Dallas Real Estate Litigation Lawyer

Roquemore Skierski PLLC represents buyers, sellers, developers, contractors, landlords, tenants, and business owners throughout Texas, with a strong focus on the Dallas-Fort Worth market.

 

You may be facing a dispute tied to a commercial lease, a development schedule, or a project delivery breakdown. You may also be dealing with an internal conflict in a property-owning entity where control, distributions, and decision-making are driving the dispute. A Dallas real estate litigation attorney should understand the claims and the business constraints that sit behind them, including lender pressure, tenant continuity, and the cost of delay.

 

Our commercial real estate litigation attorneys work to resolve disputes at any stage, including pre-suit negotiations, emergency injunction requests, mediation, arbitration, and trial. When it is possible to settle efficiently, we push for practical outcomes. When the other side will not act reasonably, we are fully prepared to litigate.

Real Estate Disputes In Dallas Rarely Stay Simple For Long

Dallas real estate and construction projects often involve complex contracts, multiple stakeholders, and tight timelines. A single issue can disrupt an entire deal, especially when lenders, subcontractors, property managers, or business partners are involved.

 

That is why many Dallas real estate professionals turn to the real estate litigation attorneys at Roquemore Skierski PLLC, who understand not only the legal claims, but also the commercial realities behind them. We focus on:

 

  • Preserving your bargaining power early
  • Identifying contract and statutory leverage
  • Pursuing fast remedies when time-sensitive decisions matter

What Is Commercial Real Estate Litigation?

Commercial real estate litigation involves disputes tied to income-producing property and real estate projects, including office buildings, retail centers, industrial sites, multi-family properties, hotels, and mixed-use developments. Litigation can arise during acquisition, financing, development, construction, management, or leasing.

 

It is often necessary to involve a commercial real estate lawyer when a project stalls in such a way that a contract cannot resolve, or when one party refuses to perform. The right approach from an experienced real estate litigation lawyer combines detailed legal analysis with an efficient plan to reach a resolution.

How Dallas Commercial Real Estate Disputes Arise

Development and acquisition disputes

For developers and investors, litigation often stems from purchase and sale agreements, due diligence disputes, title issues, or missed project milestones. Claims may involve specific performance, escrow disputes, representations and warranties, or allegations of fraud. In Dallas, where time-to-market matters, these disputes often require fast action to preserve the deal or mitigate losses.

Commercial Leasing Conflicts

Commercial lease disputes can escalate quickly because the property is an operating asset. Landlords may face unpaid rent, abandonment, or property damage. Tenants may face disputes over build-outs, maintenance obligations, or interruptions that affect revenue. A Dallas commercial real estate attorney can help you enforce lease rights, pursue possession remedies where appropriate, and position the case for a business-minded resolution.

Construction And Project Delivery Disputes

Construction projects generate complex disputes because multiple contracts, scopes, and schedules intersect. Disagreements over change orders, delay claims, deficiency notices, and warranty claims often require careful document control and expert analysis. We help clients build a clear record, pursue or defend claims, and seek remedies that move projects forward.

Lender-Related Real Estate Litigation

Real estate litigation may also arise from financing. Lenders and borrowers can dispute over construction draws, collateral recovery, or enforcement of guaranties. Priority disputes may involve mechanic’s lienors, junior or mezzanine lenders, and subordination obligations. These cases can move quickly, and they require a clear understanding of contractual rights and the practical leverage points that drive resolution.

Types Of Real Estate Litigation We Handle

Construction and real estate disputes commonly center on contract performance, payment rights, quality of work, and allocation of risk. Our team represents clients in a wide range of claims and defenses, including:

 

  • Commercial lease disputes
  • Construction contract disputes involving scope, specifications, and performance
  • Construction defect litigation and related claims
  • Contractor litigation, including disputes between owners, GCs, subs, and other professionals
  • Change orders and pricing disputes when scope changes mid-project
  • Delay claims and scheduling changes that impact deadlines
  • Deficiency notices and disputes over timelines
  • Warranty claims tied to workmanship or materials
  • Mechanic’s liens, including filing, foreclosure, and bond claims
  • Contingent payments and “pay-if-paid” or “pay-when-paid” disputes
  • Development disputes involving milestones or delivery obligations
  • Breach of fiduciary duty claims in real estate partnerships or joint ventures

 

If you are searching for a Dallas commercial real estate litigation lawyer because a deal is at risk, payment is being withheld, or a partner is acting against your venture’s interests, we can evaluate your claim and act quickly.

How Roquemore Skierski Approaches Dallas Real Estate Litigation

Our statewide real estate litigation practice works closely with clients to analyze and manage risk, then develop efficient, cost-effective strategies that match their goals. That often means:

 

  • Evaluating contracts, timelines, and notice requirements immediately
  • Identifying leverage points, including and cure provisions or lien rights
  • Preserving evidence and building a clear factual record
  • Pursuing resolution through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration when it serves your business
  • Litigating aggressively when all other options have been exhausted

 

If you need a Dallas commercial real estate attorney who can move from strategy to action without wasted time, we are always ready to step in.
