Protecting Your Rights
On average, a real estate lawsuit may take 9-18 months to work its way through the court system (in New Jersey) prior to settlement or trial. The length of each case will vary depending on several factors, such as the issues in dispute, the attitudes of the parties towards settlement, the venue of filing, and exigent circumstances which may dictate a faster or slower pace to the court proceedings.
This question is best answered after a consultation with an attorney. After speaking with an attorney to understand the strengths and weaknesses of your case, the likelihood of success, and the amount of potential recovery, you will be in a better position to make an informed decision as to whether you should go forward with a lawsuit, or consider alternatives.
Generally, lawsuits proceed through a uniform procedure. First, the parties exchange allegations (pleadings), then proceed into information gathering and exchange (discovery), and eventually to a final hearing (trial or alternate dispute resolution). This is a very simplified summary. There are many things that happen along the way. The legal process will vary depending on the specific facts of your case, the issues in dispute, and the personalities of the people or companies who are involved in the litigation.
Our law firm handles real estate cases involving the following common subject matter areas: property ownership disputes, quiet title actions, enforcement of mortgages, notes, and unsecured real-estate loans, other real estate investment disputes, boundary disputes, easement disputes, issues involving home improvement contractors and renovations, and condominium litigation.
