🏚️ Did the Seller Hide a Property Defect? Know Your Rights.

FAILURE TO DISCLOSE/ JOHNSONV V. DAVIS CLAIMS: At The Law Offices of Denise L. Adkins, P.A. (Winter Springs, Florida), we understand that Florida law requires sellers to disclose any known material defects in a property. When a buyer discovers a hidden issue—whether it’s a structural defect, water intrusion, or another serious condition that was intentionally or negligently omitted—our firm can assist. Under the landmark Johnson v. Davis decision, a seller’s failure to disclose defects that affect value or habitability may give rise to claims for rescission or damages. As experienced Johnson v. Davis attorneys, we help clients evaluate their rights and pursue appropriate relief.

In addition to statutory disclosure obligations, some sellers may commit outright fraud by concealing problems or providing false information. As knowledgeable real estate fraud lawyers, we work with inspectors and other experts to investigate the facts, gather evidence, and seek compensation—whether through contract rescission, diminution in value, or, in limited cases, punitive damages. Our goal is to navigate Florida’s disclosure laws and procedures carefully so you can protect your investment with confidence.

🤝 Our Strategic Real Estate Alliance Program

We go beyond legal paperwork. We partner with:

  • Licensed Florida real estate agents;
  • Investment advisors; and
  • Real estate companies.

This collaborative approach gives our clients the edge—whether you’re navigating a home purchase, investing in rental property, or building a real estate portfolio.

HOW IT WORKS


When you work with one of our participating real estate agents, you also unlock access to legal guidance through The Law Offices of Denise L. Adkins, P.A., for critical moments in your transaction where most buyers are left guessing.

From reviewing your purchase contract and title documents to evaluating your mortgage paperwork, our legal team provides trusted oversight of the biggest financial transaction most people will ever make. Think of it as legal protection built into the process, not an afterthought.

Unlike working with an agent alone, you’ll know that the fine print is being reviewed by an experienced Florida real estate attorney, so you can sign with clarity, not just confidence.

You’ll engage your agent and attorney separately, and you’ll receive separate invoices—but because of our strategic alliance, the combined pricing is typically comparable to what you’d pay for a single full-service agent. (Every deal is different, so fees may vary based on the scope of legal services and the property value; but we’ll explain everything upfront.)

With over two decades of real estate experience, Denise personally trains every participating agent in legal-first service. Together, our legal and real estate professionals work as a coordinated team to help you close smarter, safer, and more securely.

If you think that kind of peace of mind is worth exploring, we invite you to schedule a consultation and see if this unique approach is the right fit for your next move.

Plain Talk for Smart Clients:

  1. You’ll have two dedicated professionals, your real estate agent and your attorney, each working for you, each billing separately. No surprises, no hidden fees just clear guidance every step of the way.
  2. Your actual combined cost will depend on the complexity and scope of services.
