Business Disputes We Handle

  • Breach of contract: disputes over agreements with customers, vendors, contractors and partners.
  • Partnership and shareholder disputes: conflicts among owners, LLC members and business partners.
  • Business torts: fraud, interference with business relationships and unfair business practices.
  • Collections: recovering unpaid invoices and other amounts owed to your business.

Our Approach

Litigation is expensive, so we start by understanding your goals and the strength of your position. Many disputes can be resolved through a demand letter, negotiation or mediation. When a case needs to go to court, we prepare it thoroughly and keep you informed at every step.

Prevention Is the Best Defense

Many business disputes start with an unclear contract or operating agreement. Our business law services help you put the right agreements in place before problems arise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I try to settle before filing a lawsuit?

How are business litigation matters billed?

Litigation is generally billed hourly. We will discuss the expected scope and costs with you at the start of the matter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a will avoid probate in California?

No. A will tells the court who should receive your property, but assets passing under a will generally still go through probate unless the estate qualifies for a small estate procedure.

How long does probate take in California?

Commonly a year or more, and longer if there are disputes, real estate sales or tax issues.

Is a living trust expensive?

Our trust-based plans are $3,500 for an individual and $4,500 for a couple, typically a fraction of the statutory probate fees on a California home.

Can I avoid probate if I already have a trust?

Yes, if the trust is properly funded. We can review an existing trust and help transfer any assets that were left out.
