CIVIL LITIGATION

Despite best efforts, disputes can arise between parties to a contract. It happens between landlords and tenants, business partners, employers and employees, and even friends. When faced with a dispute, do not go it alone. Even the simplest of acts or passing comments can have a negative effect on the outcome of the dispute. It helps to have a focused and skilled attorney advocating for your position when seeking prompt and effective resolution of any conflict. We are skilled at negotiating a range of pre- and post-litigation settlements. 

Kim has resolved a wide variety of civil disputes, including breach of contract lawsuits, unlawful detainer actions, construction defect claims and other general civil matters. Even where litigation becomes necessary, Kim has a track record of settling more than half of her cases prior to trial and a successful record in cases which are fully litigated to a verdict.
