Experienced Real Estate Litigation Attorneys
We can initiate lawsuits or defend clients in contract litigation and all real estate matters:
Title disputes such as adverse possession by quiet title action, or disputes over easements
Broker disputes — We represent clients seeking damages against real estate brokers for fraud, misrepresentation or non-disclosure.
Breach of contract — We represent buyers or sellers in real estate transactions gone bad, as when one party backs out of the deal or seeks legal remedy for fraud or undisclosed defects.
Property disputes — We represent homeowners whose property was damaged or devalued by a neighboring owner's actions, such as by water diverted from a developer's new residential subdivision.
Property tax appeals — Mr. Hurley's proficiency in real estate valuations is well known to attorneys in Knox County. We assist in property tax assessment appeals when clients believe the city or county has over appraised property. For large commercial property owners, even a slightly inflated appraisal can cost thousands of dollars more than necessary. Our lawyers have represented hotels, shopping malls, and other large establishments over property tax disputes.
Eminent domain —Just as governmental entities overvalue property for tax purposes, they tend to undervalue private property in eminent domain takings. We are commonly consulted for property value assessments in condemnation proceedings to take clients' land for public use. We work to ensure that clients are justly compensated for the value of land and buildings. Our real estate lawyers handle condemnation cases from Washington County to Roane and Loudon Counties.
Litigation valuations — The Hurley Law Firm, P.C. does not handle divorces, but we are often hired by other lawyers to provide professional valuations of real estate for division of marital property or other civil disputes.
To discuss a real estate litigation matter, contact D. Scott Hurley at 865-523-1414. We provide services by hourly rates or contract fees.
