FAQ s

Q: Can I be fired without a reason in Arizona?
A: Arizona is an "at-will" employment state, meaning employers can fire employees for almost any reason. However, they cannot fire you for an illegal reason, and that’s where wrongful termination laws apply.

Q: Can my HOA fine me without warning or notice?
A: No. Under Arizona law, HOAs must give written notice of the alleged violation and allow you to request a hearing before issuing a fine.

Q: Can you help if I’ve already started the process myself?

A: Absolutely. Whether you're just beginning, have already filed paperwork, or are in the middle of negotiations or litigation, we can step in at any stage
