Real Estate Dispute Case Study

Commercial Property Boundary Dispute Successfully Resolved

Our client, a commercial property developer, faced a complex boundary dispute with an adjacent property owner that threatened to halt a $15 million development project. The dispute involved conflicting surveys, historical property records dating back 150 years, and questions about easement rights that had significant financial implications.

Through meticulous research and expert testimony, we uncovered historical documents and survey records that clearly established our client's property boundaries. Our team worked with professional surveyors, title experts, and historical researchers to build an irrefutable case supporting our client's position.

The Challenge

The opposing party claimed ownership of a crucial 2-acre strip of land that was essential for the development's access road and parking facilities. They had obtained a preliminary injunction that halted construction, costing our client significant delays and potential contract penalties with investors and tenants.

Clear title and defined boundaries are the foundation of all real estate transactions.

The Solution

We conducted extensive title research, commissioned multiple independent surveys, and located historical documents from county archives that had been overlooked in previous title searches. Our legal strategy combined property law expertise with detailed forensic analysis of historical records and survey data.

The Result

The court ruled definitively in our client's favor, confirming their ownership of the disputed property and dissolving the injunction. The development project resumed immediately, and our client was awarded attorney fees and costs. The clear resolution also increased the property's value and marketability for future phases of development.
