Volk Law Offices, P.A. - Melbourne, FL

Results matter.

Good results most often flow from dealing with knowledgeable, experienced legal professionals that will take your problem to heart and care about solving it. VolkLaw helps clients with business, money, and property problems and opportunities. Some lawyers think clients are a problem. We don’t think that way. We collaborate with our clients. Lawsuits and deals are stressful. We involve you and you will feel you are part of what is going on. The process will not feel mysterious and difficult.

A smart lawyer does more than work for clients. The smart lawyer works with clients. You don’t hire a lawyer just because they are likeable. You need a lawyer who is concerned about you and is effective in pursing your problem-solving objectives. You want someone who has been around and has learned from experience in the particular specialized area you want help with. That is smart business. If you are reading this, you are in the right place to make a smart choice. We are determined to help you take control of the problem you are dealing with. Business and real estate opportunities are in a way problems, because if you pursue them improperly, you probably will not like where you end up.

VolkLaw has an internal motto: we want the hard cases; anyone can win the easy ones! There is a bonus for us there: the hard cases are more interesting. It takes persistence and patience. With the ultimate goal always in mind, you march on. And, when we solve a tough problem, it feels good. For instance, we have saved a lot of people from financial catastrophe. That feels great!

Striving to be the best, we don’t merely provide services. We collaborate with our clients. We know how important it is to involve a client whenever possible. Our clients know the facts and have opinions about their situation. They know the opposition or other side of a deal better than we do. So, we actively involve our clients in helping us to get the best outcome we can. We even want you telling us if you are unhappy about something. Any team can get off track once in a while. We want to get back on track quickly when that happens.

VolkLaw has the broad range of experience to handle virtually any type of business or real property case in the Melbourne, Florida area. That means from one end of Brevard County to the other end. That is where the courthouses we most usually go to are located. If it is an area that requires unique expertise we do not currently possess, such as patent work, we can steer you in the right direction.

You need to understand what you are agreeing to in a contract. We can help you with that. A contract is a set of promises made by two or more parties to each other. The basic elements of a contract are mutual consideration which means something of value, capacity to contract which means the law recognizes you as capable of entering into a legally binding agreement, assent which means you agree to the contract terms, and legality meaning it does not deal with an illegal activity such as gambling.

When people consider doing business, they are usually on good terms, assume everyone understands the deal the same way, and that there is no need to say what the consequences are if someone violates the contract. A well written legally clear and binding contract prepared by VolkLaw can help you make sure you understand the deal completely including what happens if something goes wrong. We once handled a $300,000.00+ airplane sale and purchase dispute where the buyer and seller banged out a few sentences on the deal. Surprise, surprise: they did not agree on what it meant when it came time for the deal to close. It cost both sides a lot of money in court.

Real estate deals are complex and carry potentially disastrous financial risks. Imagine buying a piece of property with other people claiming an ownership interest in or finding out you cannot build what you want to build on that land. Or, that the property had defects in it that the seller knew about and did not tell you about or lied about.

Real estate law involves more than just the obviously physical aspects. It is a branch of civil law that protects the right to own and use land, as well as any permanently affixed trees, minerals, man-made additions, structures, buildings, or other fixtures and improvements on the land. It includes benefits, rights, and interests that are legally attached to the property such as: possible rights to the airspace above the property, rights to reside on the land for a specific amount of time, rights to drill into the ground under the property, and much more. This branch of law impacts most people on a daily basis, though you may not realize it.

We can shepherd you through business and real property disputes and deals. We go to court routinely so we can anticipate how an agreement will be interpreted and also understand the language that should be included and avoided. If a falling out occurs, we can help you determine if a breach has occurred and what your options are when that happens. You do not have to be a business owner to take advantage of the services offered by the team at Volk Law Offices. Anyone may become embroiled in a lawsuit or other dispute. You must understand your rights and responsibilities when conflict arises so you are able to make informed decisions.

We are experienced and we care about our clients' outcomes. Thank you for considering having us help you.
