Serving the West Essex community and surrounding area for over a decade

Real Estate Law

Accomplished Real Estate Lawyer

For more than a decade, I have primarily served clients throughout West Essex in real estate law. I take pride in helping our community develop through working with business entities and individuals on the purchase, refinance, sale or lease of commercial and residential property.

I am lawyer Bret Steig with nearly 15 years of experience helping clients with what is usually their largest investment — purchasing and selling property. Whether you have encountered a contract dispute or need help with a short sale, I am well-prepared to provide you with the best representation possible.

Looking for a real estate attorney? I invite you to contact me by e-mail or call (973) 403-6700 to schedule a free initial phone consultation.


Residential Real Estate

At the law office of A. Bret Steig, Attorney at Law, I am privileged to assist clients with one of the most significant transactions of their lives. Being a first time homeowner can be exciting, but also frustrating and overwhelming even if problems do not arise. An experienced real estate lawyer who knows the community and has a firm grasp on the laws that govern such transactions, can help to avoid the pitfalls and problems that may otherwise occur.

Commercial and Multifamily Real Estate

I work with businesses and investors wishing to purchase property for their commercial development projects, for rental income or for renovation, assisting with zoning issues and helping them obtain the necessary municipal approvals. In addition, I work with individuals who purchased or are renting multifamily units. I understand the specific laws that pertain to this type of purchase and lease arrangement, and I can help work through issues today while preventing future problems.

Tenancy

The relationship between landlords and tenants is often tenuous. Failure to pay rent or unresolved maintenance issues can escalate, requiring legal intervention. As an attorney who has worked for a number of years in real estate law, I am able to help clients resolve their issues whether through a settlement or court proceedings.

Real Estate Litigation

Some real estate matters cannot be resolved through drafting or negotiating a contract. When your real estate dilemmas escalate, I will provide you with the best representation possible to protect your assets.
