WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE DECIDING TO SUE
Before deciding to commence a lawsuit, here are some things to think about:
CLOSING COSTS WHEN BUYING A HOME IN NEW YORK
When contemplating a home purchase, there are certain closing costs and expenses a purchaser can expect to pay. Among residential homes, condo and co-op apartments, there are differences in closing costs.
BUYER BEWARE: WHAT TO CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING A CO-OP OR CONDO IN NEW YORK CITY
Purchasing real estate in New York City has never been more competitive–home values continue to rise. When looking into a purchase of real estate, many buyers understandably concentrate on location and price, with amenities and size a close second.
Settle? Or Litigate??
If you find yourself in a controversy with no solution in sight, a court fight is one option. When one party is refusing to settle, then litigation may be the only remedy.
