We have filed suit for breach of
contract, fraud and specific performance on behalf of a developer over
the purchase of 5 acres of land after the seller misrepresented the
zoning of the land. Laine
Wagenseller will be a presenter at an all-day seminar entitled Real
Estate Development from Beginning to End. Watch future announcements for
more information. WLF recently settled a residential adverse
possession case in mediation on favorable terms. The settlement came on
the heels of our filing of a motion for summary judgment seeking a
judgment of ownership as a matter of law.

In the News...

The
United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Kelo v. City of
New London, in which homeowners are challenging the City's use of
eminent domain powers to take their homes to give the land to commercial
developers. The court will consider whether it should second guess the
elected bodies decision and whether taking from one private owner to give
to another private owner can be considered a 'public use.' A decision is
expected in June.

WLF was
retained by a large construction company to pursue an unlawful detainer
against a warehouse subtenant who had failed to pay rent and had gone
into receivership. We negotatiated a full rent payment with the receiver
and a set move out date, getting our client paid quickly with a minimum
of costs. We are in the process of filing lawsuits against several
industrial tenants of various landlords to collect past due rent.We
are representing an entity involved in a corporate
dissolution/partnership dispute. A restaurant client has hired WLF to
negotiate its lease with a downtown landlord. We have also been retained
to help with the assignment of a restaurant business in Alhambra.
Several real estate buyers have called on us to review purchase and sale
agreements and to investigate judgments affecting title and the purchase.
