Please read on for highlights of our legal practice:
Real Estate: Are you buying or selling a home and need advice concerning a residential real estate contract? Is there a dispute about a purchase or sale we may assist you with? Are you going through foreclosure, short sale, or eviction? The best way to avoid a legal problem is to address it before it happens.
Litigation: Sometimes the only way to address a problem is to exercise or defend your rights through a lawsuit. Our firm handles a variety of matters, whether you find yourself as a plaintiff or a defendant, including contract disputes, foreclosures, landlord and tentant disputes, homeowners association issues, zoning issues, business-to-business disputes and more.
Business Services: Disputes between businesses often stem from one party not paying the other or by otherwise not performing as expected under a contract. While we will work to resolve the dispute wihout the need to file a lawsuit, we prepare as if a lawsuit will be needed.
The firm also will assist you to form a business and will provide ongoing legal counsel as your business grows. Is a C-corporation, an S-corporation, a Florida Limited Liability Company, or some other form of business appropriate for your needs? Do you need contracts drafted or reviewed? Can we help you navigate government rules and regulations?
Foreclosures: Have you fallen behind in making mortgage payments? Are you a private investor or a homeowner who took back a mortgage with a non-performing loan. Are you a tenant living in a house that is suddenly being foreclosed on? Foreclosure is the process for the lender to recover the security in real property for a loan that is no longer being paid. Because of the steep decline in real estate values in Florida, many thousands of people have found themselves in a foreclosure lawsuit in some form or another. Please do not delay in contacting us for more information if you find yourself in that situation. Act early to protect your interests and preserve as many options as possible.
Formal Probate Proceedings: We also serve as legal counsel to guide our clients through the probate process whether your interests are as the personal representative (executor) named in a Last Will and Testament, a beneficiary of someone's estate or trust, or someone's creditor.
Estate Planning: How can we help you achieve peace of mind as you think about end of life planning for your family and your business? Is avoiding or limiting probate a concern? What happens to your assets if you are injured or die unexpectedly? Creating wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance health care planning are some of the services the firm offers. A little planning now can pay many dividends later.
Land Trusts: Are you a real estate investor? Would you like to learn how to gain more privacy in your real estate holdings? Is there a way to more easily manage or transfer interests in real property? In many circumstances, a Florida Land Trust can be an excellent way to hold title to real property. We will be happy to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this ownership tool.
