MacElree Harvey's real estate litigation attorneys represent builders, developers and land owners in a wide array of litigation arising from the ownership, development and/or use of real property. We have decades of experience in lawsuits involving:

• Title, easement and boundary disputes
• Actions for the enforcement or breach of contract agreements related to real property
• Disputes involving homeowners and condominium associations and their members
• Tax assessment appeals
• Defending property owners in code enforcement actions initiated by municipalities or other administrative agencies

MacElree Harvey's real estate litigation attorneys bring a vast wealth of experience to bear in representing clients in such lawsuits, having tried real estate matters to verdict in state courts throughout the Commonwealth and before private arbitration panels.

The real estate litigation team provides efficient, cost-effective representation to clients who benefit from the group’s extensive experience and knowledge in the acquisition and development of real estate, as well as the administrative processes governing the ownership and productive use of property. Its breadth and depth of subject matter knowledge benefits clients advocating for their rights in the litigation forum.   

Our attorneys' long-lasting relationship with property owners provides them with particular insight into the client’s goals and desired outcomes from litigation.  The real estate litigators realize that close, personal contact with clients and knowledge of their needs helps guide them in their representation in a one-on-one manner, while clients have the additional benefit of a full team of talented and experienced attorneys upon whom to rely when the scope and stakes of litigation require the depth of resources that a mid-sized, regional firm can provide. 

MacElree Harvey’s real estate litigators have represented clients in lawsuits regarding development rights, rights to easements, property boundary disputes, cases between property owners and homeowners and condominium associations, as well as contractual disputes between builders, developers and homeowners. 

Likewise, we have been called upon to represent clients in actions brought by and against municipalities and government agencies in cases where clients' property rights have been unlawfully limited or restricted. In every instance, we analyze our clients' rights under the law, advise them regarding the process by which the dispute will be heard, and provide guidance as to potential solutions and outcomes so that our clients may make informed, strategic litigation decisions. 

When called upon to advocate for the rights of clients in court or other alternative dispute resolution venues, MacElree Harvey's real estate attorneys zealously pursue vindication of clients' property rights.
