Real Estate Lawyers serving Southern California

Allan Law Group pairs a highly successful transactional practice with a highly successful and aggressive litigation practice.

We will represent your interests in any dispute. Whether you are a buyer or seller of residential or commercial property, we are able to assist you in all phases of the real estate transaction, including arbitration or litigation. Some of the most common areas of litigation disputes are breach of contract, failure to disclose, breach of fiduciary duty of real estate agents and brokers, premises liability, foreclosures, and lending.

Our experience enables us to ensure that the most cost-effective and appropriate dispute resolution mechanism is employed to achieve a successful outcome.

It is wise to have a lawyer involved from the beginning of the negotiation process, starting with the purchase and sale agreement. Various documents, including title reports, escrow instructions, disclosure statements and loan documents are just some of the items that need to be reviewed carefully.

By working with clients from the beginning we are able to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the transaction, we help minimize uncertainty and aim at avoiding potential litigation. We assist clients in developing strategies to avoid disputes that can arise even in the most carefully managed transactions.

We can work with other professionals such as architects, general contractors and certified public accountants to ensure that your real estate investment is protected as much as possible.
