Southern California Business Law

Business litigation covers a wide range of subjects and can involve nearly any legal dispute between businesses or individuals. We have successfully represented clients in cases for breach of contract and promissory notes or guaranty agreements, unfair business practices, breach of real estate agreements, partnership disputes, failure to pay a bill, civil fraud and for  investor fraud claims against stock brokers. We are also familiar with the laws protecting victims of identity theft and unfair debt collection practices.

Breach of Contract Cases

Breach of contract claims usually involve a claim by a person or business that someone has not honored the terms of a written agreement. Sometimes, the first party to get sued will file suit against the other party claiming it breached the contract which can lead to complicated and expensive litigation.  The cost of this kind of lawsuit can skyrocket quickly. Since attorneys’ fees are not recoverable unless the contract has an attorney’s fees clause allowing you to recover legal fees, you can find yourself paying to defend or prosecute a case out of your own pocket.

Protect  yourself and contact our offices if you are contemplating suing or you have been sued over a business matter. We will guide you through the process and help you evaluate your best and most cost effective course of action.

Fraud Cases

Fraudulent activities by unscrupulous persons can devastate your business or your personal finances and can occur in a variety of business settings including between partners or outside of a company.

We are familiar with and can assist  if you have been the victim of:

Insurance Bad Faith

Businesses often carry insurance coverage they are not aware of that may cover the costs of defending a lawsuit against them. We are familiar with insurance  law and have located and enforced business coverage for  some of our clients who could not afford to pay the costs and fees of defending a lawsuit.

If an insurance company fails to cover a claim it insured for, it can also be sued for “bad faith” and forced to pay for your defense and to pay punitive damages.

Unfair Debt Collection Practices

California also has laws designed to protect consumers who are being harassed at home or at work by debt collection companies that will stop annoying phone calls. If the harassment does not stop, the consumer may then be entitled to damages and their attorney’s fees.

Identity Theft

Identity theft is an increasing problem in the U.S. There are laws designed to protect a consumer who has been a victim of this crime that may restore credit and end the thief’s fraudulent activity.

Investor Fraud Claims

We represent investors whose retirement money, or other investment monies, have been mishandled and otherwise placed in unsuitable investments. These investments are frequently not properly monitored or supervised. When that occurs, we will represent you for your claims against most major stock brokerage firms, life insurance and annuity companies and their agents in arbitrations before the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD). These cases are evaluated at no charge to you. If we accept the case, we pursue it to the end on a contingency fee basis so you do not have to pay any attorney’s fees out of your pocket.
