Residential and Commercial Real Estate

As your north Florida real estate lawyer, Mark Violette's knowledge of Florida real estate law and local regulation is coupled with a solid understanding of the real estate industry and local market. From new home purchases and sales to commercial leasing, multi-property development, and management of commercial and residential properties, we can handle all your real estate needs, including:

• Real estate closings
• Correcting title defects
• 1031 tax-deferred real estate exchanges
• Mechanic's liens
• Construction disputes and real estate litigation
• Mortgage foreclosures
• Homeowner association and condo association representation

Construction Law and Commercial Development

Our firm represents construction companies, contractors, and subcontractors with negotiation, drafting, and review of construction contracts, as well as dispute resolution through courtroom representation or alternative dispute resolution processes (arbitration or mediation). Whether your firm is engaged in a major building project that needs careful contract review or you need help resolving a project dispute, contact us.

Business Organization and Transactions

As your business law attorney, Mark Violette provides legal assistance with formation of new businesses, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and business sales. Our firm can help you with due diligence investigations, corporate governance issues, compliance issues, and business succession planning. We also litigate business and contract disputes.

Commercial and Civil Litigation

We represent businesses and individuals in Florida courts in real estate, construction, and business litigation. Although we provide every client with aggressive and diligent courtroom representation, we believe the best litigators are those who know how and when to settle a dispute. Where appropriate, we use the alternative dispute resolution strategies of negotiation, mediation, or arbitration to maximize our clients' objectives while being sensitive to their financial interests.

Contact our law office to schedule a consultation. Every effort is made to return all calls by the end of the day. Our office hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Time, and Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. We look forward to assisting you.
