Contact Pinnola & Bomstein, with offices in Philadelphia and Elkins Park, to arrange a consultation with a real estate dispute or real estate litigation lawyer.

When an agreement to purchase a house falls through, the buyer and seller are not always able to agree on the consequences. Real estate disputes can arise when the homebuyer later discovers a title problem or undisclosed property defect. Individuals who buy houses with friends sometimes go their separate ways and need to go to court to get fair compensation for their share of the property. Mr. Bomstein will protect your interests regarding:

• Breach of sale agreement
• Fraud and non-disclosure of liens or defects
• Disputes over down payments/earnest money
• Commission disputes with real estate brokers

We routinely represent either party in disputes between business partners or family members over disposition of property in:

• Quiet title proceedings
• Partition actions
• Easement disputes
• Boundary disputes

We represent homeowners, general contractors and subcontractors in construction-related disputes:

• Construction defects/consumer fraud
• Delays and non-performance

Pinnola & Bomstein can furnish a real estate dispute lawyer regarding complex commercial real estate issues, including:

• Violations of real estate partnership agreements
• Disputes over sale or purchase of commercial property
• Commercial lease disputes

A small dispute can easily turn into full-scale real estate litigation if your attorney is inexperienced or too heavy-handed. Pinnola & Bomstein provides responsive client service and dependable legal counsel to find cost-effective, efficient resolutions that allow parties to go their separate ways.
