Every case is unique. Simple cases may resolve in a few months, while complex litigation can take longer.

Case value depends on many factors including severity of injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Most cases settle out of court. However, we are always prepared to take your case to trial if needed.

Costs depend on scope—whether you need limited tasks like a demand letter or full litigation. We offer clear fee estimates after the initial consultation and may use hourly billing, task-based fees, or blended arrangements. For many disputes, we discuss budget-conscious strategies like targeted ADR to control expenses. We prioritize transparency about likely costs and milestones and provide regular updates so you can make informed decisions about settlement versus continued litigation. Call (818) 532-5323 to discuss fee arrangements and obtain a more specific estimate based on your case.

HOAs enforce CC&Rs (covenants, conditions, and restrictions) and can impose fines, require removal of nonconforming improvements, or seek court orders to enforce rules. However, their authority is limited by governing documents and California law. Improper procedures or discriminatory enforcement may provide defenses or grounds to challenge HOA actions. A lawyer can review your HOA's governing documents, assess whether the board followed required notice and hearing procedures, and, when appropriate, negotiate a resolution or litigate to protect your rights. Early review often prevents escalating fines and liens.

A quiet title action is a lawsuit to establish clear ownership of property and remove clouds or competing claims on title—such as unresolved liens, mistaken grants, or competing deeds. It's necessary when title records are unclear and a party needs judicial confirmation of ownership to sell, refinance, or develop the parcel. Quiet title suits require careful title research and clear evidence. Our firm prepares the necessary pleadings, supports claims with documentation and expert testimony if needed, and pursues resolution to restore marketable title.

A licensed land survey is often central to resolving boundary disputes. Surveys provide objective measurements, historical research, and professional opinions about property corners and lines. Courts give weight to qualified surveyor reports, and surveys frequently form the basis for negotiated settlements or stipulations among neighbors. We coordinate with experienced surveyors, interpret survey results in light of legal doctrines (like deed descriptions and recorded plats), and use surveys strategically in settlement talks, mediation, or litigation to achieve a lasting resolution.

Bring all relevant documents: deeds, purchase agreements, escrow papers, title reports, surveys, correspondence with the other party or HOA, photographs, inspection reports, and any notices or recorded documents (like lis pendens). These materials allow us to assess your claim efficiently and advise on immediate steps. If you have deadlines, such as pending closings or court dates, bring those details so we can prioritize actions. After the initial review, we'll outline practical next steps, evidence to collect, and an estimated timeline and cost for resolution.
