PRACTICE AREAS
CIVIL LITIGATION
Often we can resolve disputes before litigation begins. However, when negotiations fail, an experienced trial attorney is required to protect your interests and/or recover damages. Robert Rochelle is an ABOTA trial attorney who has been lead counsel in trials in San Diego Superior Courts and Federal District court. Practice areas include probate and trust matters, elder abuse, fraud, medical malpractice, personal injury and sexual harassment.
MEDIATION
As mediators, we do not represent either party but we help both parties to listen and evaluate issues and explore various options for resolution of the dispute. The goal is to come to a fair agreement and save the time, costs and emotional stress that result from litigation.
ESTATE PLANNING & PROBATE
Living Trusts, Wills, Durable Powers of Attorney and Advanced Health Care Directives are critical elements of an estate plan. While most adults should have some form of an estate plan in place, for one reason or another this important family and asset management planning tool is often overlooked. With over 20 years of experience, Russell Griffith can help you get your estate planning in order.
Mr. Griffith and Mr. Rochelle also provide probate and trust litigation services to resolve estate matters when there was a failure to plan or when disputes arise.
BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
Whether buying or selling a business, forming a corporation or limited liability company or putting the terms of a contract into a written document, the services of an experienced attorney are essential. We pride ourselves on working with your team of advisors and being deal makers, not deal breakers.
REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS
Buying commercial property, lease reviews, negotiations, creating ownership arrangements through limited liability companies, easement issues or selecting how to hold title to real property are all important issues that require an experienced attorney.
