My Real Estate Practice
I work closely with builders, contractors, grading companies, and others, handling complex documents related to real estate projects, including:
- Financing instruments from banks or other lenders
- Insurance policies or other related documents
- Mechanics' liens
- Foreclosure documents
California has unique rules governing the relationship between insurance policies and lawsuits. I can work directly with your insurer on your legal issues.
I have extensive experience handling easement issues for clients, including situations where a neighbor has erected a structure that overlaps adjoining property. I also handle claims of adverse possession, as well as prescriptive easements. In all matters, I will carefully examine the facts and circumstances to see if an agreement can be worked out. If not, I will aggressively advocate to protect your interests in litigation.
I also work with property owners who either seek land use variances or want to prevent a non-conforming use of property. I represent clients in city council and planning commission meetings, working with architects, planners and others to resolve disputes involving zoning and planning ordinances.
In all real estate matters, I try to identify where you need help and focus my efforts, so you get efficient and cost-effective representation. My goal is to help you take proactive steps to avoid legal issues.
