Our firm represents both
commercial clients and individuals in all proceedings and
transactions that deal with real property and the structures
attached to it-including purchase and sale, construction, mortgages
and foreclosures, leases, zoning, title examinations, quiet title
actions, closings, and management.
Our firm offers a full
range of consultation services for real estate matters beginning
with pre-transaction counseling and going through all phases of
litigation and judgment enforcement. Often times, clients don't take
the time to have an attorney review purchase agreements and mortgage
documents, relying on the real estate agent or banker to represent
their interests. This misplaced faith can cost a lot. Our clients
tend to find that the additional time and expense spent in the
beginning is generally well worth it.
1. Real Property
Transactions - Our firm maintains a full service real estate
practice for the handling of construction and permanent loan
financing, the acquisition and sale of commercial and residential
properties, preparation of condominium documentation, and commercial
and residential lease transactions. We also have extensive
experience in all areas of land use.
2. Real Estate
Litigation - Our attorneys use their skills as litigators to
defend and prosecute your claims as the buyer or seller of real
estate. In addition to breach of contract, we handle actions over
deposits/earnest money, specific enforcement of purchase agreements
and breach of covenants and warranties. Our firm works closely with
property owners who have problems with difficult tenants. As is
frequently the case, once these tenants have been evicted or move
out (sometimes secretly and frequently without forwarding
addresses), owners are left with hundreds, even thousands of dollars
in damages. At this point, we coordinate our real estate work with
our collection department to obtain full relief for property
matters, including unpaid rent, expenses and deficiencies.
3. Real Estate
Closings - Our firm handles private and commercial real estate
closings. Also, we handle closings for business sales transactions.
4.
Foreclosure Defense - Our firm represents defendants in
foreclosure litigation in the State of Florida. Also, we bring
actions against financial institutions for violations of RESPA,TILA
and many other consumer protection laws. We partner with the
Foreclosure
Defense Institute.
Our firm deals with real
estate and business acquisitions in Florida, Puerto Rico, Colombia
and Venezuela.
