Real Estate

Real estate law deals with the purchase and sale of properties and addresses the many issues that can occur while you own, rent, occupy, or sell a piece of property.  Real estate law is commonly referred to as property law for this very reason.  All types of property can fall under real estate law including commercial properties, residential properties, it can encompass structures, or it might simply be vacant land.  Our real estate lawyer represent homeowners, small business owners, real estate developers, landlords, tenants, and other commercial clients that are facing a variety of real estate issues or disputes.

The one thing they all have in common is that they are substantial financial investments.  Real estate disputes are known to be long and expensive legal processes.  If you or someone you know is facing litigation with a real estate issue, you need to work with an experienced lawyer who can represent and protect your interests.

You Need To Protect Your Property

If you are a property owner that is facing foreclosure, you need to work with a real estate lawyer who routinely handles this issue in order to protect your home.  In many instances, it is possible to work out some sort of payment plan with the lender of your mortgage in an effort to save your home.  We will explore your options and advocate for you and your best interests.

We are also skilled and experienced in resolving landlord-tenant disputes.

We fully understand the types of disputes that can arise from a landlord and tenant relationship.  Disputes over the terms and definitions of a lease or disputes about rental payments and security deposits are more common than you might think.  If you happen to live in government or section 8 house, these disputes can be even more complicated.  Regardless of the type of dispute you may be facing, we can help you get out from these disputes and guide you through the resolution process.  We can help you resolve them in court or through a negotiated settlement, whatever works best for you!

We are also able to help if your property is facing pressure from the city to use your land for municipal purposes.  The term eminent domain is the purchase of private property for the use of the public.  This is your property and you have the right to be fairly compensated for your home or property.
