Real Estate Transactions And Litigation
Clear legal guidance before you buy, sell, lease, or resolve a property dispute. Serving Coral Springs, Parkland, and South Florida.
Protect Your Property and Your Business Plans
A purchase, lease, or property dispute can affect your finances and your ability to run a business. Matthew Fornaro helps owners, buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants in Coral Springs, Parkland, Broward County, and South Florida understand their options and move forward.
Before You Sign or Close
Clear agreements help you understand what you are committing to. Matthew reviews and negotiates real estate contracts, addresses transaction concerns, and provides closing representation.
- Purchase and sale agreements: clarify obligations, contingencies, deadlines, and the consequences of a failed deal.
- Commercial leases: evaluate rent, operating expenses, permitted use, maintenance, renewal terms, and personal guarantees.
- Transaction issues: address title concerns, disclosures, contractual performance, and disagreements before closing.
Leasing space for your business? Start with the commercial lease review checklist.
When a Property Dispute Arises
Matthew evaluates the documents, the facts, and your objectives to develop a practical response. Depending on the matter, that may involve negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
- Purchase contract breaches and failures to disclose material property issues
- Title defects, ownership disagreements, and quiet title disputes
- Landlord–tenant and lease disputes
- Property-use, nuisance, and association disputes
- Contractor disputes and related real estate conflicts
The strategy should account for the value at stake, business disruption, costs, and available remedies, not just whether a lawsuit can be filed.
Start with the Right Documents
For a consultation, gather the signed contract or lease, amendments, notices, relevant correspondence, and a short timeline. Include any closing date, response deadline, or pending court papers so Matthew can assess the next steps.
Fees: transactional matters are billed flat fee; litigation is billed hourly. The firm does not accept contingency-fee matters. Scope and fees are discussed before engagement.
