BFV offers its clients a wide array of experience in handling disputes faced by people involved in the real estate industry, including brokers, agents, developers, builders, appraisers, lenders, buyers and sellers. Our focus is a blend of preventative advice and counseling on issues that face real estate professionals, as well as litigating disputes that arise.
Our attorneys are well versed in the latest trends of the real estate industry, and incorporate that knowledge into their work on client matters. We frequently conduct seminars for our real estate clients in an effort to educate them on ways to avoid disputes, potential claims, and other issues.
When disputes do arise, we work aggressively on behalf of our clients to achieve the most beneficial solution, whether through litigation, arbitration, mediation, or other means. We are conscious of the fact that litigation does not always offer the best means to resolve a dispute; particularly in a fast moving industry like real estate.

- Professional Malpractice Complaints Against Real Estate Professionals

When appropriate, our strength in litigation allows us to fully protect our clients' interests. We have extensive experience litigating a wide variety of matters in both state and federal courts, as well as protecting the results we have obtained in the appellate courts.
Our command of the issues facing members of the real estate industry allows us to provide concise, responsive advice in a timely fashion. We strive to provide creative solutions that are tailored to the specific dispute at hand, and take into consideration the needs of the particular client.
