REAL ESTATE LITIGATION
JLG’s real estate litigation practice focuses on being tough advocates for our clients from local administrative board hearings all the way up to the State Supreme Court. However, we recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all litigation strategy and that the most effective counselors provide honest legal analysis of a case and that it is important to revisit that analysis as the case evolves. No client should decide on a litigation strategy without first understanding its true cost. Therefore, JLG emphasizes strong client participation and education in cooperatively developing a litigation strategy.
We assist clients in all manner of real estate disputes and general business litigation. This includes:
Real Estate Purchase and Construction Contract disputes
Landlord/tenant work and dispossessory actions
General Business Litigation
Title litigation including quiet title actions and boundary line disputes
Leasing Disputes
Foreclosure Related Actions
Eminent Domain Claims
Community Association Lawsuits
Creditor Debtor Litigation
Corporate Management Disputes
Property tax Litigation
JLG’s founder, Allie Jett, has spent the length of her legal career working closely in the property tax industry and has litigated many cases up to the appellate level, developing a depth of experience matched by few in the state. Her work in this area includes:
Property Tax Assessment and Exemption Appeals
Advising parties on the acquisitions of tax liens and tax deeds and effective management of those portfolios
Procedures for foreclosing the right of redemption
Confirmatory quiet title actions
Surplus funds management and claims
Representing county and municipal taxing agencies in judicial in rem tax sales and other matters
Trusts and estates
So often, many of the title issues raised in our property litigation practice arise from heirs property issues. Therefore we end up in probate court far more frequently than we expected. To that end, JLG’s probate work includes:
Administrations of Intestate Estates
Probate of Testate Estates
Actions for Year’s Support
Petitions for No Administration Necessary
Guardianship and Conservatorship Actions
