Frequently Asked Questions About Real Estate Litigation
What should I do if I discover a major defect in a commercial or luxury property after purchasing it?
California allows buyers to pursue claims when a seller or agent failed to disclose a material defect that would have influenced the purchase decision.
You should gather documentation, preserve communications and obtain expert evaluations to confirm the scope of the problem. We regularly handle nondisclosure and concealment disputes. Our team can evaluate whether your situation supports a demand for compensation or corrective action.
How can I resolve a high-stakes commercial leasing dispute without destroying the value of my property?
Resolving high-stakes lease disputes without harming property value requires swift, private and cooperative strategies. Often, negotiating can offer a solution while helping you maintain control of the property. An attorney experienced in California commercial leasing can guide discussions and help structure workable agreements.
If early efforts fail, your lawyer can also represent you in real estate litigation when necessary.
Can you help resolve complex property ownership disputes between business partners or family members?
Yes. Ownership disagreements often arise from unclear provisions, unequal contributions, or management and control disputes. These matters require a careful analysis of deeds, contracts and all relevant financial records.
Our attorneys have amassed extensive experience litigating partition actions, quiet title claims and partnership disputes. We work to protect your rights while pursuing a resolution that reflects the true ownership structure.
Why should I choose Buffington Law Firm, PC, over a large, multinational law firm for my real estate dispute?
At Buffington Law Firm, PC, we offer extensive real estate litigation experience, direct attorney involvement and efficient case management that large firms often cannot match. You also benefit from our responsive communication practices and deep knowledge of California property law.

How long do I have to file a real estate lawsuit in Orange County?
Many real estate disputes, including breach of contract, must be filed within two to four years. Disputes involving fraud or nondisclosure may have different timelines based on when the issue was discovered.
Because timelines can be complex and fact-dependent, consult an attorney promptly to avoid losing your right to pursue legal action. We can help ensure you meet the required deadlines.

Time is of the essence in any action that must go to court, and that’s no different for real estate matters. However, there are different statutes of limitation that apply depending on everyone’s unique set of circumstances. You can have four years for issues with a lease or three years for any damage to the building, for example. Other issues, such as broker malpractice or construction defects or injuries, also have varying statutes of limitation.
