We help clients with all their legal real-estate needs, from acquisition of land to large scale commercial land development, new construction, pre-construction, landlord-tenant relations, commercial leases, easements and charitable land gifts.  It is important that each client clearly understand the terms and conditions of a sales contracts, mortgage loan document, construction document or lease agreement, whether the client is a seller, buyer, borrower, builder, developer, land owner, landlord or tenant.  We guide clients step by step in all real estate related transactions, with the goal of protecting and preserving their valuable real property interests and investments.

In addition, the firm works closely with members of the Mortgage Bankers Association and members of the National Association of Realtors.  Our knowledge of mortgage laws helps us protect our clients’ interests through the complex mortgage process.  Teaming up with reputable, seasoned brokers, the firm can guide each client towards obtaining a mortgage that fits his/her particular commercial, residential or investment needs.

Finally, we are experienced in oversight of commercial construction and frequently serve as development consultants overseeing the General Contractor’s progress performance.  In doing so we pay particular attention to timely performance, proper documentation, code compliance and lender relations.  We understand construction-related lien, bonding and insurance requirements and help clients navigate complex administrative, building, zoning and health & safety regulations.  The firm also represents clients involved in real estate disputes, often successfully resolving disagreements informally or through mediation or arbitration, and without incurring the expense of court litigation.  We balance our power to litigate with the skill to negotiate.
