Civil Litigation

Our civil litigation practice at Salter Feiber, PA consists of helping individuals in all types of claims before a variety of tribunals including administrative proceedings, magistrates and in county, circuit and federal court. We have experience representing plaintiffs and defendants in a variety of actions including:

Contract Law

At Salter Feiber, PA, our attorneys are highly proficient in the art of contract preparation. We have been called upon to draft such documents as:
  • Agreements for the purchase and sale of a business
  • Asset and stock purchase agreements
  • Business contracts
  • Employment agreements

Landlord/Tenant

Salter Feiber, PA represents commercial and residential landlords in a variety of matters including:
  • Drafting Commercial Lease Agreements
  • Drafting Residential Lease Agreements
  • Drafting Lease with Purchase Options
  • Resolution of Lease Violations
  • Non-Payment of Rent
  • Lease Negotiations
  • Evictions
We understand that rental property is one of your most important investments and it’s important that you protect that investment and your legal rights. It is imperative that you have a lease agreement drafted that will protect your legal rights and the value of your property. We will discuss your situation and customize any lease to fit your needs.

The rental industry is big business in Gainesville and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, sometimes tenants fail to comply with the terms of the lease agreement. When this happens, landlords should not hesitate to contact a lawyer who can protect their rights and their property interests. The longer a situation goes unresolved, the more time, money and property value the landlord risks losing.

When appropriate, we will try to negotiate an amicable resolution to your dispute with your tenant. However, when negotiations fail, we have the experience and the expertise to file an eviction action on your behalf and represent your interests in court.

Foreclosures and Alternatives

At Salter Feiber, PA our attorneys have represented borrowers and lenders in foreclosure actions. We believe that the experience that comes from this comprehensive experience benefits our clients in all aspects of negotiation and litigation.

Borrowers:
If you are a homeowner facing foreclosure, there are options to consider. Don’t just sit and wait for the bank to foreclose; the sooner you take action the more options we have to assist you. At Salter Feiber, PA, our attorneys have the real estate experience to help you pursue alternatives to foreclosure including:
  • Mortgage Modification
  • Short Sale
  • Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure
  • Negotiation of Deficiency Following Foreclosure
Lenders:
If you are a creditor who is not being paid, we can assist you with foreclosing the note and mortgage.  We will discuss the various options available and the jurisdictional requirements. In many jurisdictions, mediation is mandatory prior to completion of a foreclosure action and we will assist you in negotiating an acceptable resolution with the borrower, if possible.

If foreclosure is necessary, we will examine the title to ensure that you have clear title to the property following a foreclosure and carry the foreclosure through the litigation phase of the proceedings to completion and put you back in possession of the property.
