Litigation

We guide clients that have found themselves in need of litigation through the process of claim resolution.  Whether it is a dispute in construction, business, real estate, eminent domain, a will contest or other area, we approach these cases with a calm, steady progression towards a timely resolution.  Although difficult, we try to make litigation painless as possible.

Real Estate 

We aid those with commercial and residential real estate in closing their transactions.  Also, we aid tenants and landlords in lease preparation, negotiation and litigation, if necessary.  We also offer guidance in zoning, subdivision and development matters and have a deep understanding of boundary and property disputes. 

Mediation

North Carolina Superior Court cases require mediation between the parties before proceeding to trial.  We offer mediation services for these structured mediated conferences. We enable litigants to take back control of their case and reach settlement and avoid trial.  Please use our mediation request form  to let us know when you need us to mediate a case for you.

Eminent Domain

We passionately represent property owners having their land taken from them by governmental or private condemnors across the State of North Carolina.  With years of experience handling hundreds of acquisitions for condemning authorities under our belt, we have the experience you need to get the job done.  Call us, we will set a site visit within 48 hours.
