I regularly attend courses sponsored by various organizations, including real estate litigation continuing education by the Los Angeles and Beverly Hills Bar Associations. I am a member and attend events sponsored by the Association of Business Trial Lawyers (ABTL) and attend functions of the International Council of Shopping Centers. I have also given continuing education presentations to in house attorneys at title companies and to property managers.

Each case is significant to the parties involved, no matter how much money is at stake, but the most noteworthy cases have been: a jury trial verdict of $3.6 million for our plaintiff client in Polarized Lighting v. Pierlight Pty. Ltd., for breach of contract; a defense jury verdict for our real estate developer client in Amreal Capital Realty v. Victor Lands, who had been sued for millions of dollars in damages for alleged fraud; a multi-million dollar settlement for our client in a wrongful foreclosure suit, Kline et. al v. Redevelopment Agency of the City of Pomona; and a multi-million dollar settlement for our client in an easement dispute in Sunset Palisades v. Self-Realization Fellowship Church. More typical cases in real property disputes involve the purchase and sale of real property, boundary line disputes or easement issues.

Our firm was created in 1995 to provide clients with outstanding and personalized service and excellent results without the high costs, overstaffing or overhead associated with larger firms. This means clients get specialized expertise to help them attain their goals cost-effectively and creatively.

Before establishing my own firm, I was a partner at the Santa Monica real estate firm of Gilchrist & Rutter and began my career at the Beverly Hills real estate firm of Fulop, Rolston, Burns & McKittrick.

I periodically act as a Judge Pro Tem for the Los Angeles Superior Court and as an arbitrator with the Attorney Client Fee Dispute program of the Los Angeles County Bar Association.
