OUR APPROACH
After years of doing law the "corporate" way, we knew there was a better way to serve our clients: stay small.
For our clients, that means that when you hire us, you get us. We (usually) answer our own phones. We do our own research. We write our own briefs -- no passing them off to a junior attorney. You can call us for a quick chat without having to worry about being billed through the nose. And you can feel assured that in the unlikely event we can't help you with a problem, we'll refer you to someone who can.

PRACTICE AREAS
Our expertise covers the full spectrum of real estate law
HOMEOWNERS’ ASSOCIATIONS
We represent and advise HOAs and their members on all matters involving their successful operation and governance, including the HOA’s governing documents, architectural review issues, operating rules, dispute resolution, contractual issues with service providers, elections, and corporate issues.
REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT
We help our clients create and manage all types of real estate developments; commercial, residential, or mixed-use in standard and common interest subdivisons.
REAL ESTATE MEDIATION
We'll be the first to tell you: litigation ain't fun. Mediation is a great first step to resolving real estate disputes. It's faster, generally less contentious, and certainly less expensive. We're proud to be able to provide mediation services to help resolve just about any real estate dispute.
CIVIL LITIGATION
We are effective, efficient, and diligent advocates for our clients in all manners of disputes, whether negotiated settlement, arbitration, mediation, or litigation.
LANDLORD-TENANT
From the drafting, negotiation and review of leases through unlawful detainer actions and evictions, we assist our clients in all aspects of landlord-tenant matters, both commercial and residential.
FORECLOSURE
Foreclosure happens. But it doesn't always have to. We'll work with you to understand your options and rights, and help you fight to stay in your home should you choose to do so.
REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS
At any stage of a real property acquisition or disposition, whether property/party identification, due diligence, contract negotiation, agreement drafting, or closing, we help our clients successfully and efficiently achieve their objectives.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Our thorough, detail-oriented, analytical approach helps our clients to identify and avoid potential disputes and complications.
