Complex and General Litigation

Business and Partnership Litigation

The firm also represents companies in disputes with other businesses, such as breach of contract claims, and other civil claims, such as tortious interference with business relations or contractual relations.

Real Estate Disputes

A significant portion of our firm’s litigation matters focuses on real estate disputes between various parties.

Our attorneys handle a wide variety of such disputes, including:

  • Boundary disputes
  • Quiet title actions
  • Adverse possession and prescriptive easement cases
  • Breaches of real estate contracts
  • Claims of fraud, or failure to disclose defects in the sale of a property
  • Access disputes

The firm also represents clients in landlord-tenant disputes and mechanic’s lien actions.

Arbitrations

Many disputes previously litigated in the courtroom are resolved through the arbitration process.

Parties resolve their disputes through Arbitration because of a prior agreement between the parties or because the parties believe it is a better forum for a particular dispute.

The formality and rules for arbitrations vary from case to case, from informal hearings with a mutually selected arbitrator to more formal proceedings before the American Arbitration Association. Our attorneys are able to advise you on whether your dispute should or must be resolved through arbitration and guide you through the entire process from start to finish.
