Our Approach to Real Estate Litigation
Many San Diego real estate lawyers use cookie-cutter strategies that never evolve or adapt, regardless of the client or the situation. At The Enochs Law Group, we know that our clients need a personalized, innovative approach. When we handle a real estate dispute, we look at every aspect of the case with a critical eye.
Here’s what the process will look like when you work with us.
- Initial consultation: Before we start working, you’ll meet with one of our experienced lawyers. We’ll get to know you, your goals, and the circumstances surrounding your dispute. Based on this assessment, we’ll suggest options that reflect your goals.
- Pre-litigation stage: Your lawyer will investigate your claims and negotiate with the other parties, working to resolve your matter without litigation. At the same time, we’ll collect evidence, interview witnesses, consult with experts, and evaluate litigation strategies. Our mission is to put you in the best possible position for either a settlement or a favorable judicial decision.
- Litigation: Once someone files a lawsuit, we guide our clients through the array of motions, depositions, interrogatories, and other procedures that come before a trial. During this phase, we typically continue to negotiate with the other parties, but we always prepare our cases as if they will go to trial.
- Alternative dispute resolution (ADR): Depending on your contracts and agreements, you may need to arbitrate your dispute. Our team handles a wide variety of ADR matters, including mediation and arbitration.
We Build Relationships on Trust and Respect
We Approach Every Case With a Business Mindset
While you may be familiar with BATNA (best alternative to a negotiated agreement), it’s a technique many lawyers don’t know about or understand. At The Enochs Law Group, we believe our clients deserve pragmatic, informed advice, so we apply proven business principles like BATNA to litigation.
During negotiations, identifying your BATNA can lead to better and more efficient outcomes. However, before you can define a BATNA, you first need to:
- Set your priorities and objectives
- Identify all your data and metric-based alternatives
- Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of your options and place the options in a hierarchy
- Build a secondary course of action in case your negotiations fail
- Calculate the least favorable outcome you’re willing to accept
If you think this doesn’t sound like a typical approach to real estate litigation, you’re right. We don’t create legal strategies based on tradition. Instead, we use data, creativity, and critical thinking to give our clients an edge.
