Golm Law Firm handles a range of Florida real estate disputes, including title defects, fraud, misrepresentation, partition actions, HOA and condominium association conflicts, boundary disagreements, easement issues, survey discrepancies, contract disputes, and litigation. The firm represents property owners, buyers, sellers, investors, landlords, developers, and businesses seeking to protect their property rights or financial interests.
Can a property dispute be resolved without going to court?
Yes. Some disputes may be addressed through direct negotiation, attorney correspondence, demand letters, settlement discussions, or other resolution efforts. The appropriate approach depends on the contracts, title records, communications, and facts involved. Golm Law Firm evaluates the dispute and explains available options, including litigation when negotiation or settlement does not adequately protect the client’s interests.
What is a boundary dispute?
A boundary dispute involves disagreement about the location or use of a property line. Common issues include encroachments, easement conflicts, survey discrepancies, and competing claims about ownership or access. Golm Law Firm helps Florida property owners assess relevant surveys, deeds, title information, and other records, then pursues negotiation, title work, or litigation as appropriate.
What are common causes of real estate contract disputes?
Real estate contract disputes may involve alleged breach, failure to close, disagreements over earnest money, disputed contract terms, or claims seeking specific performance. The legal analysis depends on the agreement, amendments, disclosures, communications, and conduct of the parties. Golm Law Firm represents buyers, sellers, and businesses in enforcing or defending contract rights through negotiation, demand letters, and litigation.

Title services may include searches, examinations, commitments, title clearance, and title insurance policy issuance as a Florida-licensed attorney title agent. The appropriate work depends on the specific property records and dispute.
What should I bring to a property dispute consultation?
Useful materials may include purchase agreements, amendments, deeds, surveys, title documents, closing statements, leases, notices, correspondence, photographs, and records concerning the disputed property. Bringing organized documents can help the attorney understand the issue and identify relevant legal questions. A consultation may be conducted in person, virtually, or by phone, depending on the service selected.
How does litigation billing work for property disputes?
