Law Firm Overview

Simkin & Associate's litigation practice focus upon real estate and business disputes. We have created a specialized niche as one of the foremost landlord-tenant firms in Los Angeles. Simkin & Associates is experienced in all facets of real estate and business disputes from quiet title actions, specific performance, construction defects, home owner and condo associations, realtors, mechanic's liens, fraud, rent control issues, wrongful eviction, abuse of process to unlawful detainer (eviction) actions and just about anything else involving a contract, paper, promise, money and/or real estate.

Mr. Simkin has prosecuted and defended 1000's of unlawful detainer actions. These evictions have involved almost every conceivable issue which may arise in a commercial or residential landlord-tenant context. Our clients range from owners of large public markets such as the Grand Central Market or the "Fashion Alley", shopping centers, office buildings, shared tenant facilities, industrial sites, strip malls, apartments, single family homes. We have evicted everyone from a squatter, roommates, ex girlfriends, and family members.

Simkin & Associates also has a probate and conservatorship department to assist you to transfer property whether by will, intestate (no will) or by a trust. We also provide advice concerning asset protection which can protect assets from creditors and minimize tax issues so more of your estate can pass to your heirs.

An attorney will personally handle every aspect of your case from our initial meeting through the final resolution of the matter. We strive to demystify the U.S. legal system and obtain your goal as efficiently, accurately and as cost effective as possible.
