They say good fences may make good neighbors, but in our experience, bad fences often lead to litigation. Our firm—led by the former general counsel of a real estate development fund—frequently represents DC property owners who find themselves in disputes with neighbors regarding construction, boundaries, and safety concerns.
In addition to litigation with neighbors, we have also helped residents and property managers navigate the city’s administrative apparatus, including issues like DCRA Correction Orders, Notices of Violation, Stop Work Orders, and appeals before the Office of Administrative Appeals.
Among the cases handled by our lawyers:
Represented Georgetown resident in protracted litigation with real estate developer and DCRA/DOB (in D.C. Superior Court and before the Office of Administrative Appeals and D.C. Court of Appeals) regarding the safety of a century-old 12-foot retaining wall and trespassory construction.
Advised real estate developer in connection with boundary disputes relating to a multi-family apartment building.
Helped multiple homeowners navigate boundary disputes involving neighboring construction and disputes over trees.
Represented Dupont Circle homeowners before the D.C. Court of Appeals in connection with civil protective order against neighbor (and ANC Commissioner) relating to years-long dispute regarding a deck.
