Perkins Law Offices Successfully Handles Litigation for $16 Million Miami Design District Real Estate Deal

CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 30, 2015 / From Lawsuit to $16 Million Property Deal: Perkins Law Offices
negotiates lucrative sale of last two parcels of land in highly sought
after Design District block with New York-based Thor Equities, despite
legal roadblocks along the way.

Perkins Law Offices
today announced the successful completion of a legal battle for the
control and sale of a group of adjoining properties in Miami’s booming
Design District. It began with the appointment of Perkins Law Offices to
defend the estate of James H. Michael, a 92 year-old man who had owned
the properties in the Design District since the 1950’s. Attorney Alexander J. Perkins,
Esq. and founder of Perkins Law Offices, fought aggressively on behalf
of the estate and its survivors to combat attacks from a former tenant
claiming option rights on the properties for a fraction of their value.
Alex Perkins was able to successfully get the fiercely contested case
dismissed with prejudice in Miami-Dade Circuit Court and thereafter
represented the family’s estate in selling the properties to New
York-based real estate heavyweight investment firm, Thor Equities, for
16 million dollars.

“I am thrilled that we were able to secure a
deal for the heirs that is just and worthy of their family patriarch’s
long term vision and investment,” said Perkins. “Not only are they now
rid of the former tenant’s repeated attempts to take advantage of Mr.
Michael and his heirs, but we were able to negotiate a deal that will
allow Mr. Michael’s last wishes to be realized for his family so that he
may rest in peace.”

The adjacent properties, 56 Northeast 40th
Street and 55 Northeast 39th Street, form 9,700 square feet of land and
include frontage space on both 39th and 40th streets. Thor Equities had
its sights set on purchasing the land as they assembled several
neighboring lots for a luxury retail and mixed use project. Attorney
Alex Perkins negotiated the terms with Thor who bested other bidders. Lyle Chariff of Chariff Realty Group assisted Thor as its local broker.
