Over 40 Years Handling Real Property Transactions in Greater Utica.
You may be buying property as a residence or an investment. Or it may be for your business: an office, manufacturing, or warehousing. We’ll help you with real estate contracts, surveys, title insurance, taxation, and real estate finance for both residential and commercial real estate transactions.
Property Disputes
If you have issues of trespass, zoning, encroachments, adverse possession, or easements or if you need a variance for construction on your property, we can help. Property issues can be costly if you fail to prove your case or are forced to make expensive changes to buildings or boundaries.
Residential loans are based on providing the lender with personal financial information. We help clients, especially those with more complicated financial situations, navigate the loan process. That includes gathering the necessary financial information and then guiding them to the best lenders for their financial situation.
Commercial loans are more complicated. That’s because they are based on the financials of your unique business. We review your revenue, costs, and profit to be sure you present the strongest business plan to lenders. We know the decision making process of our local banks in the Utica area, so you will put your best foot forward when presenting your loan documents.
Tenants come to us to be sure their rights are protected before they sign a lease. Or we help them either force landlords to comply with local regulations or legally relieve them of their obligations under their lease.
Landlords seek our advice to construct leases that protect them from frivolous lawsuits and non-paying tenants. We make sure their rights as owners are protected and advise them on local statutes and regulations. This avoids lawsuits and helps them decide on the kind of tenant they should to lease to.
We provide tough representation for residential and commercial clients in boundary disputes and easement problems.
Neighbors build fences and stone walls that are not actually on their property. Or you may dispute the location of proposed new construction that may cross onto your property. We bring thorough research and intimate local knowledge to help you win your case against those who would encroach on your property.
Every property has a history, which means when you purchase a property you may run into problems with the title that occurred years ago.
These title defects could be errors in public records, unknown liens, or forgeries. We help clients either clear up these issues after closing or avoid them by reviewing the title search ahead of time.
We got our start in Central New York in construction law over 40 years ago. We handled large commercial property transactions for owners of malls, office buildings, and businesses of all shapes and sizes. Plus, we’ve been lead attorneys for residential developments throughout upstate New York including condominiums.
And through the years we’ve gained plenty of experience in municipal law. We have represented our clients before many local zoning and planning boards and represented the boards themselves as town attorney.
