Civil Litigation

Los Angeles Civil Attorneys

Our Civil Court system provides a forum for deciding disputes in Tort (negligence, accidents, fraud), Contract, Real Estate, Commercial matters and any other matter that involves private parties attempting to settle their dispute. Lawsuits can and do exhaust resources, whether financial or otherwise. Our attorneys provide realistic litigation solutions tailored to the requirements of the legal dispute. Very few cases actually get to trial because quite often resolution via settlement and agreement makes ultimate economic sense. But we believe all Civil disputes should be managed and prepared as if going to trial to avoid drawn out and wasteful litigation.

If you are faced with the need to prosecute a civil claim and file a lawsuit, the choices you make at the early stage of the litigation will shape the posture of the case, the lawsuit timeline and ultimately the trial.  It starts with identifying the proper causes of action.  Certain causes of action provide for certain remedies.  For example, violations under California’s Unfair Competition laws are often included as causes of action but only support restitutionary remedies; Fraud claims may entitle you to punitive damages but a claim for negligent misrepresentation usually will not.  The type of claims you pursue will shape the nature and scope of the remedies available to you.  It is important at the outset of litigation to identify those claims that are supportable and address the remedies you seek. Alleging frivolous claims or claims with little or no factual or legal support may subject those claims, or the entire lawsuit, to attacks on the pleadings such as demurrers, motions to dismiss, or motions to strike. We use the discovery process to aggressively seek and obtain the facts and evidence we will require at trial to prove your Case-in-Chief. Mr. Gholian has prosecuted civil tort claims, such as business fraud claims and consumer fraud claims on both an individual and class wide basis.  We prosecute civil claims at both hourly and contingency fee rates.

We provide civil defense services at hourly rates.  Our approach to civil defense starts with identifying the opportunities to strike or dismiss frivolous claims alleged in the complaint.  Often times, legally deficient claims can be knocked out at the early stages of litigation before discovery has begun.  We use the discovery process to flesh out the documents and evidence, or lack thereof, used by your opponent to prove their case against you or your business, and again identify the weaknesses and deficiencies for opportunities to dismiss the action in summary or defense the action at trial.  Mr. Jordan has successfully defended lawsuits for his clients through trial.

We litigate fraud and negligence claims, business torts, contract disputes, products liability claims and bad faith insurance claims. Our attorneys are admitted to practice in California’s federal and state court systems.
