Services

Note: In order to maintain the quality of service we offer our current clients, we must limit our acceptance of any new clients at this time. We will be happy to discuss your needs and will provide referrals if we are not able to accept you as a client.

Municipal Law ~

We provide various legal services to many local government clients, including counties, towns, villages, and cities. Our services include advising on meeting laws, drafting ordinances, prosecuting violations, resolving land use problems, handling tax assessments, reviewing and creating contracts, interpreting and enforcing zoning codes, managing land divisions, addressing property tax matters, and handling all types of lawsuits.

Our clients prefer our services to those of other municipal law firms because we are local and invested in our communities. We are a boutique, small firm designed with intentional modesty so that we may offer our municipal clients the affordable, accessible legal services our local municipalities deserve.

We understand our municipal client needs are often not within typical business hours; we are happy to work nights and our cell phones are provided to our municipal clients. We want you to contact us with your needs and we will be accessible to you.

Real Estate ~

Land is a precious commodity, and as with most investments, real estate can bring great rewards but also substantial risks. Abt Swayne Law has decades of experience dealing with real estate legal matters, from acquisition to financing to development and construction. Working with a trusted, expert counsel can help lower your risk and ensure your goals are most effectively met.

Transactional Needs: We can assist clients with drafting contracts or agreements for all types of real estate related needs. Such instruments we routinely draft include offers to purchase, deeds, lease agreements, easements, purchase and sale agreements, correction instruments and rights of refusal agreements.

Litigation Cases: We are experienced trial lawyers with a history of success in real estate litigations including disputes over boundary lines; fence disputes; partition actions; and disputes arising from breaches of agreements to purchase.

General Practice ~

We have provided representation in a number of other practice areas, as well. We have experience in areas including Construction Law, Farm Law, Business Formation, Family Law, Probate, and Civil Litigation. For the time being, we are not offering such services to new clients; this is so that we may assure we offer all our clients the quality services they have come to expect. Please do not hesitate to call to discuss your needs; we will be happy to refer out if we are unable to accept your case at this time.
