Real Estate

Real estate law applies to land and the structures attached to it. At Abrams & Ament, P.C., we represent buyers and sellers in all aspects of the purchase and sale of real estate, from preparing and reviewing contracts to litigation for breach of the purchase contract, if necessary.

In addition, we represent many other types of individuals involved in commercial, office, residential and mixed use development and construction projects, including owners, contractors, architects, consultants, brokers and developers. Many legal issues can arise during development and construction of a real estate project, whether it is commercial, residential, or mixed use. These include preparation and review of contracts, litigation of disputes involving contracts, job site injuries, and mechanics' liens.

Once a building has been finished, sometimes defects are discovered due to allegedly poor workmanship or bad materials, which may result in a lawsuit for construction failure. Construction defects may be merely unsightly, or they may cause injuries or health problems (in the case of mold) to the occupants of the building and their visitors.

Real estate is a complex area of the law that requires knowledge, skill and experience. At Abrams & Ament, P.C., we have been practicing real estate law for over 30 years. We have seen and have handled nearly every type of issue that may arise in real estate, both in and out of the courtroom. We can provide you with the advice and representation you need to protect yourself and your investment.
