Lommen Abdo’s Real Estate and Construction Law Practice Group is anchored by Jeff O’Brien in Minnesota and Brent Johnson in Wisconsin. John O’Brien is certified as a real property specialist by the Real Property Law Section of the Minnesota State Bar Association. Keith Broady and Glenn Kessel add their formidable expertise to the group. Attorneys in this section counsel and litigate in areas such as real estate contracts, disclosure requirements, mechanics’ liens, construction law, boundary law, environmental matters, zoning and land use and title insurance disputes. Margie Bodas litigates title disputes in bankruptcy related matters.
Lommen Abdo’s real estate practice is diversified and touches on almost every real estate issue in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Areas of practice include the handling of all types of real estate transactions including purchases, sales, development contracts, leasing, bankruptcy and debtor-creditor law relating to real estate, permanent loans, construction loans, tax increment financing, loan modifications and workouts, real estate related litigation including leasing and contract disputes, mortgage foreclosures, cancellation of contract for deed proceedings, real property tax disputes, eminent domain, landlord/tenant matters, zoning and land use disputes, title and boundary matters, land title registration procedures, condominium law, commercial real estate loan transactions and all types of real estate related litigation.
Our work also encompasses the creation of entities to hold title to real estate, such as limited partnerships and limited liability companies.
