Real estate law can be divided broadly between two major activities: transactions and litigation.\u00a0 Dorfman Law Office can help you with both.<\/p>\n

TRANSACTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most individuals and businesses understand the importance of utilizing a skilled attorney in drafting contracts for expensive and complicated real estate transactions.\u00a0 Most would never become involved in a long term lease or a development project without legal advice.\u00a0 The largest financial commitment many of us will ever make is the purchase of a home.\u00a0 Yet California, unlike some other states, does not mandate the involvement of attorneys in the home buying process.\u00a0 Most transactions go smoothly and are trouble free.\u00a0 However, as with all contracts, it is important to have a transaction properly documented, reviewed and covered by appropriate contract language in order to protect against instances when things do not go well.\u00a0 For real estate transactions, involving an attorney at the beginning can save a lot of expense and inconvenience down the road.<\/p>\n

LITIGATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lawsuits involving real property, whether commercial or residential, can arise from many causes.\u00a0 Transactions involving the sale of real estate or improvements\/repairs by contractors are common.\u00a0 So are landlord tenant disputes.\u00a0 Neighbors can find themselves at odds in regard to property boundaries or activities viewed as nuisances.\u00a0 Eminent domain law concerns itself with governmental (or quasi-governmental such as a utility company) “taking” of property.\u00a0 Aside from outright confiscation (condemnation) “taking” includes damage and impairment of use.\u00a0 Some real estate contracts and leases provide for attorney fees and costs to the prevailing party, thus raising the stakes in a dispute.<\/p>\n
