Real Estate Litigation
Real estate disputes cannot always be resolved out of court, despite the best intentions of the parties. When it becomes necessary to resort to the courts, Fairfax and Loudoun property owners often turn to Firm lawyer Lee Berlik for assistance. Lee provides diligent, sensitive, and responsive assistance to clients having disputes in which real estate or development rights are at issue. Services offered by the Firm include:
- Boundary, easement and restrictive covenant disputes
- Breach of contract
- Mortgage workouts
- Lease disputes and landlord-tenant actions
- Issues relating to government “takings”
- Condemnation and eminent domain actions involving roads, sewers, water, and public parks
- Zoning and other land use matters
- Surface water diversion and flooding problems
- Commercial and residential real estate disputes and evictions
Whether you are a business owner, home builder, contractor, homeowner or landlord, we can handle your boundary-line disputes, pursue your breach of warranty claim, obtain redress for construction defects, and represent you in court in Loudoun County, Fairfax County, or anywhere else in Virginia.
When litigation is necessary, the philosophy at BerlikLaw is to approach each case as though it will be tried, not settled. While most cases do in fact settle, early trial preparation tends to lead to better results whether at the settlement table or in court, and sends a message to the other side that the outcome of the case will be guided by sound personal or business considerations, not by the fear of trial that some real estate firms have.
At BerlikLaw, we believe that effective communication is vital to a successful attorney-client relationship. We take your calls and respond promptly to your emails, usually within one business day. Our clients receive outstanding, responsive service and are involved at every step along the way. We answer your questions, provide frequent status updates, and take full ownership of the matters you entrust to us.
