    Can you refer me to lawyers in Ocean County having info/experience/guidance concerning the ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) that a NJ Condo Assn. must provide to address disputes between owners/assn?  See:
    So long as the dispute "arise[s] from the parties' condominium relationship," a unit owner may, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 46:8B-14(k), demand submission of such disputes to ADR in lieu of proceeding in court:
     
    (k) An association shall provide a fair and efficient procedure for the resolution of housing-related disputes between individual unit owners and the association, and between unit owners, which shall be readily available as an alternative to litigation. A person other than an officer of the association, a member of the governing board or a unit owner involved in the dispute shall be made available to resolve the dispute. A unit owner may notify the Commissioner of Community Affairs if an association does not comply with this subsection. The commissioner shall have the power to order the association to provide a fair and efficient procedure for the resolution of disputes.
