Our Real Estate & Environmental Services Group works with transactional, insurance carrier, and litigation clients to navigate the complex legal landscape of title litigation, coverage analysis, refinance, loan due diligence, purchase, and development for client’s insurance and real estate needs. DSV attorneys realize that a client’s relationship with their home, development, and/or real estate investment does not end at closing.
