Virginia Real Estate Litigators Represent Clients in Property Disputes

SKILLED ATTORNEYS RESOLVE CONFLICTS FOR HOMEOWNERS AND BUYERS IN the counties and cities of northern virginia

Real estate represents the biggest investment most people will ever make, so it is essential that disputes involving transactions, titles, land use and zoning, and other matters are handled by skilled property attorneys who know the laws and local ordinances governing real property in the region.  At Legum Fitzpatrick, PLC, our real estate lawyers handle litigation for clients throughout the counties and cities of Northern Virginia.  We draw on our knowledge of the issues that most often affect people buying, selling and improving property to protect our clients' rights in negotiations and in court.

PROVEN LITIGATORS HANDLE A RANGE OF REAL ESTATE DISPUTES

Our attorneys understand how stressful a real estate dispute can be, affecting your ability to live where and how you wish. Conflicts can arise in a wide range of areas:

  • Real property contracts
  • Residential home sales
  • Construction
  • Contractors and subcontractors
  • Mortgages
  • Homeowners associations
  • Condominiums
  • Landlord-tenant matters
  • Evictions
  • Foreclosures
  • Eminent domain
  • Zoning, land use and building permits
  • Boundaries and easements
  • Titles
  • Liens

We work toward an optimal and expedient resolution for disputes in any of these areas. Our reputation as experienced litigators offers us an edge in negotiations, so we are often able to reach an agreement that saves you time and money. But we are thoroughly prepared to litigate your case when that presents your best option.

SKILLED COUNSELORS ASSIST WITH FORECLOSURE

When unexpected circumstances occur that put your home at risk of foreclosure, it's important to know that you have options. We combine innovative strategies with a determination to defend your right to keep your home. When selling it is a better way to proceed, we guide you toward the most advantageous situation. Depending on your circumstances and your lender's willingness to work with you, we may advise on:

  • Mortgage modification
  • Loan forbearance
  • Short sale
  • Deed in lieu of foreclosure
  • Lawsuit

You can rely on our ability to negotiate with lenders and make use of all available tools to help you stay in your home.

EXPERIENCED LAWYERS HELP WITH EVICTIONS

Eviction is disruptive to both landlords and tenants. Landlords must spend the time and money to replace tenants who fall behind on rent, and displaced families must find a new place to live under traumatic circumstances. With this scenario in mind, our attorneys help mediate disputes when eviction is threatened. If you are a tenant who unfairly faces eviction, we protect your right to remain in your home by asserting the terms of your lease. If you are a landlord whose tenants are engaged in disruptive, illegal or damaging behavior, we help you protect your property.

RELIABLE COUNSEL FOR ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Depending on the circumstances of your case, we may be able to handle your real estate dispute outside of court. Alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation and arbitration are options to consider. Some contracts require binding arbitration or nonbinding mediation to resolve disputes that arise out of the transaction governed by the agreement. When the cost and time of litigation exceeds the likely outcome, you may choose to settle instead. Our attorneys will offer advice to help move the proceedings toward a desirable outcome.
