OUR WORK
California Litigation and Trial Work
We litigate civil and administrative disputes in San Diego and California for both plaintiffs and defendants in large and small cases. We mostly handle real estate and business disputes, and we have been able to obtain superb results for our clients because of our first-rate handling of difficult litigation matters.
William A. Markham, a Harvard-trained attorney, performs and oversees the firm's litigation work in California. He mostly litigates real estate and business matters, doing so for plaintiffs and defendants alike in a wide array of large and small matters. In certain cases brought on behalf of plaintiffs, he has obtained some very substantial recoveries, several of which were well into the seven figures. In other cases, in which he has acted for the defense, he has defeated or greatly lessened major claims brought by serious litigants who at first glance appeared to have strong cases. He can personally handle your civil dispute or assemble a team of litigators for larger matters. Mr. Markham is widely regarded by his peers as a first-rate litigator of difficult commercial disputes and real estate controversies.
