Real Estate Law and Litigation

Anyone who has owned, leased or used land understands that property rights are a common source of conflict. Neighbors, landlords and tenants, and homeowners associations and their members generally can work together to resolve problems as they arise. Sometimes, for a multitude of reasons, solutions are not attainable in the normal course of relations. In such cases, clients need representation by counsel with deep understanding of the laws of ownership and use of property and well developed tools to insure that their rights are protected.
