San Francisco Bay Area Real Estate Litigation Lawyers

If you have ever found yourself in a dispute involving real estate, landlord-tenant or lease issues, you know how complicated such matters can be. Without an experienced real estate attorney on your side, you may find it very difficult to adequately protect your rights. The San Francisco, California, real estate attorneys at Beckman Marquez & Dowling, LLP, are here to meet the real estate legal needs of real property owners, managers and tenants.

We can help meet your real estate needs, including:

Commercial and residential landlord-tenant law: We have extensive experience representing owners and managers of real property in the area of commercial and residential landlord tenant law. We have focused a significant portion of our practice helping landlords operate under local rent control laws, such as those in San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley.

Real Estate Contracts and Litigation: We work with clients to review commercial and residential real estate contracts, purchase and sales agreements, leases, and all other documents related to real estate matters. At the same time, we handle a wide range of lawsuits involving real property throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, primarily representing property owners and managers.

Other Property Ownership Issues; We assist clients with various issues related to property purchase, ownership, use and sale. We have experience in disputes involving co-ownership (for example, partition and tenancies-in-common), property boundaries, 'clouded' title, seller non-disclosure and real estate agent liability, and various other issues that arise in the course of property ownership and use. If you are experiencing such problems, we can help you understand your rights and obligations and help design a strategy to effectively resolve the problem

Civil Appeals: Attorney Curtis Dowling leads our appeals group, representing clients in real estate litigation and other appeals in state and federal courts. The group also appeals administrative rulings such as Rent Board decisions with appropriate petitions for administrative mandamus, and similar relief.

Alternative Dispute Resolution: Many development and real estate contracts include clauses specifying that disputes will go through arbitration, mediation, or other alternative dispute resolution processes. In addition to our experience in a wide range of real estate litigation matters, senior partner Rich Beckman is a trained mediation professional.
