Clients of D&A have come to rely upon the firm’s experience not just with actions for possession but also with claims and legal issues that intersect with real property occupancy:

  • state sanitary and housing code violations;
  • classification of properties as rooming houses;

  • state consumer protection acts; and
  • state claims involving the warranty of habitability, the covenant of quiet enjoyment, etc.

Equipped with their knowledge of the law as well as their knowledge of the practices of the particular courts, the attorneys of D&A thoughtfully advise the firm’s clients both as to the options available as well as the options that have the highest likelihood of success.
