About Us

We Help with "Business Divorces"

Real estate and business conflicts often involve people who are tied through a business venture or property, but they can no longer do business together.  These toxic financial relationships can be as financially and emotionally draining as a bad marriage.  Ms. Seltzer helps her clients "business divorce" while balancing the collateral damage to the business itself, and the financial interests of all the parties.

She focuses her practice on disputes involving: 

• Investments 
• Partnerships
• Real Estate Transactions (including Escrow and Title disputes)
• Non-Disclosure issues in Business and Real Estate
• Accounting Claims
• Recovery on Loans
• Neighbor Complaints and Issues
• Leases 

Litigation is One Tool, But Not the Only Tool.

People thinking "winning" a case is winning at trial.  A win is actually netting the same or better result for less money.  We do this through a focus on early settlements.  The result is that Ms. Seltzer settles 90% of her clients' cases at or before the first mediation.    

Settlement allows the parties to control aspects of their dealings with the other side that litigation often cannot address, including:

• Ongoing business relationships
• Resolving business debts or liabilities
• The knowledge and expertise of the parties
• Protection from future liability
• Waivers of claims for other potential issues 
• Emotional or sentimental value of a business or property
• Transfers or creations of other interests or use of leverage instead of exchange of cash
• Tax advantageous structures
• Timing

Neither side makes money while a case languishes in litigation. The goal is to use litigation to assert your rights, fight for them, and create pressure points for settlement, so that you can get back  to focusing on your life and your business!
