| The most critical step for anyone with a legal issue is finding a skilled attorney who concentrates in the specific area of law that pertains to that matter. In the constantly evolving legal profession, it is no longer possible for an attorney to be a "jack of all trades" and still provide high-quality, cost-effective and focused services to clients. With that in mind, Marks & Rosenzweig, LLC was purposefully created to provide counsel to clients who need legal expertise in the specific areas of real estate law, commercial law and employment law. Below is a listing of the practice areas in which we concentrate. If your issue(s) fall within one or more of these categories or if you are uncertain as to what type of law your matter involves, we invite you to contact us at any time in-person, by telephone or by email. RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS: It is essential to have a real estate attorney guide you in the purchase or sale of your single-family home, townhouse, condominium, vacation-home or other residential property. Invariably, issues will arise during the transaction which require the guidance of an attorney. Most real estate agents are not licensed to practice law and can not provide legal advice, which makes it a necessity to have an attorney involved on your behalf. We represent numerous buyers and sellers of residential properties in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Some of the key items that we handle in the purchase or sale of your home include:
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS: The purchase or sale of commercial real estate is typically more complex than the purchase or sale of a home. Commercial transactions often involve zoning, environmental, tenant-related, and tax issues requiring a buyer to devote a significant amount of time and money for the necessary due diligence before completing the transaction. Further complicating these deals for buyers are the strict requirements of most lenders who may desire to review architectural plans, floor plans, rent rolls, financial statements, and assess available collateral before approving a loan. If you are buying an apartment building, storefront property, multi-unit building, strip-center, office building or other commercial property, these issues are sure to arise. A skilled real estate attorney is an absolute necessity to assist you in negotiating the Agreement of Sale, reviewing the complex documents required by your lender and assisting in the due-diligence analysis of the commercial property you intend to purchase. If you are selling a commercial property, you must also protect your interests by having an attorney, among other things, negotiate the Agreement of Sale on your behalf, handle any tenant-related issues prior to closing, ensure that a valid Certificate of Occupancy can be obtained and transferred to the buyer, and appear at settlement to close the transaction without incident. Marks & Rosenzweig, LLC is experienced and prepared to guide you through the complications that can arise in commercial property transactions, whether you are buying, selling, or leasing commercial property. Some of the key items that we handle during the purchase, sale or lease of a commercial property include:
COMMERCIAL LITIGATION AND TRANSACTIONS: Being a smaller firm, we understand the issues relating to the commencement of your business. Having handled issues similar to those encountered by the small and medium-sized business clients who we have serviced over the years, we are experienced to assist you with:
In addition to handling the transactional needs of your business, Marks & Rosenzweig, LLC is also able to litigate claims that relate to your business interests when disputes with other individuals or entities arise. We have presented claims and defended claims for business clients in the state and federal courts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Florida in matters involving:
EMPLOYMENT LAW: The firm also maintains a broad employment law practice and handles matters including: workplace harassment and discrimination based on race, religion, national origin, color, gender/sex, age, disability (and other protected classes as delineated by the law in the state in which you work), retaliation in the workplace, wrongful termination, claims for unpaid wages and/or overtime compensation, non-compete agreements, unemployment compensation, workers compensation, infliction of emotional distress, defamation, and others. Whether your objective is to negotiate an employment-severance package, settle a matter, present a claim of harassment/discrimination to an administrative agency, or initiate litigation ... we possess the knowledge, experience and desire to assist you. PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE CLAIMS: Personal injury and property damage law focuses primarily on the intentional or negligent conduct of another individual or entity that causes injury or damage to you or your property. Common examples include automobile accidents, professional malpractice, workplace injuries and injuries caused by defective products. Our firm is experienced and equipped to handle cases involving such injury, whether minor or catastrophic, and is prepared to initiate litigation against any individual, entity or insurance company that fails to fully compensate you for your injuries. |
