Step 1: Initial Contact
Once you submit a form or call us, a member of our intake team will follow up within 24 to 48 hours to better understand your situation and gather any initial documentation.
Our Locations
We serve clients across Southern California from two strategically placed offices, each staffed by attorneys who understand the region’s legal, regulatory, and real estate landscape. From zoning boards to high-stakes disputes, we bring the local insight and relationships it takes to get results.
Bankers Hill
Just blocks from the courthouse, our Bankers Hill office supports individuals and businesses facing real estate disputes, commercial litigation, and transactional matters. Being local means knowing which courts move faster, how courts operate, and when urgency makes the difference.

Getting Started:
How We Move Your Case Forward
Legal matters can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve made our intake process clear and efficient.
Step 2: Internal Review
Our attorneys carefully review your matter to determine if we’re the right fit. If so, we’ll outline the scope of work and provide a retainer quote.
Step 3: Engagement & Welcome
If you decide to move forward, we’ll send over a simple engagement agreement. Once signed and the retainer is received, you’ll get a welcome email introducing your legal team.
Step 4: Attorney Kickoff
A paralegal will help schedule your first call with your attorney—typically within a few days, or sooner if the matter is urgent—so we can get started.
