Breach Of Contract

Whether it is a contractor who has failed to deliver what was promised or an insurance company who is denying you coverage as required under your contract of insurance we are able to assist you by reviewing your contract and fighting to get you what you deserve.

Real Property Disputes

We represent clients who are faced with various issues relating to property, property purchases and sale transactions. Where one party fails to close as scheduled, we can assist with a breach of contract case.

We also deal with boundary and right-of-way disputes, alleged encroachments, shared well and drive-way issues and nuisance cases where one person’s land has been adversely effected by something on or traveling from another’s property.
