What types of real estate disputes does Bezer Law handle in Bergen County?

We represent buyers, sellers, owners, landlords, HOAs/condo associations, tenants, neighbors, and investors in title and deed issues, code violations, zoning and planning matters, contractor disputes, LLC ownership conflicts, flooding/water intrusion, landlord–tenant disputes, and breach of contract.

Do I need a Bergen County real estate attorney for code violations or zoning board applications?

Yes. We address Uniform Construction Code, building, fire safety, electrical, plumbing, and property maintenance violations and guide clients through zoning and planning board applications to protect property rights and compliance.

Can a buyer force a property sale through specific performance in New Jersey?

In certain breach-of-contract cases, a buyer may seek specific performance to compel the seller to complete the sale. We evaluate contract terms, contingencies, and timelines to determine if specific performance is a viable remedy.

How does Bezer Law resolve contractor disputes?

Whether a contractor abandoned a project or a property owner refuses payment, we pursue or defend claims for contract enforcement, damages, liens, and other remedies to resolve the dispute efficiently.

What can I do about flooding or water intrusion from a neighboring property?

We investigate drainage, grading, and maintenance issues, seek injunctions or repairs, and pursue damages where appropriate. Our goal is to stop the intrusion and remediate harm to your property.

Can Bezer Law help with deed corrections, easements, and title defects?

Yes. We prepare and record deed corrections, draft easements (for access like shared driveways), address title defects, and assist with ownership updates such as adding family members to a deed.

Does Bezer Law handle landlord–tenant and eviction matters in Bergen County?

We represent both landlords and tenants. We advise on quiet enjoyment, lease compliance, nonpayment of rent, and lawful eviction procedures under New Jersey’s landlord–tenant laws.

What if my realtor, broker, title company, inspector, or other professional made a costly mistake?

We pursue professional negligence claims arising from real estate transactions, working to recover losses caused by errors or omissions by agents, brokers, title companies, inspectors, surveyors, or other professionals.

Do you work with real estate held in LLCs and member buyouts?

Yes. We advise on LLC compliance, operating agreements, member disputes, and equity buyouts, including negotiated resolutions and litigation when necessary.

How do I get started with a Bergen County real estate lawyer at Bezer Law?

Contact our North Jersey office in Lyndhurst to schedule a consultation. We will review your goals, documents, and deadlines and outline a strategy tailored to your real estate matter.

Do I need a New Jersey trademark lawyer to register a trademark?

You can file on your own, but working with an experienced New Jersey trademark lawyer helps you select strong classes, prepare acceptable specimens, avoid refusals, and protect the mark long-term.

How long does federal trademark registration take?

Most USPTO applications take 8–14 months depending on the filing basis, office actions, and potential oppositions. We monitor deadlines and respond to USPTO inquiries to keep your application moving.

What is the difference between ™ and ®?

™ indicates a claimed but unregistered mark. ® may only be used after the USPTO grants federal registration. Using ® before registration can trigger penalties.

I found someone using my brand—what should I do first?

Document the use, save dated screenshots and sales links, and contact counsel before engaging. We evaluate strength, priority, and likelihood of confusion, then recommend a cease-and-desist, takedown, or litigation strategy.

What defenses exist if I am sued for trademark infringement?

Common defenses include no likelihood of confusion, fair use, generic or descriptive use, prior use, abandonment, and defects in the plaintiff’s registration. We also challenge scope and damages.

Do common-law rights protect my brand without registration?

Yes, you gain limited geographic rights through use. However, federal registration provides nationwide priority (subject to earlier users), stronger enforcement tools, and public notice.

How much does a trademark cost?

Costs include USPTO filing fees per class, plus legal fees for clearance, drafting, and responding to office actions. We provide clear, upfront pricing based on the complexity of your filing.

What ongoing maintenance does a trademark require?

You must file maintenance documents and proof of use at specific intervals (between years 5–6, 9–10, and every 10 years thereafter). Missing these deadlines can result in cancellation.

Can I license or sell my trademark or other IP?

Yes. IP can be licensed for royalties, assigned (sold), or transferred to heirs. We draft licenses and assignments to preserve quality control and avoid abandonment risks.

What is the difference between trademarks and copyrights?

Trademarks protect source identifiers (names, logos, slogans). Copyrights protect original works (text, photos, music, code). Many brands need both for full protection.

Do I need to register a copyright before enforcing it?

In the U.S., registration is generally required to file a lawsuit and to claim statutory damages and attorney’s fees. We handle expedited filings when urgent enforcement is needed.

Can you help with online takedowns (Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, social media)?

Yes. We use trademark and copyright tools to submit platform takedowns, preserve evidence, and coordinate parallel cease-and-desist efforts when appropriate.

Do you serve clients in Bergen County and across New Jersey?

Yes. Our Bergen County trademark lawyers represent businesses locally and statewide, handling registration, enforcement, defense, licensing, and IP strategy.

Bergen County Real Estate Litigation

At Bezer Law, our commercial and residential real estate litigation expertise allows us to effectively represent buyers, sellers, property owners, landlords, HOAs, condominium associations, tenants, neighbors, and other parties involved in property disputes. As an experienced Bergen County real estate attorney, we handle complex matters with precision and a deep understanding of local laws, ensuring clients receive the strongest possible representation.

Our role as a Bergen County real estate lawyer is to resolve disputes efficiently and secure favorable outcomes. We have successfully represented clients in a wide range of real estate litigation, including:

Issues with local governments

Your municipality or county government may attempt to restrict your property use or require compliance with certain regulations. We assist clients with code violations involving the Uniform Construction Code, building code, fire safety code, electrical code, plumbing code, and property maintenance standards. We also guide clients through zoning board and planning board applications to protect their property rights.

Contractor Disputes

When contractors abandon a project or property owners fail to pay for satisfactorily completed work, legal action is often necessary. We help clients pursue or defend against claims, ensuring contracts are enforced and financial losses are minimized.

LLC Ownership & Equity Disputes

Many real estate investors choose to hold properties through LLCs. We advise on compliance with LLC laws, ownership agreements, and disputes between members. If a partner wishes to exit the LLC and claim their equity share, our firm can guide negotiations or litigation to achieve fair resolution.

Breach of Contract & Specific Performance

Real estate contracts define the rights and obligations of buyers and sellers. When one party fails to uphold their agreement, we take decisive action. In cases involving buyers, we may seek specific performance, compelling the seller to complete the sale rather than offer financial compensation.

Deed and Title Issues

Your property’s title defines ownership and any claims against it. We handle title defects, easement agreements (such as driveway access), deed corrections, and ownership updates — for example, adding a family member to the deed.

Flooding & Water Intrusion Disputes

Neighboring property owners must prevent water from flooding your land. We take legal action to stop and remedy flooding caused by improper grading, drainage, or negligence.

Landlord - Tenant & Eviction Matters

In New Jersey, tenants enjoy strong rights, but landlords also have legal remedies. We represent both sides in disputes over “quiet enjoyment,” nonpayment of rent, and lawful evictions. Whether you are a landlord seeking to remove a nonpaying tenant or a tenant defending your rights, our real estate attorney Bergen County services provide clear legal direction.

Professionals Negligence in Real estate Transactions

If your real estate agent, broker, title company, architect, surveyor, insurance agent, or home inspector made an error that cost you money, we pursue claims for professional negligence to recover your losses.
