Intro
Wiemond is an associate in our Real Estate and Environment section, with an emphasis on real estate litigation. He advises and represents real estate owners, commercial landlords and tenants, developers and managers, and shopping centers in a variety of real estate disputes, including unlawful and forcible detainers to regain possession of property, enforcement of leases and contracts, rent disputes, abatement of trespasses and nuisances, resolution of boundary and easement disputes, and eminent domain and inverse condemnation matters.
