Practice Areas
Real Estate Litigation
Protecting Alabama property owners in contract, title, boundary, fraud, and construction defect disputes.
Overview
Few fights are more personal than property.
For most people and small businesses, real estate is the largest investment they will ever make. When a deal collapses, a title proves clouded, a neighbor claims your land, or a builder’s work fails, everything you put into the property is suddenly at risk.
Real estate disputes are won on documents and details: deeds and surveys, contracts and disclosures, permits and building standards. They reward the kind of meticulous preparation this practice is built on.
Whether the answer is quieting title, enforcing a contract, unwinding a fraudulent transaction, or holding a builder to account, the goal is the same: protecting what is yours.

Real Estate Litigation questions, answered
General answers to what people ask most. Every case is different, and this is not legal advice. For guidance about your situation, please reach out.
What real estate disputes do you handle?
Breach of purchase and sale contracts, title and ownership disputes, boundary and easement disputes, fraud and misrepresentation in property transactions, and construction defect claims, for homeowners, property owners, and small businesses across Alabama.
My neighbor and I disagree about the property line. What now?
Boundary disputes turn on deeds, surveys, and the history of how the land has been used and occupied. Sometimes a current survey and a firm letter resolve it; sometimes a quiet title or ejectment action is required. Understanding the record first is what tells you how hard to push.
The seller hid serious problems with the house. Do I have a claim?
Possibly. Alabama sales are governed by caveat emptor in many resale situations, but claims can still exist for active misrepresentation or concealment, for breach of specific contract terms, and in certain new-construction situations. The facts and documents decide it, which is why an early, honest review matters.
What can I do about defective construction work?
Builders and contractors can be accountable for defective workmanship through contract and warranty claims and, in some circumstances, negligence claims. Notice requirements and deadlines can apply, so document the defects and get advice before repairs erase the evidence.
