Real Estate Disputes We Handle

Contract and Purchase Disputes

Our attorneys handle disputes involving:

  • Purchase and sale agreements
  • Earnest money and escrow disputes
  • Alleged misrepresentations or omissions in transactions
  • Disagreements over conditions to closing

We evaluate the contract language, communications between the parties, and the practical realities of the transaction to develop an appropriate strategy.

Lease and Landlord – Tenant Disputes

Leases are central documents in many real estate disputes. We represent both landlords and tenants in matters involving:

  • Alleged breaches of lease provisions
  • Nonpayment of rent and related remedies
  • Maintenance and repair obligations
  • Assignment, subleasing, and use restrictions

Our real estate litigation attorneys work closely with clients to interpret lease terms, assess options, and pursue or defend claims as needed.

Title, Boundary, and Easement Issues

Certain disputes focus on who holds rights to particular property interests. We assist with:

  • Title disputes and curative actions
  • Boundary disagreements and encroachment issues
  • Easement rights and restrictions

These matters often require careful review of historical documents, surveys, and recorded instruments.

Construction - Related Real Estate Litigation

Construction and development can give rise to disputes over:
