For almost 30 years, he has represented homeowners (not HOA boards) in some of the most hard-fought HOA disputes in the state.

Over the course of his nearly 30-year career, his firm has counseled thousands of clients throughout the State of California regarding all manner of HOA-related disputes and litigation. He has also authored numerous articles on HOA law from the homeowner's perspective, lectured widely on business and HOA litigation strategies, and established himself as a trusted voice for Californians battling abusive associations.Outside the courtroom, Michael is the host of the popular podcast HOA HELL, where he translates complex HOA disputes into clear strategies that homeowners can use to fight back. His work through the show has expanded his reach far beyond his law firm, giving thousands of homeowners across the state tools to understand and enforce their rights.Beyond the law, Michael is a third-degree black belt in Kenpo Karate and an avid woodworker. On any given day, when he's not working, Michael can be found either in his woodshop where he builds custom chessboards, charcuterie and cheese boards, and fine tea boxes, or teaching karate to others. His greatest pride, however, is his son Logan, who will soon be starting law school and plans to join MBK Chapman to continue the mission of holding California HOAs accountable.
