Robert P. Hein, P.C. and The Apartment Law Practice Group

Robert Hein's practice group emphasizes delivery of economical, high-quality representation and counsel that meets the growing legal needs of apartment management companies.

Although much of our work involves court appearances and dispossessory cases in county courts throughout metropolitan Atlanta, the group practice also handles a wide variety of problems and litigation commonly encountered by property management companies, including the defense of housing discrimination, mold exposure, and premises liability claims. In the mid-1980s, Mr. Hein developed the business model and concept of a practice called "Apartment Law," with its primary emphasis on representing apartment owners and managers.

Robert Hein's group includes seven experienced attorneys:

Robert Hein
Steve Cheatwood
Mike Williams
Alain C. Didier

Elizabeth Edwards Colston
Toya Perkins
Philip C. Barnes

Property management law and beyond

Among the services offered in our practice are dispossessory warrant filings in the greater Atlanta area and other parts of Georgia. Our attorneys appear in courts throughout the Atlanta area on a daily basis. Over half of the group's practice involves representation of apartment owners or other law firms with dispossessory matters. The remaining portion of our Apartment Law practice consists of various civil and administrative complaints including:

Title VIII Fair Housing claims
Building and life safety code violations
Defense of premises liability claims
Defense of mold lawsuits
Navigating bankruptcy issues
