Real Estate Litigation
Kraemer Burns' attorneys have represented parties in disputes arising out of the sale and purchase of substantial commercial properties.

Our attorneys are experienced in actions to quiet title and in condominium disputes. Kraemer Burns also has experience with guaranty claims, such as a recent action where summary judgment was obtained on behalf of a landlord against a foreign guarantor of the lessee's obligations regarding a Manhattan theatre, after process was served in India pursuant to the Hague Convention and a jurisdiction motion was overcome. A microcosm of our cost-effective approach, the contested case was won without any discovery being taken.
