Settling a Complex Commercial Lease Conflict
“A regional retail chain enlisted the help of the Núñez Law Firm after the client was engaged in a dispute with their commercial lease landlord. The client was presented with an eviction notice, despite having made costly improvements to the property and making rent payments as scheduled. Although the client complied with the terms of the lease, the landlord cited vague language related to the use of the property to justify the attempted termination and threatened eviction. We carefully examined the lease in detail, focusing on each specific phrase while gathering evidence of the client’s compliance with its requirements. We engaged in extensive discussions with the landlord’s legal team, presenting documentation and case law highlighting precedents for our client’s position. After initial settlement discussions came to a halt, we proposed mediation, noting that it would likely be to both parties’ advantage to continue a business relationship. For our client, Núñez Law Firm obtained a satisfactory resolution: The landlord withdrew their attempted termination of the lease, ambiguity with regards to improved terms was eliminated, and the client was given a portion of their investment in improvements to the property. This fruitful resolution protected their investment while enhancing their negotiating position for expansion.”
Helping a First Time Home Buyer Navigate a Property Sale or Purchase
“A young family contacted the Núñez Law Firm for assistance in their first purchase of a home in Houston. The matter quickly became complicated when a title search reflected outstanding liens on the property and inconsistencies with seller disclosures. Our attorneys jumped into action and immediately communicated with the title company, reviewed public records, negotiated with the Selling Office, and worked tirelessly with the financial institutions and county offices to uncover an old lien that was satisfied but not released as well as an easement on the property that was not recorded. We resolved all matters and ensured the sale of the property was free from encumbrances, encroachments, and clouds on the title.
We kept our clients informed of all aspects of the matter, explained all legal issues in layman’s terms, and represented their interests in negotiations with the Seller at closing. The result is our client closed on their new home free from unknown liabilities, and the sale was completed by our target date. Our clients expressed gratitude for a transparent process in which we paid attention to details and maintained constant communication at all times. A satisfied customer is our greatest asset.”
Defending a Small Business in a Contract Disagreement
“A local catering business was sued by a past client for a breach of contract and significant damages for a cancelled event. The plaintiff alleged the caterer did not fulfill their obligations, seeking not only reimbursement but various additional penalties as well. Núñez Law Firm undertook a detailed analysis of the matter in hand, poring over all the correspondence, contracts and any relevant documents. We were able to establish that the cause of their cancellation was the result of circumstances beyond the caterer’s control (an official order from the city concerning public gatherings, effective at the time), and advised our client on crafting an effective defense based on a thorough examination of the terms -and the relevant force majeure clause- of the contract, clearly proving that the catering business undertook several attempts to reschedule or refund the event under good faith. Through continuous, diligent negotiations, we were able to persuade the other party to abandon their lawsuit entirely. The case was resolved with a minimal administrative fee, allowing us to effectively safeguard our client’s reputation and balance. This successful outcome stands as another proof of our commitment to defend small businesses and offer them clear recourse against illegal claims.”
Achieving a Positive Result in a Landlord-Tenant Conflict
“A residential landlord engaged us after a longtime tenant stopped paying rent and refused to leave. Further complicating matters, the tenant disputed the validity of the lease renewal and alleged the property needed maintenance. Lost rent and potential damage to the property concerned the landlord. We began a top-to-bottom analysis of the tenancy, lease paperwork, and correspondence. We set forth for the client a plan for legal action, notice timelines, grounds for eviction, etc. In tandem, we contacted the tenant to invite dialogue and identify a resolution out of court. Both sides reached an agreement over persistent negotiations: the tenant would vacate within a specified timeframe, and the landlord would reduce some unpaid rent in exchange for the property being turned over in good condition. The landlord saved time and cost of litigation through eviction while the tenant could find a new home without permanent mark on credit report. This case is another example of how we successfully pursue practical resolutions to landlord-tenant disputes.”
Obtaining a Recovery in a Property Boundary Conflict
“A client contacted Núñez Law Firm after learning that a neighbor’s recent construction encroached several feet over the property line onto his own land. He recognized the encroachment as a potential threat to his legal rights and the monetary value and usability of his property. Initially, our client attempted to resolve the matter by speaking to the neighbor informally, but this was unsuccessful.
We worked with an independent, licensed land surveyor to conduct an accurate land survey and then drafted a detailed legal memorandum about the property boundary lines and the extent and nature of the encroachment. Our team then initiated formal negotiations with the neighbor’s attorney in carefully drafted correspondence that presented our factual, legal and photographic evidence as well as reasonable solutions for addressing the problem by way of a refund or removal of the encroaching structure.
When it appeared as though an agreement was unlikely, and settlement talks stalled, we volunteered to initiate a civil lawsuit. However, our legal preparation seemingly spurred the neighbor to an amicable resolution. The client was compensated fairly and the parties executed a written document that permanently established the boundary line. This action preserved neighborly relations and prevent potential harm to our client’s land ownership rights.”
