Managing Attorney, Real Estate Law LLC
Kjel Horneland
Founder & Managing Attorney
Real Estate Law, LLC

Real Estate Law, LLC was founded on a simple premise: commercial real estate clients deserve an attorney who does nothing else. Not a generalist who handles real estate on the side. Not a large firm where your matter gets handed to a junior associate. A dedicated commercial real estate attorney with the depth of experience to handle anything the market throws at you.

The firm's practice was built on simplifying transactions. Our managing attorney has experience not only representing landlords and tenants, but also being a landlord, developing real estate, and being deeply involved with the long-term nature of the effects these agreements have on values, ease,

Over 15 years of practice of Mr. Horneland with extensive experience in commercial real estate practice, the firm has handled hundreds of lease negotiations, contract drafts, and transactional matters. Mr. Horneland has handled hundreds for trials successfully.  That trial record is not incidental. It means that when we draft a lease or review a contract, we are thinking about how every clause performs under pressure, in a courtroom, in front of a judge. That discipline makes our transactional work sharper and provides better solutions.

We represent landlords, tenants, buyers, sellers, and creditors across Florida's commercial real estate market. We do not take sides by default — we take your side. And because we work all sides of every type of deal, we know exactly what the other party is looking for, and how to counter it.

Areas of Deep Expertise

Creditor Representation

The foundation of the firm's practice. Mortgage foreclosures, lien enforcement, guaranty actions, and deficiency proceedings — we know the creditor's playbook because we wrote it.

Commercial Lease Work

Hundreds of leases drafted, reviewed, and negotiated across office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use properties. NNN, gross, modified gross — every structure, every property type.

Trial Litigation

Over 200 trials in Florida courts. Breach of contract, evictions, fraud, specific performance, injunctive relief. We prepare every case as if it is going to trial — because it might.

Contract Drafting & Review

Purchase agreements, letters of intent, option agreements, management contracts. Drafted to hold up in court and negotiated to protect your position at the table.

The Firm's Philosophy

Commercial real estate is not a sideline for us. It is the only thing we do. That focus is not a limitation — it is the point.

Every attorney at a large general practice firm is dividing their attention. Every hour they spend on a family law matter or a personal injury case is an hour they are not deepening their commercial real estate expertise. We made a different choice. Fifteen years ago, we committed to one area of law and have never deviated. The result is a depth of knowledge and a network of relationships in Florida's commercial real estate market that a generalist simply cannot match.
