E-mail: mentorlawfirm@bellsouth.net REAL ESTATE LAW Mentor Law Firm is experienced and qualified to handle all your real estate needs, including contract review, title insurance and closings as well as litigation of land and real property interests. Contract Review. In Florida, most contracts for sale and purchase of real estate do not have an attorney review clause. This means that as of the day the contract is accepted (when the second party signs), the contract is final and is no longer subject to negotiation. Some states have a standard attorney review period written into all real estate contracts - but not Florida. For this reason, whether you are a buyer or a seller, it is highly recommended that you have a real estate lawyer review your contract before you sign. Mentor Law Firm is experienced in reviewing real estate sale and purchase contracts and making sure you are protected before you finalize a major financial transaction - like buying real estate. Title Insurance and Closing Services. Buying? Selling? Refinancing? In today's volatile real estate market, rest assured that Mentor Law Firm will take care of every detail from title commitment to closing and disbursement of funds. Mentor Law Firm is a certified title insurance agent through the Attorney's Title Insurance Fund, Inc. ("The Fund"). We can handle all aspects of a Florida real estate closing, from contract review through issuance of title insurance and settlement services. Our tri-lingual staff (Español / Français / English) is courteous and able to serve your needs efficiently and effectively. When you retain Mentor Law Firm to issue your title insurance policy and act as closing agent, you will get legal services, closing services and title insurance for about the same cost as a lay title insurance agency. Why not use a lawyer who is trained to identify and resolve title and inspections issues and render legal advice throughout the transaction? Real Estate Litigation. Unfortunately, disputes about real estate ownership or title controversies do occasionally arise. Mentor Law Firm has handled all types of real estate litigation, from partition actions (asking a Court to determine each owner's interest and sell the property to distribute the proceeds) to constructive trusts (an equitable remedy that construes an ownership interest upon a person who is not named on the title to a property). We have also defended against and advocated for parties to real estate deals that went sour. Whatever your real estate concerns, Mentor Law Firm is well-equipped to assist you. CIVIL LITIGATION Mentor Law Firm handles personal injury cases, including premises liability, negligence actions, vehicle accidents, slip and fall accidents and wrongful death. Vehicle Accidents. Accidents involving vehicles, trucks, motorcycles and bicycles are extremely commonplace in our fast-paced society. Often these accidents could have been prevented because they were cause by driver distraction or other negligent behavior. When carelessness results in injury or death to an innocent party, we at Mentor Law Firm are ready to get involved. Before you speak to an insurance adjuster, call us for a free consultation and let us help you evaluate your claim. Wrongful Death. Wrongful death occurs when a preventable death results from another person's action or inaction. A wrongful death case might arise against a doctor or other health care worker, pharmacist, hospital, vehicle operator or a violent person. The deceased's family members may be entitled to compensation for the loss of their loved one, including medical expenses, funeral costs, pain and suffering, lost income and more. At Mentor Law Firm we have a compassionate tri-lingual staff (Español / Français / English) that will get you through this very difficult time and help you get the compensation you deserve. Premises Liability. People who are injured on another's property often have recourse against the owner for their injuries. Negligently maintained areas, holes, tripping hazards and other defects give rise to liability for injuries that ensue. Defenses by property owners often try and blame the injured plaintiff. That is why it is important to work with an attorney experienced in this area of the law who will help you build a winning case strategy. Mentor Law Firm has handled premises liability cases of various types, and we are well versed in the defenses and strategies of insurance companies.
