 Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Civil litigation (property, contract, damages, etc.)

• In property-related litigation, our firm handles disputes such as landlord-tenant conflicts, easement issues, and title disputes, ensuring clients’ rights are protected under state and local laws. Contract disputes, another key area, may involve allegations of breach, enforcement of terms, or interpretation of ambiguous clauses, requiring strategic legal arguments to resolve efficiently. Additionally, damages claims—whether stemming from negligence, fraud, or other wrongful acts—demand a thorough assessment of liability and losses to secure just compensation for affected parties.
