Real Property

Buying and selling a home in California can be very tricky.  Disclosure laws are crucial for the seller and duties of due diligence are imposed on the buyer.  For the past 15 years, the Dougherty Law Firm, APC has successfully defended and prosecuted real estate cases involving allegations of inadequate disclosure of defects.  Since insurance coverage typically does not apply in these cases, litigants are forced to incur the legal fees and costs of these actions which can be substantial.  Thus, if you are buying or selling a house, it is critical that you obtain legal advice as to your rights and obligations.

In adition to representation of clients in real estate disputes, we can assist you with the contractual forms and give you advice on your duties as a seller or buyer.
