We Have Experience To Assist You
Our team includes members with degrees in Real Estate, Urban Land Development, and Construction Science. They have also served on real estate boards at the state and local levels. This diverse background provides us with a unique base of information that allows us to better understand our client’s needs.
The Right Approach
We never use a formulaic solution to disputes because each client has different needs and each land parcel is unique, and assess each case based on the business objectives of our clients and with an eye to the bottom line, both in terms of costs and desired outcomes. We’re able to target the most important issues in a dispute because of our trial experience. This increases the chances for a favorable, early pre-trial settlement. We are also prepared to represent our clients in court if necessary.
We have clients from almost every state of the United States. They include developers, landowners, and buyers, as well as sellers and municipalities. Our clients also include property owners, managers, tenants, and contractors.
We strive to meet the goals of our clients and can offer a sophisticated and efficient representation when it comes to real estate disputes. Our real estate litigation attorneys help clients avoid expensive litigation and manage risks when possible.
