Founded in 1990, Nagle & Zaller, P.C. is widely recognized as a leader in the field of community association law, both in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area and nationwide. Our attorneys, paralegals, and staff are all highly skilled professionals who understand the legal needs of condominiums, homeowners associations and cooperative associations and who are committed to providing innovative, responsive, thoughtful and cost-effective legal services to those clients.

We at Nagle & Zaller, P.C. devote the predominant portion of our practice to the representation of condominium, cooperative and homeowner associations. Based on personal and professional experience, we work with associations and their boards of directors to establish sound organizational and administrative practices, and we endeavor to insure compliance with the association's governing documents and with applicable local, state and federal law. We provide legal advice regarding governance issues, governing document interpretation, assessment collection, rules enforcement, architectural control and other association matters, and we advise and assist associations in standardizing procedures, drafting and negotiating contracts, revising governing documents and reviewing insurance coverage. In providing these services, we are sensitive to "people problems" and work with boards to establish procedures we hope will avoid or, if necessary, correct problems both within the association and with third parties-without the need to resort to costly and time-consuming litigation. However, we provide complete and highly skilled litigation services including trial and appellate work, should that become necessary.
