Silver Spring, MD Real Estate Law Attorneys

Representation for Real Estate Transactions, Disputes, and Property Rights in Silver Spring

Real estate matters can be complex, high-stakes, and time-sensitive. Whether buying or selling property, managing a construction project, or addressing a dispute with a neighbor or homeowners association, legal issues can significantly impact the value, use, and ownership of real property. At Fox & Moghul, our attorneys provide real estate law services to clients in Silver Spring and throughout Maryland, assisting with transactions, resolving conflicts, and protecting property rights with clarity and confidence.

We represent homeowners, commercial property owners, developers, investors, contractors, landlords, and tenants in both transactional and litigation matters. With extensive knowledge of Maryland real estate laws and regulations, we offer practical legal solutions for each client's unique needs and goals.

Resolving Real Estate Disputes

Disputes involving real estate can arise from a wide range of issues, from contract breaches to land use conflicts. These disputes often involve significant financial exposure and may delay or prevent the intended use of property. Our attorneys assist clients with resolving a variety of real estate-related conflicts, including:

• Construction Disputes: Conflicts may involve defective construction, project delays, change order disputes, or contractor nonperformance. We represent property owners, developers, and contractors in resolving disputes arising under construction contracts, warranties, or Maryland construction law.
• Title Litigation: When questions arise regarding the validity of title, prior claims, or undisclosed liens, legal action may be required to clear title and confirm ownership. Our firm represents clients in title disputes that affect the ability to sell, finance, or use property as intended.
• Boundary Line Disagreements: Disputes over property boundaries are common and often involve conflicting surveys, fence placements, or encroachments. We help clients assert or defend their property rights in disputes with adjacent landowners.
• Nuisance or Trespass Claims: If a neighboring property owner interferes with the use and enjoyment of land—through noise, odors, runoff, or unauthorized entry—we assist clients in pursuing or defending against claims for nuisance or trespass.
• Toxic Torts (Mold or Asbestos): Environmental hazards such as mold, asbestos, or lead paint can pose health risks and legal liability. We represent clients in cases involving property contamination, remediation obligations, and related damage claims.
• Homeowners Association (HOA) and Condominium Conflicts: Disputes with HOAs or condo associations may involve enforcement of community rules, assessment disputes, architectural restrictions, or access to records. We represent both property owners and associations in navigating these often contentious matters.

Our goal is to resolve disputes as efficiently as possible, whether through negotiation, alternative dispute resolution, or litigation in Maryland courts.

Real Estate Transactions and Commercial Development

In addition to resolving disputes, our attorneys provide legal support for a wide range of real estate transactions and development projects. Whether a client is purchasing a single-family home or planning a multi-phase commercial project, we help structure the deal to reduce risk and achieve the desired outcome.

We assist clients with:

• Purchase and Sale Agreements: Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts for residential and commercial property transactions to ensure clarity, compliance, and favorable terms.
• Due Diligence: Conducting title reviews, zoning verification, and environmental assessments to identify and address issues before closing.
• Commercial Leasing: Representing landlords and tenants in drafting and negotiating retail, office, and industrial leases, including provisions for rent, maintenance, use restrictions, and dispute resolution.
• Land Use and Development Approvals: Assisting developers and property owners with navigating zoning regulations, permit applications, and compliance with local planning authorities.

Our involvement in these transactions helps clients avoid costly delays, ensure regulatory compliance, and protect their financial and property interests.

Additional Property Law Services

In addition to transactional and dispute-related work, our attorneys handle a variety of matters related to property ownership, access, and legal title. These include:

• Easements: We assist with drafting, enforcing, or contesting easements for access, utilities, shared driveways, or other uses. Our attorneys help clarify the scope of easement rights and resolve conflicts when boundaries are disputed or use is challenged.
• Adverse Possession Claims: A party occupying land for a statutory period may attempt to claim ownership through adverse possession. We represent clients asserting or defending against such claims, analyzing occupation history and legal requirements under Maryland law.
• Quiet Title Actions: When property ownership is unclear due to conflicting claims, inheritance issues, or clerical errors, a quiet title action can establish legal ownership. We file and litigate quiet title actions to help clients gain clear, marketable title.
• Partition and Allotment Proceedings: When multiple individuals jointly own property and cannot agree on its use or sale, one or more co-owners may seek a partition. We represent parties in partition actions to divide property fairly or secure a court-ordered sale and distribution of proceeds.

These matters require close attention to historical records, legal documentation, and procedural rules. Our attorneys work diligently to protect our clients' rights and resolve complex real estate issues effectively.
