Sadly, in business and real estate, disputes are often a part of the journey. Whether it's a messy contract or a partner who doesn't hold up their end of the deal, you need more than just legal expertise; you need a team that can tell your story of justice in a compelling way. Our litigators combine their sharp legal skills with a deep understanding of how business and real estate work to build strategies that are as compelling as they are effective.
The skilled counselors who will be helping you
Business Litigation
Most business disputes stem from broken deals. Whether it's a supplier failing to deliver, a partner violating agreements, or a competitor stealing proprietary assets, we help our clients enforce their rights or mount vigorous defenses against unjust claims. Our attorneys handle all phases of business litigation, from pre-trial litigation negotiations to mediation, discovery and all the steps to trial. Serving Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange County and all of California, we implement trial-tested advocacy with practical guidance to resolve conflicts efficiently, be it through settlement or litigation.
Real Estate Litigation
From buyers or sellers wrongfully backing out of agreements, to conflicts with neighbors and even government overreach limiting property use, we have experience tackling nearly every type of real estate dispute. The moment you receive a notice of breach of contract, face a boundary dispute, or are served a government order impacting your property, call us to explore together the best path forward.
Business Dispute Arbitration and Mediation
While we prepare every case for trial, litigation isn’t always the optimal path. California courts increasingly require mediation, and business contracts now routinely mandate it to resolve disputes efficiently. Our litigators bring the same rigor to mediation as they do to courtroom battles, leveraging evidence and legal arguments to negotiate favorable settlements. This approach saves clients from the emotional toll, six-figure costs, and lost opportunities of prolonged trials.
FAQs
Not always. While written contracts strengthen claims, California enforces oral agreements in most cases, except real estate transfers. So, even without documents, there are options we can discuss to decide the best path forward.
To make the most of your first meeting, bring any relevant documents, such as contracts, notices, correspondence, or court filings. This will help us understand your situation and provide tailored advice.
Much depends on the unique people and matters involved. While some resolve with a single demand letter, complex trials may take 3, 4, or even 5 years. We’ll provide a timeline after reviewing your circumstances and gauging the other parties.
We can assess your situation during the initial consultation and provide an honest evaluation of your options, including whether pursuing legal action is in your best interest or not.
