Real Estate Fraud Attorneys in Philadelphia
Experienced Advocacy for Victims
While real estate fraud has been a problem for buyers for as long as interests in property have been bought and sold, difficult market conditions can result in a spike in dishonest conduct in purchases of all kinds.
If you think that you have been victimized in a real estate transaction, reach out to Weisberg Law for a free consultation about your legal alternatives in any case of suspected fraud. Our lawyers know how to analyze troubled real estate transactions to see whether you had the right to rely on the information given to you by a seller, mortgage broker, builder or remodeling contractor.
Sometimes your rights will depend on whether the other party had a duty to disclose information that would have been difficult or impossible to discover yourself through ordinary effort. The level of diligence required on your own part can vary depending on your status as a consumer or a business. Our real estate fraud attorneys in Philadelphia understand how to assert your rights in court and what’s needed to help you reach a favorable outcome.
