Criminal Law

• Fraud
  Many homeowners throughout Edina and Minnesota as a whole are taken advantage of by unfair lending and business practices. Our real estate attorneys are a compassionate resource to help you fight for your rights during foreclosure proceedings that can be scary. We work directly with lenders to help you modify your mortgage when needed, protect your rights when it comes to debt collection, real estate fraud, debtor harassment, and more, and we even examine consumer protection violations surrounding bankruptcy — something that many firms throughout the state of Minnesota don’t do.

Business and Corporate Law

• Business Disputes
  Starting a new business is an exciting step for Minnesota entrepreneurs. Registering a company with the state as a business entity — such as an LLC or a corporation — can add credibility and protect the business owner from personal liability in the event of a lawsuit. Our business law attorneys advise clients on the best entity for their business and help them through the registration process, whether it’s preparing articles of incorporation and partnership agreements to maintaining corporate records. We also counsel clients on their day-to-day business activities, including employee, customer relations, and business-to-business transactions.
• Business Transactions
  You can talk to us about your transactional business law preferences or the results you wish to get, and our team will do what we can to be accommodating. Transactional lawyers are flexible with various situations and people, providing effective strategies for success.
• Limited Liability Companies
  In today’s article, as a part of our Your Guide to Business Entity Types blog series, we’ll be discussing limited liability companies. Registering your company as this type of business can reduce the personal liability involved with owning a business on your own or with a partner without the need for incorporating. Additionally, you can…
• Unfair Competition
  Homeowners worried about losing their homes need a Minnesota foreclosure attorney on their side. Why? Many banks and lenders refuse to work with homeowners looking for help. And few, if any, will consider a mortgage modification by a consumer request alone. A foreclosure defense lawyer can step in and advocate to save your home by working with lenders and other creditors to secure loan modifications and other relief. A foreclosure lawyer will also protect a client’s rights in debt collection defense, debtor harassment, unlawful repossession, real estate fraud, unfair competition, and trademark violations.

Property Law

• Real Estate Litigation

Recently relocated to France Avenue, our law firm provides the most cost-effective client services in the Twin Cities in the areas of real estate law, business development law, commercial litigation, and more. Our attorneys will fight for you until a positive outcome is reached.
• Construction Litigation
  A mechanic’s lien is a claim against the value of a building or property to secure payment for materials or services provided to improve the property. The lien makes the property owner ultimately responsible for all of the expenses incurred in improving a property. The owner is responsible for paying all subcontractors and material suppliers, even if the owner has already paid the contractor in full. If the owner does not pay off the lien, the lienholder may go to court to get an order enforcing the lien against the property. A Minnesota construction law attorney can help contractors through the lien process.
• Real Estate Transactions
  Even the most experienced real estate agents can’t answer legal questions or address potential legal issues that often arise during residential and commercial real estate transactions. What’s more, choosing a real estate lawyer over a realtor will ultimately save you money. How? There’s no need to pay a realtor commission if you work with an attorney instead.
• Land Use and Zoning
• Landlord-Tenant Disputes
  Much of a real estate lawyer’s role is to review complicated contracts and help clients navigate through the complicated transaction process. However, litigation is sometimes necessary to bring about the desired end result. A Minnesota real estate attorney who specializes in litigation can help clients win cases stemming from homeowners’ association disputes, construction delays or negligence, contract breaches, landlord-tenant disputes, and more.
