Real Estate & Business Litigation

California Real Estate, Construction, Business Litigation, Defense of Law Suits, Foreclosure, Collections

  • Boundary, easement or covenant disagreements: We protect the rights of either side in disputes regarding property lines as well as access to, or use of, commercial and residential property.
  • Real estate foreclosure actions: We handle cases involving the often shoddy and illegal efforts by a lender to foreclose on our clients' mortgage. We protect the rights of property owners by using a variety of remedies, including loan modification, debt restructuring, and injunctions/lawsuits against illegal lending practices and Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) violations.
  • Fraud and tortious interference claims: We pursue all lender, escrow or broker fraud claims, actions alleging interference with a contract or business relationship as well as deceptive business practices or misrepresentation.
