Areas of Focus

At Harker Law, we believe that excellent legal representation should also feel like a genuine partnership. We welcome the opportunity to learn about your situation and explore how we can help.

Boundary Line Disputes

Property line conflicts can strain relationships and cloud title. We help clients resolve boundary and encroachment disputes through practical negotiation and, when necessary, skilled litigation.

Adverse Possession

Whether you are asserting a claim to property or defending against one, we provide clear, straightforward guidance on your rights and the best strategy for your situation.

Transaction Disputes

When a real estate transaction doesn't go as planned — due to undisclosed defects, contract breaches, or title issues — we work diligently to protect your investment and pursue the resolution you deserve.

HOA & Condominium Association Representation

We serve as trusted legal counsel to homeowners associations and condominium associations, advising boards on governance, CC&R enforcement, assessment collection, and the full range of owner-related matters.

Easements

From drafting access and utility easements to resolving contested easement disputes, we handle these matters with the precision and care they require.

Residential Community Development

We partner with developers and landowners in creating new residential communities from the ground up, including the preparation of CC&Rs, plat documents, and association governing documents.

What Our Clients Say

  • Last Fall our HOA Board attended a seminar on homeowner association law where Kevin Harker was a featured speaker.  We were impressed by his knowledge of homeowner association law and his rapport with the audience during the question and answer session. Our HOA needed to update its bylaws and governing documents and after some due diligence, engaged Kevin to help us.  He was responsive and timely completed the assignment.  Kevin produced high quality work. He was also kind enough to attend a Board meeting for free and explain changes to those present.  Kevin offers flat rates rather than hourly billing.  He is bright, yet practical and provides sound advice.  I  recommend Kevin without reservation.

    Larry

  • Our Association has been using Kevin Harker and we are all truly amazed at how responsive he is.  He is also so much more approachable than any other  lawyer we have used in the past.  For quite some time I have personally subscribed to his blog, which routinely provides very helpful advice and guidance for Associations and Board Members.  His flat fee model is actually quite refreshing.  I would highly recommend Kevin[.]

    Mark

  • I wanted you to know of the many positive responses I received from members after the meeting.  Several people approached me and expressed their appreciation for your information, your ability to present the information in a way they could understand, and your great attitude.
