Robert L Tankel PA

Would rate a zero if possible. Company refused to call me back in reference to my questions on the letter I received. I had to leave multiple voicemails for someone Call me back just to tell me I needed to email. I now have emails I have gone unanswered since May 10 and again on June 21. I am positive. It is the correct email because I received correspondence with this email earlier this year. They will refuse to return your call for so long that your “attorney fees” Will double. Absolutely unprofessional… These people do not care and just want your money. My attorney fees for a $120 late HOA due (that I was not aware of) turned into over $1400+ . I’ve lived here for an entire year and never had to pay HOA dues because they were being taken out of my mortgage. All of a sudden, this year, something changed and I was not notified… How am I supposed to pay HOA dues I am not made aware of!? This law group seems like a bunch of crooks. ***response to business reply*** I received nothing in the mail prior to your notice. Neither did many homeowners for our HOA That has nothing to do with your inability to return an email since May 10th… and dragging your feet on responses so that more fees are added.

Bob has gone well beyond anything I could have ever expected. He is someone who actually cares. He knows the law and expects everyone to follow it. This Thanksgiving I’m thankful for Bob.

I am not a client, the client is an HOA that made it difficult for me to pay them. Tankel is not turning out to be better at that job. I Received a demand letter, with fees amounting to about 140% of the original amount. I attempted to call back. The first attempt died in a phone tree. Second attempt the line was dead. Attempts on numbers from the website, and another number on a letter insert all got the same results. The "Contact us" web form never gave an indication that anything was delivered, much less sent. The email address on the demand letter came back as undeliverable. I realize that some of this may be due to technical difficulties, maybe it is a tactical choice to try to unbalance debtors. Either way, a demand letter with unreliable contact information does not inspire confidence that resolution will be smooth. Should I draw a cashiers check and get my debt taken care of? Is the street address any good, and will someone answer traditional mail? The score is about 0.5 for 7 attempts. Would I hire this group to make collections from people who owe me money? It is not looking good. I wish my HOA would use someone that would answer the phone. Update: Response time via google reviews: 18 minutes. Fantastic! It turns out I mis-copied the email domain from the paper letter. That was my fault, just like it was my fault that I missed the paper mail updates from the HOA. I have not figured out why the phones and the web form don't work. Maybe voip phones, or aliased number don't work, Maybe the web form needs me to use Microsoft edge, or Safari. Upgrading to three stars.

Tankel is a predatory firm. I had my second run in with them recently. Both times was the same. They leverage the HOA and statutes to rack up fines and fees. 7 years ago, they got me on almost 1,000 for a 150 late assessment after sending a single notice to wrong address after HOA changed management companies and stopped my auto debit. Then they waited 6 months for fees and fines to accrue before taking legal action. Now, even though HOA always sent notices to my rental property they conveniently stopped that and only sent them to wrong address again so I wouldn’t get them. Also falsely slapped me with late additional fines for fees which I sent proof of payment for and they removed but still kept the legal fees they charged. Bill is almost up to 3,000 and have ignored all requests to negotiate. They know I can fight and win but it will cost me 10,000 so they just keep running their scam. This is a scam company and a scam racket who uses HOAs to leverage massive fines. The HOA management company Garrison Property Management is in cahoots. If they actually cared about the community they would make proper notice and stop these predatory practices. Response to: "If you've encountered us twice..." No, it just means you know exactly how to use the law to your advantage. Collecting fees and fines with minimal notice or effort from well-meaning property owners. You are a scab on this earth.

I cannot say enough about my amazing experience with Bob Tankel. He went to bat for me when no one else would, even though I was clearly in the right in my case. He is kind, passionate about his work, and hates bullies. Highly recommend him to anyone dealing with HOA or CDD issues!!!
