Epsten Grinnell & Howell is a California law firm that provides legal expertise to homeowners’ associations (HOAs) and property management firms. Based in Southern California and with offices in San Diego, Palm Desert and Murrieta, our attorneys have provided general association counsel; CC&R interpretation and amendment; rules enforcement; assessment collection services; resolution of architectural disputes; insurance reviews; litigation of civil matters; and senior and fair housing counsel to more than 1500 common interest developments.

Three of our attorneys have been inducted into the College of Community Association Lawyers, a select group of attorneys whose credentials and experience have been rigorously reviewed by the Community Associations Institute (CAI).

Our trial attorneys have recovered more than $250 million for clients in complex construction defect litigation cases, including those involving high-rise condominium towers, commercial buildings, hotels, and restaurants, statewide. Led by a multi-disciplinary team of attorneys and construction industry experts, we stay abreast of changes in building methods and materials, and continually update our knowledge on critical problem areas such as toxic mold. By maintaining a trial-ready posture throughout the litigation process, it is our objective to resolve the case expediently so that needed repairs, restoration or reconstruction can be undertaken as soon as possible.
