Premier Landlord-Tenant and Real Estate Litigation

Managing real estate and business assets requires more than just good business sense; it requires a legal shield.

Landlord Representation

The core of the firm's practice revolves around assisting landlords in managing their legal relationships with tenants. California's tenant protection laws are among the strictest in the nation, making professional legal counsel essential.

• Evictions (Unlawful Detainer): The firm handles the entire eviction process, from drafting and serving the initial notice (3-day, 30-day, or 60-day) to representing the landlord in court trial. They ensure every step is legally sound to prevent delays.
• Lease Drafting and Review: creating robust residential and commercial lease agreements that clearly define rights and responsibilities, minimizing the potential for future disputes.
• Commercial Tenancies: addressing the unique challenges of commercial leases, including common area maintenance (CAM) charges, unauthorized alterations, and breach of contract.

Business and Civil Litigation

Beyond real estate, Calder & Mello provides experienced counsel in broader business matters. Their litigation background allows them to handle disputes that arise in the course of doing business.
