Effective Los Angeles Real Estate Dispute Solutions

In our real estate law practice, we represent clients in a wide variety of commercial and residential real estate concerns. Some of our clients have included property owners, real estate investors, contractors, brokers and agents across the Los Angeles County area. Our primary services include:

  • Real estate contract disputes: When a buyer or seller fails to perform the terms of a purchase agreement, our attorneys can help by litigating for specific performance or seeking financial damages.
  • Boundary and easement issues: When someone contests property lines or interferes with another’s right to use land, we can determine the boundaries and pursue a court order.
  • Title and ownership disputes: If there is uncertainty regarding who owns a property, we can initiate a quiet title action to establish ownership.
  • Real estate broker and agent disputes: If a licensed professional breaches their fiduciary duty or commits negligence, our litigators can file a lawsuit or administrative claim to recover financial losses.

Advocating For Property Owners In Eminent Domain And Condemnations

Has the government taken private property or significantly diminished its value through regulatory action? Our eminent domain lawyers can challenge the taking’s legality and negotiate or litigate to maximize the owner’s compensation. We represent residential and commercial property owners facing eminent domain proceedings against their property. We also advise commercial tenants who are being displaced as a result of eminent domain. Landowners who are affected by inverse condemnation can also contact us for advice regarding their legal rights.

In an eminent domain lawsuit, we will represent you in court. Our goal is to help you fight to recover just and fair compensation for the taking of your property. We can also assist with the recovery of relocation expenses and loss of business goodwill for displaced business and commercial tenants.

Several large transportation projects in LA and across California will soon displace large numbers of homeowners and businesses. Learn more about these transportation projects that have triggered the eminent domain process.
