Comprehensive Commercial Litigation Services

Contract Disputes & Breach of Agreement

Contracts are the backbone of every business relationship. When one party fails to perform, we help clients enforce, defend, or unwind agreements involving:

  • Service contracts
  • Vendor and supplier agreements
  • Partnership and shareholder disputes
  • Sales and purchase contracts
  • Non-disclosure and non-competition issues

We analyze the terms, identify leverage points, and pursue the most efficient path to resolution—whether that means settlement or litigation.

Loan & Promissory Note Disputes

We assist creditors and borrowers in disputes involving:

  • Unpaid loans
  • Defaulted promissory notes
  • Personal guaranties
  • High-interest or predatory lending issues
  • Enforcement of repayment terms

Our firm prepares demand letters, litigates breaches, negotiates structured settlements, and obtains enforceable judgments.

Judgment Enforcement & Collections

Winning a judgment is only the first step—collecting it requires strategy. We guide clients through the full judgment collection process, including:

  • Abstracts of judgment
  • Bank levies
  • Wage garnishments
  • Property liens
  • Turnover orders
  • Installment payment orders
  • Third-party examinations

Judgment Debtor Examinations (CCP §708.110)

We subpoena the debtor, conduct in-person examinations, and obtain financial documents to identify assets, income sources, and collectible property. Our goal is simple: make your judgment real.

Small Claims Appeals (De Novo Trials)

Small claims decisions are not always final. We represent individuals and businesses in:

  • Small claims appeals
  • De novo trials in Superior Court
  • Motions to vacate
  • Enforcement of small-claims judgments

We take over when the stakes increase, ensuring your rights are fully protected at the appellate stage.

Civil Torts & Business Torts

We represent plaintiffs and defendants in tort matters, including:

  • Defamation (libel and slander)
  • Trade libel
  • Fraud and misrepresentation
  • Negligence
  • Trespass and property interference
  • Interference with contract or economic advantage

Our firm is deeply experienced in complex tort litigation, evidence strategy, and motion practice.

Anti-SLAPP Motions & Defense

California’s Anti-SLAPP statute is a powerful tool to protect speech—and a dangerous one if misused. We handle both sides:

Anti-SLAPP Motions

We file targeted motions to:

  • Strike meritless claims attacking protected speech
  • Recover attorney’s fees
  • Halt abusive litigation early

Anti-SLAPP Defenses

If your business or personal claim is hit with an Anti-SLAPP motion, we defend by showing:

  • The claims arise from unprotected conduct
  • The plaintiff can meet the “probability of prevailing” standard
  • The motion is frivolous or tactical

Few areas of California civil litigation require as much precision as Anti-SLAPP practice. We deliver that precision.

Cease-and-Desist Letters & Pre-Litigation Strategy

Sometimes the fastest solution is avoiding litigation altogether. We prepare:

  • Cease-and-desist letters
  • Demand letters
  • Response letters
  • Negotiated settlements

We protect your rights while positioning you strongly for potential litigation if the other party refuses to comply.

Copyright Violations & Takedowns

Online infringement harms your business brand and revenue. We assist with:

  • DMCA takedown requests
  • Copyright claims and infringement disputes
  • Removal of unauthorized online content
  • Evidence preservation
  • Federal registration guidance

We act quickly to remove infringing content and safeguard your intellectual property.

Civil Litigation Defense

When you or your business is sued, fast action is critical. We defend clients in:

  • Contract claims
  • Tort actions
  • Fraud and misrepresentation
  • Defamation / trade libel
  • Property and business disputes
  • Creditors’ claims

We focus on early dismissal, strong motion practice, and strategic settlement where appropriate.
