Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer for a real estate closing?+
While not always required, an attorney protects you from hidden issues in the title, contract, or property condition that could cost you significantly after closing.
What is title insurance and do I need it?+
Title insurance protects against claims on your property from before you purchased it. We strongly recommend it — a title defect can threaten your ownership years later.
What can I do about a neighbor's boundary encroachment?+
Options range from negotiated agreements to court orders. We first attempt resolution through survey evidence and negotiation before pursuing litigation.
How do I handle a landlord-tenant dispute?+
Both landlords and tenants have specific rights under NVC law. We represent both sides and work toward resolution that complies with local housing regulations.
Can I sue a home seller for hidden defects?+
If the seller knew about defects and failed to disclose them, you may have a fraud or breach of contract claim. Time limits apply, so contact us promptly.
