We Can Help With Your Real Estate Needs
Commercial and Residential Landlord-Tenant Law — We represent owners and managers of real property in the area of commercial and residential landlord tenant law. We help landlords operate under local rent control laws, such as those in San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley.
Real Estate Contracts and Litigation — We review commercial and residential real estate contracts, purchase and sales agreements, leases, and other real estate documents. We also handle a wide range of lawsuits involving real property throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, primarily representing property owners and managers. We also advise in for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) matters.
Foreclosure Issues — We provide legal counsel to both lenders and buyers in the foreclosure process. We advise banks and lenders on the various post-foreclosure issues and inform them of their rights and responsibilities. We work with potential buyers of foreclosed property in all stages of a real estate transaction.
Other Property Ownership Issues — We assist clients in property purchase, ownership, use and sale. We have experience in disputes involving:

Co-ownership (including partition and tenancies-in-common)

If you are experiencing such problems, we can help you understand your rights and obligations and help design a strategy to effectively resolve the problem.
Civil Appeals — Attorney Curtis Dowling leads our appeals group, representing clients in real estate litigation and other appeals in state and federal courts. We also appeal administrative rulings such as Rent Board decisions with appropriate petitions for administrative mandamus, and similar relief.
Alternative Dispute Resolution - Many development and real estate contracts include clauses specifying that disputes will go through arbitration, mediation, or other alternative dispute resolution processes.
