David Zobel
Dave is a real estate trial lawyer.
Since 1983, he has helped clients resolve land disputes, in court and out of court, involving:
- Construction defects
- Breach of sales contracts
- Fraud in the sale of real estate
- Breach of lease agreements
- Foreclosure sales and whether they were conducted according state and federal laws and federal regulations
- Mechanic’s liens
- Condominium association/unit owner issues
- Improperly conducted termite/moisture damage inspections
Litigating real estate issues requires attention to detail and a thorough knowledge of case law. But it also requires the skill of telling a complicated story in a courtroom before a judge and a jury, or in a hearing before an arbitrator. That’s what Dave loves – taking facts, documents, and witness testimony and crafting them into a compelling argument.
