Resolving a real estate dispute in San Diego is much more complex than simply filing a lawsuit and waiting for months (or years) to get into Court. By its nature, real estate in San Diego is intrinsically valuable and associated real estate disputes can easily reach the mid-six figures to seven figures in damages and contingent liability. The experienced real estate attorneys at the Watkins Firm have served San Diego for more than four decades, and we will manage your case through every legal phase necessary to achieve your objectives.
Commercial leases represent fertile ground for real estate related disputes and litigation. Most business owners don’t realize California law on a commercial lease is much less robust than a residential transaction. In essence, the “Lease is the Law” and this is why it is so important to have any commercial lease negotiated and reviewed by the experienced San Diego real estate attorneys at the Watkins Firm. It is even more important to seek our sound advice and counsel when a dispute arises on a commercial lease.
Resolving real estate disputes begins with effective and leveraged negotiations. This is the fastest, and least expensive alternative to litigation. Negotiation is the way we resolve the vast majority of our cases and is our most common method for resolving a real estate dispute in San Diego and Southern California. Mediation is another valuable tool in the process. Mediation is a format that creates a neutral and productive environment where the parties can clarify genuine issues in dispute, and work on finding common ground to resolve them.
Real estate disputes are quite complex, and legally there are additional remedies that are not available in other forms of litigation. One option is known as “rescission”, which legally and financially returns the buyer to the point they were immediately preceding the transaction (as if it never took place).
