Real Estate Litigation Attorneys

Real estate litigation requires substantial knowledge about property laws and civil litigation, as well as a dynamic courtroom presence. Our attorneys possess the knowledge necessary to successfully litigate your real estate disputes.

Real Estate Negotiators

Some disputes are better solved outside of the courtroom. Our effective mediators guide negotiations to protect your interests. By retaining an experienced mediator to strategize during the contract negotiation process, you can often prevent disputes from arising at a later stage in the real estate transaction. This can save time, costs, and frustrations.

Recovery From Breach of Contract

When a party to a contract fails to perform, he damages the other business. This damage often goes beyond the immediate inconvenience of getting less than promised by the contract. The breach can also cost you future profits if you are unable to serve your clients as a result. There are a variety of remedies that provide either monetary damages or equitable relief, such as:

  • Compensatory damages – Reimbursement for immediate monetary loss
  • Consequential and incidental damages – Compensation for additional foreseeable losses caused by the breach
  • Attorney fees and costs – Amounts available only if the contract expressly states they are recoverable
  • Liquidated damages – Amounts specified in the contract that are payable for particular breaches, such as late or substandard performance
  • Specific performance – Court order requiring the breaching party to fulfill the terms of the contract
  • Punitive damages – Penalty for a party’s objectionable behavior, meant to punish the breaching party and discourage other parties from acting in a similar manner
  • Rescission – Cancellation of the contract, with both sides excused from further performance and payments made under the contract returned
  • Reformation – Change in the terms of the contract when the court believes there was an honest misunderstanding by the parties about what was to be performed

Our skilled attorneys can help you achieve the best legal remedy for a breach of contract.

Affordable Alternatives to a Civil Suit

Often, the best litigation strategy is no litigation at all. The cost of traditional litigation can easily exceed the amount of the contract. Fortunately, there are various means of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), including mediation and arbitration, which are less costly and quicker than civil lawsuits but can deliver the same remedies. Our skilled negotiators have successfully represented clients in arbitration and mediation hearings and have settled lawsuits prior to trial, saving our clients expenses and getting their businesses back on track.

If your business has been damaged by someone else’s conduct, you need to take action. Delaying the exercise of your rights could mean losing them.

Structured Settlement Transfers

Providence Attorneys Assist With Structured Settlement Transfers

Helping clients access their funds while protecting their rights

A structured settlement can provide long-term financial security, but sometimes life circumstances require access to a lump sum instead of periodic payments. At SDM Law Group, our experienced attorneys guide clients through the legal process of transferring structured settlement payment rights. We ensure that every transaction is in your best interest and complies with federal and Rhode Island law.

We can help you with matters including:

  • Evaluating whether a structured settlement transfer is right for you
  • Reviewing and negotiating transfer agreements
  • Ensuring compliance with the Structured Settlement Protection Act
  • Preparing petitions for court approval
  • Representing you in hearings before the judge
  • Protecting your rights from predatory practices and unfair terms

Why Legal Guidance Matters

Structured settlement transfers require court approval to protect the payee’s long-term financial interests. Without proper legal representation, you may risk losing significant value or entering into agreements that don’t serve your needs. Our attorneys advocate for you to secure fair terms and ensure the transaction supports your financial goals.
