Types of Real Estate Litigation Cases
These days, allegations of lender fraud, wrongdoing and unfair lending practices fill the news. Unfortunately, these actions can have dire consequences for property owners. At Boyd Contreras, APC, our Santa Ana, Newport Beach and Irvine real estate litigation lawyers represent residential and commercial property owners in a range of lender-related real estate disputes, including those involving:
- Lender/broker liability — If either of these parties behaved unlawfully or unethically while preparing your loan, we can help.
- Lender fraud and misrepresentation — This occurs when a lender intentionally misrepresents terms in a contract or misinterprets their effects upon you.
- Breach of contract — When a lender fails to fulfill a promise made in an agreement such as permanent financing or a fixed rate for the life of the loan, it violates the contract.
- Breach of fiduciary duty — A broker owes the client a duty to obtain the best possible loan. The broker might violate this obligation by improperly steering a client into a loan the client cannot afford or one with extremely unfavorable terms.
- Negligence — If the lender fails to follow up on information as it should, it could be acting negligently. It may be possible to bring a lawsuit to recoup the damages caused by that negligence.
- Promissory fraud — If a lender promises particular actions and yet does not intend to fulfill those obligations, it may be in commission of promissory fraud.
You can trust our Orange County real estate litigation attorneys to perform a thorough evaluation of your real estate dispute, giving you an honest assessment of what options are available and the potential outcomes associated with them. We will review your contract and any supporting documentation, building the strongest case possible for you.
When possible, we strive to settle matters; negotiating a settlement is typically faster and more cost-effective than litigating the matter. If your case is best served by going to trial, however, we are fully prepared to fight for you in the courtroom.
