes 1354 and 1375 (“the Calderon process”), AB1700 goes into effect July 1, 2002. This new law, which pertains to common-interest developments of 20 units or more, forces developers, insurance companies and subcontractors to be bound by pre-litigation ADR processes even if they choose not to participate.
ARC offers homeowners associations a distinguished panel of retired judges and attorneys from which to select a mediator, arbitrator or special master. Our ADR experts have resolved thousands of cases and specialize in disputes among homeowners association members, boards and directors, as well as construction defects, insurance coverage and breach of contract cases. Our knowledgeable staff can help you choose the best neutral and hearing format. Save time and money and preserve critical relationships by resolving your dispute at ARC.

Linda L Mitchell
Honorable Mary Thornton House mediated over our impossible case. I never thought this could get resolved, as we were stuck on both sides for almost 4 years. Honorable Mary Thornton House listened to both sides and was able to communicate in a way that both sides understood. She was tenacious, diligent and had attention to details with the accounting and figures presented. We went back and forth into the night. But, she was able to calmly able to get a resolution on both sides. The honorable judge said that in ruling a case in court. You have an instant friend and a permanent enemy. In this case, I received a fair resolution. Grateful, that I did not have to go to court. Glad that our case got resolved. I highly recommend honorable Mary Thornton House
