Real Estate Sales
Disputes arising from purchase and sale agreements — failures to perform, misrepresentation, and breach of contract claims.
02 / 03 · Practice Areas
Consumer Contract & Business Disputes.
Contracts are written to be honored. When they aren't, claims may rest on breach of contract — or on negligence — and are pursued in arbitration, Superior Court, or small claims.
Consumer Side
Contracts that touch the home.
Real estate purchase and sale agreements, leases (including ground leases), options to extend or purchase, home improvement contracts, and insurance policies — claims based on breach of contract or on negligence.
Leases & Ground Leases
Lease disputes, ground leases, options to extend, and options to purchase — both residential and commercial.
Home Improvement Contracts
Poor workmanship, abandoned jobs, and accountability for licensed and unlicensed contractors on residential improvement work.
Insurance Policies
Coverage disputes, denied claims, and disagreements over the scope of policy obligations.
Business Side
Contracts between businesses.
Sales of goods, partnerships, service contracts, and building contracts — pursued for breach or for negligence, with attorney fees recoverable by the prevailing party where the contract so provides.
Sales of Goods
Contract disputes over sales of goods — including non-payment, defective shipments, and failures of delivery.
Partnership Disputes
Disagreements between partners over performance, distributions, and the terms governing the partnership.
Service Contracts
Contract and negligence claims arising from professional and commercial service agreements.
Building Contracts
Disputes between owners, contractors, and subcontractors on commercial building projects — performance, scope, and payment.
Where Disputes Are Heard
Forum follows the contract.
A contractual arbitration clause governs and is honored. Absent one — and where the bankruptcy courts are not involved — the matter proceeds in California Superior Court, or in small claims for amounts of $10,000 or less.
01
Private Arbitration
Where the contract requires private arbitration in lieu of suit, we comply with that requirement and present the matter to the arbitrator.
02
Superior Court
Where bankruptcy is not involved and no arbitration clause governs, litigation is brought in California Superior Court.
03
Small Claims
For matters of $10,000 or less without an arbitration clause, jurisdiction lies in small claims court — a faster, lower-cost path.
