Stephan O. Fjelstad

My practice centers on general counsel, contract drafting and dispute resolution for community association clients. Services include covenants interpretation & enforcement, construction contract drafting, major building repair & rehabilitation project guidance, association governance, and general vendor agreements review and revision. I have been serving community association clients principally since I joined this law firm in 2007. Immediately prior to joining this firm, I was owner of a law firm practicing commercial and real property litigation, and business advising. Before that I was a full time litigator with the Seattle law firm Tousley Brain Stephens and with the San Francisco firm Carroll, Burdick & McDonough. I have lectured and presented at Washington State Community Association Institute (WSCAI) educational events and at Continuing Legal Education seminars on various topics such as short-term rentals, view covenants and impairment law, general primers on homeowner association law, architectural design review and enforcement in community associations, non-profit corporation records policies and retention duties, construction contracts, and surface water diversion and lateral support law. I have contributed articles to the WSCAI Journal and other publications, and most recently have served on the WSCAI Task Force on Alternative Dispute Resolution.
