California Real Estate Fraud Litigation
Although property values have declined significantly over the recent short term, California real estate is still a valuable investment for both individual and business property owners. Unfortunately, the combination of economically distressed owners vulnerable to quick-fix schemes and high financial stakes have also made real estate an area of economic activity where fraud routinely occurs.
At Ringler Kearney Alvarez LLP, we represent plaintiffs who have been taken advantage of by predatory lenders, loan modification schemes, con artists promising foreclosure relief and a variety of other property-related scams. We also represent plaintiffs in real estate fraud claims against brokers, real estate agents, appraisers and other licensed real estate "professionals" who have engaged in various types of fraud or misconduct.
In every matter, RKA clients work with and are represented by a dedicated legal team led by trial attorneys who have experience and proven skill with the specific issues surrounding the case. In fact, no attorney at Ringler Kearney Alvarez has less than 16 years of experience in complex civil litigation. We are ready and willing to try cases whenever it is in the client's best interests to do so.
In the area of real estate fraud, RKA has been able to obtain incomparable results for its 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 as well as non-disclosure of the construction deficiencies.
We only represent plaintiffs and only do so on a contingency fee basis — meaning that compensation occurs only after money is recovered in the case, as regulated by law. To discuss your legal matter with a lawyer, call our Los Angeles offices at 213-473-1900 or contact us online.
