Every residential lease contains an implied warranty of habitability: that is, a requirement that the landlord maintain a minimum level of repair and pest control at the property. Habitability lawsuits are on the rise in Southern California, brought on by a growing awareness of tenants’ rights and duties. We have extensive experience prosecuting small and large-scale habitability lawsuits. If your home is infested with roaches, bedbugs, or rodents, or lacks functional heating, plumbing, or utility service, we can help you vindicate your rights in court. We have also brought lawsuits on behalf of tenants whose rental units were contaminated with asbestos, mold, or lead paint.

Many times, the ownership, control, or occupancy of real property leads to wrongful acts. We litigate fraud actions, such as fraudulent concealment, fraudulent misrepresentations, and fraudulently recorded deeds of trust or liens, as well as cases of actual fraud, conversion, or embezzlement of client or member funds. We also have extensive experience in lawsuits claiming breach of fiduciary duty, malicious conduct, and intentional damage to land or buildings.

Our business law practice represents a wide range of clients embroiled in business disputes, including lawsuits with a business partner, a supplier or manufacturer, another corporation, and with current or former employees. We litigate cases alleging intentional interference with economic advantage, damage to goods or products, wrongful misappropriation of trade secrets, illegal boycott, employment disputes, and other disputes which arise between corporate parties and business owners and employees.
