I am currently involved in an investigation of the circumstances surrounding a dispute involving HOA attorney Charles Maxwell. I would appreciate any information anyone has regarding their experiences with Mr. Maxwell.
Also, if anyone has any information on how Mr. Nelms is doing and any contact information for him or any family members who might be willing to speak about his experiences with Mr. Maxwell I would appreciate it.

Homeowner Associations will be the ruination of homeowners and their American dream.
Instead of having murderers on our streets, in alley ways and hidden corners, we now live amongst them in our communities.
Why? Because our government allowed, voted, and put into existence...HOA's.
HOA's are pushing homeowner(s) to commit drastic crimes against others and themselves.
People brought up with decent values will keep their properties appearance up because they've had a good foundation and family environment with which to grow up in.
People who come from homes where their parents were not a good influence on them because they were either on drugs, avid alcoholics, or came from dysfunctional families, have no idea of what "value" means. Therefore, you get a mixture of good and bad in communities.
What we tend to forget is that not all people were brought up in good neighborhoods or had decent parents to depend on, thus...the trashy neighbors and problems begin when they move into an HOA controlled community. I live next door to such people and my Association doesn't seem to be doing anything about it.
Yes, they collect their yearly fees faithfully, send out letters of violations, possibly fines at times but nothing rarely gets resolved when you have problems with "rental" neighbors or trashy homeowners.
I came from a dysfunctional family but I fought to make myself a decent living. I purchased a home in 1994 and I take care of the landscaping by myself. I often find myself cleaning up for both houses of each side of me because the people are obvious trash and are used to living as such. Where am I going with this?
I dispise HOA's and I do not believe they should exist. However, I believe the American citizens are getting angry at the wrong people -- it's our Government we should be rebelling against.
It's our Politicians we should be writing to. It's our Governors and Mayors we should be meeting with to discuss our heightened anger with the HOA's existence.
Our Government allowed the HOA's to be formed to take the extra money burden away from their state budgets and to put an extra fee/burden on the homeowner to pay. Why are we paying for the water washes in our communities. We pay house taxes and association fees pay taxes on the water basins in our community. We're being double-taxed, people and we can't even claim it!
I feel sorry and pray for the homeowners who kill themselves over losing their houses to the HOA's. I do not feel sorry for the Homeowner Associations, Management Company or Board members when they are killed because if they declined to exist, they wouldn't be harmed.
I would not volunteer to be a Board member with all the anger that is out there today. Your life is in danger.
All this amounts to is greed by Lawyers and Associations. Who pays the attorney fees every time there is a lawsuit brought against your HOA? The homeowner...stupid.
Stop the lawsuits and start protesting with the right people even if it means going to Washington, DC to be heard!
We should not lose our homes to any Association. They do not pay our mortgage payment or taxes. Let's get rid of them through our protests to the government before more killings start and ruin more citizens lives.
Join me in this fight and start WRITING...thank you and God Bless America!

Just following up...........how is Mr. Nelms doing? Does anybody know if he is still in the hospital? Would love to drop him a note of support. We sure hope he is doing OK.
The blood of this man's hands is on every legislator who ever passed an HOA bill to take away and squelch homeowner's rights to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness in one's own home.
Good men and women are labeled hero's for defending America's homefront. Should defending one's "home sweet home" front really be any different? If we have no simple freedoms at home, then where do we?
Home is one's absolute last bastion of sanctity and it is under calculated attack by an unscrupulous HOA housing industry hell bent on bleeding every last drop of equity out of it.
We all endeavour to pass down a legacy not a liability to our children and their children. And a home in an HOA is laden with liability.
Mr. Nelms - your anquish is ours and as homeowner advocates - that is what motivates us to continue fighting to protect homeowners rights across America.
Hang in there.

Thanks for showing the world the modest, neat home of Robert Nelms. We hope he recovers and Arizonians will make these lawyers and board return his home.
What planet does this judge, Jeffrey Woodburn come from ? How does he justify ordering the Sheriff to turf an elderly disabled veteran, out on the street and selling his shelter and belongings to pay the gold digging lawyers and board members
Politicians and judges are paid by the people...BUT IN AMERICA..........
Politicians also get paid by the lawyers and "special interests" to write laws. Politicians should not have the right to write laws that give their lawyer donors dictatorial powers to take homes, belongings and life savings of citizens.
Judges also get paid by the lawyers and "special interests" to do justice NOT injustice.
Why are both lawyers and judges "officers of the court"? Could this be why they can conspire and operate like terrorists living off citizens they jointly plunder .
PEOPLE SHOULD:
Vote, recall, expose, report to enforcement bodies (make the reports public), all politicians and judges who are abusing governmental and judiciary powers.
Expose, report to enforcement bodies (make the reports public), all lawyers who are misusing their business licenses.
If the enforcement bodies don't do their jobs, work to cut off their funding from government budgets.
THE PEOPLE , not special interests, should be involved in legislation and budgets.

This is a disgracful incident that should never have happened. A resident of a community ruled by a power hungry HOA in Arizona,
I hope that government will open its eyes and expediate some regulation by the state over these out of control associations.

CCR'd to the brink of suicide again??
Every Arizona legislator as well as the HOA board of directors, the management company, and the hoa lawyer should be held responsible for driving this man to the brink of suicide. if i were his surviving family, i would bring an action against each and every one of them individually.
Having been through the HOA litigation vortex, i can relate to how this can happen. when your absolute last bastion of freedom and comfort is under attack by unscrupulous greed and corruption perpetuated by the legalized housing scam we call homeowner associations - it is the ultimate tragedy of the commons.
While i give this brave man some credit for not blowing away those who tortured him in his last hours before he took his own life - will the next person be as strong?
