Real Estate Cases
Real estate litigation attorney, D. Scott Heselmeyer, PC, is skilled in real estate law and can protect your rights and interests in disputes.
Litigation is the process of bringing a lawsuit. A specialty area of business litigation is real estate litigation, which typically arises from real estate disputes. Representation in matters of fiduciary duty, partnership and contract disputes can often produce multimillion dollar judgments and defense verdicts in favor of a real estate litigator’s clients.
Real estate litigators usually represent buyers and potential buyers of real estate. Within the real estate milieu, land use restrictions leveraged in advantageous ways are often litigated for clients as diverse as owners of vineyards, hotel and motel owners/developers, bed & breakfast lodging establishments, and developers of commercial and residential properties.
A real estate lawyer can also represent clients in disputes over boundary lines and easement rights, enforcement of seismic retrofitting requirements, and the failure of property owners from adjoining or abutting parcels to comply with zoning and permit requirements.
Homeowners will frequently engage a real estate litigator in cases involving major design and construction flaws that may have been hidden or obscured when the property was purchased. Claims against parties responsible for the flaws, including contractors and sub-contractors as laws permit, are usually pursued to recover damages.
