​About Us

Our firm provides high-quality, cost-effective, legal representation responsive to the needs of the people we represent in employment, business, and real estate litigation. We care about the people we represent – regardless of how big or small their case is – because it’s important. We respect that the people we represent have entrusted us with their lives and livelihoods, and we do not take this responsibility lightly. We work to resolve matters before litigation by taking a proactive approach. However, if litigation becomes necessary, it is handled in an efficient and economic manner. 

Representing the Central Coast’s best landlords is a cornerstone of our real estate litigation practice as we are commercial and residential property owners ourselves. With extensive experience navigating California's complex landlord-tenant laws, we provide effective, reliable, and results-driven legal services to help protect your property rights. Whether you need assistance drafting a notice, resolving disputes, or pursuing court action to regain possession of your property, our team is here to guide you through every step of the process. We are committed to offering personalized attention and efficient solutions to safeguard your investment.

In employment cases, our firm specializes in what is sometimes called “underdog” or “David v Goliath” litigation where we represent one individual or a small group that are taking on their employer or a company in an effort to change and/or stop unlawful conduct for the good of themselves and others.  Many of our firm’s cases are referrals from other attorneys who recognize that our firm has the technical and financial resources, reputation, and ability to handle and take difficult, expensive and complex cases to trial.  With our working relationships with other excellent attorneys, no legal matter is too big as we have the ability to scale up depending on a matter's size.We are frequently involved in litigation that involves multiple defendants and multiple law firms with seemingly unlimited resources.  We handle cases from intake to trial and through appeal.
