Commercial and Residential Real Estate Attorneys
Ziegler, Metzger & Miller, LLP has handled real estate matters throughout the State of Ohio since 1952. Our longevity has given us significant insights into the ever changing trends and dynamics of the real estate industry. A substantial number of clients are located within the seven counties surrounding Cleveland, Ohio.
If you would like to schedule an initial consultation with a lawyer at our firm, we welcome you to contact our offices any time. ZMM has been selected for inclusion in the Bar Registry of Preeminent Lawyers.
Clients include numerous downtown Cleveland office building owners, regional shopping centers, restaurants, multiple industrial owners, real estate investment trusts, the world's largest commercial brokerage and many lenders which have taken over real estate projects.
Our attorneys represent primarily the owners of these properties, but frequently are engaged on behalf of tenants to negotiate lease terms and/or sale lease backs.
We have been active in the acquisition/disposition of a half dozen or more downtown Cleveland office building sales and have negotiated hundreds of downtown Cleveland office leases on behalf of current and past ownership entities. Our attorneys have done acreage assemblage for regional shopping centers and have negotiated anchor and small tenant leases primarily on behalf of the owners, but in many instances on behalf of tenants also.
We have negotiated with lenders for both construction lending and permanent financing, both locally and nationally.
Our attorneys have significant experience in the representation of court appointed Receivers of distressed, but income productive, real estate projects. The engagements have been overseen by both federal court and common pleas court and have resulted in successful disposition of properties suitable for conservation easements and administer those easements on an on-going basis. Through the utilization of conservation easements our attorneys have helped preserve parkland, wetlands, forests, streams and rivers and other sensitive ecologies so that future generations may enjoy them. As our cities continue to grow, our need to preserve open space becomes greater and greater. We work with individuals and corporations wishing to donate and conserve real estate through the grant of conservation easements.
Individualized Treatment for Each Client
Because we are a mid-sized law firm, our attorneys are able to work more directly with each client than they would at a larger firm. Attorneys and clients get to know one another well, allowing us to stay sensitive and responsive to the unique nuances that make each case and each client unique. The lawyers primarily handling real estate are:
- Nicholas C. De Santis
- Howard E. Hendershott, Jr
- John E. Redeker
- Lisa J. Roth
- Kirk W. Roessler
- Christopher E. Soukup
In every case, we seek to provide counsel of good value to our clients. We strive for efficiency and effectiveness, achieving the best possible results while keeping costs to a minimum.
