Show your HOA you're serious. Without paying an attorney to do it.
A flat-fee Illinois investigation that turns your situation into leverage your board has to answer to. Less than an hour of an attorney's time.
flat fee, one case, no retainer
We pull apart your situation, line it up against Illinois law, and find every place your HOA or property manager is on the wrong side of it. Then we put it in writing. If your case has no real path forward, we refund the $249 in full.
Continue to intake formThe viability promise
We analyze every aspect of your case in depth against Illinois law. If there's no viable path forward, we don't ship a letter and we refund your $249 in full.
Most homeowners never get this kind of honesty from anyone else.
What $249 gets you
A real read on your case under Illinois law. Viable, potentially viable with more documentation, or not viable. We tell you which, and we cite the statutes that put it there.
A full investigation, not a glance. Every governing document, fining notice, board email, meeting minute, financial record, portal screenshot. Send us everything, even the stuff that feels unimportant. Patterns matter, and timelines uncover leverage.
A demand letter built around your specific situation. Cites the Illinois law your HOA or property manager is on the wrong side of. Sendable as is.
Human review on every case. I read your file before anything ships. Nothing automated goes out the door.
A roadmap if your board doesn't fold. Some boards concede in days. If yours doesn't, we name what comes next: a follow-up resolution letter, an IDFPR complaint, a CCIC Ombudsperson filing, Small Claims as a last option, in the order that makes sense for your case. We draft the follow-ups too. Your board doesn't get to wait us out.

I'm not an attorney. I'm a homeowner who got tired, after eleven months, of being treated as if my building's management company could do whatever it wanted. So I built a tool that uses Illinois law the way it's supposed to be used.
I review every case before anything ships. That part doesn't get automated.
Case Zero. A homeowner disputed $575 in association charges. The letter went out. Nine days later, the management company conceded $475.

Most letters sent by homeowners threaten nothing, cite nothing, and get treated like nothing. Filed and forgotten in five minutes.
A letter that points to the laws your board is on the wrong side of forces a conversation. Boards have to answer those.
Here's what that difference looks like next to everything else $249 will buy you.

An attorney consult is real legal advice. Doing nothing is nothing. The other two spit out stale information they were trained on. Whether your HOA or management company takes any of these seriously is a different question entirely.

Questions worth answering before you pay
What do I actually get for $249?
Your full case file. A complete investigation of your situation against Illinois law, a viability call you can trust, and a demand letter built around your specific case. Plus a roadmap of what to do if your board doesn't fold, and the follow-up letters when those next steps fire. One flat fee covers all of it. See the full list.
What if my case isn't strong enough to fight?
Then we tell you, and refund the $249 in full. The viability promise means we'd rather refund you than ship a letter that won't move the needle. We're honest about cases that have a real path forward and cases that don't.
How is this different from a $40 LegalZoom letter or asking ChatGPT?
Templates fill in blanks. ChatGPT hallucinates, agrees with whatever you tell it, and isn't trained to recognize the specific patterns of HOA or property manager failure. It'll cheerfully walk you down a bad road and make it sound right. Neither tool reads your governing documents. Neither knows which Illinois statute section applies to your specific fining notice, your specific board action, or your specific date the board crossed the line. They produce paper that looks like a letter and threatens nothing. We point at the exact statute, the exact bylaw, and the exact pattern. That's what makes a letter actually work.
Are you an attorney?
No. DispuPoint isn't a law firm and I'm not an attorney. I'm a homeowner who got tired of property management companies treating people like us as if we didn't matter, so I built this. Illinois has real statutes that protect homeowners, and most of them don't require a lawyer to use. Every assessment ships with a clear note that we don't provide legal representation. If your situation actually needs an attorney, we'll tell you.
What if I need more than one letter?
Most cases don't. The first letter does the work for boards that fold quickly. If yours doesn't fold, the assessment names what comes next, and we draft the follow-ups. Resolution letter, IDFPR complaint, CCIC Ombudsperson filing, Small Claims as a last option. Each is a separate conversation, and you're not alone after the first letter goes out.
How long does it take?
A few business days from the time we have all your documents. Faster than waiting weeks for an attorney consult. Slower than ChatGPT, because a human is actually reading your file and giving you a solid foundation to stand on.
What do I need to upload?
Everything. Literally everything. Governing documents, fining notices, maintenance notices, board emails, meeting minutes, HOA ledgers, portal screenshots, any letters you've already written to the board or management company, anything you have that touches the dispute. Send us the stuff you think is unimportant too. Patterns and timelines are where leverage shows up.
My HOA is in Illinois but the management company is out of state. Is that a problem?
No. Illinois law applies to your community regardless of where the management company is headquartered. We've seen this come up plenty. It changes nothing about your rights.
Stop being ignored.
