Appellate Practice

Los Angeles County Tenancy and Real Estate Appeals

Preparing to appeal or to defend a judgment requires preparation and efficiency on the part of an attorney with the skill to promote your interests and to develop a powerful argument for a positive outcome. Oftentimes, success comes with a technical understanding of the law; this technical understanding has allowed our attorneys successfully to represent thousands of clients.

At Daggenhurst Zakari, APC, located near downtown Los Angeles, our approach to providing this level of service in appeals is straightforward: We provide meticulous research and support to each of our legal arguments made on behalf of our clients in combination with our years of focus and experience in real estate and tenancy law.

Serving Clients in the Appellate Process

Our firm has earned a reputation in Los Angeles County for the successful handling of real estate and tenancy appeals. Our success is due in large part on our ability to identify the key issues of law involved in the appeal, and thereby identifying the strong and weak points of our client’s case. This analytical ability stems from our very extensive knowledge of landlord tenant case law and statutory law. Moreover, our understanding of the procedural hurdles and time-sensitive matters of the appeal process allows us to work in a cost effective and efficient matter. We handle appeals of decisions related to real estate, and landlord/tenant disputes including evictions.

Efficiently Assisting Clients on Appeal

The duties we perform for clients involved in appeals are proactive. Our concentration in the areas of landlord-tenant and real estate law gives us the extensive knowledge and experience to reduce the time needed for legal research, and our appellate lawyers always work with efficiency and accuracy. This adds up to time and money saved for our clients.

Recent Success Stories On Appeal

We recently appealed a judgment from the Federal Court in which a judge in our opinion incorrectly dismissed a plaintiff’s Fair Housing complaint, on grounds of res-judicata. Against a determined respondent using a specialized appellate firm with over 200 published opinions, we successfully appealed our line of legal reasoning to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal that agreed with our position and reversed the trial judge three to zero. Stein v. Braum Inv. and Development, Inc. Slip Copy, 2007 WL 2234617 (2007)

In another recent case the opposing party filed a baseless appeal in hopes of delaying and derailing our client’s complaint. We successfully moved the appellate court to dismiss the baseless appeal on technical grounds, thereby allowing our client’s complaint to go forward, and saving our client money and time.
