In Coral Gables, Florida, where residential and commercial real estate is both highly valued and tightly regulated, a small mistake can lead to major financial setbacks or prolonged litigation.
A qualified real estate attorney can make all the difference. Legal representation ensures contracts are properly drafted, risks are addressed early, and disputes are handled with a strategy that protects your interests. Whether you’re a buyer, seller, investor, or landlord, having knowledgeable counsel on your side can streamline the process, avoid costly missteps, and enforce your property rights when needed.

Key Areas of Real Estate Law We Handle

Residential and Commercial Transactions
We represent both buyers and sellers throughout real estate closings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a real estate attorney for a residential purchase in Florida?
While it’s not legally required, working with a real estate lawyer adds significant protection. We help identify risks in the contract, uncover title problems, and ensure your rights are fully protected during the transaction.
What happens if my tenant stops paying rent?
We help landlords initiate eviction proceedings when necessary. Florida law has strict procedures for these actions, and missing a step can delay the process. Our firm handles the process from start to finish.
Can you help with real estate disputes involving multiple owners?
Yes. We represent clients in partition actions, which allow courts to divide or sell property when co-owners cannot agree on what to do with it.
How do I resolve a property boundary issue with my neighbor?
Boundary issues are often resolved through surveys, legal negotiation, or court actions such as quiet title suits. We help you choose the right path based on the available evidence and your long-term goals.
Are there ways to avoid foreclosure if I’ve fallen behind on my mortgage?
In some cases, foreclosure can be avoided through loan modification, assumption, or other negotiated outcomes. We review all options with our clients and represent them in mediation or litigation as needed.
