Southern California Construction Defects Litigation
Tort reformers loudly decry the effects that construction defects litigation has had on California's housing industry and economy. They claim that plaintiff's lawyers are killing the construction industry, that the defects plaintiffs complain of are often nothing more than superficial "blemishes," and that the general sense of entitlement to "perfection" which seems to abound is nothing more than a childish demand unworthy of validation by the courts.
To be fair, a certain percentage of construction defect lawsuits are (to use a word that tort reformists are especially fond of) "frivolous."
To be honest, many others are anything but.
Ringler Kearney Alvarez LLP is a Los Angeles-based law firm with extensive experience in real estate fraud and construction defect litigation. RKA has successfully handled multi-million dollar cases in this area. They have unique litigation skills and insights developed from years litigating these matters. This experience allows the firm's attorneys to prosecute claims of real estate fraud and construction defects with great expertise.
Our practice is statewide and includes actions brought on the basis of breach of contract, breach of warranty and various other theories of legal liability. We also represent clients who have suffered catastrophic personal injuries because of housing or construction defects. We are true trial attorneys in the sense that we try these cases whenever it is in our clients' best interest to go to court. To that end, each client is represented by a highly skilled legal team led by proven litigators, each of whom has a minimum of 16 years of experience.
In construction defect claims, RKA has been able to obtain optimal results for our clients by identifying potential issues of fraud and thereby considerably raising the stakes. Such litigation strategies were used in recovering $5.5 million on behalf of 19 individual homeowners in a construction defect lawsuit against a builder who was sued under theories of fraud and for non-disclosure of the construction deficiencies.
We exclusively represent plaintiffs in construction defects litigation and only take cases on a contingency fee basis. Our clients pay no attorneys' fees unless we achieve success on their behalf.
