Wagenseller Law Firm

Los Angeles Real Estate Attorneys

The attorneys at Wagenseller Law Firm have worked on numerous real estate litigation matters in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California. Each attorney in the firm is experienced in real estate law and trial work. Some of our victories in court include:

• Aggressively represented a mixed residential and retail building owner in real estate litigation. While the other defendants paid to settle, our client paid nothing.
• Secured a stipulated judgment and full repayment from a St. Louis freight shipping company on behalf of our client, the owner of a $4 million industrial warehouse. Based on our breach of contract lawsuit, we recovered over $80,000 in back rent and all of our attorneys’ fees.
• Forced an unhappy corporate investor in our real estate developer client’s townhome development to dismiss its case against the developer and its principals. Our client paid nothing.
• Secured a Writ of Attachment against a Lease Guarantor’s Beverly Hills mansion worth $3.5 million, freezing the asset and prompting a quick settlement for the entire amount we demanded. Our client recovered all of the back rent owing plus its attorneys’ fees.
• Successfully extricated real estate developer in alleged $1.8 million breach of partnership lawsuit.
• Won in both the trial court and the appellate court on a motion to expunge a lis pendens from our client’s 57-unit townhome development near downtown Los Angeles.
• Successfully represented restaurant chain, securing dismissal of unlawful detainer lawsuit and compromised outstanding debts worth roughly $300,000 with landlord of large retail lifestyle center.
• Won summary judgment for specific performance (i.e., ordering the sale of the warehouse to our client) on behalf of our manufacturing client against its landlord based on a breach of lease lawsuit in which the landlord refused to sell the building under a contractual option to buy. The court ordered the landlord to sell the building to our client on the terms set forth in the lease’s option to purchase.
• Represented homeowners in a claim for contractor fees. While the contractor did provide work, the work and services provided were shoddy and a number of the requested changes were neglected or incomplete. Although the contractor sued our client and recorded a mechanics lien against the property, we counterclaimed, secured a payment from the contractor and also successfully collected on the contractor’s bond.

In addition we help landlords on a daily basis pursue tenants who have breached their lease and/or damaged the landlord’s property. Our real estate attorneys have successfully handled a variety of real estate litigation lawsuits, including breach of contract, breach of lease, specific performance, ownership disputes, partnership disputes, partition, quiet title, neighbor disputes (including boundary disputes), commercial landlord/tenant matters, adverse possession, easement and right of way lawsuits, real estate fraud litigation and other real estate cases.
