Litigation - When Real Estate Disputes demand Legal Remedy

The law office of Pugh and Payne represents clients in regard to the following issues that may lead to real estate litigation:

• Non-disclosure of physical problems
• Environmental pollution
• Presence of lead paint, asbestos, mercury, or other heavy metals
• Oil tanks
• Liens and title disputes
• Water damage - leaking basement or roof
• Mold
• Condominium covenants
• Structural problems
• Boundary disputes
• Land use
• Condemnations, blight, eminent domain

Achieving an Effective Resolution

Real estate disputes involving the physical condition of a property often involve repairs or environmental clean-up. Since lawyers representing a property owner or developer can often tie a case up in court for months if not years, entering into negotiations may be the most cost-effective and timely way to resolve a case. However, we're committed to restoring our client's financial status and position, not to simply settle a case. Consequently, our attorneys prepare each case for litigation in order to leverage your interests during negotiations.

Determining the best Direction to Take

Not all real estate disputes involve costly, lengthy litigation. However, when purchase or lease agreements are violated, making the law work in your favor instead of against you is key to recovering your losses and preventing further financial harm. At Pugh and Payne, our attorneys understand how to leverage case precedent, contract law, and local codes and regulations in our client's favor.
