Real Property Law

The majority of the firm's cases involve property law, most often in the realm of community associations -- condominiums and HOA's. But that's only the beginning of our real property transaction and litigation practice.

Over the years, we've represented dozens -- probably hundreds -- of buyers and sellers of real property, both residential and commercial. And we've represented both sides of transactions in cases when the sales turned out other than as expected, and when they didn't get concluded.

We've represented buyers in getting their earnest money deposits back -- most recently a jury verdict well into the "six figures," and we've represented sellers in recovering their earnest money and attorneys fees incurred in pursuing it.

We've assisted landlords in collecting rent and, when necessary, evicting their tenants. We've drafted and negotiated many leases -- residential and commercial.

We have filed and defended against mechanics' liens, in commercial and residential projects, and we've dealt with the performance issues associated with those proceedings.

The ownership of adjoining properties can create boundary issues, and we have lots of experience in litigating, and in negotiating resolutions to these disputes.
