Must delinquent owner pay both HOA late fees and lawyer's fees?


Question:

hoa lawyerI was just handed a legal notice from an attorney's office that I owe $1,200 in delinquent HOA payments (I was not aware that my routing number for the automatic bill pay was incorrect). I was never notified of this before they went to an attorney and now am told I owe for the attorney's fees as well which total over $500. I would have hand delivered the check to the HOA management office and fixed the problem immediately if I had just known. I live in Florida, and no where in my HOA by-laws does it say the process in which a notification of this sort is handled before the lien is placed. Can they make me pay the lawyer's fees as well?
