  • Slander of title
  • Title or escrow dispute
  • Broker liability
  • Commission disputes

  • Construction contract, warranty or defect litigation
  • Mechanic's lien and stop notice claims
  • Insurance coverage disputes

The breadth and depth of our legal understanding, together with our extensive experience with state and federal trials, commercial arbitration and mediation, means that our real estate litigation clients can depend on first-rate counsel and advocacy through every stage of a dispute, no matter how complex.

Several of our lawyers are recognized authorities on specific aspects of California real estate law as demonstrated through their articles, lectures and other published works.
