Litigation can easily become a headache for businesses, diverting attention and draining resources. We understand the relentless demands of day-to-day operations for business owners like you, where the focus should remain on core activities. Your legal team should minimize disruptions, not add to them. While there's no shortage of capable litigators vying for your attention, you deserve more than just competence. You need a litigation team that not only brings experience to the table but also excels in communication and respects your financial constraints. Legal services can feel more like expenses than strategic investments without this synergy.

With DHPW’s extensive experience, commitment to transparent communication, and dedication to working within your budget, we're primed to address your litigation needs effectively. Whether it's minimizing risks upfront or pursuing amicable resolutions, we're prepared to go the distance to safeguard your interests. Our client roster spans from large corporations to individual professionals, and each client receives the same level of commitment and attention to detail. DHPW’s litigation approach remains consistent: align on strategy and budget, diligently (and strategically) advance the case, maintain transparent communication, and relentlessly pursue the best outcome for you. 

DHPW specializes in guiding businesses through the intricate landscape of insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings. Whether you're grappling with financial distress, contemplating restructuring under Chapter 11, exploring the advantages of Subchapter V, or seeking relief through Chapter 7, our seasoned team stands ready to provide expert counsel and unwavering support at every turn. With our profound understanding of bankruptcy law and the unique intricacies of each option, we tailor our approach to suit your specific needs. DHPW’s legal team combines meticulous strategic planning with adept negotiation and litigation skills, tirelessly navigating the complexities of insolvency alongside our clients.

With DHPW as your legal partner, you can trust our commitment to finding practical solutions and securing a brighter financial horizon. We recognize the significance of each case, understanding that effective representation demands legal expertise and a keen grasp of business dynamics and financial intricacies. We delve deep to identify pivotal points and devise strategies that facilitate reorganization, operational restructuring, and creditor collaboration. Our track record spans diverse industries, from real estate and construction to healthcare and hospitality, yet our commitment remains unwavering: no viable business should go down without a fight.

With all the real estate acquisitions and investments in Middle Tennessee, a lot of people stand to make or lose a lot of money. In order to preserve and protect real estate assets, conscientious lawyering is required. We’re there on both ends: transactional (deals need to address all the details) and litigation (disputes need to be resolved to preserve equity). 

Here are some real estate areas we’ve handled:

  • Title defects

  • Easements

  • Adverse possession, encroachment, and boundary disputes

  • Partition actions

  • Quiet title

  • Deed reformation

  • Landlord/tenant dispute

  • Horizontal property regimes

  • Commercial lease agreements

  • HOA governance

  • Debt and equity financing for commercial real estate projects

  • Builder/contractor/construction disputes

While real estate builds wealth, a downturn in the market can lead to depressed values, reduced cash flow, and minimal borrowing power. Our real estate practice also includes representing these individuals or entities to reorganize their real estate or construction business under Chapter 11, or to protect their interests as a creditor in Chapter 11.
