Our Comprehensive Real Estate Law Practice Areas
Our real estate capabilities cover every potential need throughout a property’s lifespan – from the initial transaction and regulatory compliance through active use or development and beyond.
Just a few of our key practice areas include:
- Residential/Commercial Transactions—Our Chico real estate attorneys handle all aspects of buying, selling, leasing, or financing property deals, both big and small. We draft airtight contracts, perform due diligence, and ensure smooth closings while counseling you on all risks and liabilities involved.
- Land Use/Zoning—Whether you’re developing vacant land or want to rezone or repurpose existing property, our lawyers navigate Chico and California’s zoning codes, environmental regulations, and permitting to advise on the most strategic path for your plans.
- Real Estate Litigation—Despite best intentions, conflicts over real property are sometimes inevitable—boundary disputes, construction defects, adverse possession claims, you name it. We’re aggressive litigators who pursue your interests through mediation, arbitration, or zealous courtroom advocacy.
- Probate/Trusts—If you inherited real estate through a loved one’s living trust or Will, our team can administer and transfer those assets through the probate process as needed, handling ancillary legal matters along the way.
No matter your real estate needs, our team has the knowledge and experience to provide tailored solutions that protect your interests and achieve your desired outcomes.

Real Estate Litigation: Protecting Your Rights
Even with the most thorough preparation and precautions, conflicts over real estate and land sometimes require the courts to intervene and facilitate a resolution. While we always strive to resolve disputes through negotiation and alternative dispute resolution methods, sometimes litigation is unavoidable.
When this happens, you can rely on our team to advocate for your rights in the courtroom. Our attorneys handle a wide range of real estate disputes, including breach of contract claims, fraud and non-disclosure cases, title defects, boundary disputes, and more.
When disputes arise, our team provides:
