FINANCING

Our real estate attorneys can assist with representing your interests involving real estate financing of every nature and size. We represent lenders, borrowers, and investors in a wide range of matters throughout Northwest Florida. It’s common knowledge that “ignorance of the law is no excuse.” However, under Florida law, an individual is presumed to know and understand not only the law but also the documents he or she is signing. Given the complexity of today’s commercial real estate transactions, it becomes nearly impossible for the parties to have an understanding of the impact of what they must sign in order to close a deal or develop a piece of property. Since this is what we do, we have the experience to spot the issues and provide you with sound advice.
