real Estate Litigation Attorney in The Bay Area & Silicon Valley

Real estate litigation encompasses a wide range of legal disputes that involve real property. Examples of such issues include boundary and title disputes, landlord-tenant disputes, and zoning or development violations. Litigation in the real estate sector can be complex as it involves parties with varying interests in the same transaction or property. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all parties involved understand their rights and responsibilities throughout the process. A qualified attorney experienced in this area of law can help guide you through any potential real estate litigation issues you may have. They will provide invaluable counsel and advocacy so that your best interests are protected. Additionally, they can also advise on pre-litigation matters such as negotiations, dispute resolution options, and contracts to help prevent disputes from arising

Types Of Disputes

One common type of real estate litigation dispute is a breach of contract dispute. This occurs when one party doesn't fulfill the obligations outlined in a property agreement or purchase contract. This could be something as simple as one party failing to make their monthly mortgage payment on time or forgetting to pay inspection fees required by the contract. In many cases, such a breach requires legal action in order to resolve the issue and protect the rights of those involved.


Another common type of real estate litigation dispute involves issues regarding tenant rights and rental disputes. In some cases, landlords may fail to provide a safe and livable environment for tenants or may not follow local regulations regarding rent increases or tenant eviction procedures. Similarly, tenants may fail to adhere to lease agreements or may damage the property they’re renting without providing adequate compensation for repairs. Both types of scenarios can often result in court proceedings that require an experienced litigator to resolve them properly.

Title Conflicts, zoning and Construction violations

Title conflicts are another type of real estate litigation dispute that often involves multiple parties with different claims on a particular parcel of land or property. A title dispute arises when two parties claim the same right to ownership over a certain piece of land. This could come about due to co-owner disagreements about joint ownership or usage rights; or it could come about because someone has failed to comply with contractual terms regarding transfer or sale of the property from one party to another. Title disputes need careful resolution by experienced attorneys who have knowledge about state laws governing title transfers and other matters related to disputed properties. 


Lastly, zoning and construction violations are also common types of real estate litigation disputes. Local governments often have very specific regulations governing how certain pieces of land can be used based upon its zoning designation (e.g., residential vs commercial). If a person builds something on their property that violates these regulations, they could face substantial fines from local authorities—and potentially even require them to demolish whatever they built if it is deemed out-of-compliance with local ordinances. In such cases, an attorney would need to represent their client in court proceedings in order to minimize any potential penalties associated with such violations
