Experienced Florida Real Estate Attorney
Protecting Property Rights and Resolving Ownership Disputes
For nearly three decades, attorney Renée Marie Smith has helped individuals, property owners, investors, and businesses navigate real estate and legal matters throughout Florida. Admitted to The Florida Bar in 1997, Renée brings together legal experience, business knowledge, and a practical understanding of real estate transactions and litigation. Her approach focuses on helping clients understand their rights, evaluate their options, and pursue solutions that protect their financial interests.
A Focus on Partition Actions and Ownership Disputes
Real estate ownership disputes can be financially and emotionally challenging, particularly when family members, former partners, heirs, or business associates disagree about jointly owned property. These disputes may involve mortgage payments, property taxes, improvements, inherited interests, unequal financial contributions, and disagreements over who may occupy or sell the property.
Renée’s practice includes representing property owners in Florida partition actions and related disputes involving:
- Co-owners who refuse to sell jointly owned real estate
- Siblings and heirs who disagree about inherited property
- Former spouses or unmarried partners who cannot agree on property ownership
- Property owners excluded from the use or enjoyment of jointly owned property
- Disputes involving expenses, contributions, occupancy, and potential credits
- Investors and business partners seeking to resolve shared real estate ownership
Every ownership dispute presents unique legal and financial circumstances. Renée believes clients deserve an individualized evaluation, a clear explanation of their legal rights, and an informed strategy for moving forward.
Experience Beyond the Courtroom
Renée’s legal background extends beyond litigation to residential and commercial real estate transactions, title matters, contract negotiations, and business law. This combination of transactional and litigation experience provides perspective when evaluating ownership interests and possible remedies. Understanding how property is purchased, financed, titled, managed, and sold is an important part of resolving ownership disputes.
Education and Professional Background
Renée earned her undergraduate degree in Political Science and Economics from Case Western Reserve University and her Juris Doctor from Cleveland-Marshall College of Law at Cleveland State University. Her professional experience includes business and corporate environments as well as private legal practice. She has also developed and operated businesses connected to real estate, legal services, and professional development. Renée is an author and has contributed educational content on real estate, business, and financial recovery.
A Personal Approach to Representation
Effective representation begins with understanding each client’s circumstances and objectives. Some clients want to sell property and recover their equity. Others hope to preserve ownership, negotiate a buyout, or resolve disagreements over expenses and occupancy. No single solution is appropriate for every partition dispute. Renée’s goal is to provide straightforward guidance, explain the available options, and help clients pursue an appropriate resolution based on the facts and applicable Florida law.
When property ownership becomes a dispute, understanding your rights is the first step toward protecting your investment.
