overview
The Flowers Davis Real Estate Law and Litigation Sections are committed to representing clients in a wide range of transactional and litigation matters in real estate. Whether you're looking to carry out smooth transactions or need assistance in a real estate dispute, our team is here to help.
Real Estate Law: Transactions
Our Real Estate Law attorneys are focused on ensuring that your business setup and transactions are executed properly the first time. The emphasis is on preventing disputes and delays through thorough planning and execution. By addressing potential legal issues upfront, we aim to keep your transactions running smoothly without the need for costly delays or conflicts.
Real Estate Litigation: Disputes and Remedies
When disputes and delays inevitably arise, Flowers Davis Real Estate Litigators are skilled at finding solutions both in and out of the courtroom. We often find that a well-crafted letter or a timely phone call can resolve issues more effectively than a formal lawsuit. However, if litigation is necessary, our team has a proven track record of successfully prosecuting and defending clients in a wide range of real estate-related conflicts, including:
- Property Owners
- Investors
- Developers
- Builders
- Homeowners Associations (HOAs)/Property Owners Associations (POAs)
- Landlords and Tenants
Mediation and Negotiation
In addition to litigation, we actively pursue mediation and negotiation to meet client objectives and avoid lengthy, expensive legal battles. We prioritize reaching outcomes that are in the best interests of our clients, with a goal of resolving conflicts efficiently and effectively.
