An Exceptional Real Estate, Business and Land Use Lawyer

I cannot say enough good things about Piper Thornburgh and the excellent legal work she did for us in a recent real estate transaction. From reviewing and advising us on a real estate sale agreement, to dealing with and quickly resolving an issue with the title company, Piper was great to work with a...nd her advice and work top notch.

Boundary Line Dispute

We received a letter from an attorney threatening legal action if we didn’t respond to alleged property line encroachments. We were able to see Piper within a few days. She evaluated our situation and advised us of alternative approaches to minimize costs and take advantage of our long time propert...y ownership. Piper worked closely with us to prepare our case and negotiate a boundary line agreement with the neighboring property owners. She kept us appraised of progress and set a positive tone in working with the attorneys for the neighbors. At all times she was very professional and focused on our best interests. We would recommend her unreservedly.

Legal assistance in transferring ownership of a small business

Piper provided advice, guidance and support throughout a long process that resulted in the successful transfer of ownership of a small business. This was a complicated transfer and required Piper's expertise and persistence working with me as well as the new owner. She had contacts and knowledge tha...t were invaluable in concluding this transaction.

Divorce

Piper was extremely detailed about the financial aspect of separating a marriage and ensuring both parties were treated fair and equitable. She responded quickly to any questions or concerns I had and was able to keep the paperwork moving forward. In my opinion, she did a majority of the work load ...between my husband's lawyer and mine without complaint or even expecting recognition. I would highly recommend her if you are in need on someone who can brilliantly navigate the legal aspect of divorce with calm and confidence. Piper took a horrible life event and gave me a "road map" to come out the other side with a positive result both financially and emotionally.
