Litigation attorneys
Thrift Legal
Thrift McLemore, which operates the thriftlegal.com site, is a law firm with offices in Atlanta and Macon, Georgia and in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It practices in three areas that overlap for property owners: real estate, business and corporate law, and estate planning.
The real estate group represents buyers, sellers, landlords, and developers. Work includes commercial leases, commercial purchases and sales, contract disputes, construction disputes, evictions and landlord-tenant matters, quiet title actions, and partition cases involving shared ownership. The firm also advises on zoning, planning, and land use, and drafts and enforces promissory notes. Litigation practice covers construction defects and change orders, failed home inspections, partnership and shareholder disputes, breach of fiduciary duty, commercial collections, and general civil litigation.
On the business side, the firm handles entity selection and formation, foundational documents, mergers and acquisitions, contract drafting and negotiation, buy-sell agreements, succession planning, franchise and dealership law, and outside general counsel work. The estate planning group prepares wills, revocable living trusts, special needs trusts, powers of attorney, and advance healthcare directives, and handles probate and estate administration. Attorneys are licensed in Georgia, Florida, and New York, and the firm offers a free consultation.
The site markets itself as Thrift McLemore rather than Thrift Legal, and lists a Florida office, so confirm which entity and which attorney covers the state where the property sits.
