We represent property owners, landlords, tenants, and investors across Modesto and Stanislaus County.

We give you a clear read on your options before you are locked into a bad deal.

We work directly with escrow, title companies, and opposing counsel so you are not managing the deal alone, and we tell you plainly when it is time to walk away.
Talk to a partnerFrom acquiring property to structuring an entity to hold it, we handle the legal side so the business deal does not get derailed by paperwork. We review contracts, financing terms, and zoning issues before they become problems.
Buying or selling property means reviewing contracts, disclosures, and title before you sign anything. We handle purchase agreements, 1031 exchanges, and closings so the deal closes clean.
Unpaid rent, lease violations, evictions, and habitability complaints all require the right process, or the case gets thrown out. We represent both landlords and tenants in Stanislaus County.
Owning property with a partner, family member, or investor works fine until someone wants out or stops paying their share. We draft co-ownership and partition agreements that spell out exactly what happens next.

A fence in the wrong place or a cloud on title can stall a sale or start a fight between neighbors. We handle boundary disputes, easement conflicts, and quiet title actions to clear ownership for good.
A commercial lease is a long-term commitment, and the terms you agree to now affect the business for years. We draft and negotiate leases for landlords and tenants, and step in when a dispute turns into a legal fight.
You are not legally required to have one, but commercial purchase agreements, financing terms, and title issues are complicated enough that going without a lawyer usually costs more in the end. Having counsel review the deal before you sign protects you from problems you will not see coming.
It depends on the issue. Unpaid rent, lease violations, and habitability complaints each follow a different legal process, and California has strict rules both sides have to follow. We evaluate your situation and tell you the fastest, least costly way to resolve it.
Boundary disputes usually start with a survey to establish where the actual property line is, followed by negotiation with the neighbor or, if that fails, a court action. Most get resolved without a trial, but the legal groundwork has to be done right from the start.
It is a lawsuit that asks a court to settle who actually owns a piece of property when there is a competing claim, an old lien, or a defect in the chain of title. It clears the title so the property can be sold or refinanced.
It depends on whether you need a document reviewed, a lease negotiated, or a dispute litigated. We give you a clear estimate before we start.
