Real estate litigation requires attorneys who understand how agreements, financing and ownership structures fit together. A boundary dispute may turn on a survey drawn decades ago. A lease fight may depend on a single clause about repairs or renewal. A foreclosure may raise questions about the loan documents, the guaranty and who actually holds the note.
We have served Anderson property owners since 1948. We resolve disputes through negotiation, mediation and arbitration when that serves the client, and we take cases through trial and appeal when it does not. We also handle residential closings, which South Carolina requires a licensed attorney to supervise.

Who we represent
Our clients include property owners, developers, secured lenders, borrowers, landlords and tenants. Some own a single home. Others own or manage commercial buildings, rental property or land held for development. Having worked on different sides of these disputes, we know how the other side is likely to read the same documents.
That perspective helps at every stage. It shapes how we negotiate, what we look for in the paperwork and how we prepare a case if it has to be tried.
When the government wants your land
The state, local governments and certain utilities can take private property for public use through eminent domain, often for road widening, utility lines or public projects. The law requires them to pay just compensation. The first offer is not always full value, and it may not account for the effect on the property that remains.
We review the appraisal, the plans for the project and the condition of the remaining land, and we help owners challenge an offer that falls short.
Resolving disputes in and out of court
Many property disputes settle once both sides see the documents clearly. Others go to mediation, or to arbitration if a contract requires it. When a case needs a judge or jury, we are prepared to try it and, if necessary, to handle the appeal. Each case starts with a consultation where we review your papers and explain the options in plain terms.
