When Real Property Disputes In Florida Become Litigious

There is a time for reasonable negotiations and settlement offers in disputes over real estate, but a time comes for many buyers, sellers, landlords and brokers when litigation is the only rational path forward. Real estate purchases, sales and leasing operations are grand endeavors. For most people, homeownership and commercial property deals are the largest financial transactions of their lives. When stakes are high and disputes are deep, the right result may only come about through litigation and, potentially, a trial.

The attorney at The Law Office of Michael A. France has earned a reputation in the Gulf Coast region of Florida for effective advocacy that leads to strong outcomes for his clients. Michael takes on challenges with a mindset to win every advantage for his clients facing property-related legal problems, such as:

  • Purchase-sale transactions at risk of not going through as expected
  • Alleged breach of contract
  • Failure to disclose property defects
  • Misrepresentation
  • Title defects
  • Adverse possession
  • Boundary disputes
  • Easements
  • Commercial property zoning
  • Commercial property usage

For best results, consult with a trial attorney as soon as possible when it becomes clear that legal action is necessary. If you intend to file a lawsuit or must respond to one regarding residential or commercial real estate, time is of the essence. If Michael takes your case, he will prioritize essential steps and keep you well-informed at every turn of events.

Purchase And Sale Litigation: Earnest Money, Specific Performance And Disclosure Claims

Michael frequently handles litigation over purchase and sale agreements. They often involve earnest money or claims for specific performance to force a closing. Financing contingencies, appraisal gaps and inspection objections drive these cases. The first step is for him to call the opposing counsel to unstick the deal. He then provides a candid assessment of seller nondisclosure claims versus visible or hidden defects. He is always prepared to file or defend a lis pendens when necessary to protect your property rights.
