No Out-of-Pocket Cost in Most Cases
Unlike firms that require retainers and hourly fees, Rickel Law only gets paid when the owner pays. Often no upfront cost, no budgeting for collections — your association recovers 100% of assessments owed.
Typical Out-of-Pocket Cost
† Based on $300/hr × ~3 hours/month over 10 months — fees may be recoverable from owner
* 25% of recovered amount permanently lost to agency (per $10,000 collected)
** Collection charges applied to association balance, passed to owner — learn more

* Applies to collection of delinquent assessments. Other services (governing documents, general counsel, etc.) billed separately. Collection costs are applied to the association's balance then passed to the delinquent owner per governing documents and state law.
Compliant Owners Pay the Price
When $10,000 in assessments goes uncollected, your association must make up the shortfall. That burden falls on the owners who do pay their dues:
Don't let delinquent owners shift their burden to neighbors who pay on time.
