In addition to the states mentioned, we recently have counseled clients regarding real estate disputes in Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, Washington and Wisconsin.
COVERING THE FULL SPECTRUM
In the past five years, our real estate litigators have litigated and tried cases involving many subject areas, including ad valorem tax appeals, broker commission disputes, contract disputes, easement and restrictive covenants, eminent domain and governmental takings, foreclosure, lease enforcement, premises liability and a myriad of other significant issues. Because our attorneys know and understand the real estate industry and appreciate the financial and other impacts of litigation, we typically begin each case by counseling our clients on the risks and benefits of litigation, outlining the options and providing realistic assessment of the advantages of pursuing each option and discussing how each option affects the client’s overarching business goals.

Drawing upon the legal talents and litigation experience of our lawyers, we formulate the most effective and efficient strategies for successfully resolving virtually any real estate-related conflict.
