Property, Contract & Land Use Disputes

Despite best intentions, misunderstandings, mistakes and miscommunications happen. A contract for professional services may not end with the result a party expected, or one party may not be able or willing to comply with their contract obligations. A home purchaser may believe the seller failed to disclose a material defect, easement or critical area. A home owner may have concerns with a neighbor’s actions, use and neglect of their property. Land use issues may involve multiple parties and interests, further complicating traditional litigation options.

A vast majority of contract, property and land use disputes can be successfully resolved through mediation, saving the parties significant financial resources, time and personal stress, all associated with litigation.
