Founded by attorney Michael Kushner, MBK Chapman is California’s leading homeowner-side HOA law firm representing homeowners against abusive HOAs. With decades of courtroom and transactional experience, the firm delivers results in HOA, business, and real estate law through strategic, practical, and aggressive advocacy.

Kushner pioneered homeowner-side HOA representation long before it became a recognized field. He built the systems and legal frameworks that now define how other homeowner-side law firms practice in California. At MBK Chapman, every case is handled with precision, preparation, and leverage designed to force compliance and real change.

The firm’s attorneys bring together deep knowledge of the Davis-Stirling Act, advanced litigation strategy, and real-world insight into HOA dynamics. They combine negotiation, documentation, and timing to achieve outcomes that matter. Every case begins with a plan built around the client’s goals and ends with a result that restores power to homeowners.

MBK Chapman represents clients across California in HOA disputes, business conflicts, and complex real estate matters. From enforcing homeowners’ statutory rights and exposing board misconduct to resolving commercial disagreements, the firm’s attorneys are known for turning pressure into progress and strategy into success.

Attorney Michael Kushner also hosts the podcast HOA HELL, California’s trusted source for HOA reform, and is the author of HOA HELL | California Homeowners’ Definitive Guide to Beating Bad HOAs. Available for pre-order on Amazon and releasing December 15, 2025, HOA HELL is already one of the most anticipated legal self-help books of the year.
