Many real estate disputes arise from unclear or deficient contract language, incomplete or inaccurate disclosures, incorrect property descriptions, and/or improper filings with governmental agencies. We pay attention to the details that matter most, and we represent our clients with competence, diligence, and a desire to ensure that each real estate transaction is completed quickly, thoroughly, and in compliance with applicable laws. Addressing each transaction with the attention it deserves, we strive to help our clients navigate their real estate issues and avoid costly litigation.
If you are currently involved in a lease dispute, breach of contract claim, or other real estate dispute, Shah Grossi Law & Counsel is equipped to strongly advocate for your rights and help you achieve positive results. Oftentimes, reaching an acceptable compromise through good faith negotiations is achievable, and that can produce the best result. But where negotiation is not productive or otherwise possible, we assist in handling a variety of dispute resolution procedures including mediation and arbitration, and we are always prepared to stand up for our clients’ rights in court if litigation is necessary.
