Bower, Esquire, an attorney with nearly three decades of dedicated real estate experience, our boutique firm is 100% focused on commercial real estate law.

We believe that legal representation should be forthright, proactive, and accessible. Our attorneys, Leslie Bower and Jeff Montez, handle all client files personally, offering the direct attention and tailored strategies that larger corporate law firms rarely provide.

Strategic Commercial Lease Enforcement and Evictions

For commercial landlords and property managers, lease enforcement is a key operational priority. When a tenant defaults on rent, breaches lease provisions, or refuses to vacate, it directly harms your property's profitability. Bower & Associates provides comprehensive support in commercial landlord-tenant disputes, specializing in lease enforcement, default notices, and unlawful detainer actions. We understand that California's eviction laws are technically demanding, and even minor procedural errors can cause expensive delays. Our team handles every step of the commercial eviction process with meticulous attention to detail, working quickly to restore your control over your property and minimize your lost revenue.

Comprehensive Transactional Services and Lease Review

A successful real estate venture begins with a bulletproof contract. Bower & Associates works diligently to ensure that your commercial transactions proceed smoothly without any unexpected surprises. We create, review, negotiate, and renew commercial lease agreements for retail centers, office buildings, and industrial parks. Additionally, our firm assists investors and developers with property acquisitions and sales, investigating zoning and land-use requirements, resolving title and lien issues, and drafting clear purchase and sale agreements. By identifying and eliminating potential legal liabilities before they arise, we protect your hard-earned assets.

Real Estate Litigation and Dispute Resolution

When acquisition disagreements, boundary disputes, or easement conflicts threaten to disrupt your investments, you need a strong trial advocate on your side. Bower & Associates represents clients in and out of the courtroom in all types of real estate litigation. We aggressively prosecute and defend breach of contract claims, partition actions, neighbor disputes, and construction defect claims. We are known for our forthright and approachable manner, partnering closely with our clients to reach optimal solutions that further their long-term commercial goals while keeping litigation costs manageable.
