Real Estate Law: Why Professional Legal Guidance Matters

For many people, real estate is the most valuable asset they own, whether a home, vacation property, rental property or undeveloped acreage. It’s no surprise that the stakes are high when it comes to buying or selling property. Any type of real estate transaction can jeopardize your interests — and derail even the best-laid plans — if done improperly.

New York is an attorney state, which means that legal advice is not only critical but also required in real estate transactions. The result of your deal? That depends on which attorney you hire. We have successfully handled hundreds of transactions.

The Dangers Of “Do-It-Yourself” Services

The internet makes it easy to underestimate the risk involved in handling complex legal matters on your own. Protecting your interests – and getting the best deal possible – involves much more than filling out cookie-cutter forms. “Do-it-yourself” services such as Zillow, Trulia and LegalZoom are no substitute for experienced and individualized legal counsel.

A Better, More Cost-Effective Alternative

It is well worth the investment in professional legal guidance upfront to avoid greater losses down the road. At Duggan & Pawlowski LLP in Buffalo, you will find experienced legal guidance at affordable rates. We make it easy to secure the legal representation you need to move forward with confidence.

Applying decades of combined experience, our lawyers can assist you with:

  • Buying, selling or refinancing property
  • Navigating for-sale-by-owner transactions
  • Negotiating, drafting and reviewing real estate contracts
  • Addressing landlord-tenant issues (for landlords and property management companies)
  • Performing title searches
  • Pursuing partition actions
  • Handling real estate litigation, including easement and boundary disputes

In addition to serving buyers, sellers and landlords, we also routinely work with real estate agents throughout greater western New York.
