The firm has considerable experience in real estate litigation and handles a wide range of cases including disputes over real estate contracts and commercial brokerage agreements.

Representative Cases:

  1. Olds v. Holtz (Washington - Snohomish County). Represented a commercial real estate broker in an action to obtain a brokerage commission. The defendant alleged that the brokerage agreement had expired and that the broker was not entitled to his commission because he had a conflict of interest. The trial court rendered judgment for the broker in the full amount sought. Judgment for our client, the broker, was affirmed on appeal.
  2. Lien v. Guertin (Washington - King County). Represented a landowner who sued to establish a prescriptive easement, and for damages caused by defendants’ obstruction of the roadway. We obtained a preliminary injunction, as well as final judgment, declaring existence of prescriptive easement and awarding damages.
