Reading the roster in Bakersfield. Real estate disputes are document cases: bring the purchase agreement, escrow file, title report, and any disclosure statements to a first meeting. Look for attorneys who practice real property litigation in the county where the land sits; venue is fixed there by Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 392, and ask whether the matter is better resolved by negotiation, a quiet title or partition filing, or the arbitration/mediation clause most CAR purchase agreements contain.
