FAQ

What documents should I gather before we speak?

Bring the contract (and all riders), attorney review correspondence, inspection reports, appraisal, loan commitment, title commitment and exceptions, survey, HOA documents, notices, emails/texts with agents or the other party, lease or addenda (for landlord–tenant), photos/videos, and a timeline of events.

Do I have to close if the other side hasn’t met all conditions?

No. If contingencies aren’t satisfied or material terms are unmet, you may have contractual defenses or remedies. We analyze your deadlines, notices given, and whether the other party has a right to cure before recommending next steps.

Can I file a lis pendens to protect my claim?

If your case affects title or a right to the property (e.g., specific performance), a lis pendens may be appropriate to alert the world to your claim. Courts scrutinize these filings; we evaluate eligibility and risks before filing.

Is mediation worth it in real estate disputes?

Often yes. Mediation can preserve deals, reduce costs, and produce creative solutions (credits, repairs, adjusted timelines) that courts don’t always order. We prepare settlement ranges and evidence packages to maximize leverage in the room.

How long do real estate cases take?

Simple escrow or deposit disputes can resolve in weeks or a few months; title and boundary matters can take longer due to surveys, experts, and court schedules. We’ll give you a realistic timeline after initial review.

What will this cost?

Your initial consultation is free. Many matters proceed on hourly or hybrid arrangements depending on complexity; where legally and ethically appropriate, we discuss contingency or success-based options aligned with your goals. Consultations are free and we do not charge unless you win.

I’m a landlord. Can I recover rent or evict for violations?

Possibly. Remedies depend on lease language, notices, local rules, and proof of breach. We move quickly on compliant notices, filings, and, where appropriate, negotiated exits that secure the premises and reduce downtime.

The seller/buyer refuses to close. What are my options?

Options include specific performance (forcing the sale), termination with deposit release, price adjustments, repair credits, or damages. The best move depends on your contract’s default provisions and evidence of the other side’s breach.

My neighbor is encroaching on my property. What should I do?

Document with photos, dates, and, ideally, a recent survey. We pursue removal, boundary agreements, or injunctive relief. Early action helps prevent claims like prescriptive easements.

Can a real estate broker sue for a commission?

Yes, depending on the listing agreement and procuring cause. We litigate and defend commission claims and often resolve them through focused discovery and negotiation.
