Condominium & Community Association Law
Florida is filled with condominiums, timeshare properties, subdivision, and cooperative communities. Creating, operating and managing properties, both residential and commercial, takes individuals who are able to meet the requirements set forth by governing agencies as well as develop restrictions for the communities. Shigo Law Firm attorneys can draft a range of documents including deed restrictions and conditions for homeowners.
Construction Law
With Florida's mild winters, construction can begin during any season. This has led to a booming industry yet there are a plethora of legal obligations and challenges to construction. We work with owners, builders, contractors, architects and engineers to resolve any number of legal problems that may arise during residential and commercial construction. This may include claims negotiation, liens, contracts, litigation and land use issue.
Leasing Disputes
Tenants, landlords, lenders and developers often turn to our real estate attorneys to settle or negotiate leasing disputes. Shigo Law attorneys are experienced in drafting and negotiating leases, as well as performing due diligence and representing clients during eviction proceedings, foreclosures, non-compliance disputes, non-payment disputes and deposit disputes. We urge anyone who is entering into a lease to seek a real estate attorney who can ensure the client is getting a fair deal.

Mediation
When parties are more open to negotiation and settlement, mediation is often the best course of action. Litigation can prove expensive and,in certain instances, risky. Shigo attorneys are well practiced in mediation in order to resolve real estate issues that don't warrant going to trial. Mediations are usually conducted at a much quicker pace than trials, so it can be beneficial for all parties involved to negotiate and settle through mediation.
