Our Services
Complex Civil Litigation
We represent plaintiffs and defendants in financially significant civil disputes, including:
- Business and contract disputes
- Partnership, shareholder, and closely held company disputes
- Real estate and commercial lease litigation
- Construction claims and construction-defect litigation
- Fraud, fiduciary-duty, and financial elder-abuse claims
- Employment litigation and PAGA defense
- Professional-liability disputes
- Judgment enforcement and creditor remedies
Every matter begins with a disciplined assessment of liability, damages, evidence, collectability, and the likely cost of litigation.

- Business workouts and restructuring
- Representation of secured and unsecured creditors
- Relief-from-stay and adequate-protection proceedings
- Bankruptcy litigation and adversary proceedings
- Claims, plan treatment, and confirmation disputes
