questions attorneys often ask

What types of appearances do you handle?

I handle unlawful detainer court appearances including initial non-jury trial dates, continuances, law and motion hearings, ex parte applications, settlement conferences (including MSCs, hallway negotiations, and judge-led settlement conferences), bench trials, jury trials (including voir dire), and dedicated courthouse representation, with primary coverage on the Westside and additional LASC locations available by arrangement. My services are provided exclusively to tenant defense law firms.

Do you prepare the case or draft pleadings?

No. Your team prepares the case, strategy, motions, oppositions, trial binders, pleadings, exhibits, and does the necessary e-filings and e-service. Using the materials you provide, I prepare for the appearance and represent your firm in court.

Will you communicate with my client?

Yes, when appropriate. I represent your firm professionally in court and communicate clearly with judges, court staff, opposing counsel, and your client as needed, always as an extension of your law firm. Ongoing client communications and legal advice remain with your firm.

Which courts do you cover?

I primarily handle courtroom appearances in Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and Inglewood. I also have extensive appearance experience in Downtown Los Angeles, Van Nuys, and Long Beach. If you need appearance counsel in another Los Angeles Superior Court location, please feel free to ask.

How do I schedule an appearance?

The easiest way is to send me a text or an email using the contact form below. Once I understand the appearance, court location, and timing, I'll let you know my availability and we'll coordinate the details.
