Real Estate & Property Litigation Attorney – Tennessee
When property disputes escalate into legal battles, we step in. As a seasoned real estate litigation attorney in Tennessee, Bill Koska represents landowners, developers, corporations, and public entities in high-stakes disputes—cases where the outcome affects real value, not just paperwork.

We focus on complex real estate litigation—not routine evictions, not small claims. If your issue involves boundary rights, land use fights, or government interference with property, we bring decades of courtroom experience to help you resolve it.
Serious Disputes Deserve Strategic Counsel
We handle real estate and property litigation for clients across Middle Tennessee, including Nashville, Columbia, Franklin, Brentwood, and Spring Hill. Whether the conflict is between neighbors or with a government agency, our work is direct, strategic, and grounded in the facts.
Property Line, Title & Easement Disputes
From encroachments and title defects to right-of-way conflicts, property boundaries are a frequent source of litigation in Tennessee. We handle:
-
Boundary disputes over fences, structures, and land surveys
-
Title challenges involving unrecorded easements or conflicting deeds
-
Easement litigation when access rights are blocked or overused
We don’t just quote plat maps—we work with surveyors, title experts, and local assessors to establish the facts. Whether defending or asserting your rights, we bring clarity to murky property lines.

Zoning, Land Use & Permit Disputes
For developers or landowners facing zoning denials, conditional use rejections, or permitting delays, we help untangle the red tape. We represent:
-
Owners challenging local government decisions affecting land value
-
Developers navigating rezoning battles or neighbor opposition
-
Businesses facing permit restrictions on lawful land use
Our litigation and negotiation experience with public agencies gives you a real advocate when growth gets blocked by bureaucracy.
Inverse Condemnation & Government Takings
If a government project or regulation damages your property without formally condemning it, you may have a right to compensation. This is inverse condemnation—and it’s a legal area where we have specific expertise.
We represent landowners in inverse claims when:
-
Public construction causes flooding, erosion, or access loss
-
New ordinances effectively strip property of development value
-
Agencies delay condemnation while limiting use or resale
We also defend municipalities in legitimate public works claims. With over 40 years in inverse condemnation and eminent domain litigation, we understand both sides and provide precise counsel.

Water, Flooding & Environmental Impact on Property
Many property disputes involve water—flooding from a neighbor’s grading, runoff from city infrastructure, or water use affecting neighboring land.
We handle:
-
Drainage conflicts between properties
-
Litigation over water diversion or runoff damage
-
Intersection of riparian rights and land use
With roots in both environmental and real estate law, our firm offers rare insight in cases where water becomes the battleground.
