For most people, buying or selling property is one of the largest financial decisions they'll ever make — and it's not always clear when a lawyer should be involved. Whether you're closing on a home, settling a dispute with a neighbor, or working through a problem with a title, real estate law touches nearly every stage of owning property. Having experienced counsel on your side helps protect your investment and keeps small issues from becoming costly ones.

Real estate law covers a wide range of transactions and disputes involving residential and commercial property. Common real estate matters include:

Purchase & sale agreements — drafting, reviewing, and negotiating the terms of residential or commercial transactions
Closings — handling the legal details that finalize the transfer of property
Title issues — resolving liens, encumbrances, or defects that cloud ownership
Boundary & easement disputes — disagreements over property lines, access, or shared use
Contracts for deed — seller-financed arrangements and the disputes that can arise from them
Deeds & conveyances — preparing and recording the documents that transfer ownership
Zoning & land use — questions about permitted uses, variances, or local restrictions
Construction & contractor disputes — disagreements over workmanship, payment, or mechanic's liens
Landlord/tenant & lease matters — commercial and residential leasing issues
Property disputes — breach of a purchase agreement, failed disclosures, or quiet title actions

At Ed Shaw Law, our attorneys practice in a wide range of legal areas, including real estate, and we believe that breadth is one of our greatest strengths. You don't need to know exactly what kind of legal issue you're facing or how it should be resolved. That's our job to figure out.

If your matter needs to go to court, you can count on our experienced litigators to advocate for you every step of the way — but we won't push you toward a lawsuit when there's a more efficient solution. Our goal is to protect your property interests as effectively, and as cost-effectively, as possible.
