REAL ESTATE

 Whether residential or commercial in nature, real estate is complex. The numerous ordinances, rules, laws, statutes, and regulations that encompass real estate law can be daunting and, at times, extremely frustrating. 

We can offer legal services in the various different areas of real estate law including the purchase and sale, leasing, and the development of real estate in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Our office can draft and interpret all types of residential and commercial real estate documents. 

We can work with clients to resolve issues involving residential and vacation property, lake cabins, hunting land, and commercial office buildings. We represent landlords and tenants in all aspect of leasing, commercial property management, and problem tenants. 

If necessary, our experience as both litigation and real estate attorneys positions us to provide maximum and efficient representation in the event our clients’ real estate matters end up in Court. 

 We have decades of experience analyzing and litigating complex business, personal, and real estate disputes. Whether through negotiation, alternative dispute resolution, or civil court action, we have a history of securing favorable results for clients. We are committed to successfully resolving our clients’ disputes through solid and innovative legal strategies that ensure the bests results quickly and at reasonable costs. 

We represent both plaintiffs and defendants in Minnesota and Wisconsin in state and federal courts. We specialize in real estate litigation, business/commercial disputes, construction litigation, insurance coverage litigation, and banking/financing disputes. 

Litigation is not enjoyable and it can be a cost prohibitive process for almost anyone except large businesses and wealthy individuals. Our goal is to work with our clients to formulate a litigation strategy that is protective and cost-effective, but also strategic and assertive when necessary. 

We represent both borrowers and lenders in every type of banking transaction. We can assist with preparing, reviewing, and explaining the complexities of loan transactions and the highly detailed terms and conditions that are usually contained within the numerous documents executed in connection with a loan transaction. 

We assist lenders with problem loans involving workouts, collections, litigation, and bankruptcy. We represent small banks and large lenders with lending and real estate issues in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. Our knowledge of the various banking rules, laws, and regulations affecting lenders and borrowers is unmatched except by the largest and most expensive law firms operating in both states. 

We offer a relatively new and cutting-edge way to practice law. Frankly, most people cannot afford to hire a lawyer except for in the most extreme and dire situations. This should not be the case. At JD Christensen, you can meet with an attorney with ease and with relatively minor expense. 

Do you have a situation where you think you might need to hire lawyer but just are not sure? Do you need a legal document reviewed and explained but don’t want to spend thousands of dollars to review a simple document? Are you acting “pro se” or as your own lawyer and need some advice and direction on the side? Are you, your family, or your business in a crisis situation where you are not even sure where to turn?

With our Private Client Services, we can arrange to meet, whether in person or online, for an hour or two, and discuss your situation and/or legal needs. With this limited legal service offering, potential clients can quickly schedule a meeting, meet with an experienced attorney licensed in Minnesota and Wisconsin, receive accurate, direct, and honest legal advice, and leave with no further commitment or obligation to utilize our services in the future. 

Our practice and experience have allowed us to develop professional relationships with attorneys that practice in several other areas of the law. Whether it is family law, estates and trusts, personal injury, or criminal defense, we know the best and most reasonably priced attorneys in the area. Our commitment is to our clients. If we cannot help you to immediately resolve your legal issue, we are happy to provide a referral to another lawyer or law firm that we know and trust with our clients.
