"Thank you so much for your help Joyce. With your excellent guidance, I was awarded the $5,000 deductible my HOA attempted to charge me for on a common area water damage claim. A large reward from such a small investment to obtain your expertise. Your advice and guidance was exactly what I needed to prepare for my interactions with the HOA. The $75 fee for services you charged would have cost me hundreds of dollars elsewhere. And your response time has been phenomenal! I was going in the wrong direction until I spoke with you. Thank you for helping me understand my role in all of this and the direction I have to take."

"Hello Dr. Joyce,

"Just to update you, my mother and I live in a mobile home park in CA. In October there was an incident involving my dog and the park manager. The manager came to my mobile home to look at a water pipe on the outside of my property that was leaking. The manager did not tell us he was coming by. When he showed up he came really close to our dining room window (no where near the leaking pipe!) and was looking into the window when he suprised my 80 year old mother and she yelled 'What are you doing', this alerted our dog Chopper that my mom was being threatened and he starting barking loudly and pushed the window screen out. The manager then starting cursing my mother and he threatened to take our deposit. I came home when I found out what happened and tried to talk to the park managers. They threatened me with a lawyer if I did not remove my 'vicious' dog that day. I took Chopper to our vet hoping they would calm down and I could talk with them about what happened. I waited 5 days and call them again and was again threatened with a lawyer.

"That was when I got on the internet and found your web site. Reading the testimonials was like reading my own story. From the start of the episode the park manager made me feel like I had no rights and that it did not matter what their behavior was.

"You called me back right away, which was shocking, I did not expect such a quick response or to get such great advice. You advised me on how to find the park owners, which I did. When I contacted the family who owned the park I was prepared on how to state my case because of the advice you had given me. They knew that their park managers were heavy handed!

"The next day they hired a new property manager to oversee the park managers. The new property manager and the oldest daughter of the owner came to my home and apologized to my mother for the behavior of the park managers. One week after that we were able to work out an agreement with the property manager and brought our Chopper back home!!! We also got them to agree that if any park staff needed to come to our home, it would not be the park manager who cursed at my mother.

"Needless to say, Chopper is a beloved member of our family and I feel that God lead me to your web page. I recommend your service to anyone having trouble with their home owner associations or mobile home park managers. Some of these people seem to have God complexes and they can be so aggressive. They can be very good at making you feel powerless. With your help, I no longer felt powerless.

"I can never thank you enough for all your help. God bless you for the work you are doing."

"I have taken my woman spirit back! You have made me a force to be dealt with. You and those wonderful books of yours have empowered me to be all of what used to be and more. I can't tell you what you've done for my life. I haven't feel this good for so many years. I'm never going to be a victim again. It's like heaven sent. Whatever you did, it came over me. My victim feelings went out the window. When I called the acting president of our HOA (they keep trying to pretend like we have one), I told him, "I'm tired of being kept in the dark. I want answers!" My husband didn't even recognize me."

"Thank goodness for Dr. Joyce Starr! She's a compassionate advocate for the homeowner in distress: the condo owner or HOA member facing bullying Board members who think they do not have to answer to the law, common sense or human decency. Dr. Starr helps you define your case against their tyranny. Reading her book (DEFEND YOUR CONDO AND HOMEOWNER RIGHTS) has been quite an education into just how nasty power-tripping boards can be. But having her direct input into my particular situation through her consultation service was an incredible benefit. Dr. Starr helped me deal with the particulars of a run away condo board train that seems, more often than not, in need of serious derailment. It was wonderful to be able to call on her for advice in such an inhumane and nearly diabolical fight."

"Dr. Joyce Starr goes the extra mile. I was amazed at how much assistance she provided in a one-hour tele-consultation."

--Nina L., California

"I do not think I could have ever made it through the Condo legal jungle as you did. Thus far yours was much thicker and filled with much larger animals of prey. Nevertheless, there is great comfort in finding a friend out there that has been there and done that."

--H. B, North Carolina

"Dr. Joyce helped me understand what I had to do to to prevent a lien on my home."
