Harper J. Dimmerman
Adjunct Professor, AV Rated, PA Super Lawyer Rising Star - Redefining Lawyering
This leading real estate law and civil litigation firm was founded in 2004 by an adjunct professor, lecturer and published contributor to "The Legal Intelligencer." Mr. Dimmerman understands that you have choices and has the utmost respect for his contemporaries in the legal community. His approach to the practice of law is to treat all clients like family, and ensure that they are equipped to make the most cost-effective decisions possible. He strives to empower them with knowledge and also to discourage litigation when a cost-benefit analysis indicates a more productive outcome. He understands that law, especially litigation, can be emotionally charged. However, he is committed to not letting the emotion impact his judgment or the necessary dissemination of legal advice.
Mr. Dimmerman holds the highest rating of his peers (AV) with Martindale-Hubbell and has been named as a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer "Rising Star" on several occasions. He has a degree in English Literature from Vassar College, graduated "cum laude" from the University of Miami School Law, where he was a member of the Business Law Review, received an award for excellence in Research and Writing, and interned for a Federal Judge during his first summer. He also attended the Wharton School (evening, undergraduate) and Sophia University in Tokyo, Japan.

- Q. brought home frm estate, exec never had Ok from court to sell how can i get clear title if exec is in another state. PA
- A: I concur with Mr. Snyderman that you should begin with the title insurance underwriter. It sounds like you may have a fraud claim (these are governed by a two year time limit), which could be a basis for rescission if you are willing to file suit. You should confer with an attorney immediately as the value of property and resale ability are obviously impacted. Also, you may want to explore a quiet title action if there is another ownership interest that can be extinguished. However, at the end of the day, you should have insurance coverage which would also cover the carrier's lawyer assisting to clear up this title defect.
- Q. Do I need a lawyer to sell my house?
- A: Although I agree with Mr. Snyderman that there is no actual requirement that one must utilize an attorney to sell his/her house, the disclosure laws in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania can be quite strict, considering that even an innocent misrepresentation can be actionable after the real estate is transferred. In my experience, ensuring that the proper disclosure is given, even before an offer in made by the buyer, can be an extremely important part of the process. Once the agreement is signed by both parties, generally the buyer's agent or the title company will request information from the seller. A lawyer may also be able to simplify those questions or to tender the necessary information. Finally, making sure that you are receiving all monies to which you are entitled is another task an attorney can help with. Best, Harper J. Dimmerman, Esquire (LLF)
