Ownership Disputes, Resolved
When real property is contested — title disputes, boundary conflicts, commercial development litigation, partnership disputes over real estate interests — the matter demands an attorney willing to take it to trial if necessary.
The Scope
Disputes at Scale
Real property disputes, at scale, are among Nevada's most consequential commercial matters. The practice addresses title disputes and quiet title actions where ownership itself is contested; commercial real estate litigation involving acquisitions, leases, and breach; boundary and easement conflicts where adjoining interests have drifted out of alignment; and partnership disputes over real estate interests, both operational and ownership-structured.
Construction and development litigation — delay claims, payment disputes, performance defects, and lien-priority questions — constitute a substantial portion of the practice. Commercial landlord-tenant disputes at scale are also within scope, particularly where the underlying commercial relationship requires a trial-ready posture.
The practice is not oriented toward routine residential transactions or boundary disputes of modest scope. Matters are accepted where the financial exposure and legal complexity justify the engagement.
The Approach
Preparation Is the Practice
Real property matters reward preparation. Title searches, expert title reports, appraisals, and survey evidence define the trial. The flat-fee model means this preparation is unconstrained — every document is reviewed, every title chain is traced, every expert who should be retained is retained.
As in all of Mr. McKenna's matters, preparation is also what produces settlement. Opposing counsel evaluate exposure against the defense they expect to face. When the engagement is known to be trial-ready from day one, the calculus shifts.
