When negotiations fail, we enforce your rights to the fullest extent of the law.
We handle both residential and commercial real estate litigation, including transaction disputes, non-disclosure, adverse possession, boundary issues, ownership claims, and related matters.
We discourage pointless litigation.
Unfortunately, some law firms incite conflict unnecessarily. An overly aggressive attorney can make the problem even worse. We never push clients into litigation without good cause. Instead, we help clients understand the drawbacks of litigation and exhaust all possible solutions before resorting to the courtroom.
But we litigate zealously when necessary.
Although we don’t rush blindly into litigation, there are situations where the courtroom is the only path forward. In those situations, we will zealously advocate your cause to the fullest extent of the law, drawing on our unique focus and deep knowledge of property law and real estate.

“My case could have gone into the court system and had the potential to last a year or more. Ryan took on my case, kept it out of the court system AND won it all within 2 weeks! We were awarded our new home and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you! I highly recommend him!”
