Real estate disputes and lawsuits can be complex and time-consuming, whether you are buying or selling private residential property, developing or leasing out a piece of commercial property, or doing anything involving real property that requires court approval. As any lawyer could tell you, though, real estate is a specialized field where you need an experienced real estate attorney at your side. It is rare for the court to pursue these types of civil claims because there are typically many legal and procedural obstacles in the way of getting a favorable result.
Fortunately, an experienced Missoula real estate litigation lawyer can protect your rights while still respecting the legal process, the court system, and the people across the proverbial—or literal—courtroom aisle from you. We are here to protect and help people, not to churn through cases as quickly as possible. Once our team of real estate attorneys receives a case, we take pains to learn your perspective, study the documents, scrutinize the fine print, identify the obscure legal issues, and work tirelessly to get you an ideal outcome.
Unlike people accused of criminal wrongdoing, those involved in real estate disputes do not have a Constitutional right to an attorney. Therefore, many people pursue compensation alone rather than asking for legal assistance, often assuming that it is fairly simple to get a court to enforce specific terms laid out in a contract or lease. Forging ahead alone, however, can be a recipe for disaster.
Montana laws governing real estate rental, ownership, transfers, and development are confusing and complex—even for the average attorney. Additionally, the opposing party in a real estate dispute will almost certainly fight tenaciously for their desired case result. There, it is important to work with legal counsel who could prepare a strong case that holds up well to this kind of scrutiny, as this can be extremely challenging without experience handling similar cases in the past. Fortunately, our team of attorneys has over 50 years of combined real estate law experience that can be put to work for you today.
State law also imposes strict filing deadlines on real estate litigation, and the exact deadline applicable to a particular person can change a lot depending on what type of case they are pursuing and the circumstances under which their legal dispute arose. A real estate attorney could help the Missoula resident navigate these litigation factors effectively and efficiently.
We assist a wide variety of clients in real estate transactions and disputes. We can help individual property owners and investors, developers, homeowners’ associations, and farmers and ranchers with respect to real estate purchases, sales, leases, financing, easements, licenses, and other land use matters.
We also represent real estate clients before public bodies and in court should a disagreement arise during or after a particular transaction concerning land use or development. Finally, we represent real estate owners against other adversarial owners whose interests are disputed. A lawyer from our team can discuss what help we may be able to provide with your specific real estate claim in Missoula during a confidential consultation.
No two civil cases are exactly alike, but that principle is particularly true for real estate law. Even something as seemingly straightforward as enforcing a lease agreement or executing a property sale can get bogged down in procedural problems and disagreements between the parties involved—especially if you try to resolve it alone.
