As a successful real estate litigation attorney, I represent individual and commercial clients involved in a variety of proceedings and transactions.
Real Estate Purchases and Sales
- Buy/sell agreements: I assist clients in drafting and reviewing real estate contracts, including buy/sell agreements between construction loans holders and permanent lenders.
- Deeds of trust: A deed of trust is similar to a mortgage, but involves a trustee in addition to the borrower and lender. The trustee holds the property title until the loan is paid. I can help in drafting deeds or enforcing them while protecting homeowners.
- Non-disclosure by sellers and brokers: I recover down payments and damages for buyers from a seller or broker's failure to make required disclosures before a sale.
- Disputes with brokers: Real estate professionals must act ethically toward buyers. I can help resolve your dispute with a real estate professional by negotiating on your behalf or pursuing a lawsuit.
Real Estate Ownership Disputes
- Homeowner's associations (HOAs): Homeowner association disputes arise when HOAs believe that homeowners have breached the association's rules or expectations.
- Neighbor and easement disputes: An easement is the right to do something, or prevent someone else from doing something, on the property of another. Real estate easements often result in disputes between landowners. I can analyze a real estate dispute and pursue a resolution that is in my client's best interests.
- Leaseholds: A well-written lease makes the landlord's and tenant's rights and responsibilities clear. I advocate on behalf of both landlords and tenants.
