Dear Bruce, 

We have an excellent attorney here is the Bay Area who has worked with us on
a number of projects. Her name is Karen Tiedenmann at the firm Goldfarb &
Lipman in Oakland, CA , 510-836-6336. You can tell her I recommended her.
Their firm also works with lots on nonprofit housing developers and
redevelopment agencies, so they are very familiar with affordable housing
issues.  Karen has been a real pleasure to work with.

I believe that Chris Scott Hanson also had an attorney in Portland that he
recommends. Obviously, every state has its own weird laws, so I think it
good to have an attorney familiar with your state. But I also think it is
useful for any attorney new to cohousing to talk to someone familiar with
how others have dealt with the legal issues.

Subject: [C-L]_Legal services consultant


We will be using services of an attorney throughout our cohousing project
and do have a local attorney who has background in real estate law that we
will be working with.  I was wondering if it would be beneficial to have an
attorney that has specific experience with cohousing available as a
consultant to our local attorney. Does a person like this exist and would we
save time and money redesigning the wheel having such a consultant?  I would
appreciate any thoughts on this matter and any references.

Thanks,

Bruce Hecht
