Civil Litigation

"Civil Litigation" is a broad term that encompasses many different types of lawsuits. Examples of "civil" lawsuits include actions for: 

• Breach of Contract
• Fraud
• Defamation (Libel/Slander)
• Personal Injury/Property Damage

Over the years, our firm has handled hundreds of "civil litigation" cases, from the "run-of-the-mill" to the dizzyingly complex. Regardless if you're the one being sued or the one suing, our firm knows what it takes to put you in the best position possible to win your case. 

No two small businesses, or small business owners, are exactly alike: industry or field, size, revenue, management style, employees are just some of the ways in which clients can differ. Our office prides itself on its ability to meet the diverse needs of our business clients. Whether you are just starting out or are already a fixture in the community, or whether you just need some legal advice or aggressive, experienced representation in litigation, we can provide a wide array of legal services tailored towards your particular business.

As any employer is probably aware, California has some of the most "progressive" labor and employment laws/regulations in the country. Even more concerning for employers, they are constantly evolving either through further legislation/ regulation or through courts interpreting existing laws/regulations. From developing and maintaining legally-compliant employment practices to handling complex wage & hour, wrongful termination or discrimination cases, no matter the issue, employers can be confident that we have the knowledge and the resources to handle it.

It is no secret that California is home to some of the most expensive real estate in the world. For most people, real estate (be it a home, condo, or even an entire commercial building) represents the most valuable asset they will ever own. Because of its value, real estate is often at the center of many different types of legal disputes. Whether it is an impasse between co-owners on what to do with a property, a disagreement between neighbors regarding property lines or an easement, or a dispute between a buyer and a seller over a sale, our office can help you navigate the situation.

For better or worse, the world as we know it runs on contracts. Whether you are a small business about to enter into a relationship with a new vendor, an investor about to commit funding to a new venture, or just someone who wants some sound legal advice before "signing on the dotted line," our office is ready to assist you. From reviewing and commenting to revising and drafting, let us be your ally throughout the contract process.  

When we first opened our doors in 2012, our practice was focused almost exclusively on business, employment and real estate law. Time and again though, clients kept coming back to our office looking for  help with family law issues. So we expanded our practice to in order to meet our clients' needs regarding:

• Divorce/Separation
• Child Custody & Visitation
• Alimony & Child Support
• Pre & Post-Nuptial Agreements
• Restraining Orders
