Real Estate Litigation Specialists

Real estate law is one of the most technically complex areas of law. Improper handling of real estate matters is one of the highest areas of attorney malpractice. With the complexity of today's laws, attorneys in general practice cannot be expected to have the depth of understanding or the degree of experience required for the efficient management of real estate dispute resolution.

Recognizing the need for experienced specialists in this area, Andrew J. Wiegel narrowed the focus of his legal work to matters of concern to real estate clients 30 years ago, creating a practice which has become Wiegel & Fried, LLP, a specialty law firm. Our practice is limited primarily to the representation of clients involved in real estate-related disputes.

We resolve disputes over the rights of property and business owners in real estate purchases and rentals. We handle title issues, co-owner disputes, real estate insurance disputes, claims of nondisclosure of defective conditions, real estate broker and property inspection malpractice claims, and construction litigation. We represent property owners in tenant litigation and defend wrongful eviction and habitability suits brought by tenants.

We are dedicated to the highest level of professionalism in providing legal services, and because we have been consistently successful in maintaining those standards, the firm enjoys an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating available, and a solid reputation in the legal field.

The attorneys of Wiegel & Fried, LLP have resolved many real estate disputes in San Francisco and surrounding counties in court trials, in front of juries, and through arbitration. We always seek the most cost effective path to resolution for our clients, and have successfully negotiated the satisfactory settlements of scores of additional cases, informally and through formal mediation proceedings.
