About this practice area

Real estate law

We represent buyers and sellers in residential and commercial real estate closings and in commercial lease transactions. We also assist in all types of bank loan closing and refinancing. We have experience advising property owners regarding acquisition, restructuring or divestiture of real property holdings, working with local, regional and national lending institutions and banks.

Residential and commercial closings

The LoRicco Law Firm provides full-service residential and commercial closing representation for buyers and sellers. We review contracts, coordinate closing requirements, communicate with lenders and other parties involved in the transaction, and work to keep the matter moving toward closing.

Financing and refinancing

We coordinate with local banks and lenders during financing and refinancing so clients understand the documents, obligations, and timing tied to the transaction.

Leases and landlord representation

We prepare and review residential and commercial leases for landlords. When conflicts arise, we represent landlords in residential and commercial eviction matters, including nonpayment of rent, lease violations, lapse of time, and related occupancy disputes.

Claims against negligent landlords

The firm has also represented tenants harmed by unsafe or poorly maintained properties, including claims involving disrepair, rodent infestation, lead paint, and related injuries or damages. Tenant-side work in this area is limited to claims against negligent landlords, not tenant eviction defense.
