Saint Louis Missouri Real Estate Litigation Attorney
Real estate transactions often represent a substantial investment on the part of buyers and purchasers. Careful legal advice during a real estate transaction may help protect you against future financial and legal liability and avoid future legal headaches. When disputes do arise and cannot be resolved through mediation, settlement or arbitration, litigation may be necessary.
When real estate litigation is the only option, contact a skilled Saint Louis real estate lawyer with litigation experience. I will seek to undertake the most cost-effective approach to solve your real estate problems.
L. Steven Goldblatt has the experience, expertise and resources needed to litigate real property disputes. I have handled almost all types of real property litigation in both Missouri state and federal Courts.

Landlord Tenant Disputes
Landlords and tenants often run into trouble when they take action without first understanding their rights and obligations. Landlords cannot evict someone, turn off utilities, or enter an apartment without first following proper procedures for doing so under the law. Alternatively, tenants cannot withhold rent, change the locks on their apartment door, or ignore their rental agreement simply because their landlord fails to repair broken appliances, refund a security deposit, or open community recreational facilities.
Steven Goldblatt advises and represents both landlords and tenants in cases involving evictions, rent payment, habitability, lease enforcement and other disputes involving rental property.
Slum Lords
Landlords often violate laws affecting the safety and habitability of the property they lease or rent to their tenants. When this happens on a large scale, many people living in a single building can be harmed depending upon the neglect and degree of disregard of the landlord. Steven Goldblatt St. Louis real estate attorney is well well-equipped to address these issues to ensure that tenant rights are protected.
