We find the cause.
A defect or a damaged property always has a source, and usually someone responsible for it. We investigate construction defects and property damage across California, bring in the right experts, and build the case for recovery.
We come to your property, bring in the right experts, and work with you to get the justice you deserve.
We do not work these cases at a distance. We come to the property and see the damage for ourselves. We retain the right experts, the engineers and specialists who can show a jury exactly what failed, why, and who is responsible. And we work alongside you, from the first inspection through the verdict. Recovery is the point, and we build every case around it.
From the first site visit to the recovery at the end, we are on it with you.
Construction defect and property damage matters we handle
Defects rarely announce themselves at completion, and damage to a property often comes from somewhere or someone next door. We represent owners, associations, builders, and investors in finding the cause, tracing responsibility, and pursuing the recovery our clients are owed, whether the matter resolves in negotiation or in front of a jury.
Matters we take
- Water intrusion and waterproofing failures
- Structural, foundation, and soils movement defects
- Right to Repair Act (SB 800) claims and pre-litigation procedures
- Design, engineering, and workmanship disputes
- Claims against developers, contractors, subcontractors, and design professionals
- Property damage caused by a neighboring owner or adjacent construction
- Encroachment, grading, drainage, and nuisance disputes
- Fire, water, and other casualty damage to real property
- Insurance tender, coverage, and recovery issues
- Defect and damage investigation with consulting experts, through trial
What sets us apart
We come to your property
We do not litigate from photographs alone. We visit the property, see the damage in person, and understand the site before we shape the case.
We bring in the right experts
Engineers, contractors, and other specialists who can explain to a jury exactly what failed and who is responsible. The right expert often decides the case.
We build for recovery
From the first inspection to the verdict, we work alongside you and structure the case to put you back in the position you should be in.
A recent result
A recent matter that shows how we work these cases, from the property to the jury.
Cal-York Real Estate Holdings, LLC v. B.D.O.G. Inc., et al.
After a jury trial, the firm secured a verdict in excess of $1 million for our client on a claim for property damage caused by a neighboring property.
We investigated the damage, worked with experts to establish its cause and the responsible party, and tried the case to a jury.
Results depend on the specific facts and law of each matter, and a jury verdict may be subject to post-trial motions, appeal, or collection. Prior results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any other case.
