Practice Areas

Sometimes, things just don't work out the way they should have, or the way you think they should have, before the trial court. Luckily, you do have the ability to appeal most decisions rendered by a trial court. The attorneys at Nernberg & Associates have handled numerous such appeals before the Pennsylvania Superior, Commonwealth, and Supreme Courts and have had unparalleled success at every level. If you have a case that is on appeal or that you believe should be appealed, please contact us as soon as possible to discuss your options.

Lawsuits can come in many forms, cover many different issues, and involve anything from the recovery of money owed to the enforcement of contractual duties. Out litigation attorneys can provide you the advice, assistance and protection you need, from the pre-litigation, to settlement negotiations, trial, and appeal, if necessary. We have extensive experience in both state and federal court, including but not limited to, the following areas:

• Business Disputes

• Contract Disputes

• Estates and Trusts

• Construction

• Real Estate Transactions

• Eminent Domain 

• Execution and Collection of Judgments

Although lawsuits in the construction industry are commonplace, given the significant financial danger and possible delay involved when completion, payment, or billing dispute issues arise, it is important to have someone on your side that is as adept at avoiding litigation and resolving issues as they occur as they are at enforcing your rights if and when litigation arises. The attorneys at N&A have extensive experience representing contractors both large and small, project owners, material suppliers, architects, and engineers from the beginning of the project relationship and ultimately as both Plaintiffs and Defendants in mediation, arbitration, and litigation.

We handle all areas of real property law representing property owners in a myriad of disputes from zoning to disputes with other property owners to working with governmental and community groups to meet development requirements. In addition, we also work with landlords, both commercial, residential, and large residential, to draft and enforce agreements with tenants.

Eminent domain is the government’s power to take private property for a public purpose; for example, taking a person’s home in order to widen a highway. Such a taking requires the government to pay just compensation to the owner. Sometimes, the government and the landowner disagree over whether a taking has lawfully occurred or how much the property owner should receive as a result of the government’s actions. This is where the attorneys at N&A can help. They have been involved in numerous such cases involving properties both large and small, commercial and residential, and properties valued at several millions dollars.

Whether you need help drafting or reviewing a contract that you intend to enter into or enforcing or protecting your rights under a current contract, the attorneys at N&A are here to help. They have wide-ranging legal experience in all aspects of contract law in almost any business or personal situation you can imagine. And, as each of the members of N&A have their own small businesses outside of the legal realm, they have real world experience as well.
