Attorneys who practice community association law are faced with similar challenges. Many attorneys and their staff are overwhelmed with current workloads, but see client expectations ever increasing. Many attorneys want to improve their productivity, but not if it means increasing their hours, adding overhead, or sacrificing the quality of their legal services.

Although attorneys are overloaded, there lies an untapped market that holds tremendous opportunity. Consider some interesting statistics compiled by the Community Associations Institute (CAI):

• An estimated 50 million people live in association-governed communities;

• there are an estimated 249,000 community associations nationally with approximately 19.9 million housing units; and

• approximately 6,000 to 8,000 new community associations are formed each year.

CAI’s findings show that the demands upon community association attorneys will only increase. And the attorneys who can meet these demands in the most cost-effective ways will be the beneficiaries of this growing market.

Technology has changed the face of business. And now it’s changing the way attorneys practice law. Riddle & Williams, P.C. (Riddle & Williams), one of the leading firms in the field of community association law, decided to use technology in order to meet the increasing demands and expectations of its clients.

To address its challenges, Riddle & Williams needed a user-friendly system that had the capability to:

• Manage its entire assessment collection practice, including the ability to track hundreds (now thousands) of delinquent accounts at every stage of the collection process

• Provide instant and ongoing information to its clients and managers regarding the status of each delinquent account

• Process delinquent accounts proactively to expedite the ultimate goal of collecting its client’s assessments

The system needed to have all of these capabilities without sacrificing accuracy or adding burdensome overhead.
