Hakes Advocacy is a micro-level lobbying firm based in Castle Rock, Colorado, dedicated to supporting everyday people — not big corporations. From HOA disputes to zoning battles and state-level policies that impact real lives, we give families, small businesses, and local voices a seat at the table.
Advocacy is more than policy — it’s people. Here are just a few of the families, businesses, and neighborhoods we’ve helped stand up, speak out, and win.
A Parker family who had lawfully applied for a religious worker visa was devastated after the Biden Administration deprioritized their case — lumping them into broader immigration backlogs. We worked with congressional offices and faith-based leaders to push back, giving this family a voice in a broken system.
A small retailer in Castle Rock was losing foot traffic — apartment residents were monopolizing nearby parking, leaving no space for customers. We lobbied the Town of Castle Rock to convert it to 2-hour parking, secured signage and enforcement, and helped bring the business back to life.
Residents in a local HOA were concerned about unchallenged spending, lack of transparency, and leadership that didn’t represent the neighborhood. We helped rally the community, host a candidate forum, and replace the board with neighbors who care. Today, trust and accountability are back.
Hakes Advocacy serves the people and organizations most impacted by government overreach, red tape, or silence. We step in when others won’t — helping Coloradans navigate real-life challenges at the HOA, municipal, and state level.
We help individuals challenge unfair HOA violations, permit issues, or local code enforcement.
From zoning disputes to utility access issues, we protect your ability to manage and maintain your property.
We fight for visibility, signage, parking, permitting, and the freedom to serve your community.
We defend your ability to worship, serve, and minister without being buried in bureaucracy or unfair treatment.
We help communities organize, campaign, and replace dysfunctional or out-of-touch HOA leadership.
When immigration, religious liberty, or local policy harms real families, we help tell their story — and fight back.

Yes. We assist homeowners dealing with unfair violations, misuse of dues, lack of transparency, or ineffective leadership. We’ve even helped communities replace entire boards with neighbors who actually care.
