Business Litigation
Business Litigation is the practice of law specializing in counseling and assisting business clients who are in disputes with other businesses, government entities, individuals, or groups of individuals. The complex nature of these disputes require an understanding of both the business issue and the industry of the client. Our primary goal is to advance our clients’ interests and we are committed to developing solutions to help our clients solve their toughest problems.
Fraud
Fraud is a broad term that refers to a variety of offenses involving dishonesty or “fraudulent acts.” Fraud occurs when there is an intentional deception or negligent misrepresentation made by a person or entity to another for monetary or personal gain.
The law treats fraud very seriously and an attorney can help you understand how the fraud has affected your legal rights and obligations. Laws against fraud vary from state to state, and can be criminal or civil in nature. If you are experiencing a fraudulent situation, an attorney who knows about the nuances of the laws concerning fraud will be able to help you.
Medical Malpractice
Medical Malpractice involves people who have been ill, injured or needed assistance from doctors, nurses, therapists, hospitals, and the medical community. For people who suffer preventable medical errors made by hospitals, doctors and other medical professionals, an attorney provides the assistance that is essential to understand the medical intricacies, to maximize medical-care damages, to retain and prepare medical experts, and finally to respond in trial to medical experts.
We are dedicated to helping people whose lives have been forever altered through no fault of their own because of medical malpractice.
Personal Injury
A personal injury attorney represents an injured party who believes that their physical or emotional injury was caused because another party (e.g., your employer, your doctor, your landlord, etc.) didn’t take the necessary steps to prevent the accident. Types of accidents that a personal injury attorney can assist an injured party include automobile, slip and falls in a public or private place, and medical malpractice.
When you or a family member or friend have suffered an injury, the skills of an experienced personal injury lawyer — or at least the threat to an insurance company that such a lawyer may present — are worth the time you spend to consult a lawyer to represent you. You may need a lawyer because of complex legal rules involved in your particular claim, or because the severity of your injuries might cause your compensation to vary greatly from the norm — or simply because an insurance company refuses to settle a matter in good faith.
Real Estate Litigation
Real Estate Litigation is a branch of civil law that covers the right to possess, use, and enjoy land and the permanent man-made additions attached to it. As real estate litigation and fraud attorneys, we represent buyers, sellers, and owners in a variety of real estate disputes and lawsuits including: Landlord/Tenant Law, Unlawful Detainers, hard money lending disputes and Construction defect cases.
Real Estate litigation requires an in-depth understanding of landlord/tenant laws in the state of California. We can help prevent some of the most common disputes and are fully prepared to take any complex or unforeseeable actions to trial. If you need to evict a tenant or are served with an unlawful detainer complaint, you should get legal advice or assistance immediately.
Employment Law
Employment Law also referred to as Labor Law governs the rights and duties between employers and workers. Employment laws are designed to keep workers safe and make sure they are treated fairly and are based on federal and state constitutions, legislation, administrative rules, and court opinions. Contract may also govern a particular employment relationship. Many employment disputes that result in litigation and require our assistance are those that deal with wage and hour violations and wrongful termination.
Discrimination in the workplace is another basis for many employment law cases. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and subsequent legislation makes it illegal to treat workers differently based on ethnicity, religious beliefs, gender, age, or disability. Hiring an attorney to pursue a discrimination claim is recommended, as detailed procedures must be followed, such as obtaining a Right-To-Sue letter from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Four major areas where the assistance of an attorney may be required are: Employment Law, Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, and Disability.
