Real Estate Contract & Disputes

We draft, review, and enforce contracts that form the foundation of real estate transactions, including purchase agreements, leases, and other key documents.

Such claims may be filed against real estate agents, brokers and owners of property for failing to disclose material facts known or breach of contract.

Buy-Sell Agreements are material to property and business transactions. At Colorado Legal Counsel we draft and review these agreements as well as enforce Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, Bylaws, and Corporate Resolutions, Operating Agreements, and Buy-out Agreements.

Evictions (FED Actions)

Evictions, or Forcible Entry and Detainer (FED) actions, require strict adherence to legal procedures. Colorado Legal Counsel follows Colorado law, advises against self help, abandonment claims, repossession, and breach claims by tenants and landlords.

What Our Clients Say

Colorado Legal Counsel advised me on a default judgment I obtained and the appropriate time periods for contesting same. As Mr. Schunk advised and predicted, after garnishment, the defaulting business debtor sought to vacate the judgment, which was mistakenly reversed by the Court but then later reinstated as a result of the correct application of law as argued and presented by Colorado Legal Counsel. This was an incredible win and legal result and attributable to Colorado Legal Counsel's early legal advice on how and when to proceed.
