Homeowners Association Law

Moretz Law Group, P.A. is a business and real estate law law firm in Charlotte, North Carolina and has one of the largest community association law practices in North and South Carolina. We call our Community Association Law Practice Group “HOA Ninjas” because we know the secrets of keeping HOAs out of trouble and rescuing them from evil.

We represent hundreds of residential, commercial and condominium associations throughout the Carolinas, and also help developers, homeowners and management companies create new HOAs and fix problems in existing HOAs. (We don’t represent individual homeowners against their HOAs.) Our Ninjas use their special skills and many years of experience to provide practical, real-world advice and documentation that helps our HOAs operate with zen-like efficiency, stay peaceful and resolve disputes harmoniously.

Motorsports Law

Zac Moretz attended racing school in France in 1990 and always hoped to be a famous racecar driver. He raced in the National Championship Division of the Sports Car Club of America for 5 years and was running second for the national championship in 1992 when his throttle cable broke on the back stretch at Road Atlanta. Since then he has raced karts actively while continuing to assist others in the motorsports law field. During law school, he worked in the legal department of Speedway Motorsports Inc., owner of Charlotte Motor Speedway and other NASCAR tracks and drag strips nationwide. We are active members of the North Carolina Motorsports Association. We understand the racing industry and the concerns of drivers, team owners, sponsors and track officials, and assist them with contractual matters, commercial real estate matters and intellectual property law matters.
