Title Disputes and Property Rights
Unclear ownership records, boundary issues, and undisclosed liens can create significant legal challenges for property owners. A title dispute can delay a sale, impact property value, or lead to costly litigation. We help clients in Suffolk County by conducting thorough title examinations to identify and resolve defects. If liens, easements, or encumbrances threaten ownership, we take the necessary steps to clear them. When boundary disputes arise, we work toward a resolution through negotiation or legal action. We also handle adverse possession claims and other property conflicts. Protecting your property rights is critical to maintaining ownership and avoiding unnecessary legal complications.
Leasing for Landlords and Tenants
A well-drafted lease agreement protects both landlords and tenants by clearly outlining rights, responsibilities, and expectations. We assist clients in Suffolk County with residential and commercial leases, ensuring agreements are legally sound and enforceable. For landlords, we draft, review, and negotiate lease terms to safeguard rental income and minimize disputes. For tenants, we help clarify obligations and address unfair provisions.
When conflicts arise, we provide guidance on lease modifications, renewals, and termination. In cases of nonpayment, property damage, or lease violations, we assist with enforcement and eviction proceedings. Strong legal support helps avoid costly disputes and protects long-term interests.

We represent property owners, buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, and businesses in Suffolk County facing real estate conflicts. Our litigation services cover:
- Breach of contract claims, including disputes over purchase agreements and lease violations.
