We also represent parties in disputes involving real estate professionals, including claims of fraud or nondisclosure of property defects such as known environmental hazards, damages caused by such things as termites or leaks, and misrepresentations of a property's value, acreage, or other material information. In addition, we assist with boundary disputes, or "encroachments," which are common among neighbors and often involve improvements to real property built over property lines, improvements which impede on another's use and enjoyment of property, and roads or utilities that cross over property lines.
