Real Estate Litigation

Real estate disputes put significant value at risk and often turn on documents, disclosures, and deadlines. The Masjedian Law Firm handles complex California real property matters with the same trial-ready preparation we bring to every file — whether the goal is to enforce a contract, undo a bad deal, or defend ownership.

Disputes we handle. We represent buyers, sellers, owners, and investors in purchase-and-sale disputes, failure-to-disclose and misrepresentation claims, breach of contract, easement and boundary disputes, title and quiet-title actions, specific performance, partition actions between co-owners, and broker and agent liability.

What these cases turn on. California imposes broad disclosure duties on sellers and their agents, and a defect the seller knew about but failed to disclose can support a claim well after closing. Other matters hinge on the precise language of the purchase agreement, the escrow record, recorded instruments, and survey or title evidence. Early preservation of documents and communications frequently shapes the outcome.

Remedies. Depending on the dispute, remedies may include money damages, rescission (undoing the transaction), specific performance (forcing the deal to close), or a court-ordered partition or quiet-title judgment. Many real estate disputes resolve through negotiation or mediation — but on better terms when the file is built to be tried.

The seller hid a defect — do I still have a claim after closing? Often, yes. California’s disclosure obligations can support a claim for known defects that were not disclosed, subject to the applicable deadlines.

Can I force the other side to complete the sale? Because real property is considered unique, courts may order specific performance compelling completion of a valid contract — though the facts and contract terms control.
