Real Estate Litigation

Southern California Real Estate Litigation

Real Estate and Lease Disputes ● Fraud ● Broker Misconduct ● Breach of Contract

Often, the key to resolving a real estate dispute is early intervention by a knowledgeable real estate attorney. Early in a dispute, there may be a number of actions that can address or mitigate the problem. Through negotiation or mediation, a cost-effective solution can often be brokered.

Practical Advice, Skillful Mediation, Aggressive Representation

Real estate litigation is expensive. It can consume all the financial benefits you are seeking. That's why an experienced real estate lawyer will take a step back to review every potential solution before advising a client to move forward with a court case. A careful cost-benefit analysis serves the client's best interests.

In many cases, mediation will resolve a business or real estate dispute more cost-effectively. Mr. Martin is a certified mediator, as well as an experienced real estate litigator. He has handled mediations in superior court for many years.
