Whether it\u2019s a boundary dispute,<br \/>\n        title dispute, or breach of contract, we have the knowledge and resources to take on the most complex cases.\n    <\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Contract Law<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n        A contract can be based on a verbal agreement and a handshake, or set out in a voluminous document with clauses, sub-clauses,<br \/>\n        and exhibits. We\u2019ve seen it all. We\u2019re ready to draft the contract you need, or litigate if the other party hasn\u2019t lived<br \/>\n        up to their end of the bargain.\n    <\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Condemnation Law<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n        When the government exercises its right of eminent domain, it must pay you fair compensation. Too often, the offer made to<br \/>\n        a landowner is far from fair. We will assist you in negotiating with the state agency, obtaining an accurate valuation of<br \/>\n        your land, and going to trial if necessary. We take most condemnation cases on a contingent fee, which means you don\u2019t pay<br \/>\n        anything unless you make more than the government\u2019s initial offer.\n    <\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Zoning Law<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n        We practice all areas of zoning law, from re-zoning to challenging zoning regulations in court. We have vast experience in<br \/>\n        legislative zoning matters and quasi-judicial zoning matters.\n    <\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Municipal Law<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n        Municipalities are exercising increasing control over private property rights, businesses, and individuals. We have decades<br \/>\n        of experience in challenging municipal regulations at the trial level and appellate level.\n    <\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Business Law<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n        Businesses large and small can rely on our law firm to guide them through today\u2019s complex regulatory landscape. Litigation<br \/>\n        is often a necessity in the business world. We have the knowledge and expertise to ensure that you come out on top, whether<br \/>\n        in negotiations or in the courtroom.\n    <\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Appeals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n        Jim Scarbrough began his legal career as a law clerk at the NC Court of Appeals. Since then, he has handled more than 100<br \/>\n        appeals before the Court of Appeals and NC Supreme Court. John Scarbrough has argued before the Full Commission of the NC<br \/>\n        Industrial Commission, the Court of Appeals, and the NC Supreme Court. He was recently admitted to the Bar of the U.S. Supreme<br \/>\n        Court.\n    <\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Homeowners Association and Planned Community Act<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n        Homeowners associations and the planned community act regulate today\u2019s modern residential subdivisions. We have experience<br \/>\n        in enforcement of subdivision covenants and restrictions and the planned community act.\n    <\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Constitutional Law<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n        Most attorneys are unfamiliar with the North Carolina State Constitution. It provides the same protections as the Federal<br \/>\n        Constitution, but is rarely cited. We have experience in asserting claims under the procedural and substantive due process<br \/>\n        clauses of the State Constitution.\n    <\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Unlawful Government Taxes and Regulations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n        We have challenged local and state taxes and regulations for decades. Too often, government seeks new revenue, but without<br \/>\n        proper authority under the State Constitution. We have had success in challenging many of these unlawful taxes and regulations.\n    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"General Civil Litigation No matter how complex the litigation, we have the resources, knowledge, and experience to take up the fight.
